Knife part 1

[dnanalahcnap]

Arnold, my dad wants everybody to kill themselves.

[Elvishairdude89]

Actually scratch that, I wouldn't buy them at all. Most of the reviews I've seen say they don't do any of the stuff on TV and you have to pay S/H with the "lifetime warranty" that costs more than if you just bought a new set from scratch.

[Elvishairdude89]

I work in telesales and I've sold these before - the 'catch' is that they charge $46 for S/H (which is more in shipping than the Knives cost), but they won't tell you unless you ask.

Hint, if you call into order them and tell the salesperson "no" to the main offer, they'll take $13 off the S/H. They'll also take half the S/H off the wooden block if you tell them "no" - but the S/H charges are still outrages, even with the discount. I'd buy them on Amazon myself.

[Elvishairdude89]

Get your Ronco Knives for ONLY 3 payments of $13.33!!!*

(Plus $500,000.00 S/H)

[whathell97]

RONCO BITCH!!

[dpk209210]

Why the hell did he crush the bread with the first knife?

[luisdanielblandon]

I saw this like five years ago when I was 15. I never would've seen it again if it weren't for YouTube. Thank you, this is the best thing that's ever been on television. Lmfaoo BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.

[shadowman2192]

@luisdanielblandon What is it about these incredibly cheesy infomercials that is so entertaining?

I have seen this one 100 times and its so stupid but I can't help it...Its like I'm helpless under its power.

Somebody help me!

[shadowman2192]

Respond to this video... I didn't know fish wear underwear.

[LilGrey456]

9:46 with Captions says they're different sizes I'm going to throw those two nights in france.

[LilGrey456]

What's the difference between the Showtime knife and the Saw knife?

[WombatSecretAgent]

The laugh in the audience at 4:14 is pure evil.

[butteryfistful]

Dude crushes the bread with his white knuckles.

[p00pynuggeteer]

The guy looks like a fucking serial killer.

[Bianca00055]

ronco scares the shit out of me!

[BBCTHREEUKFAN]

This is IDENTICAL to the JML 'chef' Tonys Miracle blade knife set. But wait theres more...

[CH3MIS7RY]

BUTT WEIGHT, there's more...

[CH3MIS7RY]

Most LOLable part...7:57 - 8:03

"You've gotta be kiddin' me...I mean, Ron, if you give any more than that, they're gonna call you Santa Claus instead of Ron Popeil."

"Right."

[aliciaangel23]

whats really funny is that this and chef tony's set is about the same knvies

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

you see how arnold pressed down on the bread when usign the old knife to make it look like the old knife was dull as hell and thats why the bread crumbled into tiny pieces??

[landline00]

@ENTERTAINMENT35 Yeah...makes you question everything.

[gregory06]

4:12 "HAHAHAHAHAHAH" wtf? thats either a sarcastic laugh or just plain retarded

[isitfunthere1]

Hahah I love the monotone at 8:26: "What you need... is shears. Here I have shears."

[wrestleingdiva]

uh whys that man trying to cut a hammer lol

[corwin11412]

Ah, I remember watching this down my aunt's house! Very old program!

[jfrey1]

You need sheers. Here I have sheers. You're gonna love these sheers.

[jfrey1]

4:38 if someone at a bakery cut me a bagel like that, I'd punch em in the throat.

[evilaj2010]

@jfrey1 You stupid Americans need to learn how to control your tempers.

[troncia]

Anyone know about when this aired originally? i realize it was rerun for years

[jfrey1]

@troncia 1924.

[silvRboLt95]

@jfrey1 1924 xD more like 2003 or something

[jfrey1]

"everybody knows what this is just by the LENGTH of it." i bet.

[usama1119]

These knives seem very similar to Cutco knives, I wonder if Cutco stole from Ronco.

[s2h53]

they made coke cans out of steel??

[Diamondblade2008]

@s2h53 They did back in the 80s as far as I know...

[acm1995]

hey laughing guy at 4:14...it wasnt THAT funny. lol jk

[ThaMidnightRider]

@acm1995 That was Ron and his fake ass laugh

[jfrey1]

pause at 3:24. what's that remind you of? >.<

[PookeoResurrected]

Kind of ironic Ronco is bankrupt.

[ThaMidnightRider]

@PookeoResurrected Ron sold the company before it went bankrupt. I guess he saw the writing on the wall.

[MizNelson]

Everyone in the audience is wearing an apron even though there's no cooking on this show. Hm.

[TheHockeyCentral]

Remember.

That's a grapefruit!

That's a FUCKING GRAPEFRUIT!!!!

