We cut the cord years ago, so we don’t see many commercials. I forgot how absurd infomercials and “as seen on TV” commercials are. Oh, sure, infomercial fails are a funny thing.

This morning, while watching SportsCenter at my brother’s house, I realized how bonkers Infomercial successes are.

Take, for example, the Atomic Beam “tactical” flashlight.

That’s right. It’s a flashlight you can use in your fryer. Just what everyone needs. I seriously want to know how they came up with the idea of testing this.

But this isn’t the only product that has these absurd successes. How often do you see things get run over by trucks or set on fire to prove their worth.
