Infomercialism: Veggetti

[@hungrypuff1]

'My wrist is having more of a workout than when those pictures of Jennifer Lawrence were released.' This is why we love you Mike.

[@MiniMackeroni]

So it's a... giant pencil sharpener with tiny blades sticking out?

[@DioBrandonZeta]

I've used weirder things to masturbate.

[@attilamagyar91]

Shinobitachi1 for example?

[@ohdaniboy2085]

This interests me

[@th3d3storoy3r]

Shinobitachi1 This is relevant to my interests.

[@DarkMario2]

*zucchini sharpener

[@GamesFromSpace]

To sum up the review: "I don't really like anything at all about vegetables. The product is fine though."

[@AdjectiveOtter]

This is a great option for those who are trying to cut out carbs. Spaghetti is one thing that is straight out forbidden, our alternative was to pair our favorite sauce with stripped vegetables but the task of stripping them was always long and tedious and messy. This product is a godsend and will picking one up myself. Thanks for the demonstration Mike!

[@MrHitmancheg]

A working product on the Infomercialism? This is, my friends, an outrage!

[@BrightSpark]

Have you forgotten about the Poo Pourri?

[@minefilms1122]

Bright Spark and the hutzler banana slicer? and the big top donut?

[@thetwistedsamurai]

Aaron Gosselin The hutzler didn't slice all the way, and the donut wasn't even a fucking donut.

[@kristina80ification]

+Bright Spark and the Stufz though in the Stufz case you could just as easily, and slighty faster, just take some cheese and form a patty around it by hand.

[@attilamagyar91]

"Potato is a bit pain in the ass" that is.

[@legosrore]

I found this with a friend (also a fan of Infomercialism!) at a Walgreens. Many a laughs were shared, and many a weird looks were given.

[@TheBeepen]

"My hands are getting more a work-out then when those pictures of Jennifer Lawrence were released." XD

[@MV96_]

Vegetti: the unholy fusion of Vegeta and Mr. Resetti.

[@fishbulb3926]

Veggettaboutit!

[@jenniferbrady8368]

I received the Veggetti pro for Christmas, and it's surprisingly fun to use. I've made a sort of slaw for veggie wraps, and I've made baked potato chips. using the "ribbon" blade.

[@cheetaking243]

Zucchini pasta is actually really delicious! The thing that this infomercial got wrong is that they made it look like you're supposed to just eat the zucchini raw. You're not. Saute it in olive oil or butter first, and the vegetable flavor will become very mild, and the noodles will actually get limp just like actual spaghetti. Try it! It's really delicious, and it's how this low-carb Italian dieter still eats the pasta dishes I crave.

[@ebyas89]

Cool

[@cheetaking243]

***** Nah, no criticism on Mike, his entire schtick is just doing exactly what the infomercials tell him to do. I just wanted to let everyone know that it actually does work, because I eat zucchini (and spaghetti squash) as pasta alternatives all the time.

[@satellite1882]

Surely if you cook it in olive oil butter. Then cover in a creamy sauce is going to be less healthy than regular pastor because the least normal pasta you just boiling water.

[@cheetaking243]

mark sanderson Simple carbohydrates are way worse for you than olive oil and butter. Plus regular pasta has a very low nutrient content, while with zucchini noodles you get a healthy dose of vitamin C, fiber, potassium, vitamin b-6, and magnesium. (Also, if you're doing calorie math, an equal amount of pasta and zucchini by weight contain 310 calories and 33 calories respectively. So even when you add the extra 100 calories from a tbsp of butter, zucchini pasta still has half the calories of normal pasta.)

[@seigeengine]

mark sanderson You can also just boil these veg noodles too.

[@aizaavupre77]

Lol .. I absolutely LOVE your wit, humor and style. You make me smile and chuckle. Thank you I needed this today. :)

[@museofthesea]

The spiky thing is for holding things when they get short so you don't hurt your fingers on the blades. The device in general is just a clever and small mandolin (the kitchen implement, obviously, not the musical instrument), but I like how it can do longer strips.

[@GhostDragon10]

I am addicted to your channel and I just found it yesterday

[@twofuzzystoners4870]

They actually made the packaging convenient. It's a miracle!

