Here’s a nostalgic tribute to the of the to ten worst infomercial gadgets of all times. Come on, you have to admit they’re kind of entertaining…That is if your in a half asleep, can’t-find-the-remote, nothing-else-on-tv-at-2am sort of way.

Tony Little Gazelle

Let's see you swing that pony tail Tony!

Who can forget Tony Little and his crew gazelling their way back and forth on this unusual looking contraption. I think I was a little bit too distracted by the image of Tony Little’s ponytail bouncing around. What about the duo gazelling? I think it was a bit too sexually suggestive to be a fitness infomercial.

Extenze

Extenze sex talk show

This infomercial holds a special place in my heart. It’s the ExtenZe male enhancement product. If you don’t know what that means, the infomercial is helpful enough to say that it enhances “a certain part of the male body.” And if you still don’t know what that means, the infomercial is helpful enough to say that it’s “you know, male enhancement?” ExtenZe tries to explain things in a subtle way.

Slender Shaper

A Hello Kitty Slender Shaper..how stylish!

The Slender Shaper is (and I quote): “A unique oscillating system that helps ‘melt’ away unwanted fat”. Notice how well it vibrates the fat away on that ladies butt?

Ronco Portable Smokeless Ashtray
He’s not inconsiderate. He knows his cigar smoke irritates his family. And it smells bad too! It’s got this cool feature where it actually sticks to your dashboard and doesn’t move around as you drive. Neato!

Nads Hair Remover
The Nads infomercial is always referring to the fact that it was created in Australia. You’ve got to admire the quirkiness of those Down Under inventors. Instead of pioneering say, new energy sources, they seem consumed by body hair issues. Like how to remove it from inappropriate places and how to spray it on others, like the talc on/spray on hair which is another Aussie invention.

Mr. Microphone

Mr Microphone is great for parties!

Before karaoke became a fad all across America, what did we do for entertainment? Well there was Mr Microphone of course. Who else could sell over one million units of such an ridiculous gadget?

Three Zero Edge Trimmer
A thorough explanation is needed on this infomercial because it’s a highly technical hair trimmer.

Talc on Hair?

Ahhh yesss! Instant hair!

Looks like a variation of the spray on hair product. The upside: Works as advertised, but only if you have very low expectations. The Downside: Get found out and you might as well have written loser on your forehead.

Hawaii Chair

We don’t really know what else to say about the Hawaii Chair. Watching people fidget suggestively on what looks like an office desk chair makes us uncomfortable for some reason. Maybe it’s the way they’re pretending there’s nothing weird going on?

Tiddy Bear

Hey look how cool we look with our Tiddy Bears.

For artistic value, this has to be one of the best infomercials — ever! Tired of seat belts digging in? Then maybe the Tiddy Bear is just for you!
