00:00Introducing the revolutionary sauna pants, the at-home sauna experience that you can enjoy when you want to and where you want to.
00:08Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for those as-seen-on-TV products that should never be seen in your house or on your credit card bill.
00:16Shake Weight is the flab-busting breakthrough that trims your arms and shapes your shoulders at the same time.
00:23Number 50. Go-Go Pillow.
00:26A pillow that can hold your tablet. Just what you always wanted, right?
00:30Maybe this was actually kind of useful before there were all those tablet cases with built-in stands.
00:33The plush, comfortable, multifunction pillow that fits any tablet, anytime, anywhere, so you can work hands-on or hands-off.
00:42But even then, the reason for this thing seems odd.
00:45In the commercial, they show people using it on an exercise bike. Really?
00:48We get using it in bed, but at that point, can't we just lean it against one of our own pillows?
00:53The one good thing about this product is that it transforms into one of those travel neck pillows.
00:57The Go-Go Pillow accomplishes that for you. It's absolutely every single function you could possibly want from a travel pillow.
01:05But then you have to go and hold your tablet in your hands. Guess you have to buy two.
01:08Number 49. Miracle Socks.
01:11They may call them a miracle, but these are just graduated compression socks.
01:15Now, there's Miracle Socks, the new anti-fatigue compression socks that soothe, massage, and energize your feet and legs.
01:22Now, can compression socks be useful? Yes, so these can be as well.
01:26But they aren't using any kind of new technology that any regular pair of graduated compression socks don't already use.
01:32They also claim to be much more fashionable than medical socks. That's debatable.
01:37Basically, they just took a product that already existed and threw a fancy eye-catching name on them.
01:41Whenever I travel, I wear Miracle Socks. My shoes fit and my legs don't swell.
01:46That gives us an idea for an amazing new product. It's called a Miracle Fork.
01:50And if you buy one, you get a Miracle T-shirt at half price.
01:54Number 48. Leg and Foot Warmers.
01:56When socks and slippers just won't do, leg and foot warmers save the day.
02:00Leg and foot warmers by Jobar International claim to keep you comfy and warm with these adjustable fleece and cotton booties.
02:07The Pria was cool to them right away because of their baggy style and $25 price tag.
02:13Some people have called them an ugly version of Uggs, but to us, they are like a Snuggie for your feet and lower legs.
02:19These fleece boot-like things wrap around your lower leg and feet and do the job of a nice big warm sock.
02:25But with the added bonus of making you look ridiculous, not to mention the opening at the toe.
02:30We guess that's why they aren't called leg and foot and toe warmers.
02:33There's this gaping hole at the top. Like, my toes get cold.
02:37They also make the claim that the product helps promote circulation, but we doubt it.
02:42And we already have the miracle socks for that anyway.
02:44Number 47. My Secret Hair Enhancer.
02:47It's been decades and we still don't know what secret Victoria is keeping from us.
02:51But it took us all of five seconds to crack the code of my secret hair enhancer.
02:55Spray paint.
02:56Now it's time to do the spray.
02:57Okay, not literal spray paint, but a head-safe version of spray paint
03:01that is supposed to cover up any bald or balding areas among whatever hair you have left.
03:05According to the how-to videos we watched, there are also some fibers you have to shake onto your head as well.
03:10All I have to do is lightly shake the fibers onto thinning areas to cover the exposed scalp
03:17and directly onto hair to add volume.
03:20Also, don't plan on letting anyone get too close or touch your head
03:23if you want to keep your use of the My Secret Hair Enhancer a secret.
03:27Number 46. Lady Elegance Pee Easy.
03:30No, this isn't some kind of elegant Pez dispenser,
03:32but rather a urine dispenser for women who are sick and tired of all that sitting and squatting
03:37and want to pee standing up.
03:38All they have to do is stick this funnel-like device in their pants,
03:41tube pointed out, and let her whiz.
03:43The product description also hypes the fact that the product allows women to urinate
03:47while in the lying position as well.
03:49What? When is that ever necessary?
03:51And regardless of what position they use it in,
03:53they still have to put this urine-covered device away afterwards.
03:57We hope not in their purse.
03:59Number 45. Chilo.
04:00We understand that pillows get warm and that a cooler pillow is more comfortable,
04:04which is why we've been known to flip our pillow over at least once throughout the night.
04:09Introducing Chilo, the amazing new pillow pack that transforms your pillow into a Chilo.
04:14But what if you had a cold, vinyl-covered mat filled with water to put on top of your pillow instead?
04:19Well, you're in luck.
04:20Say hi to Chilo.
04:21Now, instead of a comfortable pillow you probably spent quite a bit of money on,
04:25you can rest your head on a rather uncomfortable mat.
04:28Chilo fits perfectly inside your pillowcase, or sleep right on the slip-proof cushion.
04:33And you get the added bonus of the valve possibly popping and waking up in a pool of water.
04:37Number 44. Tater Mitts.
04:39Big dishwashing gloves with a hard, rough palm.
04:42Tater Mitts look more like some kind of torture device than a kitchen accessory.
04:45Now there's a better way. Introducing Tater Mitts, the innovative new kitchen gloves.
04:51Simply rub, and with a few quick strokes, look, just eight seconds of actual time.
