The Home Shopping Network has bewildered me since the '90s. I never understood the phenomenon, why people get so attached to it . .

The gaudy ring this host is advertising takes a tumble off the display table in the middle of a home-shopping segment. Testing for scratch resistance, are we? Not so much.

This HSN host makes a minor mistake — no big deal. But instead of making a quick recovery, he neighs like a horse, openly declares his confusion, and tries to sell us "pystic" earrings. And then he laughs.

Is HSN still selling junk or has the network turned into an open therapy sesh? In this segment, someone calls into the show to ask the host not to have an on-air meltdown. Oh, and the caller wants to ask about a product that was featured ten years ago.

This is clearly a joke, but it was filmed by real Jewelry Television spokespeople. They thought a little false advertising could go a "long" way. Not so much.

I want me some of Conan's cable box. From "The Way-Too-Honest Home Shopping Network" channel to "The Too Demanding In Bed" channel, it offers the finest in home entertainment without all the fluff, special effects, or realistic plot lines. I'm already sold, so where do I sign up?

Home shopping doesn't disappoint these days, does it? In addition to the goods, we're getting a good laugh too! While trying to sell a fondue fountain, these two professionals overgrown third graders find themselves giggling at the mere mention of "little wieners" on the air.

We meet again, Mike Rowe! And this time you're patronizing selling a figurine made by Precious Moments. It's sweet and all, but what I find most precious is the way you completely diminish the product's charm with your mention of cowlicks and Buckwheat and bickering children.

In this QVC segment, the ultimate salesman is "promoting" The Original Lava Lamp while complaining about how it injured his hand. One thing I love about this guy is how utterly unimpressed he is with the product he's promoting and how he doesn't try to hide it from the shoppers at home. At least he's honest, right?
