I always thought they had some sort of party the night before with the way people were dragging their asses into the kitchen, and a swingers party definitely makes the most sense. Possibly at a resort! Because who would have that ungodly amount of fruit??
It has the exact vibe right away of “all these people just had sex with each other” and there’s like 20 people None of them are related and they’re all touchling each other
I like to imagine this is set the morning after a wild swingers party and everyone is avoiding the awkward tension by hyper fixating on a crappy blender
This was literally the conclusion I had drawn before I came to the comments section to see if I was the only one. I think we’re besties now. Like contractually, I think that’s how it works. ❤😂
This infomercial was so popular there were multiple sequels including the whole gang on vacation, a surprise fling and a camping trip. There's a Magic Bullet Cinematic Universe. Yes I'm serious.
@@gracel2martas someone who hates chunks of fruit in baked goods, the blended muffins are kind of a vibe. Though I would probably turn the blueberries into a syrup and swirl it.
I'm 36 years old, and I can almost recite this infomercial by memory. And the worst part is that the machine works! They didn't need this infomercial because the product actually stands on its own. But here we are.
I like that him offering him a smoothie and saying “how about a bit of the hair of the dog that bit ya” kind of implies he was hungover from smoothies lol
Right! 😂 I was like umm…is there alcohol in that smoothie? Cause it was inferred that this man was hungover, so the ‘hair of the dog that bit you’ would be some type of alcohol 😂😂
I think the only plot that makes this infomercial make sense is : This is the morning after a swingers party at a senior living facility and the hosts want to impress their friends.
I can see it! My read was, this was the timeshare (equivalent) captive audience portion of this group vacation. They sneak it in a day into the trip so that you aren’t immediately scared off!
I'm an old geezer, circa 1954, and I'm really enjoying this video. You're destroying my favorite infomercial, and I'm right there with you. This ad is so over the top, and the characters are so broad, and it's hilarious! I also love the "3 second" countdown. Just counting to 3 while actually blending 9-10+. No dirty pots or pans, but 200 Magic Bullet blending cups. Thank you for the laughs. Can't wait for the next one.
My mom has a magic bullet but it broke so now we just use it as a water cup. Surprised that with the 1000 uses they listed the one we use it for isn't featured
My personal lore for this infomercial is they were spiked with acid on a cruise by a disgruntled teen, they're all strangers and none of this is real its all in their head. They're just trashing the kitchen at 4am
Y’all don’t understand… my childhood friend and I RECORDED this on VHS 💀 We thought it was the funniest thing ever and would watch it over and over. I love this. This takes me back. ❤
Oh, I understand. I would stop what I was doing when I came across it on TV and watch it every time. I fantasized about having a custom playset with the actors as action figures.
I love that one of the selling points is that it takes up no more space than a (ridiculously large) coffee mug, but by the end of the commercial there's a whole countertop full of accessories.
It's like the infomercial for Ronco's Six-Star Showtime Knife Series; someone in the comments joked that the show started with Ron throwing a drawer full of kitchen knives in the trash (i.e. "these suck, use mine instead!"), but by the time it ends his own knife set is *25 pieces* big So he replaced a drawer full of knives, with a drawer full of knives.
Hazel's smoke with the long ash that never falls even though she's flailing that thing around like a tennis racket being held with her mouth, is the best part of her for me.
I'm of the right age to have watched this with friends on several hungover Sunday mornings. We were absolutely convinced that this was the awkward morning after a swinger party where these people had all swapped partners, and some of them were regretting it.
Imagine waking up from an awesome night of passionately hugging the masses, craving breakfast and having to sit through a 30 minute demonstration by someone stuck inside an MLM instead of you.
the dumb blonde is the female hosts younger sister, who was having trouble with her husband. they concocted a plan to throw a swinger party to spice up their love life & have some fun, and the host couple took it as an opportunity to stage a brunch demonstration of their newest patent. it didn't save the marriage.
I love these commercials. The bold promises, the bland looking food, the amount of character that is injected into the skeptical older women, absolute perfection.
This is cleary the morning after a swinger party, minus the bacon and the one tense couple with a parner that broke their pre-party "no kissing" rule 😂
My god i remember this saga. As an adult all i can think is this is set in a sober living house and one of the freshly clean addicts is in a manic mood right when the magic bullet he ordered arrived.