04:57And presto, a perfectly peeled potato.
05:00Which we guess makes sense, since they're designed to rip the skin off a potato in eight seconds.
05:04What they do not mention in the commercial is that you first have to boil the potatoes for five minutes
05:09before running them under cold water while rubbing them vigorously between the gloves to peel them.
05:14Forget to boil them, and these things are more than useless.
05:17So really, you're looking at five minutes and eight seconds, at least.
05:20We'll stick with the good old potato peeler, thank you very much.
05:22We're preparing a larger batch of potatoes, absolute deal.
05:26The peeler is still going to be what is the most time efficient.
05:30Number 43. Hot Hughes Hair Chalk.
05:32You know when you were a kid in school and you got chalk on your hands from writing on the blackboard
05:36and then you touched your head and some of that chalk color got in your hair?
05:39Introducing Hot Hughes Hair Chalk.
05:41The eye-popping color that glides on for instant glamorous fun.
05:45Then shampoos out when you're done.
05:47Well, someone turned that into a business and called it Hot Hughes.
05:50Pull your hair through the hair chalk applicator and voila, you have some chalk colored strands.
05:55Except your head isn't a chalkboard.
05:57Also, it washes right out in the shower.
05:59So if you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, you might want to skip the rain part.
06:03With Hot Hughes, it's easy fun to change and choose and it all washes out with shampoo.
06:09Number 42. For Real Portable Sauna.
06:12Can and should are two very different things.
06:15You know, just because you can make something portable doesn't mean you should make it portable.
06:19A phone? Yes, we're totally on board.
06:21But we're thinking a sauna is something that doesn't really need the portable treatment.
06:25Maybe it's just because you'll look ridiculous in it.
06:28Because you will.
06:28Like some kind of upright silver turtle with your head and hand sticking out.
06:32But it will definitely heat you up like a sauna.
06:34And hey, there's also a cup holder.
06:36So that's pretty cool.
06:38Number 41. Rapid Ramen Cooker.
06:40If you make a big bowl of ramen and your first thought is,
06:43man, if only this instant food took a fraction of the time to cook,
06:46then boy, do we have the pointless product for you.
06:48Rapid Ramen is the world's fastest and easiest way to cook ramen noodles.
06:52Instead of simply placing the freeze-dried noodles into a pot,
06:55the Rapid Ramen Cooker promises that their ingenious plastic dish
06:58will cut your precious ramen cooking time in half.
07:01Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize
07:03that the microwave might be your fastest heating option.
07:06But how's this cookware any better than your run-of-the-mill bowl?
07:09It, um, has handles, of course.
07:12Rapid Ramen heat-resistant handles make handling safer and easier.
07:16Next, they'll try to sell us a spoon and call it the speedy scooping device.
07:20Number 40. Titty Bear.
07:22Right at the top of the Titty Bear website, it asks,
07:24does the shoulder strap of your car seat belt cause discomfort on your shoulder?
07:27Introducing the Titty Bear. That's T-I-D-D-Y Bear.
07:32The cute little guy that eliminates all those irritating shoulder strap problems.
07:36We think the better question should be,
07:38does having a little teddy bear smushed face first right up into your chest
07:41in a frankly suggestive manner cause you discomfort?
07:43The fact that they even call this thing Titty Bear as a not-so-subtle ode
07:47to the location it will sit on a woman's chest is hilariously creepy.
07:51The Titty Bear stays where you want it until you move it.
07:55And it's easy to slide out of the way when not in use.
07:58Listen to the voiceover guy say the name.
08:00You'll swear he pronounced the double D as double T.
08:04Number 39. Neck Magic Air Cushion.
08:06Nothing about the neck massage air cushion seems right.
08:09When it's fully blown up, it actually kind of looks like a torture device.
08:11From the super uncomfortable look of the woman using the product on the box
08:15to the fact that you are literally putting something around your neck
08:18and then purposely making it tighter and tighter.
08:20Why do so many of these products sound like they could be used as torture devices
08:24if they landed in the wrong hands?
08:25I do worry when you start just pulling on people's necks with imprecise mechanism.
08:30Although in the case of the Neck Magic Air Cushion, it is in your hands.
08:34So you really have no one to blame but yourself.
08:37Number 38. Potty Patch.
08:38We're not trying to take sides in the very contentious
08:41which are better cats or dogs debate.
08:43Now dogs have a safe place to relieve themselves.
08:46No more spots on the carpet.
08:47Stains on your hardwood.
08:49And mishaps on the couch.
08:50But when it comes to making a pros and cons list,
08:53isn't one of the items on the dogs' pro list
08:55the fact that they don't go to the bathroom in the house?
08:57No litter boxes.
08:58No constant stink in the air.
09:00With the Potty Patch, you can turn your outdoor pooper
09:02into an inside one with a square of artificial grass.
09:05My dogs and I hate going out in the cold.
09:08The Potty Patch is the perfect solution.
09:10Now maybe if we could use it to practice our putting.
09:13Number 37. City Kitty.
09:15From dogs pooping on a patch of fake grass
09:17to cats using the toilet.
09:18Say goodbye to litter for good with City Kitty.
09:21The complete cat toilet training kit.
