Nicely played HP, for choosing not to put on the Shake weight for Women infomercia­l.
I'm sure you guys saw all the jokes coming a mile away.

I mean, the pink tank top girl alone deserves her own entry.

Pink tank top girl is definitely in on the joke:-

I actually used a shake weight and the workout is awesome. But I couldn't buy the thing because it just didn't feel right.

I agree totally. I was very surprised afterwards­.

I woke up to that informerci­al a few weeks ago...I thought it had to have been Saturday Night Live.

Even Saturday Night Live themselves couldn't believe it wasn't one of their own parody skits, when they first saw it.

So they took it to its logical end.....

Dang, in that case I don't see why men don't have steel buns from jump street with all the hand motions they have since puberty.

"The Shake Weight"

Ken Mehlman's favorite late night infomercia­l.

The shake weight, like pleasuring another man, though some how gayer.

Looks like he is doing a really good hand job.

Anybody who orders that "Shake Weight" should continue that motion until it arrives.

Order the Male Shake Weight now and get a free facial.
And the first to order will get a pearl necklace.
