Forever Lazy: Video Review


Looks like the Forever Lazy is still kickin. When I first saw this infomercial, my initial reaction to this spot was, "You would never catch me out in public in that thing!" Though, my second reaction was, "But it looks sooo warm and cozy!" Visions of warm fires, freshly baked cookies, and cinnamon hot cocoa danced through my head. And while I would die before going outside in it and am appalled that they think I would ever make use of that ridiculous buttflap, I am extremely tempted to get my hands on my own Forever Lazy as the temperature continues to drop. Do it for the cookies people. For the cookies.

P.S. Also, the "while dad does what he does best" line at 0:53?? I don't know about you, but the men in my life never fall asleep during the big game.

Change In the Air

While this blog has been a little inactive recently, that is about to change.

The look has changed.

The blog author has changed. (Hi! I'm Rebecca!)

AND, the content is going to change... a bit. While we will still review our favorite DRTV spots, I'm also going to start reviewing the products themselves. I've been testing out some of the most popular As Seen on TV products and can't wait to tell you which ones are destined for greatness and which ones are destined for the garbage.

This should be fun!

The Trendy Top

Just say no to muffin tops everywhere with the Trendy Top. Because one and a half tops are better than one, or two for that matter, now you'll always look oh so fashionably layered with the Trendy Top. And you'll sleep easy at night knowing you'll never have to fear bended and sitting again!

Sell On TV


You all know I'm a big fan of finding the best and worst of As Seen On TV spots. From the bad acting to the "Oh that's actually a really good idea" products, I welcome them all. And there is never a shortage of entertaining commercials.  It seems like in this economy people are more encouraged than ever to come up with the next big idea. But once you've come up with the big idea, where do you go next? Sell On TV by Jon LaClare may be just the thing you need to understand how the process works. From concepting and research, to how to hit it big and make a profit, this book is the guide you're looking for. So go check out Sell On TV and keep those fabulous products but even more fabulous infomercials coming!

Vince Offer and the Schticky

Well it looks like Vince Offer is back. And things are about to get a little Schticky. Do you think the ShamWow guy only aligns himself with successful products, or do you think they are successful because he teams up with them?  ShamWow and the Slap Chop were old, stale versions of shammy towels and food choppers yet he somehow brought them back to life in a HUGE way! The Sticky Wicky came out and was a flop, but with Vince on its side, The Schticky may be a huge success. And this infomercial also succesfully makes light of Vince's infamous mug shot. He looks his best in this one, which if good since his last one wasn't so pretty.
