Insightful inventions

I make comedy videos about products you didn't know you needed, and then — through the magic of witchcraft affiliate links — you buy them. Everybody wins. Especially me.
AS SEEN ON THE INTERNET PROBABLY
§01 — The Bit

What I do, between naps.

Three flavors. Same product. Same affiliate link, frankly.
A.

Parody Infomercials

The kind of overcaffeinated 2AM ads your grandfather fell asleep to, but the product is real and the link is in the description. We've come full circle.

B.

Unhinged Reviews

I treat a $19 kitchen gadget like it's the Voynich Manuscript. You laugh. You buy it. You thank me later, in the comments, where I never reply.

C.

Situational Comedy

Short skits where the product is the punchline, the setup, and occasionally the antagonist. Like a Pixar short, but for a stick blender.

§02 — The Process

How the sausage gets made.

01

Find a Product

Usually one that does something normal in a slightly absurd way. Sometimes the opposite.

02

Develop Strong Opinions

I have to actually care. Even if the caring is unreasonable. Especially then.

03

Film at 2 AM

The lighting is bad and the energy is somehow worse. This is the format.

04

Edit Until Sunrise

Cut frames. Add zooms. Yell internally. Decide it's done when the sun comes up.

05

Post & Disappear

I will not read the comments. (I will read all of the comments.)

06

Watch the Link Work

The affiliate dashboard goes up. My family is fed. We never speak of it again.

§05 — Allegedly Real Quotes

What people have said.

"

I came for the joke. I stayed for the spatula. I have purchased four spatulas.

— Some Guy In The Comments
"

Our CTR went up 340%. We are afraid to ask how.

— A Brand Manager, Anonymously
"

This is somehow legal. I checked twice.

— My Cousin, Envious
§06 — The Pitch

Want me to sell your thing?

I'm easy. Send me a product, a deadline, and at least seven exclamation points in the email. I'll send you a video that converts and an invoice that doesn't.

§07 — Frequently Asked

Things people ask.

Q.

Do you actually use the products?

Eventually. Once the camera's off and the affiliate link is live, the smart toaster and I make peace.

Q.

Is this a real business?

Yes. The IRS confirmed it last April. They were very polite about it.

Q.

Can I send you a free product?

You may. I can be reached at the address listed below. So can my dog. He has opinions too.

Q.

What if my product isn't funny?

That's where I come in. If it can be plugged in, eaten, or worn, I can find the joke. Possibly two.

Q.

Will you sign an exclusivity agreement?

Depends. Does the agreement also contain a joke? I'm flexible. My lawyer is less so.
