Until today I thought of the Slap Chop commercial as the Too Legit to Quit of the Vince Offer oeuvre, compared to the Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em of his bananas Shamwow spot–entertaining and with a few bright spots, but nowhere near as paradigm altering. (By extension that prostitute-punching incident could be considered his Funky Headhunter.) However, that opinion has been obliterated by this remix:
Also note how briefly Porter deals with the “You’re gonna love my nuts” line. Smart. “You’re gonna love my nuts” is amateur-hour stuff. Anyone can loop Vince Offer talking about his nuts and get a laugh out of it. Porter smartly zeroes in on the truly ridiculous shit, like the absolutely horrifying bootleg breakfast replacement he serves up. Also: “Tacos / Fettuccini / Linguini / Martini / Fettini (?).” That’s some lyrics right there.
