http://www.infomercial-hell.com/blog/2008/12/17/slap-chop-commercial-vince-from-shamwow-makes-a-triumphant-return/Watch to the 52 second mark. Great line, he doesn't even pause for effect, it's classic. This commercial has been playing the last couple nights on TV. He also does the stupid sham-wow commercial but I love the one liners coming out of this.

Heh, one thing I noticed is that ... right after he did some strawberries and other fruit, he lifted the device and they added a fake quick 'sparkle' to the edge of fruit.
The device does look fairly useful.

We have a chopper exactly like that. It's handy, but nowhere near as easy to clean as he claims.

People that believe the impossible dreams of these products outnumber us by a wide margin. That is a frightening realization.

It sounds like an added sound effect and the view's not clear. That and I think there was a second thrower...

I just saw a video of the Shamwow commercial in Spanish. I mean, Vince Offer was speaking Spanish. It was freaking hilarious.

Haha, I cracked up when I heard that line the first time I saw that commercial.
And I'll probably pick up the chopper because they were smart and made it easy to clean!

We've had a Pampered Chef version of that device for years. If you don't rinse the device pretty thoroughly after use, it is not as easy to clean as he suggests. And yes, the one we have splits open like he describes.
