There is a commercial for a product called Shamwow. Shamwow looks looks like a paper towel/bath towel hybrid. Vince Offer pushes this product. He spills coke on a rug , and he says, 'Shamwow will clean up this mess." A few seconds later, the coke is GONE before Vince even uses the shamwow! :rolleyes::crazy: :lol: either the Shamwow is that great that you don't even have to put it ON the spill for the spill to disappear, or there is camera cutting/editing. Which one seems more realistic? ;)

Vince himself looks pretty weird. He is a slick, fast talker, and talks out of one side of his mouth, and one of his eyes doesn't open up all the way. he uses a headset for some unknown reason, and seems like a used cars salesman or a worker at a carnival toy booth.... he also has a GREEN Mohawk.

Vince says, "It absorbs water. Then a few seconds later, he says, 'You can throw it in the washer..... I know I can be naive, but i find something just wrong about that line.....:crazy: :rolleyes:

Shamwow has to be one of the greatest names for a product. The word '"sham" is in it.... enoguh said.....:lol: Vince is smart though. He says, 'shamWOW(he says the "sham" part quietly, but says the 'WOW" loudly). He subliminally puts the emphasis "wow" part in your head).... He even says, 'you'll be saying "wow" everytime.....

He says that you can dry your dog, your RV, your boat, your carpets, your dishes, your sweaters, and even yourself. He says that olympic divers use that to dry themselves.........:rolleyes: :lol:

Vince says, 'It's made in germany, and germans always make good stuff"....Like Nazis, Holocaust, and gas chambers..... (he doesn't say any of the three examples....;) )

Vince also has a dub when he tells how long the shamwow lasts. He says, 'This lasts ten years(he covers up his mouth with the shamwow when he says how long it lasts).. He most likely said, 'a year". Then, he says, 'This last a week." (Holds up a kitchen sponge). i dunno know, it sells itself."(the shamwow, not the sponge).

Vince's quotes will live in infamy.

"The Germans always make good stuff,"

"You're gonna spend 20 dollars a month on paper towels anyway, you're throwing your money away."

"Are you followin me, camera guy?"

"You'll be saying, 'wow" everytime.

There are suspicious things about this commercial..... vince himself, the ShamWOW(that's the actual lettering, subliminally to make you think of "wow"), and the "customers"... Especially a "customer" who hasn't even used the shamwow yet saying, 'I don't even buy paper towels anymore." (she holds the unopened Shamwow in her underarm. That's not suspicious at all. :rolleyes: The other custeomers basically just say, 'Shamwow and two other people just talk about how great shamwow is......:rolleyes:

In one part, vince says, 'you have to call to get your Shamwow in the next 20minutes because I can't do this all day." :lol: :crazy:

The whole commercial is :lol:

I have it on good authority that Vince sold his soul to the devil years ago and even the Sham-WOW can't suck that back up.

Vince just might be the new Billy Mays!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He even starts his Shamwow Commercial with, 'Hi, Vince here to tell you about Shamwow!... Except he speaks a LOT softer than Billy Mays does!..............:D ;)

Or VWs, Hedi Klum, Beer, Shnitzel, Bratwurst.....

Okay, no race of people should be grouped together like that. Not all Germans supported the Holocaust or Hitler, for that matter, and they are all certainly not Nazis. It's like saying all middle eastern people are terrorists. And that's just silly.

I'm sorry but you could not have Billy Mays and Vince Offers in the same infomercial together - their powers would cancel each other out and the universe would implode.

...and there's no way that Ka-Boom! or the Sham-WOW! could clean up that mess.

Someone on YouTube said that you can see Vince in the background hustling Shamwows in a tent, wearing shades... I watched the shamwow commercial, and he is............. He really is selling Shamwows in a TENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol: *Sings "desperation" in the tune of Rod Stewart's "Infatuation" song..... Des ...per..a...tion...:".:lol:

I always had a feeling that Vince was there, in the "street" part, where people are talking abiout how good Shamwow is.... But I thought that Vince was behind the camera, like the person "interviewing" them about the Shamwow, like in the cameraman's positon.... i didn't think he would be in front of the camera, selling Shamwows!!!!!!!!!! *Cannot stop laughing*:lol:


But, at least Vince wasn't one of the people "raving" about the Shamwow..... He could have easily put on sunglasses and a baseball cap and tried to disguise his voice, so that we can't see that it's him him trying to rave about his own product!(that would have been beyong desperastion, that would have been CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)....:lol:

It would have been interesting if Vince said, "Shamwow... you'll be saying SHAM everytime!" That would have been :eek: :lol: But I know he wouldn't have used the first part of the word..... ;) :lol:
