Default The CP Annoying Infomercials Thread! (Enter at your own risk!)

I was channel surfing, and I came across this this infomercial for a "NuWave" oven. Well, I was laughing almost instantly! The acting was horrible, the script was over-the-top, and the "meals" created in this oven were nothing to write home about.



That's sub par, even for infomercials! The actors were so annoying!

Anyone care to share some more clips of pathetic attempts to sell stuff?

And it's so large that you have no where to store it, so it will sit in a spare bedroom or the garage and forgotten.

I like the squinty-eye Sham-Wow guy. He clearly got his squint when some rogue liquid shot out of an inferior product.

This guy.

I like that particular commercial because it reminds me of the Stampede exhibitors.

I didn't realize the Shamwow comes with a 10 year warranty until just now...that's enticing!

I don't know what it is but I've always loved watching infomercials, I've never bought anything from them nor will I ever. But I find them wildly entertaining.
