This has to be one of the greatest infomercials of all time. Where else can you get to see 30 year old actors trying to play teenage boys. I guess all it takes is a striped shirt and messy hair to pull off the 14-year-old man-child look. I wish I could have been at the casting call for this one. It must have gone something like this:

Ok, so you're 31-years-old and this part calls for a 14-year-old..... do you own a striped shirt?

Yes I do.

Do you own a hair brush?

No I don't.

You've got the part.

But forget about man-child #1, let's fast forward to 11 seconds in, where we're introduced to man-child #2.. What the hell is this kid playing? In what world to people play strange looking airplane games from the early 1990's? Infomercial World, that's where.

And why would his internet connection affect his weird little game? I guess only mommy knows the answer to that one. Excellent acting. I guess we all have to start somewhere.

I think this infomercial holds the record for most frustrated acting people in one two-minute span, a whopping six. That's unheard of.

Finally at about 25 seconds in, the fast-paced techno music starts playing, letting us know it's time to buy some crap.

Also the classic "nodding head of disapproval" changes to the "nodding head of approval." This is a staple of any infomercial and is the first thing taught in infomercial 101B.



Let's take a look at 1:38 in. What the hell is he talking on? Is that really supposed to be a phone? It looks more like a glasses case, or a business card holder, or maybe just a rectangular piece of plastic someone found on their way over to the set.

Well, at least he has a kick-ass Ferrari poster in the background. What a cool man-child.

Thanks Finally Fast!