09:23Yes, we're talking about City Kitty.
09:25The toilet training kit for your kitty cat.
09:27And yes, we get it.
09:28A cat that can use the toilet sounds like a dream come true.
09:31But is it really?
09:33Health officials warn us never flush our cat's litter down the toilet.
09:36And it isn't just because of the litter clogging the pipes.
09:39It's because the toxins in cat waste can be harmful to some humans.
09:43And no one wants that getting into the water supply.
09:45Start living litter free today with City Kitty.
09:48There's also the issue that cats who use the toilet aren't burying their feces.
09:52Which is a natural instinct of the animal.
09:54Sorry cats.
09:55Back to the litter boxes.
09:57Number 36.
09:58Roll up electronic piano.
09:59Unrolling an electronic piano might sound really good.
10:02But you know what doesn't sound really good?
10:04A roll up electronic piano.
10:06Unrolling an electronic piano might sound easy.
10:09But you know what isn't easy?
10:10Properly playing a roll up electronic piano.
10:13To be fair, there is a wide range of roll up pianos out there.
10:16From really cheap kiddo ones to ones supposedly designed for actual musicians.
10:21But for a little bit more money, you know what you can get?
10:23An actual electronic keyboard.
10:25Sure, you can't roll it up.
10:26But those are the sacrifices we all must make.
10:29Number 35.
10:30Bowl bright.
10:31There are plenty of toilet lights out there.
10:33But what makes Bowl bright so special is the device's detection system that can tell whether
10:37the toilet seat is up or down.
10:39And indicate this via glowing red or green when you walk into the bathroom.
10:42Now every time when he leaves the seat up, I'll know.
10:46Red tells me the lid is up.
10:48Green tells me it's down.
10:49It's safe to sit.
10:50If this product were ever to catch on, it'd derail the careers of many aspiring stand-up comics
10:56whose whole routine is centered around a 10-minute bit about how men always leave the toilet seat up.
11:00What someone really needs to invent is a device that senses when you're about to purchase a
11:05ridiculous product like this and turns on a red light telling you to stop.
11:08Improve your sleep.
11:09Improve his aim.
11:10And never sit on a wet seat again.
11:13Number 34.
11:14Head wedgie.
11:15Head wedgie?
11:16Really?
11:17They couldn't think of anything better to call it?
11:18Don't make riding in the car a pain in the neck.
11:21Give him a wedgie.
11:22A head wedgie.
11:23This is basically a larger neck pillow that instead of fitting around your neck, fits
11:27over the headrest of your seat, allowing you to rest your head without flipping from side
11:31to side.
11:32If we're being honest, this one actually looks kind of useful.
11:35Wedgie is ideal for all of your passengers.
11:37From kids to parents to grandparents, everyone needs a head wedgie.
11:42It's a little bulky so you aren't bringing it on a plane.
11:45But for the car, or maybe even a chair at home, we can see it coming in kind of handy.
11:49But again, head wedgie.
11:50We're not sure we can get past that.
11:52Number 33.
11:53Wax Vac.
11:54We were always told that sticking Q-tips on our ears could be very dangerous.
11:58But no one ever told us not to stick a vacuum in there.
12:01There's a better way.
12:02Introducing Wax Vac.
12:03The safe and effective way to clean and dry your ears.
12:06Still, does that mean it's safe to do it?
12:08Or just that no one ever figured people would even consider sucking wax out of their ears
12:12with a vacuum device?
12:14Well, if it was the latter, they were dead wrong.
12:16Say hello to the Wax Vac ear cleaner.
12:18Wax Vac seems like the perfect solution.
12:20While you can say hello to it, we don't care if they advertise it as using gentle suction.
12:25We are only saying goodbye to this crazy thing.
12:28Number 32.
12:29Fanny Bank.
12:30The fanny bank is a piggy bank in the shape of a bum sticking out of a pair of pants with
12:34the crack for the coins in, where else, the crack of the plastic butt.
12:37Insert a coin and hear the fanny fart.
12:47This one is pretty simple.
12:49The point at which this product goes from awesome as seen on TV item to awful as seen
12:53on TV item is the point at which you no longer find farts to be hilarious.
12:57Because the hilarity of the fart sound is what this product relies on 100%.
13:07Number 31.
13:08Fridge Locker.
13:09What are you to do when people at work are always stealing your lunch?
13:13Simply put your food or drinks into the fridge locker, set the lock to your secret combination,
13:18and now your food is secure wherever you take it.
13:21Well, you could talk to them like adults and politely ask that whoever is doing it please
13:24stop, or you can put your lunch in the fridge locked in a silly plastic cage.
13:28But wait, couldn't they just take the whole cage?
13:30Well, yes, they could.
13:32But according to the commercial, doing so would be fruitless because even an 800-pound grizzly
13:37bear can't break the fridge locker.
13:38Even he's having a hard time getting into the fridge locker.
13:41We guess you better not forget the combination then.
13:44Number 30.
13:45Pajama Jeans.
13:46Pajamas are super comfortable, but you can't wear them in public.
13:49Jeans look good in public, but they aren't that comfy.
13:52Allow us to introduce you to the Reese's of clothing, Pajama Jeans.
