Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the silliest, most laughable, and amateurish infomercials that make us question how they got on our TV screens. Let us know in the comments which of these infomercial products you would be most likely to give a chance!
Got a partner who keeps cutting the cheese at night? Well, this infomercial attempts to come to your rescue with a fart-swallowing blanket. Obviously, this is the key to a better marriage, according to the blanket’s makers. Just look at the wife in this infomercial, gleefully laying out her Better Marriage Blanket. Without it, she was dramatically wagging her hand in disgust. What did that man eat? Later, the narrator gives a hilarious technical product description, likening the material of this gas-absorbing blanket to something drastically different. A great wedding gift or anniversary gift, they say? The mere act of giving this gift might cause a bigger marital issue than the one the product is designed for!
There are several humorously bad customer testimonials in the 2-minute Great Looking Hair infomercial. But nothing quite truly touches our souls like “The babes are back.” Watch out for this guy, ladies! Hilariously, the dude who says this not only has hair, but a long, flowing mullet at that. And then there’s the guy who claims his wife has a “new guy” now that he’s sprayed the Great Looking Hair product on his head. Just make sure you don’t spray your arm, which for some reason appears to be the case at one point during this amusingly cringy 2 minutes.
The bra-sporting woman in the beginning of this infomercial seems confused about how to wrap a towel around herself. Next, we have a guy wiping off sweat presumably caused by his robe. Bold move throwing shots at the robe, which is not terribly different from the product they’re hawking here. One particularly funny and poorly executed aspect of this ad is the accompanying music when the wearable towel is first introduced, which sounds like the intro to a sporting event on ESPN 8 the Ocho. And as it continues, it doesn’t get any better. Apparently it’s “perfect” to wear at a family and friends cookout, and makes for a great toga. Just look at how exuberant that stylish toga makes him! He’s ready to party.
Got a dog who keeps barking? Well ‘Bark off’ basically enables you to turn your dog into a remote control pet. They could have done much, much better with this infomercial. First of all, what kind of range does this thing have? When they mention a noisy dog in the neighborhood, you can hear a dog barking in the distance. Then some guy chillin’ outside shuts off the noise with the press of a button. It feels, well, unethical when the narrator says this item gives you “control” over when your dog barks. What’s even worse is they attempt to put a positive spin on it from the dog’s perspective. This item will supposedly make them enjoy being a member of the family again. Really?
There are numerous ways to listen to music. And there are numerous ways to dress. So why not wear a piece of aluminum foil that plays music! That’s what the music vest, an item that surfaced in the eighties, appears to be. What’s up with that horrible background music when the product is introduced in this infomercial? Didn’t they want viewers to associate the Music Vest with positive sounds? But that’s not all that contributes to this disaster of an infomercial. They call it the “latest fashion.” Seriously? That? And apparently “just hanging around” means breakdancing. This is news to us.
Presumably, the name of this product is short for ‘cushion,’ but it unequivocally sounds like something else. Besides the comically awkward introduction to the product, the still images of women with this support object nestled in their breasts is not the most creative way to present what they call “the comfortable night time companion.” And not only is it called Kush, but the color of the logo is green! Interesting decision, to say the least. This, along with the chest visuals and laughable repetition of the word “Kush” toward the end of the infomercial, perhaps could get people to start thinking of not just one, but two things when hearing the word: cannabis and breasts.
Believe it or not, there’s such an invention as a golf-club with a built-in reservoir to take a leak in. It’s called the UroClub. There’s also another catastrophic golf-related infomercial about a bathroom putting-practice product called the Potty Putter. But we’re choosing the UroClub infomercial here. There are a few hilariously bad aspects of this ad. For one, it attempts to demonstrate that it looks like the guy on the course is just checking out his club. Eh, not really. Better keep that towel in position. And why is he shaking so much while peeing? Is that normal? Then there’s the finale. Three men, separated by fine margins, soaking up the sun, and relieving themselves. Ahh, nothing like the UroClub.
It’s no secret that a handkerchief can be used to blow your nose. But, evidently, it can be used to cover cleavage as well with the Cami Secret! This narrator is comical, especially when she insinuates that the Cami Secret is the secret to enjoy wearing all your clothes. Buying clothes that you already like the look of is another groundbreaking idea. Just look at that button-down side-by side comparison. That button-down definitely does NOT look “so much better” with the Cami Secret. At the end, they really try to reel the viewer in, by offering a 6 for $10 deal. A deal that seems too good to be true. What are they hiding?
Any ad that starts off by saying “take the work out of your workout” is sketchy. And that’s what the Hawaii Chair infomercial does. The alleged first-time reactions in this infomercial are awfully humorous. Just imagine walking into a coworker’s office just to see them like this. That woman sounds like she’s having a little too much fun. Typing while hula-ing, now that takes some serious skill. Next, we have one of the worst infomercial contradictions you’ll find. After showing people completing work tasks as they swirl around in their Hawaii Chairs, we get this: [“You can hardly call this work. With the Hawaii Chair, it takes the work out of your work day.”] So, which is it, Hawaii Chair?
This infomercial starts off with a dreadful piece of acting. Who would fall over like that from smelly pits? But that’s only the beginning. Soon we see a buttcrack, which for some unfathomable reason, a guy decides to lean in and sniff. Doc Bottoms Aspray can apparently allow him to take a whiff without having to inhale that stench. How useful is that? Is that why it’s called “As-pray?” And then they show someone grabbing the back of their jeans. How this helps promote the product, who knows? Plus, there’s a guy and a woman spraying the product on their crotches. Ooookay, then. At least this fella who has “odors in special places” has a solution. Ironically, for several reasons, this infomercial flat out stinks.
#10: Better Marriage Blanket

#8: Wearable Towel
The bra-sporting woman in the beginning of this infomercial seems confused about how to wrap a towel around herself. Next, we have a guy wiping off sweat presumably caused by his robe.

#5: Kush: A Natural Rest for the Breast
