Slap Chop. I'm sure by now you've seen the commercial starring Vince (of ShamWow fame), who I'm convinced is the product of Eddie Haskell and Biff Tannen sharing one drunken but beautiful night together in Tijuana thirty years ago. Sample dialogue from this smooth-talker: "You're gonna love my nuts!" "Stop having boring tuna; stop having a boring life."
The commercial is genius, but the product itself fascinates me. It takes care of all your chopping needs with minimal effort from you -- simply get out all your aggression by beating the hell out of a contraption with the capacity to hold enough food to feed 1-2 field mice.
Check out the commercial below, and then get in line, friends. I'm on hold trying to order this thing right now. No, not really, but I am trying to find out whether Vince is single. That McDonald's drive-thru earpiece is working for me. I bet he smells like garlic and Dep hair gel.

I almost fell off the couch when dude was like, "you're gonna love my nuts!"
priceless
Excuse me, Vince, this 'Slap Chop' as you like to call it has been around for years. In fact, it comes from the Godfather of Infomercials--Mr. Ron Popeil
Mr. Ron Popeil.
Yeah, but Vince's Slap Chop opens like a beautiful butterfly so you can really get in there and clean it.
THAT'S. WHAT. SHE SAIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.
I liked the cheesy CGI sparkles scattered throughout the video. Everything from the blades to the strawberries sparkle!
Ok, I posted my previous comment before I finished watching, but I like where he says, "We're going to make American skinny again--one slap at a time." It's that easy?? WTF am I doing at Weight Watchers then?
stop having boring tuna! stop having a boring life!
..
boring tuna = boring life.
sweet.
I think Vince looks a little like Kenny in Sports. I have the Ikea version of the slap chop and you should see my nutz.
"If I can do it with one finger, you guys can do it with your whole hand."
Um I'm not sure if that's what she said or not....
Heather McLane, you make my day better each and every day with your bloggings.
LOL! I'm lovin' the commercial. Truth is, I own this thing... but not the Slapchop. I have the Pampered Chef version of the thing ( opens like a butterfly and everything), I really do use it as much as he says. Though, I can't do mine with just one finger... and don't even ask about my nuts!
heather, this is a perfect blog entry.
He actually reminds me of C. Thomas Howell of Celebracadabra fame.
My favorite line..."Fettucini, linguini, martini, bikini."
So if I don't hurry up and get my digi-converter I'm going to *miss* things like this?
Hahahahahha!!! When I saw this on tv I literally said out loud "That's the Sham Wow guy!" I wonder if his eye half shut is a character choice or a make up accident gone wrong...
I love this guy. Who ever hired him is a marketing genius!
He has a way of making you feel like you'd be stupid if you didnt buy his product.
fettuccini, linguini, martini, bikini=ROFL!
Sure, it chops quickly, but how long does it take to get all your vegetables washed and organized in those neat little bowls?
@Jeffresno...be careful...Heather's blogs can be a bad influence...
I am digging Vince. I think he got his start on the "home show" circuit doing demonstrations of the SWEEPA...
dude was showcasing shamwow @ the fair, and almost sold me. i watch this ad, and i'm thinking, where's the phone? he mustuv made some sort of deal with the devil to have magic sales skillz.
did buy the shamwow...it should be called the shamwowow...it is that good.
According to Wiki, his name is Vince Offer, and he actually owns ShamWow and SlapChop. He also made the most unwatchable movie ever, and sued the Church of Scientology.