13:56With Pajama Jeans, the hot new fashion sensation that fits every figure perfectly.
14:02Just like the aforementioned candy brings together chocolate and peanut butter,
14:05Pajama Jeans bring you all the comfort of pajama bottoms with the stylish look of jeans.
14:09Or at least that's what the infomercial tells us.
14:12Pajama Jeans are so comfortable, you'll wear them every day.
14:15And for more weird wearables, get a load of the wearable towel.
14:19Because why just dry yourself off when you can wear your towel like some kind of terrycloth toga?
14:24The wearable towel is unisex and can be worn in a tunic style.
14:29And in a toga style.
14:32Number 29.
14:33Easy Butter.
14:34You know how annoying it is to open your butter dish,
14:37take some butter with a knife, and spread it on your toast?
14:39Yeah, neither do we.
14:40And yet, that's basically the problem Easy Butter decided to solve with this handheld dispenser.
14:45That's totally awesome.
14:46However, it's not like the thing also spreads the butter for you.
14:51It just drops a pat of butter on your food and then you still have to do the rest.
14:55And that makes it super for sandwiches, perfect for potatoes, great on your greens, and fantastic for fish.
15:02How much easier is that really?
15:05The fact that the product no longer exists seems to imply that it was easy for people to not buy it.
15:11Use the second cutter to cut just about anything from cheese to hot dogs to bananas to cucumbers.
15:17Number 28.
15:18Dock Bottoms A-Spray.
15:20With a name like Dock Bottoms and A-Spray, pronounced A-Spray but easily misread as A-Spray,
15:26you'd think this product would be ripe for a parody.
15:28And it would be if the product wasn't actually deodorant for your butt.
15:32And can be used anywhere, and I mean anywhere on your body.
15:35A-Spray goes where other deodorants can't.
15:38But it isn't just for your butt.
15:40It's also for your armpits, feet, and, we're not kidding, your privates.
15:44Anywhere that can get stinky, just spray the A-Spray and, as they say,
15:48it literally stops odors before they start.
15:51It's that simple.
15:52No bacteria, no stink.
15:54Given what they're selling, we appreciate that the infomercial doesn't take itself too seriously.
15:59But we can't take the product seriously either.
16:01I work hard for a living, I sweat a lot, and I got odors in special places.
16:06And with A-Spray, I don't have to worry about that anymore.
16:08My butt.
16:09Number 27.
16:10Brush Buddy's Singing Toothbrush.
16:12Want to listen to One Direction or Justin Bieber while you brush your teeth?
16:15Just take out your phone, go to your Spotify account, and play the song.
16:19These magical toothbrushes feature songs by One Direction.
16:21What you don't need to do is buy a Brush Buddy's Singing Toothbrush.
16:25However, if it really does make your toothbrushing experience as amazing as it does for the girl in the infomercial,
16:31then we take it all back.
16:33Make your routine more fun with One Direction and other hit artists.
16:37While we're on this dental care kick,
16:38if squeezing toothpaste onto your toothbrush is as harrowing an experience as it is in the Press 2 Paste commercial,
16:44we guess the product would have value.
16:47Otherwise, allow us to ask, why?
16:49Don't waste that paste.
16:51But with Press 2 Paste, there's no more waste.
16:54Number 26.
16:55Talking TP.
16:56The name of this one is a little misleading.
16:59This isn't talking toilet paper, because that would be dumb, right?
17:02No.
17:02This is the toilet paper roll that talks.
17:05Yes, it's a real thing.
17:06Don't look now, but the neighbors can see you.
17:09Just record a message on the roll, and whenever the toilet paper gets pulled, the message will play.
17:13Prank your friend, or as the example on the packaging suggests,
17:17ask your girlfriend to marry you.
17:18We're not here to hand out relationship advice,
17:21but don't ask your girlfriend to marry you via a talking toilet paper roll.
17:26The best thing the roll could say would be to admonish you for having bought the stupid thing in the first place.
17:31Chalky TP makes a great, defining occasion.
17:33We all know how labor-intensive and time-consuming curling your hair is.
17:40Well, not anymore, if the air curler is to be believed.
17:43Now you can twirl a head full of curls in seconds with air curler.
17:47Just stick the big bucket thing to the end of your hair dryer,
17:50put a chunk of your hair in said bucket, and let it rip.
17:52According to the product description, what you should end up with are
17:56soft, tangle-free, long-lasting curls.
17:59Air curler spins your hair like a tornado to dry and curl your hair in just seconds.
18:04However, that doesn't always seem to be the case in real life.
18:07What many women get is kinda wavy hair or maybe scraggly curls.
18:11And be careful, it gets really hot.
18:14And it guarantees beautiful, soft, tangle-free curls that last all day.
18:18Number 24. Dump Dinners
18:21As Timon said in The Lion King, what's in a name?
18:25Well, in this case, everything.
18:28There's nothing wrong with the product itself.
18:30Hi, Kathy Mitchell here with my new Dump Dinner Cookbook.
18:33It's a cookbook filled with easy and nutritious recipes you can make in under 15 minutes.
18:37Who doesn't like that?
18:38But, oh, that name.
18:40Yes, we get it.
18:41They call them Dump Dinners because you just dump in all the ingredients and bake.
