favorite infomercials / as seen on tv products

don't know why I'm thinking of this but I thought it might make an interesting thread. what are your favorite infomercials and as seen on TV products.

My favorite infomercials for pure comedic value are anything by Tony little (this is what happens to you if you get a lobotomy and take speed)
That NADS hair removal system - talk about scary
and of course the spray paint your head with the hair in a can.

the products I'd actually buy and have wanted to are the ronco Showtime rotisserie (set it and forget it) I have some friends that have one, and it works as advertised. Very tasty.

that flat hose looks pretty cool, and after fighting with all the kinks and putting away the cheap walmart hose, I'm actually considering it.

I used to work nights while going to university. The only thing to do after a shift is watch TV or read, neighbors would hate it when I mowed the lawn a 3am <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> . Hence, I consider myself somewhat a savant of infomercials. The classic infomercial of all time has to be the old guy (imagine Tony Little in 60 years) with the crazy eyes and the juicer. Really if that guy showed up at my door I would buy one of his juicers just to make him go away. I still wake up screaming some nights with the thought of old crazy eyes making cabbage juice <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> . Cabbage juice yuk.

Bowflex. The power of resistance training. I have one, and it is pretty good. I have rock-hard abs, toned legs, and a firm glute so I guess it works. I bounce quarters off my butt everyday, just to be certain.

I miss the one that was on years back with the british guy and the pots in which the porage does not stick too.

No joke, I want the perfect pancake maker. The thingamabob that is the two frying pans laid one on top of each other. Makes egg without busting the yolk. Just need to order it one of these days. Keep saying I will later when the commercial comes on......
