$19.95… But Wait!

Last night I found myself watching the annoying Sham Wow! guy on TV. He is unbearable. Even through all my anger, I did find a few ‘inconsistancies’ in the commercial.

First, at :38, notice how when he pours the soda (or pop where I’m from) into the carpet, it seeps out the bottom. That’s quite a mess! Scene cuts to a new piece of carpet where it’s not longer soaking out of the carpet. He even says, “Let’s do this in real-time!” Too bad you cleaned it up between takes!!!

Secondly, at 1:25, there is a clear cut of audio when he puts the Sham Wow in front of his face. Listen closely, you’ll catch it. The most annoying part to every infomercial is at the end.

BUT WAIT… if you order within the next five minutes, we’ll double you’re order FOR FREE! That’s a $19.95 offer for nothing!

Is anyone really believing that? Is there someone that is saying, “Bill, get off that phone. We only have four minutes left to order those towel things”?

Either way, I’ll stick to my soft cotton towels. Can you imagine a bathrobe of Sham Wow? It’s almost as bad as a Snuggie.
