Should you buy a ShamWow to wash your car? Consumer Reports says, "No!" Instead, apply the suds with a large, soft natural sponge or a lamb's-wool mitt. Then use a natural or synthetic chamois or terry cloth towels. [Consumer Reports] More »
—>There's this new towel technology that Steve here is showing off, and it's got us pretty impressed. We may have finally found something to replace all of our ShamWows. More »
—> Fresh off the success of the Slap Chop remix, DJ Steve Porter has remixed another of Vince's commercials into an auto-tuned, flat-topped masterpiece. More »
—>We'll probably never be able to get those mug shots out of our minds when we see crazy old Vince hawking things on TV, but this amazing remix comes in a close second at searing itself into the brain. "You're gonna love my nuts" is particularly well done. More »
—>Vince takes the ShamWow to a whole new level, as he tries to sell his famous macroshammy in Spanish. Yes, Spanish, a language he is not fluent in, a fact that becomes abundantly clear in this video. You'll note there are far fewer shots of his face than in the original. However, he still has that exact same sideways grimace and contorted eyebrows thing going on. Must be something he perfected after long hours staring into a seedy hotel room mirror. UPDATE: And here's Vince trying to sell the SlapChop in Spanish! More »
—>Let me just be totally honest with you and tell you that you do not want to see these photos. We know, of course, that you are going to click over to The Smoking Gun and look at them, but you'd been warned. They are horrible. We've included the tamest photo inside. More »
—>The people behind the new Smart Mop infomercial have clearly studied the success of the ShamWow guy, and they've taken the infomercial genre to a new level of silliness. Their new ad is so ridiculous that it seems designed more for YouTube than primetime, but since it's funny and entertaining (for an infomercial) we'll take the bait and post it. More »
—>Slap chop to the face! Vince Shlomi, aka the ShamWow Guy, aka You're Gonna Love My Nuts, was "arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room," reports the Smoking Gun. More »
—>See, this is why you let experts like Consumer Reports or Captain Duvel Moneycat handle product testing. Kevin and Olivia from G4's AOTS decide to have a Sham-Wow/Zorbeez faceoff to see which one works best. All we can say is maybe they shouldn't have used so much fake vomit. Oh, and apparently both products smell bad when they're wet. More »

—>The economy is 'sploding so that means it's infomercial mating season. Prices for airtime are dropping as bigger advertisers pull their spots, so the Billy Mays of the world are now getting slots during 30 Rock commercial breaks. At the same time, more people are watching TV because they don't have money to go out and it helps anesthetize them to the pain of reality. Thus, the rise of the ShamWow and the Snuggie, a super slurping sponge cloth, and a blanket with arms, respectively. Let's take a closer look. More »
