Hot Booties are here, people! They are soooo much more than just slippers. They are pure comfort and therapy for your feet. Just put the Hot Booties in the Booty Bag, pop them in the microwave for 60 seconds and enjoy an hour of moist heat … on your feet. If Hot Booties are indeed a real product, which they appear to be, they are going to look so good with my Pajama Jeans or my Forever Lazy. Oooh! I can probably accessorize with my Snazzy Napper. Just what we need. More products that kill our collective sex drive. [Buzzfeed]

A Really Creepy Way To Eat Your Hot Dog

Ami AngelowiczJune 13, 2011 //

I already dislike hot dogs, but the Happy Hot Dog Man brings my distaste to a whole new level. These kind of antics are fine for Play-Doh, but not for wieners. I do not want my hot dog to have arms, legs, eyes, the ability to dance, or wear outfits. I have serious concerns about the child (or adult) who complains that the standard hot dog is “not fun enough to eat.” [The Daily What] Keep reading »

I Want A SlobStopper

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comApril 13, 2011 //

Oh, how I love infomercials. This one for the “Slobstopper” tries to sell you an oversized bib for $14.95. “Has this ever happened to you?” Actually, no. Please tell me this one is a joke. [Buzzfeed] Keep reading »

Cami Secret Is One They Never Should Have Let Out Of The Box

Leonora EpsteinMay 7, 2010 //

Behold the Cami Secret! A handkerchief that hooks on to your bra so when you wear a low-cut top, your lecherous male co-workers won’t spontaneously motorboard you. (Ohmigosh, you have that problem too?!) It won’t ruin your clothes with safety pins, and it eliminates the need for those annoying camisoles you have to wear underneath some shirts. In short, this is a bib for your boobs. And guess what! It’s adjustable so that you can slide it up and down to choose how much boob crack you want to show off. Our guess: Cami Secret was invented by a frustrated and disturbed mom with an overly developed teenage daughter. [YouTube] Keep reading »

I Don’t Care, I Want A Shake Weight

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 19, 2010 //


I gotta be honest, y’all. I kind of want to try the Shake Weight. Sure, it makes your arms look like they’re giving a fairly vigorous handy, but is that really so embarrassing if you’re doing it in the privacy of your own home while wearing workout clothes? “Saturday Night Live” hilariously spoofed the, uh, sexual nature of the product’s infomercial, but that didn’t do much to dissuade my interest. My upper arms need some work. Seriously, Shake Weight people — send me one to test out! Keep reading »

Brace Yourselves For The “Marshmallow Soft” Hoodie-Footie

Erin FlahertyFebruary 10, 2010 //

You can learn a lot from this video. For example, even though I’m the Style Editor here at The Frisky, I was not aware that “footed PHs for women are all the rage” right now. Really!? Good to know, good to know. In combining slippers, a hoodie and a blanket, the new Hoodie-Footie Snuggle Suit rips a page right out of the ever-popular Snuggie handbook by insisting that blankets are hazardous, inconvenient and completely restrict your movement, which as we all know by now, is so sadly true. But this time, there are also economic reasons why you simply must slip into one, as they insist that these puppies will totally cut down your heating bills! With the Hoodie-Footie priced at a whopping $49.95, you’ll probably need all that extra cash anyway. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Goodbye Snuggie, Hello Necky

Bianca PosterliDecember 15, 2009 //


Watch out Snuggie. There’s a new random must-have infomercial product on everyone’s wish list this holiday season: The Necky. It’s for everyone who loves to spend money on random items, or the truly lazy who can’t figure out how to properly tie a scarf. For the low price of $9.95, two of these scarves with bibs can be yours in a variety of colors and patterns, including “Designer Leopard.” Or maybe this can be a two-part present, to make it a Snuggie and Necky holiday season where no one gets cold ever?

More Products For Obscenely Lazy People!

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 25, 2009 //


We may be in the middle of a recession, but companies keep churning out products for people who are too lazy to wipe their own butts. Take, for example, the Shoedini. I have no idea if this is a new product or an old standby, but it’s the first I’ve seen of it. If bending over to take off your shoes requires too much time and effort that could be spent sitting on your fat butt watching infomercials and eating chicken wings, then the Shoedini is for you. I suppose this product would be acceptable for someone dealing with back problems, like our own dear Simcha, who has been laid up at home for almost two months after a botched spinal tap and can’t bend over, but she’s Simcha, goddamnit. She’s special. [$14.99, Shoedini via Buzzfeed] Keep reading »

Handerpants: Product You Didn’t Know You Desperately Needed

Erin FlahertyJuly 24, 2009 //

Move over Snuggie, there’s a new infomercial sensation in town, and according to this sales pitch, it’s highly recommended for hobos, ninjas with delicate hands, Twitterers and “Night Bloggers” like us. Anyway, we’ll just go ahead and let these “Underpants For Your Hands” speak for themselves. Also, you can order them here, for real. [Gizmodo] Keep reading »