[paintball227]

6 star. lol 6 out of 100 stars maybe.

[TheGiantNoodle]

This guy is a CROOK!

[JGMusicFactory]

I like how he always talks while cutting, like 1 stroke=1 word

[797gymnast]

what if you were a murderer?????? omg!!!

[Hokieman101]

That old geezer showing off the knives is way too upbeat. He must have overdosed on Viagra that day.

[brijesh50]

Bed Bath and Macys endorses the finest products you can buy in the market. If you cannot get into these stored consider them as sham

[MissAmber520]

Those knives really aren't that good

[jasong19711]

I would love to have that Sportsmans knife for fishing or hunting because it looks like a great knife for either skinning or filleting.

[lfb5150]

Is there really a need for a knife to make Apple birds?

[jfrey1]

they have to compete with chef tony's radish roses.

[weyrauch]

Why the hell is everyone in the audience wearing an apron? And why is this guy at 03:10 looking like he just had shit in his pants? And who is imitating who? Chef Tony Grandpa Popeil or the other way round?

[das21898]

This is copying the miracle blade.

[jfrey1]

i'd love to see a side-by-side comparison with all the phrases and moves that this guy stole from chef tony. it's pretty blatant. like that nickelback side-by-side audio comparison when it was proved that they ripped off themselves.

[LeCuong95]

@das21898 i think this is before the miracle blade!

[StandUpForCanada1867]

@LeCuong95 I was just gonna say!!!

[c14h20o4]

I own this knife set and am happy with it but if you look closely, the knife "cousin arnold" is using is much different than the showtime knife. The steel is different colored and the end of the knife is different.

[TheYoungBurnside]

Why do they have to carry the knives on a pillow..?

[jfrey1]

wal-mart pillow.

[DizzyedUpGirl]

I don't think "Cousin Arnold" is really her cousin.

[Cavaliers9308]

7:55-7:57 soo dramatic lol

[PokeWinner1995]

GLITCHY MUCH?!

[BarnabasFrid]

God Damn! What a waste of food!

[dhom100]

lol. his selling tactic was so ridiculously over the top, but he still managed to fool a lot of people.

[Ibmyselfman]

Cutco is 60 times better. Consumers Digest even says to beware of TV ads. The only reason why Ronco barely dulls is because they give you a skyscraper of knives, so it's impossible to use them all so much that they actually dull. Buy quality if you are looking for cutlery.

[randomlikings]

Best ever.

[mananmater]

funny as hell

[wildprodigy]

Miracle Blade is Better it can Cut a Pineapple in Mid Air

[JoeDSileo1988]

they do that in the very beginning of the infomercial. In fact if you watch this then the miracle blade its almost the same virbatim

[yishmeen]

4:05 RAWR smash bread with my hand much?

[tyIerz06]

CHICKEN BOAN

[quiznationrules]

WTF?! It shows you the 15 other pieces cutlery and then the 2 for 1 offer before Arnold even demonstrates the other knives.

[Machete87]

these knives were inspired by chef Tony's knives only u get more knives with the price of 13.33, but if u add 3 payments u are going 2 pay 40 bux plus tax n that don't jus include 4 shipping.

[Machete87]

the MIRACLE BLADE 2 is worth 1 payment of 39.95, but there's gotta be a catch. there usually always is.

[whitecastlerocks]

He should try to be a little less obvious when he smashes the bread.

[Machete87]

o ya n don't 4get the tomato

[dancelove822]

I love how the old guy says fork at 6:39

[bnascarg]

what year was this inormercial made 2003 or 2004

[tigerwoods232000]

I love how they end up offering like 40 knives after building up little by little

[0O7James]

"does anyone go hunting and fishing?" *silence* "yeah!"

LOL, awesome infomercial

[shilohman07]

no infomercial will ever compare to this and the magic bullet

[Kira010492]

i fucking love you

[TayJay19958]

idk why but i love to wacth info mercials and this my favorite one

[elbonia17]

ron reminds me of christopher walken. amirite?

[donnk]

the audience laughs' r so forced

[Machete87]

either that or a laugh track

[Limerickdesign]

thats funny how the old guy is surprised that ron is including another knife then another knife but he has an example like an onion or bread waiting there under the counter for him to cut it.

[jonathaniscool531]

ohhhhhhhh. god. 9:10, such a priceless moment.

[Paeleologos]

Wow Ron was an ass hole to "Cousin Arnold"! LOL I cracked up.

[Staytec]

"they're gonna start calling you santa claus instead of ron popeil"

"yeah, right, let me review first what you're getting.:

[Loyal2NES]

How the hell do you stay in business with a model like that?

