Introducing the Slobstopper, for get messy spills and unplanned accidents.
00:04
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most useless infomercial products.
00:09
Classic dogs, beef dogs, turkey dogs, veggie dogs.
00:14
Number 10, Rejuvenique Electric Facial Mask.
00:18
This battery-powered facial mask was invented in the late 90s by someone who, we can only assume, was a huge Jason Voorhees fan.
00:25
The first time you position the mask on your face, you will likely want to use a mirror to help you align it properly.
00:31
So what does this thing do once you put in the 9-volt battery and turn it on?
00:35
Well, it does for your face what doing 8 sit-ups a second would do for your stomach.
00:39
As the system advances from one facial area to the next, you may need to increase or decrease the level of pulsation.
00:46
We guess not enough people wanted a facial six-pack, because this product is hard to find these days.
00:51
Of course, that may also have to do with the fact that the product was never FDA approved.
00:55
No face-ups for us, please.
00:57
Never immerse it in water or rinse it under the tap.
01:00
Number 9, Twirling Spaghetti Fork.
01:03
It's probably appropriate that the woman demonstrating this ridiculous fork on the Today Show
01:07
pre-faced the demonstration by declaring this item was good for children and lazy eaters.
01:12
And this is great for kids or lazy eaters.
01:14
Because if manually twirling the fork in your spaghetti noodles is that big a problem for you,
01:19
then there might be larger issues that you need to deal with beyond getting a self-twirling utensil.
01:23
And really, watching the brief demonstration,
01:25
it doesn't actually look like it even works that well all the time anyway.
01:28
Honestly, this thing seems like it would be more fun used on other foods,
01:32
grabbing bites as it's spun by our mouths.
01:34
So it's for someone who's not willing to go like this with their hand.
01:38
Number 8, Eggstractor.
01:40
The Eggstractor peels hard-boiled eggs instantly and perfectly.
01:43
Is peeling a hard-boiled egg really that big a problem?
01:45
Just crack it a little and peel.
01:47
Or you could break out this two-piece plastic thing called the Eggstractor.
01:51
Crack the egg a little, then push down on the accordion part.
01:53
Usually more than once, if the Amazon reviews are to be believed.
01:56
Until a mostly peeled egg pops out the bottom.
01:59
Watch your kids have fun decorating eggs and then peeling them for a delicious healthy snack.
02:03
Now, peel off the lingering shell and clean everything up.
02:06
The infomercial hypes up the Eggstractor as being able to peel a hard-boiled egg
02:10
10 times faster than doing it by hand.
02:12
But that process doesn't sound 10 times faster to us.
02:15
Call now and you'll get the patented Eggstractor for just $9.99.
02:18
Number 7, Better Marriage Blanket.
02:21
A blanket that can improve marriages?
02:23
Sign us up!
02:23
What does it do?
02:24
Does it help pay the bills?
02:25
Does it clean up after you so that your partner doesn't have to?
02:28
Does it provide some sort of physical intimacy that you feel is lacking?
02:31
Nope!
02:32
It absorbs farts.
02:34
It's the problem in the marriage bed that no one likes to talk about.
02:37
Maybe that's why they call it silent but deadly.
02:41
Yep, you heard that right.
02:42
If the only thing keeping you and your partner from having a better marriage
02:45
is less flatulent odors in bed, then good for you.
02:49
Because for most people, relationship problems are not something a blanket can solve.
02:52
Don't do that!
02:54
What am I doing?
02:55
Don't fart in the bed!
02:57
Number 6, Comfort Wipe.
02:59
The idea behind this product is that it makes it easier to, um,
03:02
clean up after going to the bathroom.
03:04
The comfort wipe is an extension arm that can grip toilet paper on one end.
03:08
A button on the handle releases the TP when you're done.
03:11
The first improvement to toilet paper as we know it since the 1880s.
03:15
Because, we guess the theory goes, sometimes you just need 15 more inches?
03:20
Now, we had read that the company behind the product discontinued it
03:23
before ever taking it to market back in 2009.
03:25
Think about it.
03:26
Toilet paper is really archaic and disgusting.
03:29
The comfort wipe is a modern solution.
03:31
However, today the product is out there being sold.
03:34
Although, the marketing has changed and is focused on appealing to those with limited mobility.
