Pump Up the Dr Ho Neck Comforter
August 10th, 2009 Paul Lucas
Do you long for the sleek elegant look of a giraffe? Have you ever seen the neck rings worn by members of primate tribes and thought, “That sure does look relaxing!”
If so, then Dr. Michael Ho has the product for you. The Dr-Ho’s Neck Comforter is an inflatable device you wrap around your collar and inflate with air to stretch out your neck muscles.
This innovation comes from the same medical entrepreneur who gave us the Dr. Ho Muscle Massager. This infomercial isn’t nearly as interesting as his previous one, but the Neck Comforter is an excellent fashion accessory that will go great with your Snuggie.
Here is the intro to the infomercial:
And here Dr. Ho performs a classic demo on a bowling ball. Then hostess Donna Ho asks him, “Will my head pop off?”
OK, I have heard more than my share of absurd rhetorical questions on infomercials, but “Will my head pop off?” is the hands-down, head’s down, winner. It’s a question I doubt anyone in the audience was wondering…

I believe Dr. Ho also sold a colon cleansing product called “Dr. Ho’s Ab-Trimmer”. I saw part of an infomercial for it on a Sunday roughly one and a half years ago but never noticed it again and slowly forgot about him until now. Maybe the competition from Klee Irwin was just too tough.