[@Mikeanglo]

"Vegetti, what's the scouter say about his power level?!" "It's 14.99 plus shipping." "WOT 9000!?!!1"

[@CharlieFlemingOriginal]

Does it fold up conveniently and fit in your pocket and work on a boat?

[@TomboyCEO]

But does it also work on cheese

[@CharlieFlemingOriginal]

The answers to our question are paramount to any other in the world :D

[@PinieNox]

Nappa: Veggetti what is his power lvl Veggetti: its over nine thousand "crushes scouter"

[@arronshutt]

I like to see you sharpen more things. Like a Salami, banana, chocolate or a block of ice.I bet no-one has done a sharpened Swiss roll either. The possibilities for a viewer request follow-up show are endless. Also, what did you do with that spaghettified veg? Any interesting recipes? I think there's a diet week season you could try in being only able to eat healthy things that have been in spaghettied form. You can cheat a bit by having all-bran, noodles or actual spaghetti pasta.. :)

[@thisisMYname223]

I like the way you think. I'd watch the shit outa that. I mean who wouldn't want to see Mike shove random objects into his veggetti!

[@The_Keh27]

From the makers of "Will it Blend" comes "Will it Vegetti?"

[@arronshutt]

I've never seen a Italian salami shredded into meaty shoelaces. Might be quite exciting on film. And a real test for the shredding plate in the Vegethingy.

[@AKindChap]

Oh god. Why'd you say that? Imagine how many "Will it sharpen?" channels there's going to be now?

[@emilyfries5649]

Korahn27 But be careful....Vegetti kills

[@StevenAlpert]

"YOUR ZUCCHINI ISN'T ENDLESS!" Speak for yourself Mike :P Sorry, I had to!

[@Foxpawed]

I presume the spikey base thing is what you're supposed to use to grip potatoes and other things that you couldn't otherwise easily twist into there without risk of hurting yourself.

[@jackmcslay]

Hey Vegetti, what does the scouter say about his power level?

[@Coffee_and_Games_Official]

Jack Mcslay its a over used maem

[@schwarzerritter5724]

+polol770 Don't you mean "OVER 9000 USED"?

[@Coffee_and_Games_Official]

well played

[@uegk-zb9xp]

@@schwarzerritter5724 😂😂

[@GriffandZeus]

The plastic spiky thing you took out at the beginning is to stick into the end of the veg so you can feed it all of the way in.

[@alybabyy2612]

For the cheese, I guess you can call it SHARP cheddar hahaha... ok bye.

[@jacemachine]

Was that sharp cheddar, by chance?

[@jacobg6628]

it is now.

[@OttoVonGarfield]

Jacob Gray YEAAH!!!!

[@Jayrah7]

Thanks for reviewing this! I was thinking about buying this for my diabetic brother-in-law since he can't have regular pasta. It's nice to see that it isn't a piece of junk.

[@Semiosphere]

Just found your channel a while back and I must say, well done! Really funny stuff. I love your dry humor. Keep it up! :)

[@dennett316]

The whole spaghetti angle doesn't really work, but it's kind of a neat little gadget for doing daft things with veg for salads and sandwiches and the like. I'd kinda like to try this, if only to try it with a potato and fry up the results to make crisps.

[@CommodoreFan64]

looks like it would work better if you pealed the potato, and left it whole if it's not a big one. and using the other piece that came with it, would help in getting the potato into the thing.

[@MM-fc9fz]

ZO

[@MM-fc9fz]

Mean't ZP by YZ

[@seigeengine]

No, that's actually what it's best for: Spaghetti. Vegetable spaghetti is a (kinda?) big thing.

[@anakoART]

Omg that's the second time you actually made me want to buy a product. The first was a Slushy Maker, but it's rarely available in my country and very expensive, but this thing, it costs like nothing and I love zucchini, so now I can't wait for my package and tasty dinner xD

[@caigashanterus1442]

You know, I kind of want to know what this guy's daily life is like nowadays. Does he actually have a bunch of random gadgets around his house after discovering that they weren't completely useless on this show, or does he still just stick to the basic stuff in the end.

[@Sim0n98]

Zucchini? Don't surrender to the Americans like that!

[@thomasjenkins7506]

zucchini > courgette sorry, but you brits lost this one.