18:44Stop slaving over dinner.
18:46Make delicious meals in a flash with Dump Dinners just $10.
18:50But come on, they couldn't come up with a name for the recipes that didn't also bring to mind
18:54where the meals would end up after passing through our intestinal tract?
18:58Do they not own a thesaurus?
19:00There's gotta be at least one or two better words.
19:03And speaking of number two, sorry, we couldn't help it.
19:06You can get Dump Dinners and Dump Cakes for $10.
19:09Number 23. Booty Pop
19:11While it sounds like an NSYNC parody song, Booty Pop is actually underwear with padding.
19:17That bootylicious perky pop that all women want.
19:20Say bye-bye-bye to your flat rear and say hello to your brag-worthy bubble butt in seconds with these transformational panties.
19:27Looks like we found out where all the shoulder pads went when they went out of style and jackets at the end of the 80s.
19:31Get that desired pop with any outfit.
19:33The problem is that while it does seem to work with certain outfits and certain types of clothing,
19:39other times you can see the outline of the padding through the clothes.
19:42And at least according to a few real people who've tried it, it isn't very comfortable either.
19:47I feel like, especially what I'm wearing, it doesn't look very natural.
19:50Number 22. The Broccoli Wad
19:53Wise guys don't carry their money in a wallet.
19:55He carries it around in a wad like this.
19:58We're all familiar with how mafia men use rubber bands from broccoli bunches to hold their money instead of wallets, right?
20:04Well, how would you like to pay for a manufactured version of those bands to hold your money?
20:08Instead of getting one for free off of an actual wad of broccoli.
20:12Yeah, we wouldn't either.
20:13But that didn't stop Johnny Gennaro from creating the Broccoli Wad Money Band and pitching it on Shark Tank back in Season 2.
20:20Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Broccoli Wad.
20:23While he did make a deal on the show, it never actually materialized.
20:27And within a year or so, the Broccoli Wad was swimming with the fishes.
20:31That's four Broccoli Wads today for only $10.
20:35Number 21. The Tush Turner
20:37As seen on TV, items seem to spend a lot of time focused on people's rear ends.
20:42From making them look better to helping them smell better.
20:45But with the Tush Turner, now your butt can turn better?
20:49Introducing the Tush Turner.
20:51The perfectly engineered seat cushion that makes getting in and out of any car easy and pain-free.
20:56Yeah, like, you know how awful it is getting in and out of a car?
20:59Well, stop turning your body to get in and out all by yourself.
21:02And start letting the seat cushion help out a little.
21:04You can take it anywhere you go.
21:06Making every chair an easy chair.
21:08The Tush Turner is a seat cushion that rotates to supposedly make it easier and less strenuous on your body to enter and exit a vehicle.
21:15Honestly, we'd like to tell the people who invented this ridiculous thing to do a different kind of sitting and rotating.
21:20The Tush Turner greatly reduces the stress.
21:23The Tush Turner does the swiveling for you.
21:24Number 20.
21:25Poo Trap.
21:26Introducing Poo Trap.
21:28An amazing new innovation that eliminates the need of picking up after your dog.
21:32Though dog waste might seem like little more than an inconvenience, it can contain bacteria and parasites.
21:39Which, if exposed to the eyes, can result in blindness.
21:42God damn it!
21:43How about cleaning up after your dog?
21:45You mind your own...
21:46Meaning that when you don't pick up after your dog, you expose others to more than just some poop on their shoes.
21:54It's easy to install on your dog and makes your walking experience fun.
21:58Poo Trap is a product with good intentions, but an incredibly bizarre execution.
22:03It's a brightly colored harness you strap onto your dog's rear with a tiny bag attached.
22:07So that when they squat to do their business, the poo will, in theory, go straight into the bag without you having to actually pick it up.
22:14Nice and simple.
22:15Poo Trap is available in eight sizes and three colors.
22:18But unfortunately, it's simply too odd for most people.
22:22And probably dogs as well.
22:23If you think talking toilet paper would be a ridiculous addition to your bathroom,
22:36wait till you hear about buying your very own miniature golf set to put on the floor in front of you.
22:40Now, practice your putting every time you take care of your other business.
22:44Just aim and shoot the ball into the cup.
22:47This is advertised as a way to help you practice your putting,
22:50and uses the same fake green as real golf courses do.
22:53Though, on a real golf course, you probably won't be trying to use the bathroom at the same time.
22:58When you're bored in the bathroom, you rush and that's unhealthy.
23:02But with the potty putter, you'll take the time to play with your putter.
23:06Unfortunately, the potty putter raises more problems than it solves.
23:10Mainly the question of whether you set it up permanently,
23:12or do you only take it out whenever you need to go.
23:15Your potty putter is the perfect gift for the man on the go.
23:19He'll relax and think of you every time he practices putting.
23:23Number 18. Skinny's Instant Arm Lift.
23:26Have sagging arms? We can fix that.
23:28In what is perhaps the most insulting item on this list,
23:31the Instant Arm Lift is used to get rid of unwanted flab
23:35by literally taping the flab to the back of your arm.
23:38Just attach it underneath the back of your arm,
23:40and give it a gentle lift for the illusion of smooth, firm, younger-looking arms.
