I wish people were this clumsy in real life.

It would give me a reason to be meaner.

What really bothers me is how fucking loud infomercials are. I can't even fall asleep with the TV on, for fear of MOTHERFUCKING SLAPCHOPS MAKING SOME MOTHERFUCKING SALAD AND SHIT YO!!!at 3 in the morning.

Easy Feet
It's actually a decent looking product except they market it all wrong. They market it as a "DERP Are you a moron who doesn't know how to wash their feet?" Where as it would be better market as a foot massage/cleaner and marketed towards the elderly.

Okay, do people really not know how to cut an onion? Or a tomato? Or crack a God damn egg? OR EAT A FUCKING HAMBURGER?

My God, are they even trying to seem realistic in these commercials?

One that always pissed me off was some easy chop thing you held in your hands that split hard boiled eggs and garlic and all that easily, but after they cut the object they turn the object towards your face, basically saying "Didja see that, ya retard? It went clear through!"

Same thing with "Get a Grip". The product did made sense had they market it to the elderly and those with leg problem or a back problem but instead they made people at least twelve times clumsier. Talk about being able to stand up straight, it's like they dropped a soap and slipped.

I don't laugh at them anymore since they are pretty much all the same. I haven't seen a new one in a while though so I'll have a good laugh when I see one.

Because cracking eggs is close to impossible without it.

Somthing similar:
before and after pictures of weightloss products.

Before: a sad guy with a sagging tummy in a wide shirt.
After: a guy shirtless man with 6-pack abs and a smile.

Seriously, I can get it may help to lose weight, but I doubt it can create muscles like that.

Some people are lazy I guess.

You missed the point. He was stating that making your own pizza is a simple task so why do so many people go and get fast food (aka Dominos and Pizza Hut)? Same concept.

Yep, I heard about that on a video on YouTube as well as in college. Notice how they always show those parts of the commercial in black and white? They work hard to make the people look really silly and stupid. They basically say that if you do not have this product bad things are going to happen! Now that I remember, I don't think Billy Mays did many commercials that were like that. No wonder he is so popular.

That's easy, in this case I have to be fair, not everyone would trust their own cooking. That way it's more convenient.

Yeah, Billy Mays made the infomercials much more worthwhile. He's still pretty much missed, if only he hadn't done coke.

Sadly these ads create a large amount of sales to the number of idiots that watch TV.
