Yeah, two-ply had to be in there somewhere.

I loved “the first improvement to toilet paper since the 1800’s”. Really? How about t.p. that doesn’t make your ass bleed every time you crap? I think that was a fair improvement too.

I think, if C-W really puts their minds to it, they could become the next Snuggie. I mean sure, a blanket with arms is funny – but what’s funnier than a butt stick? NOTHING is the answer.

Sandy, I think if this takes off there’s a solid chance that your tennis racket idea could find its place as a niche alternative.

Brian, we can only open hope that the inevitable follow up video shows similar decorum. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

Brian,

You have, very quickly I might add, found the perfect time that you should have used your previous post. For $3.95 you could have used corrupted-files.com and sent that to your boss. It may have cost more that $3.95, as it would have been a Custom Order.

I don’t know what to say about such a useless product except, maybe, you have proved the invaluable lesson that there truly is something out there for everyone. I guess it is for home use only, as anyone that has seen this ad would know why you were carrying around this device.

I come from a long line of the constipated. We joke that toilet paper is only used for “confirmation,” as everything comes out hard as a rock. True, that is too much information, but so was this commercial. It seems about as convenient as using a tennis racket or a golf club to wipe your butt. I felt immediately compelled to run my anti-virus software after reading their site and watching the commercial, which never did load properly. I was probably lucky.

But, it was hysterical nonetheless.

It reminds me of perhaps my favorite Simpsons – “King Size Homer”, where Homer gains enough weight to be considered disabled. Eventually his hand becomes too meaty to use the phone, so he orders a “dialing wand”, which is surprisingly similar in principle to the Comfort Wipe. Except of course that one is a joke, and one is completely real and yours now for 19.95 plus shipping.

Some things are just too good to be true. This ad. The actors, who sadly may never be in front of a camera ever again. The whole idea of a stick to wipe your own ass. I’m still holding out for when I can get a robot to do what the ol’ C-W makes us do manually.

Thank goodness there’s finally an anatomically designed arm-extension wiping device! For years I’ve been using a metal pole with a fork duct-taped to the end, and it’s just been so uncomfortable.
