You don't see any real physical affection between them. It really seems like Magic Bullet sales is the only thing keeping them together. Sad to see. They seemed so naturally in love in the original infomercial.
*making an iced coffee in my cubicle* what was that Barbara you're on an important phone call and can't hear over my "ridiculous racket" I can't hear you over my magic bullet to go it's perfect for home and office use
Imagine going out into the wilderness with this, only to find Mick and Mimi waiting for you with this thing. Seriously though I love the bullet cynicism from the crowd in this one :)
The writers wanted to meet the needs of those wanting a new commercial, but also those who loved the first. This way. Everyone gets. Exactly what. THEY WANT!
These are the greatest infomercials ever. The characters and implications are amazing. Name one other infomercial where one of the characters hates her boyfriend, everyone is visually and audibly repulsed finding out the alcoholic was banging the old lady they didn’t even know was there?
Most of them are doing all right, thanks to the Magic of the Magic Bullet. Mick and Mimi got divorced after they both learned the Magic Bullet had uses...let's just say beyond the kitchen. His alimony payments have taken a real toll on his ability to buy curry powder, but his "Australian" accent has charmed many a woman at the bar - not to mention his self-mixing party mugs with color-coded rings. When word got around that Mimi could be satisifed in just one....two.....threeeeeee seconds, she was never lonely either. Hazel and Berman eloped after this campout. They bonded over a love of cheap bourbon and cigarettes. Thanks to the Magic Bullet, Hazel can cook dinner for him every night and it's never a production. After seeing someone make smoothies in the middle of the woods, Barney's whole world crumpled and he very nearly ended up in an asylum. Happily, he has pulled it together and is now in trade school, studying to be an electrician. His wife is proud of his achievements and no longer delights in seeing him cry; they went on to have five kids and feed them gourmet feasts prepared using nothing but a microwave and a magic bullet. Dino's life took a darker turn. He never forgave his wife for humiliating him in front of their friends, fellow campers, squirrels, and a bunch of strangers watching on TV. A week after they got home, the cops walked in on a grisly scene as he attemped to fit what was left of her remains into the bullet blender. And that other couple from the first infomercial? Well, they occasionally see news of their old friends on MySpace (remember, this is early 2000s) and realize they were probably better off getting out when they could. Still, they will never forget the memories they made at the get-together they still refer to as "Last Night's Barbecue."
As someone who was obsessed with the original commercial as a kid, I cannot believe I haven't heard of the Bullet Extended Universe. This changes everything.
Berman avoiding the straw and went straight for gulping the coffee...Dino consulting his wife on what to put in his omelette...Hazel waking up for pancakes...Complaining about a wife wanting to see him suffer. This entire infomercial is a straight up mood.
I have to ask, is magic bullet fan fictions out there. That would be kinda awesome. This comment section would be perfect at that, also did Hazel sneak in with Berman?
Everyone is thinking the exact same thing. I think it might’ve been intentional even though it kind of ruins my appetite of wanting to eat the food they make when they plant the image of Hazel, banging Berman in the tents for all the viewers at home.
This one is basically the exact same as the regular Bullet infomercial, with the addition of pancakes, an incorrectly-made Denver omelet, a second-hand Frappuccino, some chili, egg salad, a protein shake, Berman and Hazel bumping uglies, and a few extra frozen drinks.
Ah yes, nothing says famous authentic Texas chili as much as a middle aged British man rush-cooking, over puree'd ingredients, on a sex cult camping trip.
LOL I love how they're acting like the Magic Bullet was the reason they didn't bother making these meals. Like oh yeah, chopping onions. That's the entire reason I never had chili in the woods, it wasn't the heavy cans, the ground beef I had to keep fresh, the saute pan I didn't want to cook, a source of heat to cook the actual thing... no it was the onions. I couldn't chop them.
My Aunt bought a Magic Bullet and when it arrived in the mail she tried to put a whole watermelon in it cause she wanted some watermelon juice. I told her you first have to cut the watermelon in small pieces and add some salt and water. She made me cut the watermelon in small pieces which took me an hour and by the time I was done my Aunt went to the sofa then turned on the television and took a nap. I had a few pieces of watermelon and went home. The End.
Nearby river or lake will help you with this problem, or else you should think about bringing water-bottle-to-go and soap-to-go alongside, you're welcome
Me: using the bullet to go in the office Co worker: hey bitch be quiet Me:the commercial said i can use it in the office Co worker: they are wrong this is the quiet office
I don't think it was intentional, but Dino's "I don't understand that's an electrical appliance" and Tina's response of "Just let them go..." is actually pretty funny, in a post-modern, absurdist humor kind of way. (Think faux commercials ala Tim and Eric).
Tina has it bad for Mick. Something is going on there. He goes out and picks her fresh blueberries and look at that smile she gives him... It's telling. 6:58 Netflix could learn a thing or two about showing not telling from this infomercial's narrative.
They told me this could do any job, in 10 seconds or less, even from the middle of the woods. It's been 5 hours, night has fallen and it still hasn't put my tent up.
