Sham Wow Guy Strikes Again

Here we go again. I just saw a commericial for the Slap Chop, a kitchen tool that is similar to Magic Bullet but without electric power. You put the food under the chopping blades and you just slap the top. Easy as that. Check out the video.

Have we really gotten that lazy? “I don’t want to take an extra two minutes to chop onions.” This Vince guy (former Scientologist) is getting increasingly more annoying. Will you please sell yourself a muzzle? And what’s with that picture? It wouldn’t suprise me to see you on To Catch A Predator within the next month or so.

$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.
