The world’s worst infomercials

Infomercials were a late night staple back in the 80s and 90s. Insomniacs, drunks, stoners and students could turn on the TV at 2am and be guaranteed cheap laughs, crappy products and half-assed testimonials from an unrelenting supply of paid advertisements.

Sadly, those days are long gone. While you can still find the occasional infomercial, the whole scene has gone depressingly upmarket and professional. It’s all celebrity endorsements and Jessica Simpsons telling you she one had a pimple. Or Tyra Banks looking like a scary transvestite.

Where’s the bearded ladies? The sexual harassment? The unintelligible hosts and crazy as shit concepts? Frankly, modern day infomercials have got nothing on the classics.

The original Santo Gold:


Tom Vu and his babes:


Miss Cleo’s psychic network:


“I’m a fucking retard.”


“I got Nadded.”


Dr Ho will sexually harass you:


Attached are some of our favourite celebrities who have lamed it up for infomercials.

Apparently Santo Gold used 'Blood Circus' to try and convince a judge he wasn't mentally fit to stand trial for mail fraud. It didn't work and he did jail time.
