Because they’ve taken sixty-four! of your favorite “As Seen on TV” products and put them into tournament-style single elimination brackets to determine what poorly-pitched product will emerge victorious!
Will it be the long-awaited Billy Mays (OxiClean, Mighty Putty) vs. Vince (ShamWOW, Slap Chop) matchup??
Will the George Foreman Grill tackle the Magic Bullet Head-On?!
Or will Thighmaster get cramped up by the taut, ominous Bowflex?!
You decide. The current round of voting is over, but you have a chance to make your voice heard in the next round of voting, choosing from the Elite Eight. 64 products are now 16… will be 8, 4, 2, and then the only one left standing, your champion. Glorious.
UPDATE: The Final Four have been chosen! It’s a battle between ShamWOW, Bowflex, the George Foreman Grill, and Girls Gone Wild (honestly don’t know why this one is still in, it’s trash at its finest)! Stay tuned (this means keep hitting F5).
UPDATE 2: Vote from the Final Four… here.

a realistic dose of cynicism 
aww.. my pool lost. I had jack’s power juicer beat ginsu knives.
good luck, magic bullet!
knives beat out the magic bullet? how something that’s so good and has such a funny double meaning lose? at least girls gone wild knocked off the video professor… gotta root for the no. 14 seed bow flex making it out to the elite 8.
Head on is by far the most awesome product ever.
1. Make a cheap placebo product
2. Make a single, very simple, 30 second ad
3. ???
4. Profit!
I’m disappointed that neither the Salad Shooter nor the Ronco spray-on hair made the top 16 in their respective categories. Both were classics when we were toddlers.
oh man, i remember the salad shooter! i want it.
