Is anyone else addicted to infomercials besides me?

Ever since I was little I have loved watching Infomercials. My mom banned me from watching them because I would wake her up at 6 in the morning telling her why she HAD to have this certain mop, kitchen appliance, and so on. Just curious if anyone else shares the same love for them. I have also watched the Magic Bullet infomercial probably more than 15 times. I know I can’t be alone…..Right?

Only if it’s Susanne Sommers and that fine piece of equipment called the ThighMaster…
I like the Susan Lucci skin care products. There’s just something hypnotic about them.
And I think she just endorsed a stepping stool that doubles as some sort of abdominal workout…
So not.
@sjmc1989 Please step away from the credit cards.
I love them, they’re just interesting to watch! I once watched a 2-hour informercial for the “Tobi” hand steam-cleaner, but my fave infomerical is for the Hawaii Chair. It’s hilarious.
@Marina thats just the thing while Im watching them Im saying to myself I know that is the biggest piece of crap and it does not work and I never buy them, but I still watch. I dont get it either.
@mangeons I have never seen the Hawaii Chair I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one. I just love watching the demostrations they hypnotize me
@mangeons Oh I have to see all of that one That was HILARIOUS!! Loved It!
@sjmc1989 do we need to do an infomercial Intervention? You’ll find that your fellow fluther-mates can be very helpful!
Edited to add: OH!! Welcome to Fluther! :)
Strangely addicting video crack…I write down the number and wait one hour before ordering anything. Nine times out of ten I find that I really CAN live without a magic chopper….but the magic orange towel, I’ve been told “you’d be out of your mind not to order one.” I may be crazy.
It wasn’t an infomercial but it was a commercial that used to run late at night. The opening line was, “Kiss your hemorroids goodbye!”
Not even if I could.
One thing I love more than infomercials…is buying shit off of them. I have a snuggie and that buxton bag. I am not ashamed. My mother bought both for me, it cracks me up.
The snuggie is the one that I love the most. That thing is ridiculous!
70’s PSAs and 80’s informercials are where it’s at.
Infomercial and insomnia do not mix well. I have the Magic Bullet, GT100 (grill), a set of those freaky knives, (which by the way are really great!) aquaglobes, and so many other things. I’ve made myself quit watching them lately. I think I’m in lurve with the ShamWow guy though.
The Sham Wow guy cracks me up! What bar did they find him in? Is it me, or does he look like he slightly wants to strangle someone with that towel?
The Snuggie commercial is ridiculous. I mean, who would wear that thing in public?
There is a youtube clip where they call the snuggie a wtf blanket! Hilarious.
<gets off to the shamwow infomercial. ohh the absorption…>
Point of interst in the Shamwow commerical when he pours it on the carpet piece.
There is a momentary break in the video. Look after he pours it and the soda overflows the edge of the carpet. Right then is a break. Next he is applying the shamwow but look again and the soda is not oveflowing the edge of the carpet before he applies the “shammy”. And a sham it is…
I wish Billy Mays was my dad.
I would rather watch infomercials than anything else on TV. They are the most entertaining thing to me I have no idea why lol. I’ve never purchased anything I just like to watch them. I guess I like hearing how they sell their product.
@AstroChuck Thank you for finding that I think everyone could use that in their lives.
@AstroChuck It’s actually called a Snuggie, but it’s the same thing.
Unless it’s supposed to be making fun of the Shamwow! Then yes, I believe I have. :(
