Oddity Archive: Episode 62 - Halloween Special 2014 (Archive Wares: Rejuvenique Facial System)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ต.ค. 2014
- Testing out a potential new recurring Archive-ism (a la VHS Vault or Record Rip-Offs) in which we look at (and test) products sold via TV commercial-offers from the 1980's through the early 2000's. First up: the Rejuvenique Facial Toning System.

"Said the grown man who hides behind a cardboard box..." Oh, Ben, I love you and your self-deprecating humor.
I know, right? Ben is awesome! 😎👍🏻
Am I the only one that thought that, from first seeing the video, that this was a product of the 1980's as opposed to the 1990's? I mean soft focus, blouses, the tacky furniture, the calming music. Maybe it's just me. XP
I want my first facial session from Oddity Archive.
8:20 is probably one of the best uses of a reference I've ever seen.
The gels on physical therapy-oriented electrical stimulation devices are intended to *increase* the conductivity, though you're going through much thicker skin to stimulate the muscles on, say, your knee. The thing is, the more you move your face, the more wrinkles you're going to get, so I don't get how anyone would believe stimulating the muscles was supposed to help you look younger-strengthening the underlying muscle structure wouldn't give you a facelift, no matter how much voltage you put through it. (I sense a missed opportunity for a Joker gag in there somewhere.)
Years later people will plug this into the wall and teleport through the phone lines.
"What came through didn't last long...Fortunately."
This would actually make a great slasher villain mask.
Or just a whole army of possessed people in a small town. lol
Well it could be worse, you could have bathed in the miracle waters of Jusenkyo springs. Pure Chinese spring water guaranteed to make you look so different, even your mother would not recognize you! (Note: This product may turn you into a member of the opposite sex, animal, or affront to the gods.)
Great episode by the way. I don't mind if this becomes a regular segment.
Are you describing the backstory of Ranma 1/2, dude? lol
Gel is probably electrode gel to actually improve the conduction. My TENS unit has the same stuff.
Oddity Archive is cool when you're high.
Great episode Ben I wouldn't mind seeing more Archive Wares episodes in the future.
Am I the only one who thinks this thing looks like something from a Saw movie?
James Bowen Thankfully, nope.
Apart from the "vintage p0rn0" music and the mask (Jason from Friday the 13th anyone?), nope...
Ben, this is an AMAZING idea for the archive! please, please do more!
Oh shit, if Dolan is endorsing something then it must be awful. Sorry Ben, you're gonna have to find something else.
William Shaffer, I've just changed my name, I'll probably change it back to Carol ward pretty soon!
*****, well that's an odd coincidence!
"Richard Kiel in drag" was killer.
Ben keeps finding incredibly cursed products and footage
Do the wonderboner!
1kenny30 "Swing your arms from side to side..." Oh, wait, that's the Mario. :P
My wife would like that!
Did I.... just watch ten minutes of a cosmetic porn video?
DAMN YOU ARCHIVE!
Your ratings aren't gonna go up like this!
Actually...it works. Not on my face, but on my swollen ankle by a physiotherapist to reduce the swelling initially so I could go on to maintain the reduction in swelling by exercise. TENS machines also work on the same principle, although in the opposite direction (my husband used one to counteract the pain of cancer and someone else I know with MS uses it to relieve pain, although I can't use it on my foot because the amount of metal scaffolding holding my ankle together would not play well with the TENS machine). Given the need for gel, this is probably very similar to what was used on my ankle to reduce the bursitis.
The video is hilarious and schlocky, and yeah, they're playing with fire with the FDA, but the actual way it works would probably be similar to the way the physio reduced the swelling in my foot. Given that they were using a device that could interfere with body function and is used in medical contexts, the FDA was right to pursue them over it!!
And my poor hubby with his TENS machine had to stick it down the front of his trousers and hold it there for half an hour. It wasn't exactly the most dignified of sitting positions and the steroids he was on negated any other...pleasure he got from it, but yeah, you could have been forgiven for giggling at it if you didn't know why he was having to sit like that :(. Just another nasty thing about degenerative diseases -- they take away your appetite, your libido, your strength to fight them, your will to live, your dignity and ultimately your life. 0/10, would not recommend.
I use a "Happy Halloween" mask...why does the Green Mile quote "roll on one" jump to mind?
Say what you will, but this would be perfect for my Shy Guy cosplay.
