Question: is that Mike Rowe narrating? I think so – which makes it 400% more hilarious.
Thanks to Anna L. for the link.

I love how they spell it Wunder Boner. I can just imagine hillbillies everywhere attempting a German accent….
And I sincerely hope that is Mike Rowe doing the voice-over. After all, promoting crazy tv gadgets is a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.
Oh. My. God. I busted a lung laughing.
“My wife would like that.”
No, trust me, she wouldn’t. Unless it comes with Mike Rowe…
I have nothing. I must be the only woman on the planet who doesn’t think Mike Rowe is droolworthy.
Oh, so that’s why they call it a boner.
Huh.
Sandra D, the “My wife would like that” comment is what got me too.
Imagine:
Man says to wife, “Honey, I got you the WonderBoner for Valentine’s Day. You can use it next time I go away on my fishing trip.”
“Oh really, my…won’t that be fun!” she says, anticipating some good times.
Dude will be lucky if it doesn’t become the ProstateProbe when she opens it.
@katie-
Yes, I think you are.
Mmmm Mike Rowe….
I second your mmmmmmm….
You gotta wonder, tho, a) how old the commercial is, and b) if it’s recent, did they use that term purposefully to stand out, marketing-wise.
That is TOTALLY Mike Rowe.
I don’t think it’s Mike Rowe. At first I thought it might be, but as the commercial progresses the similarity fades a bit.
While I think Mike Rowe is a good looking guy, I don’t get “drooly” over him nor do I get why so many women do.
My theory on fish is, you catch them, you clean them. Very convenient as I don’t fish and the man does. 🙂
It’s practically the guaranteed outcome.
I often ask myself whether these sorts of references in ads are intentional, as well. Sometimes I think so, but other times it must be accidental. For instance, during the holidays, Target had a product for making cocktails that had a big brown circle, inside of which said, “Rim it!”. My sister and I literally collapsed in the aisle laughing over that one. Then, just this week, in the mall I saw a store-front ad had a picture of a model with the words, “Crazy, Sexy, Cheap” written nearby. Why, oh why, would you want to look like those three things?
I don’t think its Mike Rowe. And the thought of whole boneless fish flopping around around being “wunder de-boned” is just disturbing…
blinkblink That is so wrong on so many levels. *snorfle*
Poorly-chosen name aside, that does look very convenient for cooking. I wunder if they still sell it?
But then again, I thought that pasta-draining pot/lid thing looked convenient, and I’ve heard nothing but bad things about it.
I just snorted my orange Kool-Aid out my nose. Ouch.
“My wife would like that!”
snort, sniff….die laughing.
I partilcularly like the box text: SPINELESS Wunder Boner.
Yup.
Did anybody else happen to catch that it comes with two extension rods? *snort* Like you’d need them if you actually had a wunder boner….
“So uh, Dave? Where did you get the Wunder Boner?”
Hahahahahaha
How have I gone all my life without buying one of these?
It’s Rowe, pre-hitting it big. He used to hawk QVC products on late-night tv.
Everybody’s gotta start somewhere. It’s actually kinda inspiring. From Wunder Boner to DC’s Wunder Man.
And I fall in on drool-worthy, but anyone who spends that much time in front of the camera makes me wonder if they can ever “turn it off” when the shiny lights go away.
I’d volunteer to find out, though. ;0
I’m in the camp that finds Mike Rowe droolworthy. He is good-looking, but I thing it’s his wit and sense of humor that puts him over the top from OK to dreamy.
Yes! That’s what I find most attractive about him too.
Ok… and the fact that he looks really, really good with his shirt off. *grin*
Did anyone else want to throw up a little bit when the spine came out on the wunder boner??? Aaaagh. I’m still cringing.
Mike Rowe…. mmmm. I agree.
Ad wouldn’t it be the Wunder DE-Boner??? Then again, thinking of the target audience… nevermind.
I had to Google Mike Rowe, as I’d never heard of him. And now I have. He is good-looking!
As for the “Wunder Boner”—“My wife would like that!” just about made me fall off the couch, laughing.
I must confess my mind was in the gutter on this one before I watched it.
