11 Amazing Commercials for Unnecessary Products

Do you ever find yourself distracted by infomercials? Have you ever been distracted by one, while waiting for the next show to start? Has 15 minutes gone by before you realize you've been watching Sofia Vergara use the Coffee Ninja?



This list is for you.


1. Abenhancer - Flab to Fab

 


I'd say this could make it on a comedy sketch show, if only it was slightly more exaggerated. It advises America to not worry about what they eat, putting a red line through a clip of vegetables on a chopping board. Grease is better! I agree. But for tastebuds, not abs or your heart and arteries. The before and after pictures really help make their case, although I'm not sure how it changes skin tone and arm muscles too.



2. Potty Putter

This is perfect for the office! It is so realistic in comparison to actual golf! Who wouldn't want to "Play with [their] putter as [they] potty?"


3. Booty Pillow


It upsets me that she'd rather be uncomfortable or in pain, to avoid disrupting her boyfriend. But this is hilarious.


4. UroClub


How is relieving yourself into a tube, sanitary? Do you just pop the lid back on and use it to golf? Do you take it home and wash it out, like a canteen?

Either way, you're facing the bushes. Everyone knows what you're doing.


5. PooTrap


How does this make your walking experience fun, as opposed to having your dog poo on a surface? Sure it's convenient, but for who? I bet dogs would like to see this tested on humans first.

I would not want to see that infomercial.


6. Doc Bottoms Aspray AllOver Body Deodorant


I suppose this product--if it even works--could be useful to anyone camping, or without running water. It made this list for the commentary--"Pungent Pits!" and dramatic acting.


7. The Pocket Chair


Just think, this wouldn't have been invented if someone took more than one trip carrying chairs....Or if anyone helped.



8. EZ Cracker


Infomercials make everyone look pathetic.



9. These Products



See what I mean? This is a compilation of infomercial fails, arranged as if it all happened within the course of a day. Oh, the horror!



10. Telesteps 12 1/2 Aluminum Telescoping Ladder


Why are there ladders near stairs, and on floors QVC claims are slippery?

"He's moving, he's ok."


11. Music Vest


I have no qualms with this one.


There were plenty of infomercials that I expected to fit this list, but didn't. After watching so many, I started to get distracted by some products I wanted to buy--like that container that has a vegetable cutter built into it's lid. Luckily, I know I will be able to find any of these inventions in Walgreens, in case I decide one of them is more than just a useless impulse buy.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
