Clever bit of editing on a product that is near and dear to many YBNBY viewers hearts.
I have to agree with Bill-O on this one. It sucks!

Alright, thanks for posting this. Now I have a podium ...
If you haven't noticed already, there is a part of this Sham-Wow ad that makes the product utterly amazing. It has the ability to absorb moisture through things (like a carpet) even without absorbing anything contained within it.
Proof? Watch when he pours the 2-liter bottle of soda (or whatever it is) over the carpet. It is completely saturated. When he lifts the carpet to prove it is saturated, it is dripping all over everything and soaked through.
Then, when he comes back ('we're gonna do this in real time') the mess around the carpet is gone, but the carpet is (apparently) still soaked. To top it off, the Sham-Wow is so amazing that ('you following me camera guy') dropping on the carpet once, and then patting it down slightly a second time not only dries the carpet completely, but it removes all soda stains from the other side of the carpet AND dries the countertop completely!
I know I shouldn't be surprised. It IS made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff.
All I can say is Sham WOW!
I kid you not, I actually recreated the pop-on-carpet using my sham-wow when I first got it.
I was sure it was a scam, my innate skepticism had me totally convinced.. I was even prepared to make a YouTube video decrying the German cloth. "ScamWow - wasted money" I was going to call it.
But I'll be damned, the thing worked exactly as Vince showed. I even re-did the experiment on a fresh new piece of carpet and added some mint extract for odor detection. In the end the ShamWow worked. Not perfectly. But it worked better than using paper towl, and a bath towel (which I used for comparison controls).
Again, I swear I am not Vince from ShamWow, he's annoying as hell, but the product is great for cleaning up messes. And believe me, between my puppy and myself the shamwow has paid for itself in the cost of paper towels.
That's it Tim... Now I wanna watch the video badly. I'm under firewalls...
But if that's on thing I've learned from these things is that the sign "as seen on TV" means right what's written on it... ON TV, the only and one place that all the stuff works. Including the ability of absorb moisture through the carpet.
Does it clean up a large blood stain?
Now that would impress me.
Jimbo - Of course it cleans better than paper towels or regular towels, it is a chamois, after all. But that's the point, it really is nothing more than a chamois and marketing.
The point that I was trying to make is ... if it is so good, why didn't they leave the dripping carpet AS IS before they dropped the Sham-Wow on it? Instead, they remove the carpet, cleaned the countertop and replaced the carpet with one that wasn't soaked quite as much.
Don't believe me? Look at the countertop right before he sets the carpet back down.
I think Thomas could have used Shamwow when he shat him self on the ferris wheel.
Thomas' pooping his pants beat all of the stories combined.
Even yours Leo.
Disgusting.
Now you've ruined my day Dave... hahahaha
But I can't deny it was funny.
I agree with you Tim. They say they're running everything uncut. Of course it is, but while the guy keeps talking and change the camera's position for a little while, some kind of magic happens in the place that was not being filmed then.
The ShamWow guy creeps me the fuck out. He looks like someone who's spent a good part of his life living in his car.
The sad thing is the sales. People actually buy this "magic" dish rag. Only on earth can you name something that's called a Sham and have it sell. Who were the marketing geniuses behind the naming of this? I would have gone with "Suc-wow!"
and where did they get the "jack-ass" look-a-like sideshow hawker? and what demographic were they going for - the trailer trash single mom with pop-n-pee-n-poop filled carpets?
I love to trash infomercials
This guy is selling a kitchen chopper/dicer on TV now.