Just a quick chemistry lesson, water is NOT a conductor. Pure unionized water will not conduct at all. It's the salts or other impurities dissolved in the water that make it conductive. "Gels" in general can be considered non-conductive unless specially designed to conduct.
You still get my view on every episode.
You know what that gel really is? It's the same stuff they put on those electric pads when they're trying to resuscitate someone. You can tell by the color.
Check below the belt, maybe we can date before you transform back.
You are truly a brave man Ben. *salutes*
6:33 THANK YOU for finally providing a correct example of irony that I can point to when someone uses irony in place of coincidence. I know it's minor and everybody does it, but it still ticks me off.
Linda Evans plugging something with a baby oil-esque substance? Flashbacks to “Mitchell” ensue...
can beleive this episode was almost a year ago, time flies
Rewatching because Halloween. The clicking at 17:25 and 22:19 sounds uncomfortably similar to a stun gun discharging....
haha they still sell these on Amazon? And the reviews are amusing too. =)
SegaCDUniverse give your face a "treat".
Ben, you are a VERY brave man to try something that was made such a long time ago. Especially putting that cream on your face. YUCK.. Brave brave brave lol... Love your episodes though keep it up and yes it would be cool to see more of these episodes.
And the. It happened, it happened! And I felt so bad and I cried and I cried.
Comfort as in southern.
do you know what is the best facial alternative to this is an hot towel over the face trust me it works. Centrevez Vectra
You can still get it on Amazon.
It just hit me...that hair doingy... Inspector Gadget!
Great idea for the archive, does this mean we will see the Thigh Master in a few weeks?
How's Ben gonna use the Thigh Master when he doesn't like showing his face?
Is he gonna wear the cardboard box as a mask?
Hal Emmerich No, he's going to wear the rejuvenique!
+Hal Emmerich Film it so that his head is just out of frame.
Wonder why this didn't inspire somebody to make a cheap horror movie about this a la "Halloween 3".
you have the nostalgia critic for that . Centrevez Vectra
Would love to see an interview w the ladies that used this hibitualy..did it keep them younger looking at all?? Lol
Haha, do more of these Ben! My fav ep in a while!
Someone needs to use the mask for a slasher movie
Ben Minnotte is NOT homophobic NOR transphobic. Seriously.
Hey, I want one of those masks...do they have another variety of transformations?
These masks are dangerous! Didn't anyone remember what happened to that family who were required to wear those masks so they could get their family inheritance from grandpa?
They still make laughable infomercials today, that's for sure. That handheld vaporizer they have now is a hoot. Half of the users in the commercial look more like they're hitting a bong than getting health benefits.
I'm playing Archive archive catch-up, but I hope this becomes a regular thing.
This thing reminds me of the Guy Fawkes mask.
You were expecting just yet another ordinary stupid infocommercial product but it was I, Dio!
And thumbs up for the Mitchell song!
What's with your hair at the end? Is it supposed to be another effect of the Rejuvenique Facial System?
its trippy to think you can still buy this, and also updated versions with more functions.. scary! personally if i was worried about wrinkles i would just use a bowl of ice water and dip my face in it.. it does feel refreshing, tighten skin.. but blah.. wrinkles are part of aging and im ok with it. but im just a guy who grew up in the mountains of oregon, so yeah never been much of a metrosexual or whatever those guys are called who uses as much cosmetic/beauty stuff as women. scars are just part of life. rock on.
Haha, Ben this was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! XD
WE WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!! And I know of a thing that would be perfect: the Dr. Ho Muscle Massager. Seriously, look up the infomercial; it's loaded w/ things to take potshots at! :D
Just thinking about this makes my face hurt.
is this the device that ruined Victor von doom's face
Did anyone notice his hair color changed? In the beginning it was dark, at the end he turned blonde.
Well, Linda Evans is blond.
It did look somewhat wrinkled.
RIP Ben
So would he/she be Benita now?
"Belinda" I see what you did there.
Thanks for risking both your health and manhood just for our entertainment :}
Ren and Stimpy reference
17:10
👍
Ever noticed how this guy sighs a lot? I would suggest playing a drinking game for every time he does it, but then you'd probably get alcohol poisoning.
later for all those models got burnt due to wearing polyester nightwear next to an open fire place wearing the mask not an great idea only kidding. Centrevez Vectra
half of this video is a jojo reference
I reject my humanity, Ed!
👍
