Straight-up, this was my favorite infomercial when I was a '90s child without cable and addicted to television.
Never saw or heard of this infomercial.
Same! I couldn’t wait to grow up and refinish my own furniture with WRB 😅
Mike had some real balls throwing shade at old furniture wearing a sweater like that.
got the biggie sweater on 😂😂😂
Biggie Cosby

I like how they run every where.
It's all fun and games until you're at Antiques Roadshow.
"This wardrobe was worth $10,000, but the attempted restoration of this piece reduced its value. Now it's worth $20."

I go to sleep to these nightly. Thanks so much for adding it.
RIP Mike 😢
I remember this so well
This is the most gloriously 90s sweater that I think I've ever seen.
I remember watching lots of these back in the day. My mom didn't order QRB but she did buy the sandwich maker for $50. This was a few years before they showed up at Walmart for $5.
We had the SnakMaster also. It was actually not a piece of junk. It worked for YEARS.
@ Edge XL - so did I, I also used to watch the one in the early 2000's with the Australian guy and the one blonde woman, selling the Magic Bullet.
Love Mike and his sweaters!

I'm laughing my ass off at this comments section😂😂😂 absolutely comedy gold. I remember watching this infomercial a bunch of times and good grief, the blonde lady is horrifically grating and so loud I'm pretty sure she could be heard in outer space. I hope they gave everyone around her industrial strength earplugs so they didn't go deaf.
Hey! the lady in the middle of "volunteers", she was on Ron Popeil Pasta Maker commercial. Must be an occupation back in the day to be a studio audience member.
Yes, it's Jan. Too bad they didn't have Terry "Cajun Linguini" Scott as well!
Hahahaha. Terry Scott's the best. I believe in the TH-cam video (three-parter) I had commented on him stating something about wanting to know Scott Terry's backstory. Haha
@@maynardsmoreland Cajun linguini?
@@DizzyedUpGirl Cajun Linguini.
Yeah that occupation is called being an actor.
Late night. Summer time. Amazing Discoveries. 80’s bliss
All those items of furniture had quite clearly been painted recently to look old.
Love her outfit of Guess blue jean skirt and white Keds I wore that combo all thru 5th grade and middle school lol--shit I feel old

Hi Dr. Nick
Amazing Discoveries would be hard to revive without Mike, he was a great host.
Mike, is that cool Mike?
Yes, yes it is.
Mike, let me tell you Mike, this product Mike, is simple to use Mike. Mike, have you ever had problems refinishing wood products Mike? I know you have Mike. Mike, look Mike, let me show you what else QRB can do Mike. You ready Mike?
For anyone wondering, this is how you absolutely destroy the value of truly antique furniture (say, 1910s and earlier).
There was another version of this infomercial for QRB with a woman named Myrna from the audience. I remember this, 25 years later, because I remember thinking "What a bizarre name Myrna is."
I'm not sure if there was another version of this infomercial or another similar product but I remember that the infomercial was focused on the amazing antiques you could discover. I specifically remember they used the product to uncover a light colored wood table with a flower inlay. Was really hoping to see it in this video but maybe I'll get to see it again someday!
@@brendapie82 I don't think it was this episode. This was advertised through multiple programs and tv slots, after this was out first.
THIS was my favorite!!!

That sweater is so gangster
Bill Cosby wants it back
I ordered a QRB kit many years ago to refinish a vintage 1940's chest/dresser with 4 drawers I got at a thrift store for $85.00 that had a layer of brown paint and under that a layer of ivory or beige paint over really nice wood. QRB didn't work as easily or as quickly as shown in the commercials and there wasn't enough of the product to use on the whole dresser. I had to go to the hardware and buy regular chemical stripper to finish removing the paint. I don't remember if the one bottle of the finishing product was enough for the whole dresser or if I had to buy additional finish at the hardware store. I remember it was a lot of work and time. I still had to scrape and sand it. The chest/dresser turned out really nice but NO thanks to QRB. This was the one and only time I ever refinished a piece of furniture.
I used to watch this infomercial repeatedly as a kid and even back then, I noticed the bottle was pretty small. Especially that doofy stain you were suppose to match yourself. You could only make one batch!
I know what you mean. I bought an old side table from the 1930s from a used furniture dealer wanting to refinish it and a crusty old man told me not to fall for those infomercials and just buy a Formby’s kit. Glad I did so. It didn’t turn out perfectly, but pretty decent.
I was there for this. I wish they would have said leave it on for multiple hours and it would work. We started to all get a fume high from that studio , lol !
I remember eating cheap pizza at 1 am watching this while in college. Good times…
That Cosby sweater has 4 million colors

That's economical!
I like the cupcake-inator episode
LOL - I love how they just make up what it'll be "worth" after they refinish them... sorry guys, nope! :P
Why is he holding a microphone if he's miked already?
That sweater!
Joey, danny and uncle jesse should have advertised their spray guard 2001 on here
I was just thinking about that
That woman found a painting on the dressing table under the old paint? How did QRB know it should stop stripping and save the painting? That’s suspicious 😒
I can't believe they invented it! With Troy McClure
Carol’s cabinets looked ten times worse after qrb
1:20 it was ready for junk yet he paid 80 dollars for it anyway. Wtf !!

She reminds me of Joyce Bulifant and Elaine Joyce
She talks like Ethel from I Love Lucy
I'd bet a hundred bucks she does cartoon character voices.
I tolerated it for 12 seconds, got a headache and needed Tylenol, so I can only imagine POOR Mike must have taken a sedative when he was done with her.
I wonder what that studio smelled like, lol?
Unfortunately, this product did not work! We bought it, and the directions were impossible, and was a waste of money. No wonder they're out of business!
works on tv but not when you get it home
look at that cameraman at 6:10
Very economical
