Rap Chop. Some impressive sound editing from DJ Steve Porter.
Part of the latest in strange editing memes of the Slap Chop infomercial (link to original). Even Billy Mays is in on the fun.

You missed Cock Shot, my favorite thing to come out of this whole mess: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfYijyWMAjo

These commercials for kitchen accessories are so absurd. That thing is just a peice of junk that would probably sit in your cupboard 99% of the time. He even points out you can buy stuff like that in a store ("but you can't wash it, it's worthless!")
The remix is pretty good, though.

"Beat up a hooker" doesn't seem like a particularly fair characterization of that.

What I want to know is why is the slap chop so damn small? It can barely fit all of the things he puts in it. Oh one hardboiled egg for egg salad? Put it in the slap chop and it's full! Sorry, you can't chop anything else right now. Look I'm cutting up half an onion!

If I have time to pre-chop the veggies and then clean the device, why can't I just mince everything with a regular, had-to-get-it-dirty-anyway knife?
Anyway, not a patch on All Will Come Right.

Wow, that "I Hate LA" video is just all sorts of hatred rolled into one disturbing little ball, isn't it.

Ok, Cock Shot was pretty funny, but when it got to "1 800-FUCK-FUCK-FUCK" I almost spit my drink out.

Beat up a hooker? Really? Were you aware that "hookers" are also human beings? Applying the "hooker" label does what exactly? Oh right, it turns them into something less than human beings. Stop that.

Applies context by telling you what she does for a living and how he met her. It isn't always about dehumanization.

When I saw this gem on TV on a Sunday morning, I had to really think about whether I was still watching a Saturday night spoof.

All right, I'll admit it: I would like something like the Slap Chop and something like the Flavor Wave.
I assume that they're both pieces of junk, Mr. T's endorsement notwithstanding. But does anyone have any recommendations for things like what they supposedly are?

Sys Rq- That would be unbelievably awesome.

I didn't give you that The Cheat-sized Slap Chop so you could throw Slap Chop raves!

A knife and an oven? 16 minutes is plenty of time to cook a steak, I've cooked them even quicker in my, uh, George Foreman grill (but the ones I did were thinner then that one). And the slapchop just replaces a knife. Using a knife might increase the time you spend chopping by like 50% or something.

My mom has the pampered chef version of the slap chop. They work alright, but aren't anything to write home about. You can't fit a lot underneath them so if you have a bunch to chop you have to break out a knife. They don't really save you that much time and they are a pain to clean. As far as I'm concerned, it's something that ends up in a drawer collecting dust.
As far as the Flavor Wave, did anyone else notice that Mr. T's steak looked to be medium well or well? I could have sworn he asked for medium rare.

The worst thing about this video is that it's going to reach a million views and in three months some savvy informercials will go all chopped-and-screwed electro-break and we'll finally be living in the age of blipverts and exploding heads.
Which really might not be so bad.

Although its a really amateur production - I laughed shamefully at the Billy Mays Kaboom Parody the first several times I watched it.
I barely smiled while watching it again for this post - so you mileage may vary...

I have been obsessed with this for the last 48 hours. I wish I had a portable autotune. Sure would make the workdays go faster.

There are a number of options for doing that, carrying various amounts of other baggage. I guess YRMV but where I'm from, prostitute would be a less loaded term.
Now imagine how hilarious the above would sound through autotune. See what I mean?