23:44It's advertised to make, quote,
23:46sagging arms appear tight and firm,
23:48and we couldn't think of a more degrading and useless product.
23:52The tape is also extremely hard to apply,
23:54and is quite painful to take off apparently,
23:56like slowly peeling off a band-aid.
23:58Agonizing, undignified, and hopelessly impractical,
24:01this item ticks all the boxes of a dumb product.
24:06Number 17. GLH-9.
24:08In case you wanted an alternative to our earlier My Secret Hair Enhancer product,
24:12there's this option.
24:13That's great-looking hair formula number 9,
24:16and it's hair in a can.
24:18Ron Popeil is the king of infomercials.
24:21If you were home sick in the 90s,
24:22you can bet your ass you were begging your parents
24:24for a food dehydrator or a pasta maker
24:26the minute they walked in the door.
24:27But the most ridiculous Ronco product was GLH-9.
24:31Think the before and afters would be as effective in HD?
24:34Oh, I started using GLH about four months ago
24:37after my barber told me I'd never grow any more hair.
24:40Hey Emmett, look at me now.
24:42A full head of hair.
24:43Number 16. Fat Magnet.
24:45There's a lot of fat. Look at that.
24:48Eating healthy is something we all want to do,
24:50but unhealthy food just tastes so good.
24:52Well, the Fat Magnet claims to be the perfect solution.
24:55You hover it over your food,
24:57and the excess fat on greasy foods
24:59gets sucked up by magnets or something like that.
25:02It smeared it onto the plate.
25:03It didn't suck it up like it's supposed to.
25:06Truth is, we don't really know how it works,
25:08mainly because it doesn't.
25:10Seeing this product endorsed on The Dr. Oz Show
25:12is just painfully awkward.
25:14Gets rid of all of that grease.
25:16Can you all see that?
25:17And it should be apparent to anyone watching
25:19that it is nothing but a cash grab.
25:21Maybe just buy a salad instead?
25:23Number 15. Hawaii Chair.
25:26And I'm going to get yours started right now.
25:28Oh, jeez, what's happening?
25:29Go.
25:30Whoa.
25:30First?
25:31Wait a minute.
25:33What does this have to do with Hawaii?
25:34If you're stuck in an office all day,
25:36finding the time to work out can be a struggle.
25:39The Hawaii Chair, also known as the Hula Chair,
25:42is intended to kill two birds with one stone.
25:45With the appearance of a regular desk chair,
25:47this invention possesses a rotating seat
25:49that mimics a hula dance.
25:51This is truly the machine that takes the work
25:54out of your workout.
25:56Users can exercise their whole body
25:58without even standing up.
26:00At least that's what the infomercial implies.
26:02As far as fitness equipment goes,
26:04the Hawaii Chair is hardly a substitute
26:06for the treadmill or elliptical.
26:08On top of that, it's too rambunctious
26:10to function in a quiet workplace environment.
26:13Imagine answering the phone or using the computer
26:15while riding a tilt-a-whirl.
26:16It's bound to end badly.
26:19If you can't sit, you can get fit.
26:23The Hawaii Chair.
26:25Number 14. Facial Flex.
26:28This device looks more like it belongs
26:29in a dental clinic than as part of your daily
26:31beauty and fitness regime.
26:33You can do other things.
26:34You can put lotion on your body.
26:36You can make a bed.
26:37You can get dressed.
26:38Just keep flexing.
26:40Advertised as a product that gives you
26:41a natural facelift,
26:43the Facial Flex is almost as odd
26:45as the reactions of the woman
26:46trying it out in the infomercial.
26:48Lisa is a flexor.
26:49She's a user.
26:50And you can see how all of these muscles
26:53and look at her neck.
26:54Do you see how tight her neck is?
26:56And yet, there are reportedly many people
26:58who swear by the Facial Flex's positive results.
27:01I say the apartment's not the only thing
27:02getting a facelift.
27:03A similar device is the Neckline Slimmer,
27:06a very unusual gadget promising
27:08to tighten your jawline,
27:09eliminate your double chin,
27:10and take years off your appearance
27:12by having you repeatedly
27:13push your head against it.
27:15They say beauty is pain,
27:16but this stuff looks like downright torture.
27:20Reflexion.
27:22Number 13.
27:23Rejuvenique.
27:24Younger-looking skin
27:25is only one terrifying mask wear away.
27:28Just get into your silk pajamas,
27:30sit in your favorite fireside chair,
27:32and enjoy facial toning sessions
27:33that send impulses from a 9-volt battery
27:36directly into your 12 facial zones.
27:38And whatever you do,
27:40don't forget your lube.
27:41Does this sound to anyone else
27:43like shock therapy?
27:44Side effects may include redness,
27:46burning, memory loss,
27:47and violent horror film-inspired nightmares.
27:50So give your face a treat.
27:52The sooner you get started,
27:53the sooner you'll be enjoying results
27:54like the ones I've seen.
27:56Number 12.
27:57Kush Support.
27:58Introducing Kush,
28:00the comfortable nighttime companion.
28:02The product is basically
28:03a piece of foam or plastic
28:05that goes in between a woman's breasts
28:07as she sleeps to support them
28:09during the night.
28:09It helps keep Kush in place
28:11even as you roll from side to side.
