Ronco Showtime Rotisserie

created by RandomIdiot

(thing) by RandomIdiot (4.2 mon) (print)   ?   (I like it!) 1 C! Sat Jan 27 2001 at 7:48:38

Infomercial featuring a random female hostess and inventor extraordinaire Ron Popeil. Ron introduces his latest and greatest invention, a rotisserie cooker. The only instructions: "Set it and forget it!" Ron demonstrates by preparing a massive bounty of beef, chicken, pork, and vegetable dishes, all the while relentlessly shilling the bejeezes out of all the features, including a vegetable steamer, a syringe for basting, etc. Includes testimonials on behalf of the product by a group of chefs and two official-sounding people: The President of Zacky Farms and a Chief Heart Surgeon whose name escapes me. The audio inexplicably changes from Ron in the studio to a voiceover of Ron during various random parts of the show.