[Diamondblade2008]

They make their money on the shipping and handling charges, not the sale of the actual product.

[BlueBlack125]

This infomercial was recorded in the bowels of hell. the old short haired mozzarella lady looks around nervously as if ron has a gun to her head (it might be in part two)

[flargmuffin92]

We have this knife set...it really isnt that special..to me their just knives...our paring knife tip broke off....of course thats jut proof of the stupidity of my sister trying to open a can with it.

And there not stainless...all ours are smeared..no matter how much you wash them..

The sheers are good though....

[0Mike0Banks0]

haha nice info! it's so weird how they make these things seem like the messiah of all infomercial products. you can just tell how this whole thing is staged and edited a certain way, like when he presses down on the bread with the normal knife

[no1linknparkfan]

Or you could not crush the bread when you cut it

[BlueBlack125]

lol yeah that always bothered me its so obvious hes pressing down when cutting it

[JoeDSileo1988]

1:00 I'm going to weld that blade's handle to a piston drive shaft and press it onto a hammer.

Lets put that "Lifetime Guarantee" to the test.

[captainstinky666]

Looks like a human leg. Hey arnold, my dad wants to throw in this murder knife. IF! you call right now

[KUNGER316]

my mom starved me with that bread knive

[Uktopperfan]

I watch this shit every night!!! This is the best infomercial its funny as shit.

[flargmuffin92]

lmao same here...ive got no life

[dsliteman66]

@Uktopperfan me too!

[yukitochi90]

Knife porn.

[mobby32]

lol

[rvdsabu4life]

4:13 guy in the audience LOVES that joke

[Wolfman12395]

I was wondering how the fuck something like that can even be THAT funny to that one person in the audience. He was most likely paid to laugh.

[SquishyKitty]

Miracle Blades are so much better than this set. Got about 20 less knives.

Oh and this infomercial is almost 100% a ripoff of the Miracle Blade commercials.

[ownedyou32]

i just bought this knife set like a week ago. I just watched the miracle blades infomercial. it does look better than this, and this doesn't have the handle thingy

[Lukeflyswatter]

Wow i just watched this then Miracle Blade 3 and you're right. Even the foods they use for the demonstrations are exactly the same. He even says "filet the filet" and explains that the can he cuts is aluminum, and proceeds to cut a hammer. They didn't even try to hide it.

[Cleveland1012]

If you order now, we will give you the rotisserie cooker FREE* Just pay $99.99 for shipping & handling.

[Diamondblade2008]

...And if for any reason you are not totally satisified with the knives or the rotisserie then just send it back FOR A FULL REFUND! Just pay the shipping and handling charge of $99.99 for each item.

[Cleveland1012]

Your not going to pay 50$, your not going to pay $49.99, your not going to pay $49.98. your not even going to pay $49.97. you get all this for $49.96. But wait theres more. If you call now I'll even throw in my daughter at no extra charge

[ant05000]

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

[vauxhall13905]

phony bastard lmao

[Toasty278]

dude that's a lot of knives. im surprised he didn't add in a chainsaw!

[ShortySIG552]

He cuts the hammer and the food with different parts of the blade.

[Diamondblade2008]

Thats exactly what I mentioned in my comment.

[ShortySIG552]

Didn't see your comment.

Great minds think alike though, eh?

[Diamondblade2008]

Yea true. I still find this infomercial entertaining to watch though.

[ShortySIG552]

Oh yeah, you gotta love shit like this.

Hahaha.

He's not as awesome or intense as BILLY MAYS though.

[JoeDSileo1988]

@ShortySIG552 yea but we know why he was that way and looked what happened to him

[RaiderFan0208]

5:04 "WOW" lmao

[ShortySIG552]

haha WOW

WOW

WOW

it was so unsuspected that he had to whip that onion out of nowhere.

[GeorgeKurai]

The miricale blade?

[jonathaniscool531]

i like how after he's done with the bread and bagel knife, you can still see him holding down the bread with his hand, then he's delicate with the good knife. lol

[jonathaniscool531]

lmao at 9:09

[JDMAero]

I grew up on this infomercial. It taught me everything I need to know about the world.

[jonathaniscool531]

OMFG. dude, me too! there is some supernatural element to this infomercial! god's selling knives through ronco!

[rayruiz12345]

saying "theres more!" is just a business term in advertising, whoever buys 1 knife for that much is retarded..all made of the same materials and they all get dull eventually

[nickgmoney]

what a rip off of the miracle blade lol

[JDMAero]

Best Infomercial ever. But look at how much food he wastes by putting it into that little hole!

[JoeDSileo1988]

actually that is the point of the infomercial. prerecording the demonstration ends the need for door to door demonstrations.

[singerboy3]

Is it me or do these knives and sales tactics look a tad familiar (Miracle Blade)?

[mrflamingo01]

but there's more!

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

the cut at 9:09 is funny!

[NiTeHaWk4787]

I've watched this about 45 times. I just let it play in the background when I play WoW along with the Showtime Rotisserie, Turbo Cooker, Miracle Blade, and Magic Bullet infomercials lmfao.

[mrflamingo01]

you play WOW? r u addicted? nerd

[NiTeHaWk4787]

You have nothing better to do with your time? Are you that bored? Faggot.

[f1br30p7ix]

I love how he destroys the bread with the other knife.

[ENTERTAINMENT35]

looks like to me he pressed down into the bread so that the bread would crumble to pieces when he cut it!

[MizNelson]

How convenient that Ron happens to have a relative in his 60s who's a natural huckster with knife skills. Right. If Arnold is Ron's cousin, then I'm his uncle.

[jfrey1]

7:25 - arnold stabs himself in the hand with the steak knife. smart move.

[jfrey1]

what's up with bringing the knives out one by one on a wal-mart pillow? :DDDD

[jfrey1]

this doesn't remind me of chef tony and the miracle blade at all. cousin arnold should sue chef tony for stealing his info-mercial!!!!

[kcowneduall]

lmao the 8:28 voiceover was funny

[DrSayre]

lol I love the laugh in the background at 4:16

[CatCommunication]

Why do they make a point of saying the "saw knife" is "only for bones & frozen food"?

[Diamondblade2008]

So you don't damage it by cutting something that its not designed to cut, i'e soft breads and cakes.

[lafleursucks]

How can you damage it by cutting something soft??

[Diamondblade2008]

Because my other comment was a JOKE! Duh!!!

[lafleursucks]

Sorry, its hard to tell a joke in typing

[Diamondblade2008]

Lol its ok. No hard feelings (no pun intended!)

[kig]

chef tony is the man these knifes are a rip off if you want perfect results every time...try the miracle blades...you can actually fillet the fillet! you can slice onions, pickles, green peppers, tomatoes with perfect results every time!

[Diamondblade2008]

I have noticed that when that guy cuts the hammer, he uses the middle part of the blade, but when he cuts the tomato, he cuts it with the front part of the blade! So perhaps the middle part of the knife did get blunt from the hammer!

[NiTeHaWk4787]

My thoughts exactly.

[CatCommunication]

You're right! He's starting up closer to the tip... Once you've gotten through the skin of the tomato, you could be cutting it with the hammer, and it'd look alright! (kidding)

Good observation. I think that's why he kinda "names" each slice too. You're watching the slices, hearing "Next week, Next year" and not noticing so much which part of the knife he uses.

The blade is also probably thicker down toward the middle too!

[Diamondblade2008]

Thanks! I have also noticed whenever he speaks to the audience, he somewhat 'forces' them to reply with the fake 'yea' chants! It is very unnatural and a blatant giveaway that the audience was ordered to say 'Yea' or '3 Easy Payments...' or whatever.

[CatCommunication]

That's a kind of sales technique. By repeating over & over "that's fair, right?" or "that's good, right?" or whatever, you're putting your audience in the mindset that you're selling them a good product and that all common sense points toward it being the best!

Search for "shamwow" for a good laugh!

[N0GGINB0NKER]

"The only tears you'll have are tears of joy"

They use that line in every fucking infomercial that involves onion chopping.

[chokeslam92]

biting off the miracle blade knives...

[Missbunny187]

love this ad

[chrisw1lder]

oh and the hammer demonstration is amazing..lmao

it makes no sense.

[chrisw1lder]

the best infomercial ever.

magic bullet close second.

[butters226]

3 payments of 33 33!!!

[jetblacknewyearxx]

is that a midget playing a little kid bringing him the knives?

[bavarianwerks]

Rons a cunt! He just blew off the guy when he called him santa clause

[Resevil]

Pure brilliance

[Nickdude43]

dude, thank you so much for uploading this, lol

[minimalist1984]

Can it chop a pineapple in midair?

[Diamondblade2008]

No, but it can cut a hammer up!

[zmorrow06]

SANTA!!!!

[escueladeleyi]

But wait.

There's more!

LMAO!!!!!!

[rap9206]

This is a rip-off of MIRACLE BLADE.

Compare the videos.

[dobermans4you2]

cheap , junk!

[jasong19711]

it takes LONGER for a serrated edge knife to need sharpening , but they DO!
