Mr. T Hosts the Flavor Wave Oven Turbo Infomercial (I am NOT Making This Up!)

I recently received an email from Ridiculous Infomercial Review reader Joren tipping me off that Mr. T, star of the 1980s TV show The A-Team, was hosting an infomercial. Frankly, I thought he was just making it up, but after a Web search I found out it is absolutely true.

Mr. T appears in the infomercial for Flavor Wave Oven Turbo. I have never seen this infomercial on TV but I did find this clip online:

I guess Mr. T agreed to do an infomercial because he didn’t think his persona had become cheesy enough already. The lines “And of course it had to be low fat” and “I pity the fool that keeps Mr. T waiting” are just priceless. I can’t wait to see the entire Mr. T Flavor Wave Oven Turbo infomercial for myself!

For those of you who just can get enough Mr. T, here he is performing the song “Treat Your Mother Right” from his excellent motivational video Be Somebody or Be Somebody’s Fool:

  • Wasn’t this originally done by some guy named Dave Dornbush from American Harvest? The part I remember the most was that he was talking about losing weight with it while weight slightly less than Jabba The Hut.

  • Mother, there is no other. Great video.. made my day (especially since they are only showing skincare and haircare, or religious infomercials these days in LA television).

  • OH no! It is sad to see the T doing this sort of work, but its nice to see him back in chains.

  • My husband and I just saw this infomercial over the weekend. I hope that you get to see it. It is the best thing we’ve seen. Towards the end Mr. T says “enough of this jibber-jabber” as well as “I pity the fool who tries to cook that frozen meal” and “I love it when a plan comes together”. All that combined with the host being super perky and saying “Mr. T” about a thousand times makes this the funniest infomercial ever.

  • I knew T was hitting bottom when he appeared in those wacky ads for Lipton’s “Sizzle and Stir” where he played Florence Henderson’s husband.

    I remember he went on the Howard Stern (radio) show (my second Howard Stern reference in two posts) around that time, and he wouldn’t shut up about it. Stern is trying to ask him stuff and he just keeps bellowing “SIZZLE AND STIR, HOWARD! SIZZLE AND STIR!!” Oh, that Larry Tero.

  • YOU ALL have MISSED the point!! Does the oven do as it says, is it a healthy way to cook?
    If so, I say Right on to Mr. T and I bet not one of you would turn down the chance to do the infomercial….do something helpful and positive with your time….TEST the product m don’t pick apart the person!

  • As to Mikeey’s question about the video with the break dancing kid. That is in fact from “Mr. T’s Be Somebody or Be Somebody’s Fool”, which was mentioned in the post. It can be watched and downloaded on google video.

  • I’m watching it as I typed. You should watch the beginning of the infomercial. He knocks down a door to enter the studio “kitchen”.

    Classic!

  • I find the infomercial rather amusing and that’s what Mr. T is all about. Amusing American Hero. Cheesey commercial or not the product is wonderful and does everything they say. Get a life people.

  • Well, I think I’ll like the Mr. T Turbo Oven better than the George Foreman Grill. I ‘re-gifted’ a Foreman Grill to the company Christmas party.

  • I am watching thos now…so funny and degrading, that thing is a piece of garbage or everyone would have one, check the grill marks onthe fish, its all doctored up, total gimmick, use a grill, dont take the fast way out to feed your family…regardless if it works or not, 120 bucks and i bet you leave it in your pantry in a week…
