Were you starting to think the human race might NOT be a plague on this earth? Wrong.
This accurately portrays every infomercial there is.
Only for the punkest of punks. The Ramones could never get to this level because this was just too much punk for them!
And by that I mean you should definitely watch this infomercial for a South African band’s new album.
Possibly the best commercial the store has churned out since 1998’s “Performance Fleece” jingle that somehow still gets stuck in my head.
Then again, it’s 2012. We’re all gonna die anyway, so enjoy yourself while you can.
Do you have tired, stressed-out feet? Just toss a pair of “Hot Booties” into the microwave and viola! You now look like a sucker dressed in brightly-colored, oversized slippers. Congrats. (via adweek.com)

I’m not sure which is worse, the name of the product or the ass of a pitchman selling it. Watch Video ›
The Snazzy way to catch up on your sleep when you are away from home. Snazzy Napper is easy to use and easy to carry. You gotta love Snazzy! Watch Video ›
Master Chief has fallen on hard times and it’s time for you to support him. By buying his music. Here is a massive collection of all the best of Master Chief Sings, which, suspiciously seems like a Phil Collins rip-off. View Media ›
A depressing collection of scenes from life before you ordered that amazing product from that infomercial. Life can be so tough and so monochromatic sometimes. Watch Video ›
Sick of those boring videos? Need something to freshen up your drab weekend? Well, have we got the video mashup for you! Everything is Terrible! does it again with a creation featuring all the “befores” of infomercials. View Media ›

I guarantee you will find at least a couple of these 41 characters in every infomercial. It’s like mandatory. View List ›
Here’s the infomercial for a big blue colon-shaped shower loofah thing. Hmm, the fat guy in the shower isn’t really selling me on this, but that foot scrubber thing looks pretty amazing. Watch Video ›
Got extra elderly relatives on your hands? No problem! Cash ‘em in! It’s not like your Great Aunt Evelyn ever sent you a birthday card with more than $10 in it, anyway. Now where are those XXL garbage bags hiding? Watch Video ›
A metallic, one-size-fits-all diet suit from the good people of the 1980s. Pair with Slender Wine for a no-fail weight loss plan. Watch Video ›
I’m still not convinced that this infomercial isn’t high quality performance art. It’s like an Entendre Contest for kitchen products. “The reason you’re going to slap away everyday is because it’s so easy to clean.” If only. Watch Video ›

Admittedly, I’m obsessed with totally bonkers diet guru-turned-video blogger Susan Powter, but this video of her praising the joys of an organic pear while essentially giving it some crazy mouth love brings me an unhealthy amount of glee. Looks like she traded “stopping the insanity” for “embracing lots and lots of insanity” (to our sheer delight, of course). Watch Video ›

The gang’s all here, from Susan “Stop The Insanity” Powter to Tony Little to Ron Popeil. But somehow they failed to include one of our all-time faves: The Psychic Friends Network. (Seriously, Dionne Warwick in sunglasses shilling for psychics? It doesn’t get better.)
Barack Obama aired this half-hour video on almost every major network tonight. Watch Video ›
Television infomercial for junky 9/11 $20 commemorative. OK, so in case nobody noticed, it’s Liberian legal tender we’re talking about here. They gloss over that tidbit in their description like it’s no big deal. Let’s see, so if the exchange rate is $0.016 US to every Liberian dollar, that makes this thing actually worth a wopping $0.32! Of course that says nothing of the thing’s tasteful aesthetic. Read More ›
