One of the perks of my job is the ability to be awake and sitting in a place full of TVs while most of the sane world is asleep.

Wait that’s not really a perk. Scratch that. Because I’m awake at a time when virtually everyone is asleep, the programming on TV when I’m at work is an interesting sort. Some play movies you have forgotten about (and rightly so), while others let you take a trip into the glories of your childhood with gems like Full House, The Cosby Show and Home Improvement.

The rest just play informercials, which can be quite a source of entertainment when you are sleep-deprived. There’s the guy selling his book on how you can eschew modern medicine and cure just about anything by changing your diet. He’s traveled the world and interviewed more than 5,000 medical professionals, doing the legwork so you can just get the book for a better life.

I caught a new one this weekend for a guy selling knives. It was visually the most spectacular bit of television I’ve ever seen. It was a close-up shot of a spinning table packed with 10 different pocket knives. And that’s it. You never see the guy, or even a different angle of the knives. Just the set spinning around and around and around. But it was this guy’s passion for the product that really set this one apart. He kept describing how exremely rare each knife was.

“This one right here, that I know of, there were only like 2,000 of them made. Well that I know of,” he says. I can think of a lot of things that I’ve made only once. That doesn’t mean you want to get out your credit card and BUY NOW!!!!! But hey, maybe I’m just not enough of a knife enthusiast to understand that particular one.

Now Dr. Ho’s Neck Comforter, that’s a product I can get behind. If you were to think of the the most stereotypical infomercial with cheesy assistants asking clearly scripted questions, this one is for you. I’ve only seen it a couple of times, but it’s truly remarkable. It looks like a travel neck pillow, but once you have it on, you push a button to inflate the pillow.

It’s supposed to take the pressure off your neck (apparently by trying to remove that pesky head from your body). It also looks like something Dr. Ho made in his basement in about a half-hour. If you can find it in your local listings, I suggest you try it.

Otherwise, just check out this video. It’s pretty much the same idea, just with a weight loss product and me as your host.
