It was a few weeks ago that the infomercial celebrated its 20th anniversary. Twenty years of dicing, slicing, spraying, grilling, creaming, dehydrating, polishing, and getting another one absolutely free if you order now. When you think infomercial, you probably think Susan “Stop the Insanity” Powter. If you don’t, well, you do now that we’ve brought her up. Brought her up from the basement where we keep old World of Wonder shows, that is. This clip is from her infomercial and it will bring back memories. Perhaps painful ones. WOW aired it on Channel 4 in the UK in 1994 on an episode of United States of Television that was devoted to infomercials. (Watch the clip)The Basement Tapes
