infirmercial

A long-winded television-based sales-pitch spiel dat comes across as wimpy and insubstantial.

To take da term "infirmercial" in a literal sense, some of said boob-tube-bee-ess presentations may indeed promise products/services/practices dat supposedly will cure yer lethargy and boost yer vitality, but predictably, about da only effect dat said pricey offerings actually have is to make yer FINANCES more "infirm"! :P

Infomercial Fail

To fail amazingly badly at a basic or simple task. Infomercials use this kind of exaggerated, highly unlikely failure to demonstrate the nonexistent or dubious "problem" the product in question supposedly solves (i.e. trying to crack an egg into a bowl and instead splattering egg and crushed shell pieces all over everything within three feet, hammering a nail into drywall and sending the hammer right through the wall, eating a sandwich and having its entire contents fall directly into your lap, etc.).

Just full-on infomercial failed at cracking an egg. Twice.

infomercial

How wordactors down on their luck/word make money. Origin: Contractions of the words informational and commercial. Interestingly enough is neither informational, nor commercial.

And if you call in right now, we'll throw in this remarkable mock-leather carrying case, absolutely free of charge!

Infomercial

A show that comes on around midnight or so to advertise a useless product. It lasts about 28-30 minutes with cheesy and over-the-top acting. Most of the time, you watch it when you can't get any sleep and you're too tired to know any better. In this state, you're convinced that you're in desperate need of a small step ladder with an mp3 player and bluetooth capabilities.

That infomercial convinced me that I need a shower radio that can also dice tomatoes. I think I wasted that $150.00.
