The 8 Best As Seen On TV Products

Don't you just hate it when you can't hear the TV over your kids arguing about whether a ball or dinosaur is better? What do you do when your screen-door boat just keeps taking on water? Couldn't your hair use a little more pouf? Luckily, infomercials are here to tell you how to solve these problems (for three easy payments of $19.95, of course). There are days when infomercials are the best thing on TV. They're straightforward, brilliantly over-acted, and alert you to problems you didn't even know you had. While some products are just genuinely ridiculous, there are actually a number of them that might be nice to have around the house, like these that are either really handy or funny in the most practical sort of way. But act now! Supplies are probably running out!

1. Grill Daddy

   If you've ever hosted a barbecue, you know what a pain it can be to clean off the grill once everyone's gone. When you've done several rounds of burgers or steaks, or if you just haven't quite gotten the timing down yet and burned dinner, the job is even tougher. The Grill Daddy will get rid of your grease without all the extra elbow grease. While the grill is hot, you use this brush with water in the handle to attack your mess with steam. The water comes out, turns to steam as you brush, and your stuck-on food comes off easily, at least according to the commercial. Now you're ready for another party!

2. Better Marriage Blanket

   This product should be recommended by couples' therapists everywhere. You are going to be so much more in love with your husband after you've solved the problem of his stinky gas. With its activated-carbon odor-eliminating layer that we're sure was created by the brightest minds in science, no fart is too big for this relationship-saving throw. Though the idea seems silly, we bet there are plenty of ladies in the market for this product and many others who would buy it as a gag gift.

3. Shed Pal

   Shedding is a big problem for anyone who has a furry pet, especially if we're talking about an extremely fluffy cat or a huge, hairy dog. The worst thing about it is that you know we all sit around and judge people who go out in public with dog hair all over their clothes. Lint rollers can only do so much. To not be one of those social pariahs, this product looks like it should work pretty well. It's basically a pet vacuum that sucks the extra hair (and hopefully no more) off your pet before it becomes a probably for your clothes or couches. Though the commercial says that even the most finicky cats will enjoy the Shed Pal, the cat they use doesn't look too happy, so you probably shouldn't expect your kitty to do more than just tolerate it.

4. Long Reach Comfort Wipe

   This is pretty much what you would expect from its name: a tool that extends your reach allowing you to wipe yourself more easily. At first glance, this might seem like a ridiculous piece of merchandise, but it's probably genuinely useful for many Americans who suffer from obesity or back injuries. For the rest of us, this might not be a bad product for anyone with a germ phobia or who just need a reminder of what life could be like if they let their weight get too out of hand. Motivation, anyone?

5. Black Out<

   Sometimes you come across an idea that's so simple, it's brilliant. Black Out is one of those ideas — at least it is if it works the way it's supposed to. While many businesses have paper shredders, it's not an appliance you'll find in every household. Many of us just don't get enough sensitive documents or mail that make a shredder worth the trouble, so if you're paranoid at all about identity theft, you just cut or rip up every bank account statement into confetti. Black Out makes the process much easier, by allowing users to stamp out their private information with an ink that can't be washed off. Its jumbled pattern makes it impossible to read from the front or back and will almost put you at ease when you see a weirdo digging through your trash.

6. RoboStir

   This isn't quite as cool as a robot who stands at your stove and stirs for you, but it's close. The RoboStir is a cordless device that stands up in any pot or pan and will supposedly stir every inch while you go about your business. It has three feet that stir while the tool moves around the perimeter of the pot. Even better, the RoboStir can withstand heats up to 550 degrees if you like your soups flesh-burningly hot and comes with a "Surprize" gift! Don't worry; you can still tell your spouse that you slaved over a hot stove all day. They don't have to know the truth.

7. Furniture Fix

   We've probably all sat down on a couch or chair that sank just a little too low for comfort. Of course, we doubt anyone's ever had quite as much trouble getting up as the people in this infomercial; they might actually need to consult a doctor. Nevertheless, Furniture Fix is a pretty good solution to the problem of a worn-out sofa. The interlocking panels that you stick under the cushion give your derriere support and are much less expensive than buying a new couch or armchair. You can also apparently use them whenever your sumo wrestler friends come to visit. Can't beat that.

8. Chat Brite

   Trying your luck at online dating? You might want to buy Chat Brite so you can cast yourself in the best light for any Skype chats with potential dates or PhotoBooth pictures for your profile. The light kit is powered by your USB port and can be arranged in just the right way for optimum lighting for your webcam. If you're buying this product, it's probably safe to say you're spending a little too much time online, but hey, you've got to look your best! It's especially nice for people who like to video chat with loved ones who live far away or who are deployed.
