So I’m watching television recently and I see this ridiculous commercial for a vibrator by Trojan called the Triphoria. In the commercial, a bride-to-be is at a bridal shower when she discovers that three of her friends all bought her the same vibrator as a gift. This part of the commercial is kind of funny but it’s not really the part that confuses me. (Although the fact that I saw this commercial multiple times on Christmas Day is confusing enough. God knows how many small children saw this during the Star Wars marathon on Spike. I can only imagine those conversations: “Mommy, what’s a vibrator?”)

At the very end of the commercial, the woman goes back home to tell her fiancé the exciting news: that she got, not one…not two…but three vibrators!

Check out the fiance’s reaction to this news…

Why is this man so excited that his future wife received three vibrators!? (more…)

It’s time for another edition of Unintentionally Funny Local Commercial—the original LWB feature where I find commercials that are so bad, they are actually funny.

The Red House is located in North Carolina, which becomes glaringly obvious within the first five seconds of watching this commercial. In an area where racial tensions are high, Red House tries to curb racism while also bringing budget furniture into your home.

Take a look…

WOW…There’s just so much to talk about that I think we need to really dive right in and break this commercial down from start to finish…

When I was a kid, I grew up on Saved by the Bell. Every Saturday morning, I’d excitedly turn on NBC and see what hijinks Zack, Screech and the rest of the gang had in store. At the time, I thought it was great television.

However, now that I’m older and I see re-runs on TBS, I realize just how ridiculous the show was. I still enjoy it but only because I now can laugh at the sheer absurdity of the show.

In honor of one of my favorite childhood shows, here are the five cheesiest moments from Saved by the Bell (more…)

It’s time for another installment of “Unintentionally Funny Local Commercials”—the original LWB feature which takes a look at a local commercial that is just so bad, it’s actually funny. Today’s local commercial is for 2 Brother’s Scrap Metal, a company in New York that obviously sells scrap metal. Here’s the commercial…

The commercial starts out with an all too familiar situation: two teenage girls trying to figure what to do with their scrap metal.  What an age-old conundrum!  Man if I had a dime for every time two teenage girls struggled to figure out a way to use excess scrap metal, I’d have well… a dime!—Because this is the only time in the history of the universe, that two young girls ever had this conversation.  (more…)

It’s time for another installment of “Unintentionally Funny Local Commercials”—the original LWB feature which takes a local commercial that is just so bad, it’s actually funny. Today’s local commercial is for Mo Money Taxes. Yes. I couldn’t believe it either—there is a tax company actually called Mo Money Taxes. Amazingly, they seem to have over 250 locations all throughout the Southern United States.

I personally would never trust my taxes to a company called “Mo Money Taxes,” and this commercial does nothing to quell my fears. Check out the ad…. (more…)

We couldn’t possibly pass up one of the final opportunities to make fun of “24.” With the series finale coming up next Monday, we had to get at least one more 24 Mockery segment posted.  This might be the best edition yet, as we debate who would win in a fight between Jack Bauer and two other legendary movie stars.

John: after last night’s episode, I think we need to do an old school 24 mockery
DV: haha…I think we can sum up the episode like this…action packed? yes…. retarded?… yes.
John: haha…yes. Retarded indeed
DV :  Hasn’t anyone ever heard of Youtube?
John: yeah seriously…just upload the friggin’ evidence on youtube. That’s what I was thinking.
John: I also was thinking that I want to get Jack Bauer’s lawyer.
John: you have to assume that Jack will somehow get away with shooting secret service agents and kidnapping a former president.
DV: yes… and if armor like that is all you need to be a one man army… how come everyone in the army doesn’t wear that shit?
John: seriously. Jack Bauer was like Robo Cop yesterday…with that suit Jack Bauer is officially invincible. (more…)

When you turn on any regional network, you’re bound to see plenty of local commercials.  Due to the small budget many of these companies have, these commercials are usually pretty awful.  Whether it’s poor acting or ridiculous dialogue, these commercials can be so bad, they are actually comical.  In a new LWB feature, I’ll be mocking some local commercials.

Today’s local commercial is the Slomin’s Shield.  The Slomin’s Shield sells home security systems and has a reputation for cheesy commercials.  This recent number tops the list.

There are three “vignettes” in this commercial, with each showing what life is like without the Slomin Shield and what it’s like with it.  It is a trifecta of horrendous acting.  I’ve seen school plays with better acting than this.  Take a look and see for yourself. (more…)

There are plenty of people out there who have dreams of being a broadcaster on TV. They study broadcasting in college, they try internships and do what they can to get ahead. However, some people just aren’t cut out for television. The clips below feature some of the worst reporting ever recorded in the history of the medium. (more…)
