Ridiculous Infomercial Review Blog

I never thought any product could beat Nad’s in coming up with a name that makes everyone think of a laughably inappropriate body part, but apparently we have a winner.

The product is called Tiddy Bear. Tiddy Bear is a piece of fabric that resembles a small teddy bear that people are supposed to attach to their seat belts to protect their skin from being irritated by the strap. (Is that really a big problem for a lot of people?)

I managed to miss this infomercial on TV, but fortunately some wise soul managed to put it online:

Were the creators of this product so clueless that they didn’t realize that everyone would think the name of the product was really “Titty Bear” (especially since a woman’s breast, aka titty, is an appropriate position to place it)? Or did they think it was some sort of in-joke that most people wouldn’t get—when in fact everyone gets it.

According to Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged, “Tiddy” is actually a word, chiefly British, defined as “Tiny, Trivial.” I was born and raised in the U.S. and I have never encounterd the word “tiddy” before in my life until I looked it up in reponse to the Tiddy Bear infomercial. (The word “titty,” on the other hand I have heard on numerous occasions.) Is “tiddy” in common, current usage in the UK? This may be an unfortunate case of a non-native English speaker trying to come up with a product name using a dictionary.

At first the video looks like it’s some sort of parody, but as the commercial progress it looks more like it’s the real thing. The website mentioned on the ad www.tiddybear.tv is down at the moment, but I called the 800 number on the ad and it’s for real!

Okay you Magic Bullet freaks (and I know you’re out there). By popular demand, the Ridiculous Infomercial Review finally takes on the infomercial for everyone’s favorite “personal, versatile countertop magician”—the Magic Bullet.

This is your invitation to the hung-over aftermath of Mick and Mimi’s “barbecue.” So pull up a stool beside Berman, try to avoid Hazel’s cigarette ash, and join the drunken yuppie party-goers as they watch Mick and Mimi perform “Magic Bullet fast magic.”

Check it out: Magic Bullet

I shudder to think of all the irate, semi-literate emails I’m going to get from clueless and humorless people because of this Magic Bullet review:

“i love using my magic bullet and I’m not a drunk or a hooker!!!!”

I’ll try to put up some video clips of the Magic Bullet infomercial soon.

I found a great video clip from the Almighty Cleanse colon cleanser infomercial online. I’ve added the video to the bottom of my Almighty Cleanse infomercial review page.

In this video, Danny Vierra discusses how “blood-sucking parasites” are freely crawling in and out of your bunghole (or “cave” as he euphemistically refers to it). Danny even relates his own experience with these cute little pets.

Please believe me when I tell you that I really didn’t want to write any more about Klee Irwin, star of the Dual Action Cleanse infomercial. But then on Saturday I just happened to turn on my radio and well…Let me say this: For a person who writes about things that are weird, odd, and laugh-out-loud funny on infomercials, Mr. Klee Irwin is the gift that keeps on giving.

Klee Irwin’s latest radio infomercial is for a product called Libido-Max, which is an herbal “soft gel” that is supposed to stimulate the sex drives of men and women.

If you thought Klee talking about bowel movements and constipation was gross, just wait until you hear him discussing erections, orgasms, and lubrication!

Klee’s previous radio infomercials for Dual Action Cleanse and his blood sugar/diabetes product eventually made their way to TV, which leaves open the tantalizing possibility that we will someday soon be blessed with a TV infomercial for Libido-Max. So watch out ExtenZe and Alzare: Klee’s in town and he’s kickin’ butt and takin’ names.

I recorded some audio from the Libido-Max radio infomercial. So play this clip, close your eyes, and imagine these words coming out of the mouth of Klee Irwin:

Excuse me while I kneel…

Lord,

Please, Oh Please, persuade Klee Irwin to take his infomercial for Libido-Max to television.

Amen

I’ve uploaded a video clip to my review of the Nad’s infomercial. Go to the bottom of the page to play the video.

In this scene, bearded lady Mary Ann Roth gets a personal visit from Sue Ismiel, who slathers on the green goo and strips Mary Ann of her distinctive facial hair.