Hazel is basically when your small town high school drama teacher tells the class that there will be a substitute the next day and then shows up “in character” for an entire day
@@MinttMeringueit still exists I don’t have a magic bullet and actually plan on getting the baby bullet lol it also comes with baby food cups and stuff
27:45 I'm convinced she's actually the voice of reason since even she couldn't comprehend how the hell those two pasta dishes suddenly appeared out of thin air.
I might be insane but I would DEVOUR this lol like I'm a sucker for pâtés and this would go so well with sourdough bread... just don't call it a salad! A bit of sweet from the raisins, a bit of salty from mayo and chicken, I think it would be delicious!
How has Matteo never heard of mint chocolate. I want a follow-up video where he loses his shit over the concept of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich or any other incredibly common popular combo.
Im one of the people that actually bought one of these, I specifically asked for it and nothing else for like my 8th birthday. In defense of the magic bullet, I used it all the time! It had a bunch of different cups and sizes and it did blend really well, but it really was no different than any other blender at the time lol I stayed home sick a lot and this was literally my favorite thing to watch 😂 it really lived up to the hype in my 8 year old eyes, but the worst part was cleaning the cups!
I wanted one so bad. I asked for it for Christmas every year from 12 to like 15. I never got my magic bullet and now that I have a ninja bullet I don't use it nearly that often
You just rinsed it out and then put water and a bit of dish soap in the cup, pop the blade on and blend. Takes care of most of the cleaning. I usually only needed to hit it with a sponge real quick after that and rinse. But I was 10 so maybe age gave me wisdom. Altho I still have a magic bullet always. And it's always the brand too. Lmao 🤣 I am loyal. But it is all because of those commercials. The whole series of them. Altho by time baby bullet came out I had a life. Was too old. But they got a customer for life from those crazy ass infomercials.
I was so onboard with the "I think this is the most disgusting" bit. Blending up hard candy would undoubtedly just leave shards of crunchy dust in your milkshake. And then the throws in "peppermint in my chocolate, ew". Never have I been more disappointed. Choc+Mint is a magical combination.
I love Matteo Lane!!! I did not expect this crossover!!! As someone with a sister 10 years older than me (she's a millenial and I'm gen z), this perfectly captured the intergenerational bantering dynamic. Also great to see 2 people in different spheres of comedy collab. Artists support other artists!
I've gotten used to the accents from just... hearing a bunch of people talk, but a lot of people in North America seem to get thrown off by English accents that aren't from the London area. I'm not familiar enough to know the specific place in north England that he's from, but I can definitely hear that his accent doesn't have that "twang" that Australian vowel sounds have.
Fun story, my neighbor broke into my house via my bedroom window at 2 am while the Magic Bullet infomercial was on my bedroom tv, and i got woken up by the sound of the windown unit AC in my room being knocked onto the floor in my room. I was like 9. This just gave me a bit of a flashback to that moment but watching you guys make jokes about the infomercial makes me feel so much better about it. It's kinda therapitic. Thank you.
@@VoteOrDie99 What did they do, though? Were they just shuffling around the room? Did they go anywhere else in the house? Did they SAY anything? Did they just leave immediately???
@@penguinsrbirds2 actually there wasn't enought time for anything to really happen. The guy entered through the window in my room, and because he had to knock down the window AC unit to get in, and it was in my room, on the floor, the loud noise had me woken up (but this ad was on my bedroom TV, my bedroom light was on, my brother who I shared my room with at the time was awake and my bedroom door was open cus my brother was coming in and out, so by the time the dude entered fully, I was up and awake. Guy entered via window, saw that I was VERY alert, he was desperately begging for me to not yell, and screamed like a banshee. Within seconds, literally, my parents were in my room (we live in a small place, and my bedroom door was already open before any of this happened), and kicked the guy out via the same window he came in. My landlord was his landlord too, and he got kicked out I think Within a day or 2 (I was 9 so idk what exactly happened after the event). But I'll always remember, this EXACT long infomercial was on the TV when all of this happened.
Also…I used to visualize the reason for Berman looking so rough and Hazel coming down in a good mood, is that Berman snuck out of Hazel’s bedroom late last night.
