Best Week Ever picks the most stupidly convincing infomercials

by Bob Sassone, posted Dec 28th 2009 11:28AM

I have a deep, dark secret: I love infomercials. I can watch that Magic Bullet commercial with the British guy and his wife making food for all of their friends over and over again, even at one in the morning. So I enjoyed this list from Best Week Ever, the 13 most "stupidly convincing" informercials of 2009.

We've talked about several of these already, including the Comfort Wipe, Aspray, and the Shake Weight. But I hadn't seen the giant cupcake one before!

Oh, I see the 30 second commercial version of that cupcake thing *constantly*, and it's just unbelievably horrible. The bit around 0:53, where the kids go from looking angry about a cupcake to the ridiculously fake lip-licking makes me cringe every time I see it. People, if you want a dessert that size, you don't want a single cupcake, you want a cake, and you don't need a special gadget to make one.
