We may be breaking our rules here; however, this is one dandy television infomercial. This guy is frivolous:
- He wears a white buttoned all the way to the tippy-top!
- His maniacal laugh.
- 16 seconds in, we hear him fall off his car whilst off-screen. (Whilst, whilst, whilst, whilst).
- “Insert finger here.” Later on, “Insert two fingers here.”
No one in their right mind would have such zest whilst selling clam earrings, earrings made from the same metal material as those crumby, made-in-China rings you buy from the gumball machine for 50¢.
Whilst talking to a guy off-screen, he begins his ventriloquist lip-syncing act. Riotous!
Oh, but how I love the lavender picture-in-picture that frames he whilst the close-up of the clam earrings hang on screen. This spring, oh have I longed, and whilst longing, I have looked for thee, and now I have found the ne plus ultra picture-in-picture infomercial where a frivolous guy deals clam shell earrings at DOOR BUSTER prices.
The ultimate highlight of this spot is when the riotous guy demonstrates a ‘how to: insert earrings into your ear.’ I love this guy … come to think, I wouldn’t mind being an infomercial dude who sells clam shell earrings. As a matter of fact, I would probably model myself after this guy. Wow, this guy is really great. I hope he reads this. I wonder how many earrings he sold that day. Thousands.