This felt like a very short 37 minutes, I was laughing the whole time and trying to figure out the hidden lore of the magic bullet infomercial mystery family
For me this infomercial feels like summer nights in my family's basement trying to beat the heat and trying to find something to watch at 2am, so thank you for that. Also I can't get over how they pretend it can shred cheese, and chop garlic in the same batch. So either the cheese is getting chopped or the garlic is getting shredded. That's just how physics works.
This has major Michael and Jan dinner vibes. They trapped these people into breakfast to try and make them invest in her husband's alien smoothie machine business. "And for only 10.000 dollars you can get in this amazing business opportunity with us!".
At 2:15, he says, “What about a bit of the hair of the dog that bit you?” which literally means, “Would you like to treat your hangover by drinking more of the same stuff that caused it?”
The "hair of the dog that bit you" means a remedy for something that contains a small amount of what caused the ailment. It's an idiom most often used to reference drinking a little bit to cure a hangover
Okay, the mixture they are trying to make at 19:40 is meant to be a variation of a Coronation Chicken, which is chicken mixed with mayo, often a yoghurt, raisins, apples and chicken with curry powder. We often eat it in the UK as a sandwich filler, was made to apparently celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II.
I have literally seen this thing dozens of times and it left a magic bullet sized hole in my psyche for years. As a kid watching infomercials late at night I was completely unaware how much stuff was just being glued to my brain until it gets referenced like this. I had no intention of ever buying this crap yet I would watch a freaking tv sitcom length ad every time it came on.
I remember this informercial so clearly, it was the only one at the time that was shot like it was "real people" interacting w each other? Instead of somebody trying to directly sell to you. It was definitely more watchable for a 10yr old on a sunday afternoon when nothing else was going on
OMG your comment just bring back memories. 😂 I used to watch shopping channel for hours cause there's nothing else to watch. I'm not in English speaking country and these kind of infomercials got dubbed in the most absurd ways, it's ALWAYS hilarious.
7:30 The fucking WHAT? I can guarantee you that that is the worst fucking tasting coffee, the particles size is going to be all over the place! How dare they advertise that shit?
Me and my sister still say hallapeeno because of this infomercial! There was also a sequel where they reveal the older woman and the balding guy slept together 🤯
I am 28 and remember seeing this infomercial a million zellion times when I was a kid. To the point that whenever my mom or I saw it on TV, we would call each other to the room to watch this. It was usually at night, so I would be up and my mom is watching TV in her room and she would call out to me and we would just watch it. We made fun of it and just enjoyed it. This unlocked such a core memory lol
This is THE classic! I'm Dutch and me and my friends used to ironically watch this all the time back in the 2000s. Matteo is right on the money, this is the pinnacle of infomercials
+ "it really cuts the fat!" Ron then proceeds to betray everything the Rotisserie stood for with his 5-In-1 Fryer, which makes your food unhealthier, is ridiculously complicated to operate, and given how dangerous it is you can't "set it and forget it."
Matteo's horror at combining chocolate and peppermint confused me. Chocolate and mint are a holy combination. The Andes mints are the only reason to go to olive garden
@@davidfc7136 in his defense who the fuck makes it by tossing in hard peppermint candy and blending it? (also too much mint makes me nauseous so i get it)
I love Matteo. Stand up comedians have this reputation of being elitists, fuck anything but stand up sorta deal. Not him, he finds humour and sees value in Gabi’s channel, and adds his comedic chops to her content. Love the guy. Gabi’s dope. Took my mind off things for 30 minutes, A+.
Millennial here. I have countless memories of seeing this infomercial late at night during summer vacations growing up, and just enjoying how amazing and terrible it is all at once. Thank you guys for unlocking that part of my childhood again. 😂
Dude this was my friend and I’s oldest inside joke, no one else I’ve talked to has ever seen it. We would watch it whenever we were up past 1am during sleepovers and always thought of it like a shared fever dream. What were they thinking, they’re crazy, I love them
Okay I might get hate but that chicken salad recipe wasn’t too bad either…the ingredients were right (just need to add some more), just not when it’s blended to a juice!!!
