The Joys of Late-Night Commercials
Every time I stay up late, between the hours of 2 am and 6 am this commercial shows up:
This commercial reminds me of one of those gimmicky pitches that you see at the kiosks at the mall or a county fair. The guy who is pushing this product is very good at it, but he kind of looks scary to me. Couldn’t they find someone else who is more pleasant looking on TV?
No matter, how they push this product is still looks like a cheap product. I love how these commercials try to make it sound like YOU REALLY NEED this product in your life and how did you ever live without it? It cracks me up when they say that you spend “$20 a month on paper towels.” Really? What kind of slob are you if you use that many rolls of paper towels in a month. Would someone really rather pull out a ShamWow to clean up a mess or just grab a few paper towels? Honestly, the ShamWow needs to be washed out and hung to dry when you’re done using it. Paper towels – welcome to the trash can.
And you know when a product is really good (sarcasm here), they always double the order. So you know this is one of those great things out there! And the deal only lasts 20 MINUTES! Everytime I see the commercial you get those 20 minutes – EVERYTIME!
And the ‘testimonials’ they give are hilarious. Especially those two women who have to say “ShamWow” together. Like that really makes me want to get the product even LESS!
I really enjoying watching late night television because of these great commercials that you see.
It’s made in Germany…so it’s got to be good.
I feel like the entire nation of Germany should be able to file a class action lawsuit against the SHAMwow company.
Haha!
Great ad. Love his Mohawk. Professional? perhaps not. Fun? Absolutely. If I ever dump an entire bottle of coke on my carpet, I’ll be sure to borrow my neighbor’s shamwow to clean it up. I know they’ll have one to lend me because they got TWO SETS!!!
