Anyone here watch infomercials and laugh at them?

Haha, I saw this one today, it was a spaghetti strainer that hooks onto the faucet called Yaffa, and they kept saying, in this cheesy voice: "Go Yaffa." It was hillarious. But seriously, I have bought a couple things off infomercials, only those touch lamps. Anyway, anyone else have a funny infomercial?

Yes, they are so damn fake. I hate the. And in Australia they have to have a warning in front of them saying, "this is a payed infomercial".
It's like, "yer thats not hard to pick!" Burn them all!.

see the new steam and clean, it cleans sofas cushions, upholstry and even chairs, at £1002 its a steal, and for a limited time only we'll throw in a free pen! the new steam and clean, heres what one of our clients said 'yes...it cleans......and for only £600 a month....i cant read the cue card he keeps moving) thats right, as our customers say steam and clean is the best product out there, just watch it in action *several minutes of models using steam cleaner jobby* *repeat through again.*
............................................................. watch early morning tv in the uk...its terrible.

lol, and I love the ones that ramble on then say: "But wait there's more. If you buy this noodle grader, we'll throw in a free pizza gun, and we'll also add a teaspoon of water. So for only four payments of 19.99 you'll get a noodle grader, a pizza gun, AND a teaspoon of water. But wait, there's more!" lol, those crack me up

[color=crimson][size=1]I have a theory about infomercials....
The reason why they show them late at night (Well the long versions anyway...) is so that when you're flipping through the channels and you're dead tired, and there's nothing on, they'll catch your eye....then you can't help but sit there and watch them because they're so addictive and you just wonder how in the world do they work because you know it's all fake...and so then they BRAINWASH you...that's EXACTLY IT!!!!! Okay...I'll shut up now...[/color][/size]

What I think is dumb is how they'll go on and ON about the smallest and pointless knick-knacks, like 'special' screwdrivers or a gadget for hanging up your forks so they don't crowd your spoons, or some such nonsense. All that wasted money that could have been going to a better cause in the economy..... quite sad.

Hmm. Watching Victor Paul Home Shopping, at least I think that was it, for one product, there were 7 "but wait, there's more! (in voice that so drips with sincerity it has to be computer generated) style" add-ons. That ended costing more than the product itself.

Heh, i remember watching this one infomercial talking about one of those electric toothbrushes(i don't even know the name to those contraptions). "It'll actually make your kids WANT TO brush their teeth!" Now that was funny.
