Due to the suddenly popularity of the video clip from the Hawaii Chair infomercial after being shown on The Ellen Degeneres Show, I’ve decided to upload yet another video from this important infomercial.
Watch how people can workout with the Hawaii Chair in all sorts of situations:
I really appreciate how much effort that woman at the end puts into trying to actually look relaxed while reading in the Hawaii Chair!
Back in October I uploaded an absurd clip from the Hawaii Chair infomercial that showed people using the exercise chair while sitting at their desks at the office. Read my earlier post about the infomercial: No, The Hawaii Chair is Not Dumb at All.
Two weeks ago the VH1 show Best Week Ever showed this Hawaii Chair video and Paul Scheer, who’s one of the guys on Best Week Ever, posted the video on his blog. Soon several blogs started posting the video.
Now Ellen Degeneres has shown the video on her program and even did a very funny in-studio demo showing just how practical it is to use the Hawaii Chair at work. Check it out:
I wonder if an angry mob is now going to gather outside of Ellen’s studios demanding she stop joking about such an important device as The Hawaii Chair.
I’ve added a video clip from the current Dual Action Cleanse infomercial. Go to the bottom of my review of the Dual Action Cleanse 2 infomercial to see it.
In this delightful segment, Dr James Chappell asks the burning question, “Do I have to examine my stool to know that the program is working?” Klee answers that you don’t—but he’s not going to let you squeamish people off the hook that easily because they then show us all a picture of someone else’s stool!

The infomercials for ExtenZe male enhancement pills have long been a source of laughs. This is true both for the original version of the ExtenZe infomercial with Ron Jeremy and the new ExtenZe infomercial with host Bridgetta Tomarchio and the sluts on the couch.
But in those cases the humor comes from people laughing at the awkward attempts to convince men to buy pills to make their wangs bigger.
Well it seems that the makers of ExtenZe have taken a new approach with their latest TV commercial. Instead of doing something that was unintentionally funny, they decided to create something that is intentionally funny. Perhaps they were inspired the by “Enzyte Bob” ads of their competitors.
Click here to watch the new ExtenZe commercial for yourself.
The ad starts out with cavemen around a fire and the voiceover declaring, “Through the centuries man has searched for a way to increase that certain part of the male body.”
We then see them tie a rock to a man’s index finger.
The effort turns out to be both futile and painful.
The cavewomen then laugh out loud at him—though it’s not clear if they are laughing at his failure, his pain, or just the fact that he has a small wiener in the first place.
The next scene is set in the Victorian era. A scientist tries to use a metal ball and chain to lengthen a man’s member.
The effort is once again as useless as it is painful.
This results in the scientist thoughtfully stroking his fake beard.
One question I have is how a man living in the prim and prudish Victorian era would even know the size of his manhood was inadequate? Most likely he frequented prostitutes who mocked his teeny weeny. That’s when he turned to an eminent scientist for some help. Of course when that didn’t work and the whores kept on laughing at him he did the only logical thing and became Jack the Ripper.
There is one interesting thing both these scenes share in common: the weights are attached to the wrong body part. In the first one the rock is tied to the caveman’s finger; in the second the chain is merely placed in the gentleman’s hand. There are several possible explanations for this:
The final scene takes place in the present day and shows a skittish man putting an orange into a vacuum pump.
Some hot blonde then hands the man a box of ExtenZe, which puts a goofy grin on his face.
The other thing they are doing differently is they’re offering a free sample of Extenze pills. Sure, guys may not be willing to pay money to make their Johnsons bigger—but, hey, if they can get a free sample in the mail…
I wrote earlier about how Klee Irwin, best known for his Dual Action Cleanse colon cleanser infomercials, had a radio infomercial for Libido-Max, a sexual enhancement capsule. I included a fervent prayer that Klee would bring his Libido-Max infomercial to the television airwaves.
It looks like my prayer has been answered. I recently received the following email from Ridiculous Infomercial Review reader Melanie:
Hey Paul, it seems the infomercial gods have been listening as of late and in my 3 am insomniac haze, I stumbled upon the Klee Irwin Libido-Max infomercial. And yes, it is as cringeworthy and horrific as an infomercial junkie could wish for. It features Klee being interviewed by a rubenesque brunette (I guess Dr. James Chappell wasn’t sexy enough), and neither hold back much about all things sex in the morning, orgasms, and too much more greatness I don’t remember. Anyways, I hope you get the chance to see this thing, because it delivers.
I am of course thrilled at this news! I haven’t yet seen the TV version of Klee’s Libido-Max infomercial but you can be sure I’ll be working my TiVo overtime to try to see it. If any of you happen to catch it, please either post the time and channel in the comments of this post, or send me an email.
You women may especially want to check it out. I know so many of you feel left out when watching the ExtenZe infomercial. But Libido-Max comes in both men’s and women’s formulas. So rest assured that Klee Irwin wants you ladies to get your freak on too!
