Definitely the most annoying infomercial ever

Do you guys have the Everest college commercials? The ones with the young black man trying to persuade other young men to get of the couch and go to college.

He sort of harasses you into going to college.

"Yo, what are you doing!?" "You're probably sitting on your couch, while life passes you by, wondering what happened."

"Don't even look at me, you see the number. Call the number, don't even be looking at me."

:(

Yup, I mentioned that guy in the first page, but last time I saw it, it was Kee Business College.

Also, locally we have a business college where a dude stands in front of a camera, telling you how easy it is to get a degree, and essentially calls you stupid for not buying in and going to this college.
 
The one thats just stupid beyong belief is the one gushing over a product called "Extenz" (male enhancement) or something like when a guy sitting behind a desk is talking to three totally brain-dead chicks sitting together on couch.. asking them all kinds of leading questions about sex and "size" .. Its a total waste of videotape. As soon as I catch sight of it on a channel, I zap it.
 
I cannot stand that creepy guy with the John Waters style mustache who did the awful, original, colon cleansing supplement infomercial. Besides that the spiel is void of any real medical evidence, or research to back up it's spurious claims, the dialouge between the supposed medical experts and the huckster is bizarre and absolutely creepy,especially when the snake oil seller shares his observations regarding the size and shape of what his daughter left behind in the toilet bowl! If he did do this to his daughter she's gonna' need therapy to work past the awful memories of ' creepy daddy the poop inspector'! It's got my vote for worst infomercial of all time.
 
No one's mentioned good ole "Bob" and those damn Enzyte commercials..uUuuuUghh!!!!

I love how when that infomercial starts, the girl has no idea about what Extenze is and we are supposed to believe the guy is explaining it to her. Then, all of sudden, she turns to the camera and starts explaining to us what Extenze is! ***?

So let me get this straight. You are just some girl who happens to not know anything about Extenze. Then after 5 minutes of the world's biggest douchebag telling you all about it, you then suddenly start selling it to us like you've been with the company for years. Or how about the fact that she acts like she doesn't know what it is AND YET THEY HAVE PRE TAPED VIDEO INTERVIEWS WITH HER ON THE STREET ASKING PEOPLE IF THEY USED IT?

And then of course EVERY guy she talks to on the street says yes, they happened to have used it with fantastic results.

And then my girl's favorite part. The 3 old hags who look like rejects from Sex and the City who are lucky to have even had sex with a man, talking about how most men are worthless because there penises are not huge and so they need Extenze.

These low budget jokes then end with another woman looking into the camera saying the same stupid "certain part of the male body" while she overblinks to the point of getting a headache watching it.

These are the worst commercials in the world and they are on all f***ing night long when I can't sleep!!!
