I used to watch this shit every Saturday and Sunday morning when I was a kid. Even though it was the same show repeated over and over again I would watch it every weekend
Same here except it used to come on late at night in Canada. This and the Miracle Blade Knives and the Magic Bullet one with the hungover family. I watched them over and over. There was something to inriging about them for a kid. They just made everything look so damn easy and enjoyable.
By the sounds of it, Jill came about 20 times during the filming of this infomercial. Surprised they weren't slipping and sliding on the floor by the end.
Mitch Farkas Which is why I prefer Steve Bryant over Jill. Steve isn’t as “fascinated” or “amazed” as Jill. That’s why I like the “Showtime Six Star Knives” commercial and the “Standard Rotisserie” commercial.
"Let me get my glasses.....Im at that stage in my life now....." (no laughter).... "Do you folks know what I mean?" (menacing glare and the nervous crowd laughs)
I also used to want one. I remember watching these types of infomercials as a kid on my sick days from school. I always loved them; they're a beloved memory from my childhood.
I've seen every version of these Showtime rotisserie infomercials, and it's interesting that not one of them has ever mentioned one thing: the cleanup. Hm, I wonder why.
Ron Popeil seems like the kind of guy you would hate to have at the dinner table with your friends over. I absolutely guarantee that when his daughter Shannon has her girlfriends over for dinner once Ron said, "Eat your salad girls, you need the iron to have good periods."
I'm creeped out about how every time he says something to the audience, they look at the person on both sides of them and shake their heads affirmatively.
I have a Ronco standard, and it works great.. everything really comes out good, and in the summer time, i can have a nice meal without over heating my house
I like the way the 'Pro' model is his 'new invention'. It's just a bigger machine! What's his next 'invention' going to be - the 'Extreme' model that's as big as your oven? LOL.
At 06:51, she sounds like she's breaking out in tears ("oh...my...gosh it's unbelievable!") Yeah, tears of joy because Ron Popeil cuts some chunk of meat in half - some folks are so easy to make happy... *g*
0:15 ' Before we review, first let me feel if my mustache still is there!' 1:07 'The standard model is about the seize of a toaster oven' Yeah...for those who are REALLY blind!!
I used to work in a deli where we made rotisserie chickens. Cleaning the bottom pan where all the drippings collect and the sides of the machine are the absolute worst thing. In all these infomercials he never talks about cleaning the inside of the machine at all.
Rotisserie in a dorm??? What college would allow that? Holy cow, they didn't even allow microwaves or hot plates in my dorm. Ummmm....perhaps because it was a long time ago. Back in the stone age.
God all of the ronco commercials seem so awkward and just fucking weird. The girl swooning at the beginning of the clip, the over exaggerated audience gestures, the host acting like he's actually talking to the chicken lady, etc. I sorta realize now why he dubs so much.
One really unrealistic thing they always do in these commercials - they cut the meat RIGHT OUT of the oven. Of course it's gonna be 'super juicy' - you just let out all of it's internal juices and it's now all over your cutting board. Dry meat anyone? Yum.

Haha me too... It was so relaxing

I love the constant going back and forth between his actual voice and the obvious edited in tracking voice
A staple of Ronco informercials

I think you'll need a lot more 'Char Rub' if you follow Ron! He dumps like 3/4 of the bottle! Haha. These infomercials are gold.
I also used to want one. I remember watching these types of infomercials as a kid on my sick days from school. I always loved them; they're a beloved memory from my childhood.
In 2002, I used to watch these commercials every chance that I got! There're very entertaining!
I watch this every thanksgiving!!!!! But they don't show it anymore!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this feels so late night 90's. A good thing though I loved the 90's
I went on Craigslist and purchased 2 of the standard size ones for $20 each. They were only used once. I can't wait to use it.
That studio must have smelled incredible...
Ron has a small unit. But he also has an enormous unit that will feed 4 to 6 people.
Ron was an icon infomercial king. Rest in peace, and until we meet again
5:37
"You can order black. Or you can order white. Just tell the operator your color preference!"
How America of you Ron!
RIP, Ron Popeil. You were a legend in the infomercial business.
You can set it, but NEVER FORGET it! R.I.P. Ron Popeil
Ronnie P is the godfather of ASMR. It didn't matter what else was on tv, I always stopped here.
"Pay a little bit more to get quality"...hmm what a concept.
And it worked! Showtime Rotisserie brought in almost a billion dollar in revenue.