Y'all being so flabbergasted by the chicken salad is sending me 😂😂 I don't like raisins in mine but I usually do ground chicken, mayo, apples/grapes, and celery. I would never blend it all together but I do use a blender to chop the chicken cause I'm lazy and it's good! It really doesn't taste as weird as it seems lol
i know and they harp on it soooo long and are so mean about it 😭 like ok we get it you've never heard of chicken salad even tho it's fairly common in the US move on already lmao
Maybe chicken salad has fallen out of fashion but I just saw chicken apple sausage at the grocery store today. There's no excuse for being surprised at such a normal combination of flavors 😂
the thing that pissed me off about these things 'saving time' chopping things IS THAT YOU NEED A KNIFE TO MAKE SEVERAL OF THESE INGREDIENTS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN THERE. SO YOURE MAKING MORE DISHES THAN IF YOU JUST USED A KNIFE.
I’m aware social media’s zapped my attention span,but LORD! It felt like three hours of gushing with desperate enthusiasm, racing to demonstrate, and explain theSAME THING over and over!Like ANOTHER amazing recipe?! Oh, GOD, it’s like Groundhog Day with a looping pop song AAAAUUGGHH!!! Give me a MAGIC BULLET to the head and end this everlasting infomercial!!!🫣🔫
The dream collab I didn't know I needed!! I enjoyed watching Matteo's live stand-up show, it's so great to see you two talk about a cursed infomercial from my childhood 😂
the fact that one of my fave commentary youtubers and one of my fave comedians have come together to make a video has me losing my MIND in the best way
I cannot handle this slander, I was born a few years after the “cut off” for Hazel to be a gay icon and lemme tell you for a preteen gay Hazel was the light that shone in the darkness and made the cool glow of CRT-TV a warm light that touched my face and told me it would be okay. Truly great video. The magic bullet infomercial truly is thirty percent of my personality and I am so happy to see you and another knowledgeable soul of art could dive in to this beautiful piece of early 2000’s
You need to look up the Amazing Discoveries series of infomercials. I’m a few years older than Mateo, so they might have been before his time. All of them are insane!
If you're into bullies... Literally all they did was spent the entire time mocking the actors, mocking the ingredients, mocking the idea. Then said "I liked it, I'll watch it again"
I cannot believe how heavily I must have repressed my memory of this. It had been fully purged from my memory until I saw the thumbnail featuring Hazel, and it woke me up like a damn sleeper agent or something
I watched the hell out of this infomercial when i was a kid and I bought the magic bullet with my christmas money. It came with a recipe book that included how many seconds you were meant to blend each thing. I have to hand it to them, though, because i still have that magic bullet and it still works!
It’s been 20 years… and I still don’t know if the Magic Bullet infomercial took place at a bed & breakfast or the morning after a swingers party.
There's enough pineapples to read between the lines
with all those fruits theres a pineapple in there
You cracked the code.
I always thought they had some sort of party the night before with the way people were dragging their asses into the kitchen, and a swingers party definitely makes the most sense. Possibly at a resort! Because who would have that ungodly amount of fruit??
It has the exact vibe right away of “all these people just had sex with each other” and there’s like 20 people
None of them are related and they’re all touchling each other
the best part of this is that "magic bullet" absolutely sounds like a sex toy
certainly gives credibility to the swinger allegations
spencers has a toy called pussy power 💀 i dont doubt they got their own magic bullet too
I mean, anything can be a sex toy if you're brave or relaxed enough.
Also, I was like #69.
But wait a min!!!
There actually is a sex toy called a “silver bullet” and there are definitely people who get those confused
Mateo just casually whipping out his hot foreign boytoy to roast the salsa was the best thing actually
Such a flex wtf
That's his husband 😂
what an absolute heartthrob. im so happy for matteo and so jealous of him
@@miss_elaineous_How does that change what they said from being true 🤓
“Mateo we have better taste then that” Rodrigo sounded soo disappointed omg
I like to imagine this is set the morning after a wild swingers party and everyone is avoiding the awkward tension by hyper fixating on a crappy blender

This was literally the conclusion I had drawn before I came to the comments section to see if I was the only one. I think we’re besties now. Like contractually, I think that’s how it works. ❤😂
I mean… every swingers party has at least one magic bullet.