03:39
So, maybe they found an actual problem it solves?
03:41
Don't be embarrassed.
03:43
Just get a comfort wipe.
03:44
Number 5, Titty Bear.
03:46
On the Titty Bear website, in big bold letters, is the question,
03:50
does the shoulder strap of your car seatbelt cause discomfort on your shoulder?
03:53
Um, no.
03:55
Is your shoulder strap too tight and irritating?
03:57
Um, also no.
03:59
Introducing the Titty Bear.
04:01
We're not saying a cute little teddy bear attached to our seatbelt and resting on our chest
04:05
doesn't sound adorable.
04:06
And we guess it could make wearing a seatbelt, as they claim, more fun.
04:10
But is it really going to make driving more comfortable?
04:13
Place it here or here or anywhere you need.
04:17
We can think of better uses for our $9.95 plus shipping and handling.
04:21
Also, is it just us or is the name of the Titty Bear
04:24
a little creepily suggestive of where the bear sits on a woman's body?
04:28
Now with the Titty Bear, I really enjoy traveling again.
04:31
Number 4, Bear Scratch.
04:34
You know the old adage, if it's good enough for a bear, it's good enough for us?
04:37
Yeah, we don't know that one either.
04:39
We don't swat fish out of the water.
04:40
We don't hibernate for the winter.
04:42
We have many other options when it comes to scratching our backs
04:45
that don't include anchoring a large log to our walls.
04:48
It gives you a deep, deep penetrating scratch.
04:51
We totally get not being able to reach an itch and needing to ask our partner
04:55
or grab a bat scratcher.
04:56
Now that's a bear scratch!
04:58
That is a bear scratch!
05:00
We've also found ourselves on rare occasions
05:03
desperately rubbing against the corner of a wall to hit the spot.
05:06
But going full bear seems like taking a step too far.
05:10
Bear size my order!
05:11
How about that?
05:11
Number 3, Happy Hot Dog Man.
05:14
As any parent will tell you, getting kids to eat their food isn't always easy.
05:18
And anything that can make dinnertime more fun is an invention worth checking out.
05:22
It brings ordinary hot dogs to life, making lunchtime more fun.
05:26
But why on earth would anyone put all their make-food-fun energy into hot dogs?
05:31
Come on, really?
05:32
Hot dogs are already the fun part of a meal.
05:34
It's like a toy you can eat.
05:36
Do we really need to slice them so that they can look like a Gumby-esque tube of meat?
05:39
Maybe if it was Happy Broccoli Man or Happy Brussels Sprouts Man,
05:43
then we'd have something to talk about.
05:44
And we'll double the offer to four Happy Hot Dog Men.
05:47
Number 2, Potty Putter.
05:50
Whether you've just taken up the sport or been golfing for years,
05:53
we can all use some help with our putting.
05:54
Any spare moment you find ourselves standing around
05:57
is the perfect opportunity to get in a few practice putts.
05:59
Now, practice your putting every time you take care of your other business.
06:03
Just aim and shoot the ball into the cup.
06:07
But notice the key word there, standing.
06:09
Of all the times and places to tap a few putts,
06:12
sitting on the toilet isn't one of them.
06:14
We aren't kidding either.
06:15
Just think all that extra practice every time you visit the job.
06:19
The OG infomercial for this product really does claim
06:23
that all this potty practice will shave strokes off your game.
06:26
Although we do want to give some props to whoever came up with the tagline
06:29
in one ad we saw, get a hole in one while doing number two.
06:32
That's gold!

06:51
Number one, Slobstopper.
06:53
Bibs aren't just for babies, says the tagline on the Slobstopper.
06:57
You know what?
06:58
Yes, they are.
06:59
The Slobstopper is a waterproof double-layered bib for grownups.
07:03
The Slobstopper absorbs on one side and is waterproof on the other.
07:06
But not just a little bib, more like a long smock aimed at commuters who,
07:11
if the commercial is right, can't seem to drink a coffee in the car
07:13
without spilling the entire thing all over themselves.
07:16
Just slip it on and enjoy your busy lifestyle.
07:19
These accidents lead to looks of disgust from passerbys,
07:22
looks that transform into flirty smiles when the same commuter
07:25
spills his coffee all over his man bib.
07:28
Instead of getting a Slobstopper, just stop being a slob!
07:34
