PajamaGram = Worst Infomercial? - Blu-ray Forum

toef · 02-11-2009, 09:04 PM

I used to think the Snuggie commercials were fairly annoying, but then after realizing they were intentionally cheesy, it wasn't so bad.

So now the worst infomercial goes to PajamaGram.

Apparently tons of people are buying these things, because they've spent tons of money putting the commercial on every channel I watch.

The worst is when they have two consecutive commercials, so I get to sit through the same 30-second ad two times in a row.

If it's not the worst infomercial of all time, what is?

ShamWow!!

No way man, anything with Vince is gold!

fatediesel · 02-11-2009, 10:02 PM

Shamwow is amazing. I love the fact that the guy is wearing that giant head mic for no reason. On a side note, I bought the Shamwow, and while they aren't bad, they are by no means great. I don't think they're really better than normal towels.

I thought he was crazy, but then when I was at the NYS fair this summer, they had a whole building of these sort of guys, so I guess he's fairly typical when it comes to infomercial pitch-men. I bet they all worship Billy Mays.

You guys leave Vince alone! Ok, I'll give you the Shamwow. Maybe that was not such a good infomercial. But please check out this SlapChop. My life really was boring before this product but now it is so exciting! I have Vince and the SlapChop to thank for that. I love his nuts.

It's so funny that he does say that about the nuts in the commercial

I bought some knockoff shammys and they were awful so I was really gonna get these because they looked so much better, but they're really that bad?

That video is full of great moments.

"1 slap.... SALAD!"

"Tacos, fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini."

The behind-the-back shot into the sink.

I also like how he takes the 'r' out of "throws". In this, and in Sham-Wow, he has his signature line "Ya' thowin' ya' money away."

I was always a little weirded out by these mini-infomercials. I find myself asking, 'what's with products intentionally not sold in stores?' Don't you ppl want our money? Why not sell like normal ppl?

if you could actually SEE how crappy the stuff was, you'd never sell any of it lol

I looked this guy up on Wikipedia, and am shocked to see he is ~45 years old (born in 1964).

Apparently he released his own comedy movie in the late 90's, based on a comedy show he had on public access TV.

I just want to know if it's intentional that the Snuggie (especially the red one) looks like some kind of cult member uniform.

QwikSand · 02-12-2009, 12:23 AM

I'll admit, I am a sucker for infomercials. I can't walk by the As Seen On TV stores in the malls without stopping in. Who buys this junk? Me, I am that person. I almost bought the Snuggie, but the tried turning my robe around and that works pretty good too.

If they ever make a live-action Simpsons movie, he'll get the role of Moe for sure.