I mean… that’s not exactly off the mark from the later episodes
This infomercial was so popular there were multiple sequels including the whole gang on vacation, a surprise fling and a camping trip. There's a Magic Bullet Cinematic Universe. Yes I'm serious.
They have to do a magic bullet seriessss
And, in the vacation episode, it is suggested that Hazel and Vern sleep together! No joke.
Yes! It’s amazing That it’s basically a series
I'm getting Long Man vibes from that, but worse.
Don't forget the baby bullet baby shower video
Even here in the Netherlands it was always on tv. “Bob’s your uncle, Beck is your aunt” has been blueberry cemented in my brain ever since.
I love them blending foods to a pulp to make recipes that are supposed to have separate but combined distinct ingredients lol
Everything is sludge.
Like their blending their own paints. Gotta have all the colors. 😰
Like, Alfredo could make sense, but salsa? Blueberry muffins? Omelettes???
@@gracel2martIn defense, I kinda like super blended salsa
@@gracel2martas someone who hates chunks of fruit in baked goods, the blended muffins are kind of a vibe. Though I would probably turn the blueberries into a syrup and swirl it.

right! i have one and i actually love it. I'd defend it with my life
I'm 40 & I've never seen this infomercial before today.
I refused to fall for it for ever, but a couple years ago mom got a nutribullet.... Now I have one. I loved it.
I'm 27 and I watched this every Sunday
I was going to write this, I'm 30 and from Denmark, this was my 'I refuse to go to school'-TV infomercial 😂. I have seen it way too much!
I like that him offering him a smoothie and saying “how about a bit of the hair of the dog that bit ya” kind of implies he was hungover from smoothies lol
or that there’s alcohol in the smoothie
@@resident-evil-jerma5389 Either way, he IS drunk, somehow.

You just rinsed it out and then put water and a bit of dish soap in the cup, pop the blade on and blend. Takes care of most of the cleaning. I usually only needed to hit it with a sponge real quick after that and rinse. But I was 10 so maybe age gave me wisdom. Altho I still have a magic bullet always. And it's always the brand too. Lmao 🤣 I am loyal. But it is all because of those commercials. The whole series of them. Altho by time baby bullet came out I had a life. Was too old. But they got a customer for life from those crazy ass infomercials.
I was so onboard with the "I think this is the most disgusting" bit. Blending up hard candy would undoubtedly just leave shards of crunchy dust in your milkshake.
And then the throws in "peppermint in my chocolate, ew". Never have I been more disappointed. Choc+Mint is a magical combination.
That was so weird because it's legit one of the most popular flavor combinations in the entire world and he was acting like it was unfathomable lmao.
Maybe i'm just high but I laughed so hard when Gabi insisted upon calling an omelette an egg smoothie
I love Matteo Lane!!! I did not expect this crossover!!! As someone with a sister 10 years older than me (she's a millenial and I'm gen z), this perfectly captured the intergenerational bantering dynamic. Also great to see 2 people in different spheres of comedy collab. Artists support other artists!
We had this ad in Australia too and as an Australian I want to tell you that man doesn’t have an Australian accent, it’s British 😅
I think it's because he's northern, that's what threw them off 😂
I've gotten used to the accents from just... hearing a bunch of people talk, but a lot of people in North America seem to get thrown off by English accents that aren't from the London area.
I'm not familiar enough to know the specific place in north England that he's from, but I can definitely hear that his accent doesn't have that "twang" that Australian vowel sounds have.
Fun story, my neighbor broke into my house via my bedroom window at 2 am while the Magic Bullet infomercial was on my bedroom tv, and i got woken up by the sound of the windown unit AC in my room being knocked onto the floor in my room. I was like 9. This just gave me a bit of a flashback to that moment but watching you guys make jokes about the infomercial makes me feel so much better about it. It's kinda therapitic. Thank you.
why he do that tho
@sharkcuddles-bq2jl I still don't know to this day. I've wondered the same. 16 years later and still I don't know.

@@VoteOrDie99 What did they do, though? Were they just shuffling around the room? Did they go anywhere else in the house? Did they SAY anything? Did they just leave immediately???
