Amazing Discoveries Infomercial: Human Calculator 

That sweater is an amazing discovery.

RIP, Mike Levey... He made TV interesting in the early 90s.

Human calculator in the front, party in the back.

They aired these in Lebanon so many times I learned them all by heart...

omg I remember this from the 90s. good days

I used to stay up late just to watch Amazing Discoveries

Used to watch this infomercial during my summer vacation sometime in middle school. Really liked it.

My favorite was the one where they were demonstrating some sort of hand held blender to thicken beverages with air. They kept saying, "Coming up, we'll be doing it to plain water!" I was excited to see what that would look like.. figuring it would be like some clear gel. And then the guy pours a glass of water and is like, "Just so everyone can see it, I'm going to add some coffee." I was only about 9... but even I could see the BS...

I remember this episode. I don’t remember how old I was but he was always so happy. RIP Mike

My mother bought this for me. I didn't end up being a Human Calculator

thanks, jerma

When I was a kid, maybe 10,11,12 I would stay up late and the only thing on tv was infomercials. Paid programming. I vividly remember this one . I was born in 1980 so I was roughly 10 or so the first time I saw this

i remember staying up late to watch these infomercials, i loved them think if i had money as a kid i would have ordered everything lol

I remember years later when Kevin Trudeau had this guy on one of his infomercials. No mullet by then.

1:42 I want Scott to tap into the power of that mullet !

Wow, they managed to parody this guy well in the live action Cat in the Hat right down to reproducing the patchwork sweater.

My grandpa bought this for me. I made the mistake of falling asleep listening to the cassettes a couple of times. For months, I could not get math problems to quit working by themselves in my head (which I did not initiate or enjoy, btw). I thought I was going to go insane or need professional help. It was really a low time for me. The silver lining is I got really good at math. True story.

Just what I've always wanted. Math.

I would to watch this on saturday mornings with a full bowl of breakfast cereals on german cable TV, with very inaccurate and off sync german voice over dubs. :-D

Love how he was spoofed in Mr Show

Last time I watched this was in the 90s.. Thanks!

I so wanted this as a kid. It would have helped me so much. I managed to track down the original book online, though the audio transcripts of the cassettes (I threw away my cassette player a long time ago... I held onto it until 2015.) The book is interesting, although it serves no real purpose for me anymore. I guess I got some closure at last...

Scott forgets his math when it's time to tip the waitress

Great early 90s ❤️ I love my childhood memories 😞💕

He raided Cosby’s closet.

So this is where the Cat in the Hat got that joke from

If he could teach a modern retail clerk to make change, I'd be thrilled.

9.58 cents could buy lot more at the grocery store in 1991. 12:05.

I had that same mullet in high school

Those Girl Scouts are like 40 now.

The man had amazing hair 😃

"In Living Color" did spoofs on this great show.

Blud’s sweater is a whole-ass calculator 💀💀💀

I remember watching these on cable TV in the uk in the 90s

This might work for an average person, but I'm a stupid person.

I remember this, as my math teacher try to re teach some of his technics, however I never got too much out of it, and still not good on basic calculation. But I am really good on High math, as they say those who can deal high math can't do basic math.

Better than a comedy movie!

I remember this!

Impressive Patricia

1:15 still so actual.

Nice mullet@!

Casey got to go to Space Camp ... EVERY 90's kid wanted to go to Space Camp.

did anyone ever buy this? and if so did or does it work ?

Needs more Ian

Kiko

I grew up in Asia. We don't need this...

As what Spice Girl Emma Bunton might say on this infomercial, I refuse to believe this because that is the most absurd infomercial I ever saw in my entire life. This however is as difficult thinking someone is smarter than a 5th grade. A bunch of big fat lies to me all the time.
