Dammit! I was gonna buy one of those Popeil pocket fishermen. Now I guess I’m too late!
Does this mean we can look forward to more George Foreman Grill and Girls Gone Wild ads in TV spots formerly held by Ronco?
That home turkey fryer sounds like a winner to me.
My Veg-o-matic and Ginsu knife,
now available on Ebay.
we already have one of those...it’s a big aluminum pot full of peanut oil sitting atop a propane burner...best turkey I’ve ever eaten...
Yeah, if he would actually sell the stuff in a store he would probably do better. I might consider buying one of those roticery chicken cookers. The GLH spray on hair was an all time classic, what was he thinking.
Someone has to post it...
I need a Vegematic!
I need a Pocket Fisherman!
I need a handy appliance
That’ll scramble an egg while it’s still inside its shell!
(Operators are standing by.
How does that make you feel?)

You could even cut a tin can with it,
But you wouldn’t want to!
Mr. Popeil, I’m in trouble.
Need your assistance on the double.
Oh no! Now how am I gonna make
My old vinyl car top look like new?
Mr. Popeil!
Tell me, what am I s’posed to do?
Mr. Popeil!
Mr. Popeil!
(Now how much would you pay?)
But wait, there’s more!

It’s actually kind of neat that many of these products sold on infomercials at three in the morning actually work as described, and usually are pretty good.
I had a running joke with an ex-girlfriend. When channel surfing, and coming across an infomercial for Ronco Showtime Rotisserie, the channel couldn’t be changed until the phrase “Set it and forget it” was heard.
ROFLMAO!!!
I actually wanted to try one of those but was not sure how to get the hickory chunks in the thing.
They work very well.
Hey. I got your Popeil Pocket Pool player right here!
You’re not supposed to play with that thing!
You’ll go blind doing that. ;o)
I don’t have any hair on my palms... yet...