@@penguinsrbirds2 actually there wasn't enought time for anything to really happen. The guy entered through the window in my room, and because he had to knock down the window AC unit to get in, and it was in my room, on the floor, the loud noise had me woken up (but this ad was on my bedroom TV, my bedroom light was on, my brother who I shared my room with at the time was awake and my bedroom door was open cus my brother was coming in and out, so by the time the dude entered fully, I was up and awake. Guy entered via window, saw that I was VERY alert, he was desperately begging for me to not yell, and screamed like a banshee. Within seconds, literally, my parents were in my room (we live in a small place, and my bedroom door was already open before any of this happened), and kicked the guy out via the same window he came in. My landlord was his landlord too, and he got kicked out I think Within a day or 2 (I was 9 so idk what exactly happened after the event). But I'll always remember, this EXACT long infomercial was on the TV when all of this happened.
It's not just an infomercial, it's a piece of history.
Also…I used to visualize the reason for Berman looking so rough and Hazel coming down in a good mood, is that Berman snuck out of Hazel’s bedroom late last night.
This felt like a very short 37 minutes, I was laughing the whole time and trying to figure out the hidden lore of the magic bullet infomercial mystery family
For me this infomercial feels like summer nights in my family's basement trying to beat the heat and trying to find something to watch at 2am, so thank you for that. Also I can't get over how they pretend it can shred cheese, and chop garlic in the same batch. So either the cheese is getting chopped or the garlic is getting shredded. That's just how physics works.
I died when Rodrigo was like "beans".
So polite and sweet ❤😂
I still remember being high as hell watching this ridiculous infomercial at like 3 am at my friends house and thinking it was hilariously insane
I’m not even high and I’m thinking the same thing
Same
Being a stoned teenager hanging out with their bff at 3am watching the Magic Bullet infomercial is honestly one of my most treasured experiences. 😂🤣
This has major Michael and Jan dinner vibes. They trapped these people into breakfast to try and make them invest in her husband's alien smoothie machine business. "And for only 10.000 dollars you can get in this amazing business opportunity with us!".
This is exactly what I was thinking! Like this is how they rope all their hungover friends into a “business opportunity”! 🤣🤣
At 2:15, he says, “What about a bit of the hair of the dog that bit you?” which literally means, “Would you like to treat your hangover by drinking more of the same stuff that caused it?”
The "hair of the dog that bit you" means a remedy for something that contains a small amount of what caused the ailment. It's an idiom most often used to reference drinking a little bit to cure a hangover
Only alcoholics need one, why isn't somebody helping him?
Also, isn't hair of the dog a commonly known thing?
we just call it repairing where I'm from lol
@@aud7593 Ireland?
canadian and have never heard of this saying
@@smalltime0 Yeah I dont' think it's the idiom as much as the weird delivery.
This infomercial gave me life. We didn't have cable, so I would watch the infomercial channel when I was sick
We HAD cable and I'd watch the infomercial channel when I was sick.
I’ve found my people
@@rebeccacruikshank1048 Welcome home
I was so autistically in love with this infomercial as a kid that I would SEARCH for it late at night to watch until I fell asleep.
Okay, the mixture they are trying to make at 19:40 is meant to be a variation of a Coronation Chicken, which is chicken mixed with mayo, often a yoghurt, raisins, apples and chicken with curry powder. We often eat it in the UK as a sandwich filler, was made to apparently celebrate the coronation of Elizabeth II.
I would wake up early every Sunday morning just to watch the entire magic bullet infomercial 😭 I had all the dialogue memorized lmao
THE COLLAB WE DIDNT KNOW WE NEEDED AND DONT DESERVE!!!!!! (love matteo)
This infomercial just wouldn’t go away. It was on late night and seemingly took up whole hour blocks.
And time life
I have literally seen this thing dozens of times and it left a magic bullet sized hole in my psyche for years. As a kid watching infomercials late at night I was completely unaware how much stuff was just being glued to my brain until it gets referenced like this. I had no intention of ever buying this crap yet I would watch a freaking tv sitcom length ad every time it came on.
I remember this informercial so clearly, it was the only one at the time that was shot like it was "real people" interacting w each other? Instead of somebody trying to directly sell to you. It was definitely more watchable for a 10yr old on a sunday afternoon when nothing else was going on
OMG your comment just bring back memories. 😂 I used to watch shopping channel for hours cause there's nothing else to watch.
