The funniest is the food chopper with Tony the chef and his assistant that exclaims “yum!” with delight everytime she tries the chopped food.

Tony Little is another freaky guy that seems a little too enthusiastic to ride that Gazelle machine. Oh and his long hair. Heh.

I may have been hallucinating (or dreaming because it was late at night), but I swore I saw Ron Jeremy and about four bimbettes doing something for a male enhancement product.

I don’t know the name, but it’s a little massager that you slip on your finger, and it vibrates really fast. The best part is how enthusiastic the commercial is, going on and on about accessories and uses and convenience, when what they’re selling is the most obvious vibrator in the world.

Ben Stiller’s infomercial, with William Shatner, for the Ben Stiller Show DVD is pretty funny. But it’s trying to be funny, so it’s funny-in-a-conventional-way rather than informercial-funny.

The set of about 30 different knives, all of which can cut anything. And we mean ANYTHING. In the infomercial, they literally cut drywall, stone, ice, and a variety of other non-food related things, with kitchen knives. I think all infomercials are pretty funny, actually.
