The majority of the video shows Vince spraying “woke” characters with a dietcoke+mentos mixture.

          Vince was fond of the Peruvian marching powder too. He got into some sort of altercation with a sex worker after railing a bunch of coke and was arrested IIRC.

          My anecdata says guys who hawk shit on tv like to get coked out.

          He got the heart disease by snorting OxyClean, mistaking it for cocaine

          He actually died from a brain bleed caused by a suitcase to the noggin

          GO TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN YOU GET A HEAD INJURY!

    Excuse my crudeness but I think cocaine and hookers happened to Vince. Then he went republican.

    Typical American success story or smth.

    Vince was born in Israel but lives in Los Angeles CA. In the video he says that woke people will “cancel you for being anti-jew”. Seemingly he supports people who are “anti-jew”.

    Also he registered to run for US congress of Texas district 31.

    I made it halfway through the video before I had to stop so I don’t die of second-hand embarrassment. The bit about the DEI college admissions not letting a light skinned Black guy into college because he’s not dark skinned enough really shows the utter detachment from reality this guy has.

      I can’t blame you, but that means you missed the part where Shamwow guy is in his underwear wearing a chain around his neck and handing a whip to a black man, presumably for non-fetish reasons.

      (yeah, I watched the whole thing and can’t understand how, I have to turn off the Hillary Hamilton song after ”Tim Kaine in the membrane” due to excessive cringe)

      It’s a thing from like trade shows and county fairs. The hucksters there will have their little portable PAs and the goofy mic setup is a staple from those. His aggressive sales approach in the original ads is directly lifted from that environment.

      Shamwow was an “as seen on tv” infomercial for an absorbent towel in the late 2000s. It was very popular on youtube. There were several channels that did fake comedy dubs over the original commercial.

        Adding to this, the original commercials have the weirdest scripts, which is why they were parodied. I think he was doing a package deal where you get a shamwow towel and a nut chopper/blender thing? And then he goes “You’re gonna love my nuts!” as he demonstrates how to use the nut doohicky thing. It’s really awkward phrasing (obvious intentional innuendo).

        That’s one example among hours of infomercials like this.