I'm not in English speaking country and these kind of infomercials got dubbed in the most absurd ways, it's ALWAYS hilarious.
7:30 The fucking WHAT? I can guarantee you that that is the worst fucking tasting coffee, the particles size is going to be all over the place! How dare they advertise that shit?
Me and my sister still say hallapeeno because of this infomercial! There was also a sequel where they reveal the older woman and the balding guy slept together 🤯
I am 28 and remember seeing this infomercial a million zellion times when I was a kid. To the point that whenever my mom or I saw it on TV, we would call each other to the room to watch this. It was usually at night, so I would be up and my mom is watching TV in her room and she would call out to me and we would just watch it. We made fun of it and just enjoyed it. This unlocked such a core memory lol
I want Matteo to narrate literally everything in my life
This is THE classic! I'm Dutch and me and my friends used to ironically watch this all the time back in the 2000s. Matteo is right on the money, this is the pinnacle of infomercials
Magic Bullet's weird sitcom infomercial is still gold 😂
My personal favorite was the Ron Popiel Showtime Rotisserie with the slogan, “Set it and Forget it”.
+ "it really cuts the fat!"
Ron then proceeds to betray everything the Rotisserie stood for with his 5-In-1 Fryer, which makes your food unhealthier, is ridiculously complicated to operate, and given how dangerous it is you can't "set it and forget it."
Matteo's horror at combining chocolate and peppermint confused me. Chocolate and mint are a holy combination. The Andes mints are the only reason to go to olive garden
I was thinking the same thing, isn't it a common pairing?
@@davidfc7136 in his defense who the fuck makes it by tossing in hard peppermint candy and blending it?
(also too much mint makes me nauseous so i get it)
“In ONE….TWO………THREE S E C O N D SSSSS” that’s like 10 seconds
A SQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEZZZZEE OF MayYOoO
I just your channel Gabi and I’ve been binge watching them. Now you have Matteo Lane on your channel! Love this. You create such great content.
I love Matteo. Stand up comedians have this reputation of being elitists, fuck anything but stand up sorta deal. Not him, he finds humour and sees value in Gabi’s channel, and adds his comedic chops to her content. Love the guy. Gabi’s dope. Took my mind off things for 30 minutes, A+.
They really hype the food up, then it's just sludge everytime 😭 Also please collab with Matteo again, you're both favs of mine!
Yeah, I don't want my muffins or omelette blended - I want them mixed... It's so weird.
33:02 bro have you ever had a candy cane in your hot chocolate? Like why is he soooo shocked and disgusted? It’s a very basic flavour combination
There's a parallel universe where everyone is fine with pineapples on pizza but is horrified at putting cranberry sauce on thanksgiving turkey
The crossover I least expected but am most hyped for, the hair plug king is here!
Millennial here. I have countless memories of seeing this infomercial late at night during summer vacations growing up, and just enjoying how amazing and terrible it is all at once. Thank you guys for unlocking that part of my childhood again. 😂
11:30 Anne Heche (RIP) Meg Ryan, Halle Berry, Gwyneth Paltrow, friggin' Kate Gosling AND MORE celebrities rocked that atrocious hairstyle!
My head canon, they're all swingers at a weekend getaway
Why is that so strongly the vibe here lmao it’s what I always thought too
Swingers waking up after a wild night.
The best part is imaging Hazel's role in the orgy!
Dude this was my friend and I’s oldest inside joke, no one else I’ve talked to has ever seen it. We would watch it whenever we were up past 1am during sleepovers and always thought of it like a shared fever dream. What were they thinking, they’re crazy, I love them
13:26 felt like the infomercial from the Cat in the Hat
Anything?
Anything.
Matteo's sheer outrage at the idea of peppermint mint and chocolate is absurd. They're a natural duo!
Mint and chocolate is a better combo than chocolate and peanut butter.
@@jeremyross9698woah woah woah let's not get carried away nothing makes a better combo then peanut butter and chocolate 😂
@@seanla38 I disagree, but I respect your opinion. I'm lukewarm on peanut butter. Even though it has the word 'butt' in it.