28:14It's impossible to look at this thing in action
28:15and not laugh in embarrassment
28:17at the sight of it.
28:18If that wasn't bad enough,
28:19a vast number of consumers
28:20complain that it doesn't stay in place
28:22due to the poor,
28:23slippery quality of the material.
28:25Sorry, C-Cuppers,
28:26but you'll have to find relief elsewhere.
28:28Number 11.
28:29Zoomies.
28:30Introducing Zoomies,
28:31the compact, hands-free,
28:33high-power binoculars
28:34you wear like sunglasses.
28:35If your goal is to look absolutely foolish
28:37while you're out in public,
28:39then Zoomies are for you.
28:41Zoomies are hands-free binoculars
28:43that sit on your head
28:44like a pair of glasses,
28:45so you can look at faraway objects
28:46without the annoying hassle
28:48of actually holding a pair of binoculars.
28:50Not only do you look ridiculous wearing them,
28:52but reviews also cite poor, blurry vision
28:55and weak magnification as deal-breakers.
28:58They turn any TV into a big-screen TV.
29:01We can imagine that even avid birdwatchers
29:03passed on these,
29:04and we advise you to do the same.
29:07Zoomies binoculars are so light,
29:08you'll forget you even have them on.
29:10Number 10.
29:11Cammie's Secret.
29:12You love that low-cut top
29:14for going out at night,
29:15but sometimes showing that much cleavage
29:17just isn't right.
29:18This ad gets off to a seriously rocky start
29:21when a boss looks down his employee's top,
29:23but having the narrator make it
29:25the woman's fault is worse.
29:26But for a moment,
29:27let's just pretend this was being marketed
29:29as your run-of-the-mill garment
29:30to be worn under plunging necklines.
29:32There are already so many comfortable,
29:35reasonable options out there.
29:36It's designed to attach quickly and easily
29:38right to your bra strap.
29:40This ad is quick to diss the most popular one,
29:42a camisole,
29:43by dismissing it as uncomfortable.
29:45Okay, but then you can still go with a bondeau
29:48or, you know, a well-fitting camisole.
29:50Other options seem more comfortable
29:52and are undeniably more aesthetically pleasing
29:54than the Cammie Secret.
29:56Call now and get three Cammie Secrets
29:58in white, beige, and black.
30:009. Better Marriage Blanket
30:02Offending molecules are absorbed
30:04before anyone knows they're there.
30:06The fact that this is even on the market
30:08speaks volumes about our culture.
30:11Don't do that!
30:13What am I doing?
30:14Don't fart in the bed!
30:15We're not going to sugarcoat this.
30:17The Better Marriage Blanket
30:18is a comforter
30:19that absorbs your spouse's fart
30:21so that it doesn't stink up the bed.
30:23So whether you or your spouse
30:25suffers from a health issue
30:26or just the occasional disagreeable meal,
30:28you owe it to your marriage
30:30to try the Better Marriage Blanket.
30:32It's even advertised
30:33that the blanket uses the same fabric
30:35quote,
30:36used by the military
30:37to protect against chemical weapons.
30:39Last we checked,
30:40humans farted methane,
30:41not VX.
30:42This probably started as a joke,
30:44but then some executive thought
30:46there was money in it.
30:47So, here we are.
30:48It's the problem in the marriage bed
30:50that no one likes to talk about.
30:52Maybe that's why they call it
30:53Silent But Deadly.
30:55Number 8.
30:56The Euro Club.
30:57This is a trademark patent-pending product
30:59that functions as a self-contained receptacle.
31:02You're on a golf course
31:03having the greatest game of your life
31:05when all of a sudden nature calls.
31:07Fear not!
31:08The Euro Club will resolve
31:10your potty emergency.
31:11Well, it's a potty emergency!
31:14The ads for the Euro Club
31:15promise a quote,
31:16discreet, sanitary way
31:18for your urgent relief.
31:20However, there's nothing discreet
31:22about peeing into a golf club
31:23with a receptacle built into the grip.
31:25It looks like an ordinary golf club
31:27but contains a reservoir
31:28built into the grip
31:29to relieve yourself.
31:30Covering yourself with a towel
31:31isn't going to fool anybody either.
31:33It's also worth pointing out
31:34that public urination
31:35is illegal in most places.
31:37You're better off
31:38seeking out the nearest toilet,
31:39especially if it comes equipped
31:41with a potty putter.
31:42Seriously,
31:43why do inventors
31:43keep associating golf
31:45with the bathroom?
31:46Number 7.
31:47Slob Stopper.
31:48Has this ever happened to you?
31:50Introducing the Slob Stopper.
31:52Slob Stopper.
31:53You feel dirty
31:54just saying it.
31:56Which is ironic
31:57considering it's essentially
31:58a baby-style bib for adults.
32:00The level of incompetence
32:01displayed by the characters
32:02in this ad is,
32:03quite frankly,
32:04astounding.
32:05So dudes,
32:06are you worried
32:06a pretty lady won't date you
32:08after you've spilled a coffee
32:09on your shirt?
32:10Well, if she ever finds out
32:11you wear a Slob Stopper,
32:12let us tell you this.
32:13it will not be the stains
32:15that are keeping you single.