[@weirdproq]

***** It's really good, in a chocolate zucchini cake.

[@Eisofice]

Thomas Jenkins one word, and that word is Aubergine. It had to be said.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

Jasmine Nice i fully agree. that's why i said "this one." Aubergine > eggplant.

[@TheBT]

Thomas Jenkins However eggplant leads to better jokes, I can say My parents have an egg plant in their garden, when I go round there I eat their fresh home grown eggs :D

[@TheCinemaniac]

* Insert overused put your willy in it joke here *! LOL

[@theconquerorx9676]

There's now an advert for this on the telly, here in the UK, though they pronounce the name as Mike thinks it should.

[@TheKyGuy]

The ending gives a whole new meaning to "sharp cheddar."

[@WobblesandBean]

I make zucchini pasta all the time, it's DELICIOUS! I use a cheese grater to do it, but I admit, this would probably make the job way easier and faster.

[@Freak80MC]

This thing is basically an oversized pencil sharpener.

[@ThePandaAgenda]

This might actually be REEEEALLY useful when making sashimi plates. You also don't waste as much of the ingredient as you would when manually cutting the strips.

[@R0XYF0X]

In Italy you would pronounce the g in Veggetti like they did in the advertisement.

[@justjo7687]

the little thing you didn't know what to do with, is for the potato or rounded items to turn easily in... its teeth dig into it and as you turn it, it works wonders i love this :)

[@pennyjack2]

Wine, late nights, and a credit card

[@PrincessHarmonyMoonlight]

How are you doing Pinkie Pie ^.^ ~

[@pennyjack2]

Princess Rainbow Dash Hey Dashy, how you doing? :P ^_^

[@PrincessHarmonyMoonlight]

Im great today thnx :p hoof bump! /)

[@diamondfailer11]

Pinkie Pie three years later, and this comment chain still disgusts me.

[@suicune2001]

I saw this at the store the other day thought how it could never work. I'm surprised it does! I still have no use for it but yay on them for making a large veggie sharpener.

[@SpacemanHardy]

Here's a thought: Have you ever thought of taking one of those large blocks of ham, bologna, salami, pepperoni or sausage and putting it through the Vegetti to make "Meat Noodles"? You could even try it with a hot dog or kielbasa if nothing else. It goes completely against what you're *supposed* to do with the gadget, but that's just part of the fun, isn't it?

[@kristina80ification]

calling strips of veggies that vaguely resemble spaghetti pasta or linguine or spaghetti was a trend over here in the US for a while, I never understood it and am glad it is over

[@ShadowWolfRising]

i dunno man, being able to make curly hashbrowns with this seems pretty cool.

[@OttoVonGarfield]

Vegetti, what does the scouter say about it's calorie level Vegetti: It's under 9000!!!!!!

[@mazzyelf]

I kind of want this to make novelty meals for my guineapigs!

[@BigMacsDontNeedPickles]

"It stinks.. It smells like.. Plants"

[@assadi89]

Lets kill Dracula with the leftovers

[@jenniferbrady8368]

I'd try it. It could be a nice alternative to pasta if you're wanting lower carb option. I'd give it a shot with zucchini since I'd like to find new ways to use it. But I'd steam the "noodles" for a couple minutes to make them softer and less raw. Hah. I kind of want one. .

[@1984potionlover]

Why doesnt he use the pointy end bit to secure the vegg for turning rather than just turning the vegg barehanded? Sometimes he isn't very bright.

[@ZebUrsoThera]

I HOPE YOU MADE LOTSA VEGGETTI!

[@bumblebee7838]

"In just seconds" tectonic plates push up mountains. Might be a few of them, but still they are just seconds.

[@Madcattlx]

Mike: Veggetti, what's the infomercial say about it's usefulness level? Veggetti: IT'S OVER 9000! Mike: What?! There's no way that can be right!

[@peterdoa1]

it is a vegetable sharpener

[@RobinsTaste]

That was actually...impressive!

[@pureboy1491]

Tip: if an infomercial says "the secret is ..." don't buy it. It won't work.

[@etabetta1]

That courgette never seemed to get any smaller

[@shadowman2192]

This guy is hilarious. He kind of sounds like Alan Rickman.

[@emilinrose]

why the hell has NO ONE MENTIONED THE SPINY LID THING RIGHT ABOVE THE 6:13 THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR POTATOES?

