Doing some of my Youtubing I ran across this... it's apparently a real product (or at least the website makes it look like you can order them). The "commercial" made me laugh though... enjoy.
So I was sitting here bored and it occured to me that a couple weekends ago Vince, Shade' and I saw a hilarious commercial for the Slap Chop on MTV in which someone laid a beat down and "remixed" the infomercial. No idea why this just popped into my head, but it did, so I went and found it to share with you guys:
So apparently there are parodies of it, too (not surprisingly):
OK, I'm doing one of my youtube randumb viewing sessions now... check out the ShamWow song:
Check out the cameo's in this JamWow Remix, simply awesome:
OK, I'd better stop before I waste any more time (ine or yours)....
The Shake Weight may be the funniest workout aid ever invented. Seriously. The thighmaster has NOTHING on this... watch the video in the following link and you'll understand.
My problem with it is that I see no point in spending then $20 (+ S&H) when you can get the same workout for free and make us (your boys) happy at the same time.... you get a work out and strong upper bodies and in the end we both get happy endings! :)
OK, I'm sure I'm not the only person who's seen this, but it has to be shared. Mr. T has an infomercial for a cooking machine called the FlavorWave Oven. In a shocking turn, he's turned his gold chains in for an apron. You read that right: an apron. On Mr. T. Do you think B.A. Baracus would have ever worn an apron? HELL NO. Unless Hanniball stuck him with a needle to get him on a plane and then put an apron on him... and if they did that I pity the fool who he sees first when we wakes up. Anyway, Check it out:
How awesome/pathetic/sad/sweet is that? How about his entrance? He kicked down a door amid a cloud of dust (and damn near toppled over)! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Not even a prop door can stand between Mr. T and some good grub! I gotta get one! And fast! And not only does it bake flavor into food, you can actually BAKE with it! I'd like to see someone make a muffin with a George Forman grill... take THAT George.
I kept hoping that at some point he'd go all Clubber Lang and challenge George Forman to some sort of fight or challenge. "My prediction? Pain!"
I'm not mad at him for trying to make money - I'm sure his Rocky III and A-Team royalties aren't what they used to be, but did he have to try so hard to blatently ride on the coattails of Big George? And with such an inferior product? Seriously - just look at that thing - it's huge and basically it reminds of of those Easy Bake Ovens that cook with a regular lightbulb that were so popular with girls and aspiring Emirrils when I was a kid... And take a look in the background... I've heard of product placement, but this infomercial took that notion to a whole new level - look how many FlavorWaves riddle the shelves... I guess they've got to have somewhere to put them when no one orders them, huh?
So I'm sitting at my desk when I notice a link on the msn webpage that catches my eye. "12 Workplace Phrases You Probably Don't Know, But Should" - hmmm... interesting, I need to know this information, I'd better click the link: Have a look for yourself:
As I'm reading the "must know phrases" it hit me just how ridiculous they all are. It also hit me that there is a lot of covert racism strewn throughout these corporate buzz words. All of these phrases/buzz words are guilty, but I'll just point out a few of the more obvious ones here:
Drink the Kool-Aid I feel that this statement is blatantly racist. I bet it's "red" flavored Kool-Aid too, which is definitely racist. Or maybe grape. Either way, it's wrong. Why isn't it "Drink the Tang"? You wanna know why? It's because only white people drink Tang. Anyway, I have no idea why drinking Kool-Aid correlates to following blindly or being brainwashed... I think it goes back to the slave mentality.
I'm no movie critic, but I watch a lot of them and I think I have a pretty good idea of what's good (Napoleon Dynamite and Talladega Nights spring immediately to mind) and what sucks (It's Pat, The Movie - I never saw this, but I can guarantee it sucks). I know what's funny and what's not, trust me. I'm not going to go into any spoilers, or ruin anything, but I am going to tell you that if you've read anything on this website and it's made you laugh or even crack a smile, then you owe it to yourself to go and see this movie. It's right up your alley.
The Muskoxen and the MSO's, sans MSO Jess, converged on a theater in Columbia, MD today for a group viewing of this movie (and to celebrate my birthday), and I think I speak for the group when I give it the official Muskoxen stamp of approval. Whatever that may be.
Anyway, go see this movie. Now. Seriously, stop reading and go already. You won't regret it. And make sure to stay through the credits... :) Why are you still reading - get to a theater.
