I recall the one where they were selling some kind of new age car polish. They had a laser beam challenge. The beam caught the annoucer’s shirt and almost got him as well. The funny part was the car challenge with the laser beam. They said the car was then a new Pontiac Grand Prix in White but if then the body style was almost the same but you can tell it was a couple of years older than brand new. I guess they really didn’t want to harm a brand new one.
A few years back nutritionist-turned-scam-artist Covert Bailey was hawking these exercise machines that were basically ride-on pelvic thrusters. My roommates and I referred to them as “fuckercizers.” In an attempt at “subtle” marketing, the riders were all models in bikinis or extremely skimpy leotards.
Of course, what made it all so funny were the spokesmodels and “experts” gushing about how “it’s like no exercise we’ve ever tried before!” And you know, they might just have been telling the truth.