[@gyroc1_]

Timely! I just bought one of these and sliced my finger on it! PS Watch out for the metal part that sticks out that's not a blade...it is also a blade... a skin-slicing blade.

[@candicechong1663]

I love the grating sound of the "veggetti"!

[@SamyLovesSam]

i actually have it. i find it so difficult to clean and half of the stuff gets stuck

[@andrewsmyth1858]

You should have stuck the carrot in the end of a drill and then had a go of sharping them

[@thisisMYname223]

You think that sounds ridiculous now but wait until they make the veggetti turbo (as seen on tv)

[@ShojoBakunyu]

"That sounds like a disease of the vagina!" ROFLMAO

[@WakoDoodle]

Vegeta: Vegetti? The name copying is over 9 thousand! On the informercialmism! :3

[@Hammerhead547]

You can buy fresh made pasta made with vegetable juice added as a flavorant at the grocery store...or you could just cook the vegetables into the sauce.

[@caranaworld]

'Let's carrot this bitch!' Sounds about right.

[@gjwilson]

That spikey white plastic plug part is probably meant to be used to stab onto the end of what your shredding. That way your fingers wont get near the blades and its then also easier for you to turn awkward items like the potato.

[@ryancollins312]

something that I'm sure will make you happy there is know a version 2.0 one of these know I'm sure your love.

[@SniperWalrus]

Yep...You should feel awkward after the dog dong remark... ;|

[@coralaisly]

lol I have a crank operated spiralizer, and I LOVE it. I use it every week, and it's a lot easier to use than one of these.

[@KefkeWren]

That actually seems like a product that I might conceivably use, at least once.

[@officialJoCa]

Someone made me spaghetti with that thing and I had no idea it wasn't just regular noodles. Once it's boiled and covered with meat sauce it tastes exactly the same. Pretty cool if you're trying to lose weight or something.

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

I like vegetable 'pasta' occasionally, so I may actually check this out. Looks like it does what it says!

[@KonElKent]

I did scream "what about cheese?!"

[@VanillaMadeleine]

Thats so cute xD a sharpener for your veggies, who would have thought haha

[@Thegorfeld]

its like a sharpener for vegetables

[@Rpground]

If you still have this, it would be great for when you do "A Week on Vegan" when you hit the subscriber milestone.

[@thesacredbeast2000]

my mom got a veggetti and she uses it to make stir fry which it works really well for

[@astrangeone]

I sometimes make something similar with a peeler. Much easier, but it takes forever.

[@quenjankosky7348]

Mike Jeavons, the Stuart Ashens I never met.

[@ashez2ashes]

I saw this at the store the other day and I think I might actually get one to try to eat low carb again.

[@EpikGamers10]

Holy shit! They didn't make the package impossible to open!!!

[@HylianOverlord]

My zucchini is endless.

[@rogertopful]

Veggetti: IT'S OVER 9000!!!

[@LordGrandKaiser]

So basically it's a salad maker that gives you strips instead of slices. I can dig it.

[@pureboy1491]

2:48 I was expecting his eye to be veggetied out

[@Darman0430]

Why is named so obviously after spaghetti when it clearly makes fettuccine shaped strips?

[@ausintune9014]

[@alexawef]

Oh my god i love how great this guy is lmfao

[@Goldenbane]

Oh crap! Mike forgot to show us how well it works on his feet! XD

[@MrMatte0000]

Imagine making chips out of the potato "pasta". Hmmm.

[@DonPeyote420]

You have to use the pointy thingy for potato probably

[@coreymeyer6488]

It's a pencil sharpener for vegetables!

[@devcycler]

looks like that thing you pulled out of the end would have helped with the potato...

[@Mannfr3d]

I'm actually considering buying two of these from ebay as gifts. Scary.

[@vandercudo]

Seems perfect for salads, am amazed they didn't advertise it on that...

[@kristina80ification]

[@CoOzEbOy1]

If it works on cheese, he should climb on in there!

[@oiwithyou]

Vegetti! What does the scouter say about his pasta level?!

[@Livin-86]

Yeah as soon as I saw this thing, I said its just a giant pencil sharpener.. But at least it actually DOES what its advertized to do.
