11 Amazing Commercials for Unnecessary Products

Do you ever find yourself distracted by infomercials? Have you ever been distracted by one, while waiting for the next show to start? Has 15 minutes gone by before you realize you've been watching Sofia Vergara use the Coffee Ninja?



This list is for you.


1. Abenhancer - Flab to Fab



I'd say this could make it on a comedy sketch show, if only it was slightly more exaggerated. It advises America to not worry about what they eat, putting a red line through a clip of vegetables on a chopping board. Grease is better! I agree. But for tastebuds, not abs or your heart and arteries. The before and after pictures really help make their case, although I'm not sure how it changes skin tone and arm muscles too.



2. Potty Putter

This is perfect for the office! It is so realistic in comparison to actual golf! Who wouldn't want to "Play with [their] putter as [they] potty?"


3. Booty Pillow


It upsets me that she'd rather be uncomfortable or in pain, to avoid disrupting her boyfriend. But this is hilarious.


4. UroClub


How is relieving yourself into a tube, sanitary? Do you just pop the lid back on and use it to golf? Do you take it home and wash it out, like a canteen?

Either way, you're facing the bushes. Everyone knows what you're doing.


5. PooTrap


How does this make your walking experience fun, as opposed to having your dog poo on a surface? Sure it's convenient, but for who? I bet dogs would like to see this tested on humans first.

I would not want to see that infomercial.


6. Doc Bottoms Aspray AllOver Body Deodorant


I suppose this product--if it even works--could be useful to anyone camping, or without running water. It made this list for the commentary--"Pungent Pits!" and dramatic acting.


7. The Pocket Chair


Just think, this wouldn't have been invented if someone took more than one trip carrying chairs....Or if anyone helped.



8. EZ Cracker


Infomercials make everyone look pathetic.



9. These Products



See what I mean? This is a compilation of infomercial fails, arranged as if it all happened within the course of a day. Oh, the horror!



10. Telesteps 12 1/2 Aluminum Telescoping Ladder


Why are there ladders near stairs, and on floors QVC claims are slippery?

"He's moving, he's ok."


11. Music Vest


I have no qualms with this one.


There were plenty of infomercials that I expected to fit this list, but didn't. After watching so many, I started to get distracted by some products I wanted to buy--like that container that has a vegetable cutter built into it's lid. Luckily, I know I will be able to find any of these inventions in Walgreens, in case I decide one of them is more than just a useless impulse buy.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

Sister | Brother Style - Word Press

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
