I don’t know what it is, but I could just really go for a ShoeDini right now. I don’t even have any trouble getting my shoes on or off, being a fully functional adult who can manage minor tasks, but Gilbert Godfried’s voice is like a SIREN SONG. ShoeDini, I am crashing upon your shores! (Just kidding! No I’m not! What is this?) (Thanks for the tip, Mark.)

UPDATE: FAKE! Once again, I got INTERNET’D!

  1. Ooh, Ooh, can we have him do Jack Lalane’s juicers next?

  2. this is kindof random, but today a guy came into my work and tried to sell me a tazer, but he demonstrated that to use it you simply hit your attacker over the head with it. a sales tactic that is just about as effective as using Gilbert Godfried’s voice.

  3. You know what’s even better than ShowDini?
    Buying shoes that actually fit your feet

  4. My favorite line:
    “It’s not just a shoe horn. It’s a shoe horn on a stick!”

  5. Why is the parrot from Aladdin yelling at those old people?

  6. Fake?? Gabe, I can honestly say with complete honesty that I saw that exact ad on TV with Gilbert Gottfried’s voice. Honestly. Unless the internets have invaded my TV. What the?

  7. One of my aunts loves buying devices like this for my grandfather, convinced that they will make his life easier in his old age. She bought him a Reacher Grabber, which he uses to pinch people from the comfort of his chair, and something like a Sock Genie that falls apart upon contact with socks. Assuming that this Shoedini, being sturdy enough to put on shoes, will also assist in putting on socks, I expect to see a live demonstration of its amazing powers (!!!!!) the next time I visit my grandparents. Probably it will be used for some kind of abuse, though, which is why you should never buy Senior Aid Devices advertised on television, ever.

  8. First 3 lines sound like a Dr. Seuss story. Which is actually kind of brilliant–I’ll buy the Kush next if I know it’s the gift of choice in Whoville.

  9. Companies always use Houdini as the namesake for their fabulous projects. Do they forget that Houdini essentially died from his last trick?

  10. Well siren or not I’m still putting wax in my ears… *crickets*.

  11. You fell for this?? I haven’t screamed “FAKE!” so fast since I read The New Testament.
