This is my new favorite infomercial

Posted by: on: March 8, 2009

I love infomercials. The Shamwow guy cracks me up every time, and you can’t help but love the family jumping up and down in their Snuggies at the ball game. But, I think this one is my new favorite.

I just can’t get over how funny this infomercial is. It actually seems like this product is covertly promoting eavesdropping and spying. My personal favorite part is when the announcer says “You can easily hear sounds that other people can’t, and even hear conversations from clear across the room!” They might as well come out and say “Hey, have you always wanted to eavesdrop and spy on everything that other people are saying? Well then here’s the product for you!” I don’t know whether to laugh at whoever buys it, or be creeped out that people might have it.

I’m not sure if this is funny or creepy

Posted by: on: February 28, 2009

I was watching TV the other day when this new McDonald’s commercial came on.

The first time I saw this commercial I just kind of sat and stared at the TV with my mouth hanging open. There’s just something about singing fish that grabs a person’s attention in general. The fact that it was singing in a bit of a strange voice AND singing about a McDonald’s filet-o-fish sandwich is just…interesting. I don’t know if it’s the idea of the fish being aware of the fact that the guy was eating the sandwich, or the extremely catchy tune that’s already getting stuck in my head, or the creepy look on the guy’s face, but it’s difficult for me to decide whether this commercial is hilarious or creepy. Maybe it’s just both. One thing’s for sure: I certainly won’t be forgetting this commercial anytime soon.

So what do you think? Creepy or funny? Or both?
