Cheers To You! Motivational CD Offers Eight Creepy, Life-Affirming Tracks

8613 views

If you're down in the dumps and have nowhere else to turn, consider this collection of congratulatory remarks dubbed over applause. Only $24.95! But wait, if you order right now, you'll also get some, uh, pewter puzzle pieces?
















If this had been around in the 80s, we're sure it would have replaced Huey Lewis in Patrick Bateman's CD player.
Life Fail [FailBlog]
CHEERS TO YOU!

Is this what it has come to now that Stuart Smalley is in Congress?

awesome american psycho reference.

Billy Mays is getting lazy. Other scammers are slipping these great ideas past him!

Although my mom swears by Oxyclean's effectiveness. And she recently picked up some Might Putty to fix a broken microwave door. It's been holding for at least a few months now.

That voice sounds constipated and not at all convincing. Not that this would make any sense even if they found good voice talent. Is there anything more depressing than being affirmed by a recording?

user-pic

Ironically, the puzzle pieces don't fit together.

@BlackMage is doing the Time Warp agaaaaaaain!!!: I love how they come up with a new name for a product that has been around for a few years now. You can get two part epoxy in a single stick at your local hardware store.

user-pic

@Ash78: After listening to the CD I left the house feeling good enough, smart enough, and gosh darnit...I think people liked me!

user-pic

That guys ***-eatting-grin on the video is annoying. And why does he keep nodding to himself?

Youuu AREEEEe a loser! *cheers and applause*

user-pic

Please, someone tell me this is a very bad joke. Actually, it sounds like a shitty SNL skit.

user-pic

i'm laughing out loud at this. so i guess it worked.


I'm ordering it now since the Snuggie f-d up my order. (no joke.)

user-pic

This was on fail blog(and more than likely some other sites)earlier this week.

user-pic

Does anyone else find that motivational tools make them feel apathetic and unmotivated?

user-pic

@nicemarmot617: I agree. When I was younger, I tried some of those motivational tapes and books. I usually came away feeling patronized. Which I find very unmotivating.

user-pic

You want life affirmation?
Well. Ponder this classic:

You're a Siamese twin
Your brother, attached to your shoulder, is gay
You're not
He has a date coming over tonight
You only have one arse.

user-pic

@humphrmi: I always wanted to try one of those things...but couldn't seem to get off the couch and to the store to buy one.

user-pic

This is the kind of spirit that built this great country.

user-pic

@YourTechSupport: Wait, if he's attached by the shoulder, how are they sharing an ass?

user-pic

I would buy that as a gag-gift for friends that I usually play FPS games with. Nothing says "You're a winner" like a insperational DVD.

user-pic

@se7a7n7: "without me the puzzle is incomplete" Maybe you are supposed to eat it?

user-pic

@MightyDwarf56: Really? Is that maybe why the video said "failblog.org" in the corner? Or maybe that could explain why the consumerist credited failblog as their source? I have a theory... perhaps the consumerist saw this on fail blog and reposted it because they thought it was funny. Let me know if I'm coming out of left field on that one.

user-pic

@cudthecrud: No, your right on.

user-pic

Truly sad. Anyone desperate enough to buy this, has self-esteem too low for it to work...

user-pic

@puffyshirt:

That rocked...I just finally saw that the other day. (I had read the book.)

user-pic

@jamesdenver:

i got my snuggie at staples the other day!

user-pic

I won't buy it because it's not Vince from ShamWow.

user-pic

Notice that everyone apparently MUST use headphones while listening to this... Why?

Perhaps they don't want roommates/family/friends to feel good about themselves?

Neighbors might call Social Services?

You might increase self-esteem, but die of embarrassment?

user-pic

@nicemarmot617: Well after feeling so damn good about yourself, why bother doing anything? All the great jobs, the good friends, the women. They'll all come to you, because you're obviously so damn awesome!

user-pic

Getting an enthusiastic blowjob would do far more for a person's ego then some idiotic CD.

user-pic

reminds me of Joel Osteen

user-pic

Their next CD features third-grade bully insults and canned laughter, for those times you need to be reminded of how you got to be such a pathetic loser... ;o)

user-pic

@EmperorOfCanada: He's grinning like a lobotomy patient from a sci-fi movie.

user-pic

@BlackMage is doing the Time Warp agaaaaaaain!!!:

Home depot sells two part epoxy in the glue section of the paint department. Its also a lot cheaper since you don't pay shipping and handling.

user-pic

This is fake... isn't it?

Great Moments in Commercial History was great because they were real commercials... the last couple, the comedian selling the junk lot, and I think this, are fake commercials.

Maybe I'm wrong on this one ... but it seems fake.

user-pic

@plasticbiker: I know, right? I use a similar compound to fill gaps in my Warmachine minis (Hail Cryx!). Stuff hardens like a rock.

user-pic

@Ubik2501: Yeah... that could have used about one more rewrite. But the sentiment hits home. >_<

user-pic

@root4root: When I saw this ad on TV yesterday I thought it WAS an SNL skit.

How exactly was it "featured" on Ellen's show? Did she make fun of it or mock it? I can't imagine this was given serious treatment on her show.

user-pic

@fuzzymuffins: My g/f keeps bugging me to buy her a damn Snuggie!

user-pic

@puffyshirt:
+1... the question is, if this was in his CD player, would he still have killed a hooker with a chainsaw?

user-pic

@YourTechSupport: You're assuming the brother is a bottom, he could very well be a top ;-)

user-pic

@puffyshirt: The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.

user-pic

@Quilt: Your logic is unassailable. No sarcasm. I agree entirely.

user-pic

HOOOOOORRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY FOR YOU!!!!

user-pic

@scoosdad: They boast about Ellen's comments on their website. Sounds like she was making fun of it -- gave it to her audience as a gag gift.

user-pic

@RoyInHell: and it's the SAME pair of headphones, no less! Do they come with it?