Like the old guy with glasses at minute 4:33 🤦♂️😂😂😂
My uncle Ron never BS anything. Best machine ever. RIP tio.

Jill is actually Jill Whelan, best known as Vicki from the "Love Boat" (Capt. Stubing's daughter).
I am surprise
This is like the last bit of the 1950's.
An included platform, pretty much a penny's worth of plastic... now I'm REALLY impressed.
Pretty sure Jill's kids are proud of her work here.
I like the way the 'Pro' model is his 'new invention'. It's just a bigger machine! What's his next 'invention' going to be - the 'Extreme' model that's as big as your oven? LOL.
I love how Ron's infomercials are the few never questioned.
Holy shit LOL. The audience reaction @ 4:33!!!!!

Ron loves to say "over here"
Has anybody ever taken count of how many times he's said "over here" and "looga (look at) this"
0:15 ' Before we review, first let me feel if my mustache still is there!' 1:07 'The standard model is about the seize of a toaster oven' Yeah...for those who are REALLY blind!!
i love watching these cooking shows!! thanks
I love the way he says "chicken"
I could never understood why Jill wasn't dressed in a bikini and high heels for this, it seemed so tasteful and appropriate for all occasions.
You set it and forget it...and then it burns the house down because you forgot about it
I used to work in a deli where we made rotisserie chickens. Cleaning the bottom pan where all the drippings collect and the sides of the machine are the absolute worst thing. In all these infomercials he never talks about cleaning the inside of the machine at all.
how bout cross contaminating the chicken and beef ha
Ron popeil its so funny i like his infomercials
Waiting for the ultra pro model
Lady you have got to get out more!
Rotisserie in a dorm??? What college would allow that? Holy cow, they didn't even allow microwaves or hot plates in my dorm. Ummmm....perhaps because it was a long time ago. Back in the stone age.
Chances are that most of those "millions and millions" of machines sold are nowadays broken in some way or sitting unused.
Looks good
Its so easy that even a supercentarian can use it!
5:39 Then came civil rights! :P
6:45 - jesus christ, i've never seen a knife like that. it's more like a sword!!
Is that JILL WHELAN of THE LOOOOOOVE BOAT?
it is her
1 chicken...2 chickens...3 chickens...or 4 chickens lol
SALMONELLA EVERYWHERE.
dorms wouldnt necessarily mean that it is a college dorm.
i watch this when i eat
my life is saved...it comes with a platform!!!
love the chinese for making this product
Pretty messed up to show the chickens at Zacky Farms, the chickens cooking in the Showtime.
I did too lol. I'll never understand why exactly I did
I can roast a chicken in my oven without paying $120 plus S&H for a gimmick.

Why would I want to make a rotisserie chicken in my dorm room?
Because chicken.
86 dollars for that?
Can someone please tell me why I would need to roast a 4lb chicken in my dorm room????
5:43 "You can order black or white if you have a a color preference" wow really...
If you call now, I won't slaughter your children!
(applause)
Just close the door and ignore!
heatwave ftw
Full of win
I'm at that stage of my life folks
This is the type of knife you should have folks!
Set it and FORGET it!
So many one liners and ridiculous dialogue
Popeil rulz
Fucks sake nearly every sentence he says has the very irritating "Over Here" in it!
2000 or 2001

I KNOW YOUR WATCHING THIS AS YOU EAT
hahahahaha some of the worst overdubs in the history of infomercials

Because your roommate would eat 2-3 pounds of your food? =/
@Sonicwolf359 That's hilarious!
Set it and forget it!
