Every Infomercial "Doing It Wrong" Moment In One Epic Compilation (VIDEO)


First Posted: 06/22/10 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 05:15 PM ET

If you've seen any infomercial ever, you know that they all follow the same script: idiot looks like they've got a grasp on life, idiot does something wrong, idiot is saved by useless product. Boom, product is available for a low low price of too much money to be spend on nothing. But clearly the best part is the "doing it wrong" segment, where the actor looks quite foolish for doing something the "old way." Well, this compilation throws 'em all into one glorious video. Needless to say, it's fantastic. (via BWE)

I loved this. Me and my husband get a kick out of these informercials that makes people look incompetent doing the simplest of tasks.

I was totally waiting for the commercial for that machine that helps you do crunches, where the fat guy who has trouble doing crunches looks like Newt Gingrich.

I love informercials. The "Too incompentent to operate a blanket" principle!

My favorite is the "Doggie Steps" one... the dog jumping into the edge of the bed. Puppy fail! XD
