Why do infomercials have annoying Australian guys?

[GRLMGC]

Is it the same guy? Why can't the guy from the Magic Bullet commercial pronounce Nachos?

1. "A frosty MOOG for everyone!"

Is he Aussie or Brit? Annoying in any nationality, anyhow.

[GRLMGC]

2. I don't know

but I want to kick him in the balls.

[Bluebear]

3. I'll sit on him for you

[CanuckAmok]

4. I'm going to guess "because there's no other kind of Australian guy" n/t

[LiberalFighter]

5. Because the people that watch the infocommercials are stupid??

[GRLMGC]

8. Did you just call me stupid?

I watch them when I'm bored because they're so stupid, they're funny. It's not like I'd ever buy anything.

[LiberalFighter]

13. OK..... let me clarify... watch the infocommercials and buy the stuff???

Of course the producers of those shows rely on the old saying... "A sucker born every minute"

[GRLMGC]

14. Well, it's so obvious the products are going to be crappy

Otherwise, why wouldn't they just sell them through a reputable seller?

[LiberalFighter]

15. Make it more difficult for consumers to get their money back?

[GRLMGC]

16. Exactly

If it was a good product, you shouldn't have to worry about people demanding their money back

[blm]

6. The Murdochization of the planet.

7. Annoying accents grab our attention

9. I'm British, but I will happily admit that the most annoying foreign info-

mercial dude EVER was the British guy that shilled those ridiculous iron-cord holders, which made everyone's ironing SOOOOO much easier /dripping sarcasm

Of course, the most annoying infomericalfucker in the history of the universe is, and will always be, Billy Mays.

10. Oxy Clean.....cleans clothes AND makes you an obnoxious lout!

[DS1]

11. It can clean the shit that falls behind your washer, but can't reach..

UNTIL YOU GET SUPERGRABBER!!!

/Must yell to imitate Billy Mays

[Bluebear]

12. AND IT REALLY REALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!
