So, as I sat here tediously sculpting some tendrils on my spore pod, the show I was watching ended...and the infomercials started. Normally I flip the channel, history/discovery/NGC, something not too distracting. But I had some really fiddly bitz to get set in place so I kept working on it.
Thats when Vince started talking about the Slap Chop, and how much we're gonna love his nuts Not as annoying as that stupid dude with the ??? all over his suit, but still....
Soo, to get that out of my mind- I ask ye lads of DakkaDakka- whats the stupidest commercial/infomercial youve seen? (And if you've seen one thats good/funny share it too!)
This one made me want to kill all advertisers. I do not need to hear the word 'Poo' repeated loudly by a five year old when i am trying to eat thankyouverymuch.

Personally this ONE Orbits gum commercial still makes me smile, and everyone has seen it at least a million times.
But oddly enough, I find my self watching infomercials alot. Im not sure why as usually they irritate me to no end, I think its because I enjoy the un-reality of them all.
I couldnt switch to the History/Discovery channel, Id watch whatever is on them instead
Mr. T advertising the Flavor-wave oven. That one is pretty dumb.
painted: 12 dryads,9 glade guard,2 glade guard scouts.
assembled but unpainted: 2 glade guard and the lord's bowman, 8 glade guard scouts, sexy elf lord
in the box: , 8 glade riders, , one female spellsinger, Orion, Ariel, the faerie queen. SOB immolator, 15 sisters.
Seconded, Albatross. That cracks me up everytime it's on.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
The ShakeWeight commercial kills me. My mind goes straight to the gutter as soon as i see it. Also they have a ShakeWeight for men now too........ i guess if you need extra forearm practice.

I can't find it on Youtube but there is a truly appalling advert for BT (British Telecom) running over here in the UK.
It shows a small child crying because her father talks to her on his mobile phone rather that using his land line (I know, what a cretin). The implication being that if you care about your Child's emotional well-being, you better give BT more money. Sickening yet unsurprising, I'll hand you over to Bill now:

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
'Sandy Balls' and 'Simple Pleasures' should only be used in the same sentence by people like Max Moseley.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
