About InfoTastic!

Hello!

InfoTastic is a blog dedicated solely to the wonderful world of infomercials (and television commercials in general that may not be typically defined as infomercials, depending on the circumstance). How many times a day to you find yourself unwittingly glued to a television screen trying to sell you the next best thing? How often do you have to chain your hands to the sofa to keep from reaching for the phone and buying yet another appliance that you don't need?InfoTastic is here to help! That's right, folks! InfoTastic is here to mock, ridicule, and poke loving fun at those pesky little commercials that keep burning holes in our pockets. Please note that InfoTastic is not here to endorse products or to provide any commentary on the functional abilities of the products themselves. The InfoTastic blog is simply here to entertain.

What's that you say? There's nothing funny about infomercials? I beg to differ.

Allow me to start off with a personal favorite infomercial of mine. I call this "Just how inappropriate can an infomercial get?


It's the Gazelle!
"Hey, kids, watch this! The best way to get a girl to like you is to make her incredibly uncomfortable by violating her personal space and then insult her! Added bonus if you can force her to keep her body pressed against yours for longer than 20 seconds. But the surest way to win her affection? Make obnoxious high-pitched noises while talking. But-TOCKS!"
(Results not typical. Most self-respecting women will inflict bodily harm if treated thusly. Proceed with caution.)

Another fine specimen of why the Gazelle infomercials are InfoTastic:


Aaaand the caaaalves! Ohh la la!