Yeah I love Matteo but he’s simply wrong on that one 😂
Okay I might get hate but that chicken salad recipe wasn’t too bad either…the ingredients were right (just need to add some more), just not when it’s blended to a juice!!!
Y'all being so flabbergasted by the chicken salad is sending me 😂😂 I don't like raisins in mine but I usually do ground chicken, mayo, apples/grapes, and celery. I would never blend it all together but I do use a blender to chop the chicken cause I'm lazy and it's good! It really doesn't taste as weird as it seems lol
i know and they harp on it soooo long and are so mean about it 😭 like ok we get it you've never heard of chicken salad even tho it's fairly common in the US move on already lmao
Maybe chicken salad has fallen out of fashion but I just saw chicken apple sausage at the grocery store today. There's no excuse for being surprised at such a normal combination of flavors 😂
My thoughts exactly! I've also had the chicken apple sausages too and they're hella good. Chicken and apples just sorta work together for some reason
The magic bullet can chop chicken if you tap it instead of turning on regular run
Ditto. It's extremely common. Though I prefer yogurt over mayo.
This infomercial has always cracked me up from the cringe.
the thing that pissed me off about these things 'saving time' chopping things IS THAT YOU NEED A KNIFE TO MAKE SEVERAL OF THESE INGREDIENTS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN THERE. SO YOURE MAKING MORE DISHES THAN IF YOU JUST USED A KNIFE.
Oh man spending summers getting baked and watching 8 hours of infomercials, that ausie dude/wife combo were all over the place.
I’m aware social media’s zapped my attention span,but LORD! It felt like three hours of gushing with desperate enthusiasm, racing to demonstrate, and explain theSAME THING over and over!Like ANOTHER amazing recipe?! Oh, GOD, it’s like Groundhog Day with a looping pop song AAAAUUGGHH!!! Give me a MAGIC BULLET to the head and end this everlasting infomercial!!!🫣🔫
This infomercial was the best sitcom of the 2000s. Everyone who couldnt sleep has seen this multiple times.
The ingredients used to make that chicken salad deserved a better fate.
I love how well Matteo has this infomercial memorized
"Why are they rushing?"
Me: they did break into these people's home.
That was so cool and I like how you all show how crazy Info commercial really was so thank you for posting this
The dream collab I didn't know I needed!! I enjoyed watching Matteo's live stand-up show, it's so great to see you two talk about a cursed infomercial from my childhood 😂
“This is the beginning of two girls one cup” “This is how to make different types of glue”
This man is hilarious 🤣🥰
I LOVE THIS! This was one of my favorite infomercials at the time. I've seen this a zillion times. Now a zillion+1!
I recently randomly saw Matteos comedy special and loved it! And this is definately an unexpected collab!
the fact that one of my fave commentary youtubers and one of my fave comedians have come together to make a video has me losing my MIND in the best way
2:42 CLEARLY this is a swinger's party
Definitely a crossover I never expected. But I needed.
I cannot handle this slander, I was born a few years after the “cut off” for Hazel to be a gay icon and lemme tell you for a preteen gay Hazel was the light that shone in the darkness and made the cool glow of CRT-TV a warm light that touched my face and told me it would be okay.
Truly great video. The magic bullet infomercial truly is thirty percent of my personality and I am so happy to see you and another knowledgeable soul of art could dive in to this beautiful piece of early 2000’s
You need to look up the Amazing Discoveries series of infomercials. I’m a few years older than Mateo, so they might have been before his time. All of them are insane!
Why have I watched this like 20 times? Why is this so entertaining?
This commentary on infomercials is just amazing.
It really is. Lol 😂❤
If you're into bullies...
Literally all they did was spent the entire time mocking the actors, mocking the ingredients, mocking the idea. Then said "I liked it, I'll watch it again"
OMG...I thought I was the only one who was watching this for the fourth time! 😮
17:21 Rodrigo said 1000 words in two head nods
I cannot believe how heavily I must have repressed my memory of this. It had been fully purged from my memory until I saw the thumbnail featuring Hazel, and it woke me up like a damn sleeper agent or something
I watched the hell out of this infomercial when i was a kid and I bought the magic bullet with my christmas money. It came with a recipe book that included how many seconds you were meant to blend each thing. I have to hand it to them, though, because i still have that magic bullet and it still works!
