"Has this ever happened to you? You go to type on your computer keyboard and then realize too late, UH-OH, that's actually the surface of a ridiculously hot hibachi grill! Then you need HeadLight, the world's first halogen light insulated well enough to be affixed directly to your forehead! Experience visibility like never before

I would SO watch any infomercial that you produce.

[milestogo13]

I really think they would be compelling pieces of consumerist storytelling, that no network in their right mind would ever, ever air. I'd be the first straight to DVD infomercial producer...

Aaaugh I can't breathe. XD I desperately needed that cacklefit, thank you. <3

What's frightening I might have seen the buzzy plastic commercial while eating lunch at a restaurant with my grandparents. WHILE WE WERE EATING. D:

I have horrifying memories of one I saw about some sort of odor removing substance. The guy picks up his shoe, squints at it as if he's never seen it before, sniffs the shoe, and makes a surprised, delighted "Oh, look, how lovely!" face. WHO DOES THAT?! XD

[milestogo13]

The people in these infomercials have to be drawn from an alternate reality which operates on entirely different rules from our own, because that's the only way I can think of that they'd look THIS confused in every day situations. Maybe that's what they're hiding in that big Telebrands plaza compound...

Ow, your humor makes my cough worse. Carry on! :D

ETA: I almost forgot about this.

The edit video is much appreciated. I'm glad I'm not alone in this. :D

I should *not* have followed the YouTube link. You, sir, owe me 50 IQ points. Minimum.

(Also, have I mentioned how happy I am to have you back in the land of LJ? :) )

[milestogo13]

Awww, thanks! I'm happy to be back here. I've missed my old ranting grounds...

And yes, I really should have put some kind of warning on that link, but it's just so much more impactful if you go into thinking that I HAVE to be joking.

YOU'RE IN MY MIND.

Except, in my case, these informercials are invading the cartoon channels. I'm surprised you didn't mention that gadget that supposedly cuts straight lines and has a light on it, featuring Incompetent Scissors Woman. (I can't remember now what the gadget was called, but both Alex and I were surprised that the woman in question was allowed sharp objects of any kind at all.)

[milestogo13]

They're on the cartoon channels now, too? Trying to get at what they must perceive as parents who are forced to watch those programs by their children and may be mind-numbed as a result, same principle as daytime TV. Little do they know that some of us still like cartoons, and think their commercials are stupid. And I really wish I had remembered incompetent scissors woman. She's like an infomercial superhero!
