.. but it's probably not a real infomercial since it's British comedian Steve Coogan.
Its from the Movie "Hamlet 2"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104733/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

at the start of the movie theres a great montage of Steve Coogan's failed attempts at acting with various bit parts and tv commercials.

I recommend the movie.

I actually really like our slap chop. Doesn't get much use but we have had ours for a few years and we didn't pay much for it ($10 IIRC)

Good for cutting hot peppers or whipping up some fresh salsa.

I've actually seen it but missed the first little bit. Should watch it again, very funny.

The magic bullet works great, but it craps out after a few months. Good idea, just not built for the long-term.

In fact all the products they tried failed the grade.

Has anybody actually used one of those MagicMesh screen doors? They look like they might be alright.

I think the premise of the slap chop is good, but it isn't executed well. The food doesn't tend to release from the blades if you're chopping up something like an onion or garlic. If it was a real blade, and not an un-honed piece of sheet metal, it would probably work really well.

The other problem with the slap chop is you need to cut the food so it fits under the chopper. If I need a knife already why do I need the slap chop too

If you can find the "steel" edition one, it actually has a better motor, better blades and a crapton more attachments. Have had one for about 4 years and it still works peachy.

Costs twice as much as the regular one however.

This reminds me of a kitty litter commercial that used to be on. The woman is trying to dump the litter into the garbage can, and basically has a stroke while doing it.

Also, these work really well for storing long extension cords and keeping them organized.

I took off a big chunk of finger using one of those...really dangerous
