I'm the one that plays guitar, man.

- Yes, now with everybody cutting their
cords these days, and I'm not talking about the
umbilical, I'm talking about - That happens.
- The cable cord.
- That also happens.
- One of the things that we've lost
in all the convenience that we've gained.
We have lost the art of the infomercial.
- I miss the infomercials.
- Well you're in luck, buddy, 'cause
you're about to watch a bunch of 'em.
It's time for these infomercials be cheesy
but guessin' what they're sellin' won't be easy.
- Okay, so infomercials out of context?
- Okay, here's what I'm gonna do, Link.
No, not exactly, I'm going to
play a little bit of a ridiculous infomercial.
- Like out of context.
- Well, I'm gonna just play just enough
so you don't figure out what the context is.
- Okay.
- So kind of half way in context.
- So, devoid of context.
- And then I'm going to give you some
multiple choices as to what the
actual product is that's being sold.
Are you bored, 'cause your going to sleep.
- Until you show me an infomercial.
I'm always falling asleep when I watch infomercials.
- If you get three or more wrong, you
have to drink out of the champagne ShamWow
which is a ShamWow soaked in champagne.
And if you get-- - Okay.

drink out of the champagne ShamWow.
Are you ready for your first infomercial?
- Yeah, man.
- Let's watch.

American as baseball and apple pie.

A tube that injects the condiment of your choice
into the middle of your hot dog.

cheer you on at your next Little League game.
- And I bet he'd show up every time too, wouldn't he?
- My dad did, your dad didn't?
- No he didn't.
(everyone laughs)
C is possible but like, why you
gotta make me spell it out, dude.
I'm hoping. - That's my kind of humor.
Honesty.

more than just a hot dog?
Introducing the Happy Hot Dog Man.
It brings ordinary hot dogs to
life, making lunch time more fun.

Happy Hot Dog Man and close the lid.
The Happy Hot Dog Man makes a happy imprint on your hot dog.
- It's like a toy you can eat.
- It's like a toy you can eat, mom.
- It's like a way that I'm allowed to
slice hot dogs 'cause I can't use knives.
I need this, but I don't want it.
- Well, the interesting thing is.
- I want a frankfurter filler.
- The interesting thing is that's the
same tool that the doctor used
when he gave us the vasectomies.
- Right, just slam it down.
- Oh, it's a little man.
(Link laughs)
I can't make babies anymore but I can have fun.

streaming show on Netflix - Yes, that's what I was
thinking, just this stuff. - That's just infomercials.
I'd pay for it.

Wonder Boner, a steel rod that removes
all of a fish's bones by impalement
or D, a lawyer who specializes in
Boating while Under the Influence cases

- Okay, so C wasn't the joke.
- No, believe it or not.
- Fish magnet, this is when you say
that's what they called you in high school.
- Oh okay, yeah.
- You're not gonna go for it?

through the ring on the Wonder Boner and voila.

- My wife would like that.
(Rhett laughing)
- Okay, alright.
- The Wonder Boner.
- They know what's going on, or at least that one guy does.
- You don't think it's great?
- I think it's great, but I think
they're in on the joke, that's what I'm saying.
- Well here's the thing, the Wonder Boner.
I mean the joke kinds writes itself and so
I wasn't gonna make a joke, but it's actually true
that that was my nickname in high school.
- Oh, I was trying to give it to fish magnet.
(laughter)
That's what I was whispering about if you didn't know.
- Okay, let's watch the next one.
- [Narrator] Nowhere to run, nowhere to ride?
- Didn't give you much.
- Nowhere to run, nowhere to ride.

Fun Slides let you slide on carpet.
- Carpet.
(Link making mouth noises)
- [Both] Slide on carpet.
- If you don't already wanna kill your kids.

- You got one out of three.
- Oh.
- Here you go, here's another one.

And towels with fasteners, I think not.
- Wow, that's quite a freeze frame you got there.
Okay, I didn't hear what they said
'cause I was just looking at if
the towel was gonna fall. - Towels are heavy.

at the torso for multiple drying options.
Or D, the Low Blow, a giant blow dryer for your no no parts.
- Ooh, I already have one of those.
- It's just a blow dryer.
- Every morning, um, and you think I'm lying.
- It's not very efficient.
- Ask my neighbors 'cause I leave the window shades up.
The Wearable Towel, all of these
sound like the same thing, A, B, and C.
It's like all of the above is my answer.
- No, one you put in the microwave.
One is a towel with armholes. - One you zip apart.
- And the other is basically clothes with a zipper.
- I'm going with Pajamaz with a zipper.
- Let's watch.
- [Narrator] And towels with fasteners?
I think not, now there's the Wearable Towel.
The towel with arm openings, the Wearable Towel
keeps you totally covered and gives you
the freedom to use your hands.
Great for getting the paper.
- Great for getting the paper.
- Hey mom, our neighbor's a caveman.
- It's actually more embarrassing to
walk outside in that thing than it is
to go outside naked, just go outside naked, man.
- [Link] What a dummy.
- I'm Fred Flintstone.
- Just because you got muscles
doesn't mean you're not a dummy.
- Alright, this next one, by the way
you still only got one right, this
next one is from the early 90s.
- [Narrator] Is talking on the phone
getting out of hand, look out.
- Whoa, what is she doing with that phone?
She dropped it right in the bowl.

what was the person saying there?
It's just (makes mouth noises)
Are you making my favorite cake, honey?
Oh yeah.

Or D, Phone Gary, a guy named Gary who
holds your phone because he's got nothing better to do.
- A Phone Gary, help wanted, name has to be Gary.
Again, these all are so similar.
I don't think the scarf is it.

I was thinking the BrightFeet concept
when I heard about Angel Socks 'cause
Angel Socks, what y'all laughing about?
- When did you hear about Angel Socks?
- When you said it.
- Oh.
- When you said Angel Socks I was thinking about
BrightFeet, even before you said it.
- So you wanna go with BrightFeet?
- My answer is C, BrightFeet because B can't be a thing.
