I love infomercials. Our garage is filled with miscellaneous $19.99 (+ shipping and handling of course) wonders like rotisseries and steam cleaners, and I use, abuse and then lose these items in the deep dark depths of our garage faster than my husband can roll his eyes.

There are infomercial products that I won’t buy however, no matter how jacked up I am on late-night carbs and caffeine. Oh, I’ll peel off the cellophane on a package of microwave popcorn and sit down for a laugh, but I won’t pick up the phone to dial and read off my debit digits.

You may already know that I pee my pants every time I see the Snuggie commercial where they high-five and then do the wave. I just can’t seem to get over the Catholic Church condoning the use of their priestly garbs to keep teens, who can’t find a date on a Saturday night, super warm and cozy. Birth control at its best.

(Note: I am not the one snorting and giggling uncontrollably in the background. At least there is another youtuber that agrees with my sentiments).

And, my infinite love for the Mad-TV-like commercial for Chia Obama? After all, where can you grow greens on a president’s head, and not be booked for something similar to flag-burning, other than in the kitchen with your kids. Seriously, I thought it was the can and a half of reduced-fat Pringles that had my blood pressure so high that I was hallucinating.

This morning though, I found a new way to support the Depends industry:

Is it just me? Seriously???

    Dude. I LOVE my Snuggie! I would never EVER wear it out in public, but I *heart* it! Mine even came with a booklight so I can read in the dark since I’ll be covered up yet still have my hands free!! (I really do love it!)

    I have never, ever seen the Shake Weight though. Oh my goodness. That is wrong on so many levels!

    • Funny thing is, they DO look comfortable but I have two questions for you… Do you have the leopard print or the zebra stripes?…. And, does your dog have one too? *snicker snicker* (Sorry…I’m uncontrollable today from lack of sleep).

    My husband and I saw that Shake Weight together the first time. You don’t even want to know the looks and snickering that passed between us. It was all the more hysterical because our daughter kept asking “what’s so funny?”!!

    I like the Snugie commercial. My favorite commercial right now is the Geico one featuring Charlie Daniels tearing up the fiddle in a fancy restaurant. I’m also a fan of the “Smiling Bob” commercials for “natural male enhancement”. Those crack me up.

    I love that my children memorize all of the infomercials and can repeat them when they feel a draft under the door, I can’t find something in a purse, or a stain won’t come out …

  5. The Obama Chia is just WRONG.

  6. I need to get off watching so much Sprout and Nick Jr. – I am missing out on these opportunities for great laughs ;-)

    I commented on this earlier but maybe my iphone swallowed it… I don’t even remember what I said now. I’m sure it was something along the line of……….. I don’t think I need to spend the money on that when I could just…………;-)

  8. Sam LOVES infomercials and can quote many perfectly. (And, that’s just from seeing them at his grandparents’ house b/c we don’t do regular TV.) He got a snuggie for Christmas and still misses “Mr. Oxyclean”, as he called him. :o )