32:16I also have this theory
32:18that it could be a Gumby costume
32:19and potentially a pain.
32:22Number 6.
32:22The Backup.
32:23The patented backup gun rack
32:25keeps your shotgun
32:25at your bedside
32:26and is easily hidden
32:27by blankets and sheets.
32:29The backup is a gun rack
32:30that's meant to house
32:31a gun beside your bed
32:33in order to shoot intruders
32:34without you even having
32:35to leave the comfort
32:36of your mattress.
32:37Not only is this
32:42one of the most puzzling
32:43and useless products ever,
32:45but it also holds
32:46the potential
32:47to be extremely dangerous.
32:49God help the spouse
32:50who sneaks back into the room
32:51from getting a drink.
32:52Terrible in all the wrong ways.
32:54The backup is truly
32:55one of the most perplexing
32:57things we've ever seen.
32:59It's the smartest money
33:00you'll spend in your life.
33:01Number 5.
33:02Long Reach Comfort Wipe.
33:04The first improvement
33:05to toilet paper
33:05as we know it
33:06since the 1880s.
33:08Though as seen on TV items
33:09tend to be bad
33:10across the board.
33:11The worst of the lot
33:13was bound to be found
33:14in the bathroom.
33:15At least there's no
33:15play on words.
33:17The Long Reach Comfort Wipe
33:18lets you know
33:19what it's all about
33:19right from the get-go.
33:21It creates a degree
33:22of separation
33:23between your hands
33:23and the toilet paper
33:24when it comes time to wipe.
33:26While there's no denying
33:27the fact that it could serve
33:28as a great tool
33:29for those with reduced mobility,
33:31the fact that this product
33:32markets itself
33:32as the next
33:33toilet paper innovation,
33:35poised to make
33:35traditional wiping
33:36a thing of the past
33:37undermines any
33:38and all credibility.
33:40Think about it.
33:40Toilet paper is really
33:42archaic and disgusting.
33:43The comfort wipe
33:44is a modern solution.
33:46Number 4.
33:46Perfect Polly.
33:48Grandma, you have a pet?
33:49Honestly,
33:50there's little fun
33:51to be had here.
33:52A motion-activated fake bird,
33:54Polly chirps,
33:55turns its head back and forth
33:57in a jarring,
33:57unnatural movement,
33:58and even moves
33:59its tail feathers
34:00ever so slightly.
34:02Perfect Polly turns
34:03to look at you,
34:04then starts to sing.
34:06If this were being marketed
34:07as a toy for kids,
34:08it would just be
34:09an unremarkable,
34:10slightly boring product.
34:11But look at this commercial.
34:12It's being advertised
34:13as a companion,
34:15as a legitimate stand-in
34:16for a real pet.
34:17Sure, caring for a real animal
34:19can be a lot of work,
34:20especially for the very young
34:21or the very old.
34:23But seeing an entire family
34:24fawn over this plastic bird
34:25is downright unnerving.
34:27Your entire family
34:29will love the fun
34:30you'll have
34:30with Perfect Polly
34:32the singing parakeet.
34:33Number 3,
34:34TV Hat.
34:35Private,
34:36portable,
34:37and hands-free.
34:38For any sci-fi writers
34:39who predicted
34:39a dystopian future
34:41in which TV replaces
34:42social interaction,
34:43TV Hat was exactly
34:44the nightmare
34:45they were worried about.
34:46That hat is dope.
34:48Thanks, Tom.
34:49You mind if I rock
34:50that bad Larry on my dome?
34:52It's a visor
34:52with a very long cap
34:53that you can put
34:54your phone inside,
34:55creating a portable
34:56movie theater
34:57perfect for blocking
34:58out the rest of the world.
34:59My kids would love this.
35:01My husband would love this.
35:03It even includes
35:04a custom lens
35:05to make the display bigger
35:06and is shown
35:07as an alternative
35:07to the expensive
35:08VR gaming systems
35:09currently on the market.
35:11Watch what you want
35:12on your lunch break
35:12only with TV Hat.
35:14While watching things
35:15on your phone hands-free
35:16is a nice idea,
35:18anyone who actually
35:18wears a TV hat
35:19will never live it down.
35:21Number 2,
35:22Shake Weight.
35:23Women are always trying
35:24to avoid the dreaded
35:25Oprah arms
35:26and the Shake Weight
35:27is the revolutionary
35:28product that exercises
35:30your biceps and triceps
35:31while making you look
35:32like a complete jackass.
35:34And it's not just
35:35for ladies,
35:36obviously.
35:37This is Shake Weight
35:38for men
35:39and it's going
35:40to kick
35:41your butt.
35:43That's it.
35:43In just 6 minutes a day,
35:45this little guy

36:21soothing heat.
36:22These are bulky,

36:26of your body
36:26in the hopes
36:27of making you sweat.
36:28They also need
36:29to be plugged in,
36:30meaning that you must
36:31be sitting within
36:325 feet of an outlet,
36:34so probably on the floor.
36:35Another criticism
36:36is that they come
36:37in one size,
36:38so many report
36:39an uncomfortable fit
36:40despite the fact
36:41that they are adjustable.

36:47and just wrap
36:48and relax.
