GuyfromGermany- What does Hazel sound like?

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 4:57am

Overexcited!
The "actors" doing the voice overs actually sound like they usually do porn voice overs...
It's quite interesting! Ehehe...

What does a porn voice over sound like?

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 5:01am

Have you never heard one?
Wait... is "voice over" the right term? It's when a movie is actually in another language and they have to dub the actors...

Well, nevertheless, you can just hear that they are trying to sound very, very excited about everything that's happening but are actually sitting in a muggy room, almost falling asleep.

Ya voice over is the right term.

Does Hazel at least sound like a smoker?

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 5:08am

Hmpf, I haven't seen this commercial lately.
I can't really remember the details. All I know is that it's hilariously bad!

wow. Ivan and I saw these at Robinson May's the other weekend. So funny.

And the pasta express infomercials are awful! I love how they show the woman making pasta the regular way, and it's in black and white, like it's so old fashioned.

"It's just too hard!" *Splashes hot boiling water all over the place*

So stupid.

I think that I am going to get a real Magic Bullet user in this thread and we can have a Q and A session.

Pasta Express is crap now Magic Bullet and even RONCO, that is art.

Remember Chef Tony and his famous knives? And how he tried to prove that regular knives sucked by taking a loaf of bread and cutting it? Except he practically mushed the bread with his hands to give the illusion that the regular knives sucked.

And he had another product similar to the Magic Bullet...forgot what it was called. But he cut stone in it...wtf!

We have a VERY disturbing guy over here who's doing infomercials.
I wish I knew his name so I could post a pic...
Strange!

[neddyfrank2]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 5:44am

Never heard of the stone cutter, I remember the knife guy.

GuyfromGermany- What infomercial does he do?

I remember when I was little I wanted to be 18 SOOOO bad, just so I could call...

[millie_dillmount]

The stone cutter is the same as the knife guy.

One time at school, we were in the lounge watching some random Spanish infomercial. My friend knew this one Spanish phrase which in English translated into something about cutting a guy's balls (it was an infomercial for knives). Anyways, he called up the Spanish infomercial people saying that phrase and they just hung up on him.

It was funnier in person.

He does a lot of different infomercials... And even though you can clearly see he's speaking German, he's dubbed... in German...

I'm trying Google to find a pic.

My friend and I used to prank call American Girls almost every day when we were in middle school. Finally they called us back. Oops.

For those of you who don't know, American Girls is the company that manufactures those dolls (Felicity, Kit, Samantha, Molly, etc.) with the books (Meet Felicity, Meet Kit, etc...).

[neddyfrank2]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 5:55am

What did they say when they called you back?

[GuyfromGermany]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 5:58am

I found him!


He even has his own website:

I dunno exactly lol. They called my friend's house and talked to her mom. And convinced them not to call my house.

GuyFromGermany, that guy looks freaky. Omg, I'm so stupid. The way he was positioned in that picture made it look like he was mixing something in a bowl and holding it up for everyone to see. He's holding an iron. Wow I'm more tired than I thought.

[neddyfrank2]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 6:02am

How did they get your number and what would you say when you call.

Wow that guy is freaky!

I'm signing off and will read your response later bye bye

[millie_dillmount]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 6:08am

They probably record all their calls. They probably also have caller ID or something. There's ways companies can track calls.

Best infomercial EVER!

I present the stages of the Magic Bullet infomercial obsession.

Stage 1 - Mild Interest
"Man, I've stayed up too late again. Hey, an infomercial I haven't seen before. This thing looks pretty good, I guess."

Stage 2 - Real Interest
"Wow, I could probably use one of those."

Stage 3 - To Buy or Not to Buy
"I'm getting one!" or "Nah."

Stage 4 - The Repeated Viewings Begin
"This thing is on again? Bleh, nothing else is on. Wait. Did that guy just say he was hungover?"

Stage 5 - Mild Obsession
"Seriously, shut up, Hazel. And who eats a huge plate of nachos for breakfast? Actually, that's starting to sound good. (I wish I had/Good thing I bought) a Magic Bullet!"

Stage 6 - Real Obsession and Questioning
"What happened the night before? Why would Mick and Mimi invite their friends over for a huge bash and then try to sell a blender to them the next morning while they're all hungover (especially Berman)? Who let Hazel in the house? Did she just wander in? I'm positive they didn't invite her to the party/barbecue/Magic Bullet convention."

Stage 7 - A Well Deserved Break
"I don't think I can watch this anymore... Hey, Esteban's on!"

Stage 8 - Repeat Stages 4 Through 7 Until They Take the Infomercial Off The Air
"No! They'll never take it off the air! Never!"

I think I am on stage 6

Oh my God. I always tend to get obsessed over infomercials and this is my current obsession.

Mandi-I think I'm on stage 5

Heres a thought. Sure it may take 10 seconds to GRIND these items, but what about prep time? to cut the cheese into those squares, to cut the vegetables .. and as she states during the pasta sause demonstration "And you never dirty a single plate or pan" but what about boiling that pasta? Was it just laying around and you didnt have to boil it? I dont know, Im skeptical.

[neddyfrank2]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 1:44pm

Ya last night I was wondering the same thing. Also I was wondering why they had all these items just laying around. All they were doing is making breakfast for their friends, why did they have cheese's and pasta and ice cream out?

[Dancinqueen123]

Posted: 8/4/06 at 1:51pm

I also think of those kinds of things too. What kind of a person just has all of the makings for an omlet arranged nicely on a platter?
