I used to get so damn hungry watching these damn infomercials at 2 and 3AM as a kid. I used to sneak and warm up a pizza lunchable or make a turkey sandwich or something! Lol
FYI: I'm a millennial. My family bought this and ... It worked! I wouldn't say it produced amazing tasting food, but it wasn't at all bad. We weren't terrible picky with our food so that must've helped too. Our house had a small kitchen so it, and other kitchen appliances, were kept on our fine dining room table for storage. It was a beloved piece of equipment that was used many times.
Just did some salmon with brown sugar and parsley last night with the compact version. It worked great. 20 minutes and the salmon was perfectly cooked. My wife loved it.
When I was a kid, I would watch this informercial nearly every morning I stayed at my Grandparents chalet. 'Speed Racer' on the Speed Network would air every morning at 7am and on several occasions this infomercial would air just before it at 630am. Kinda frightens me how much I remember the specifics of when I watched it.
When the woman at 2:16 says she lost 19 pounds in a month, and she says she ate like a pig, why did they have to show us the words, “I ate like a PIG”? I just found that hilarious.
Because pigs are the very definition of fatness, of glutony, of eating too much. Thats the advertising, get it? She lost 19lbs, WHILE eating AS MUCH AS A PIG = she lost weight while eating all the good american foods = losing weight while continuing to eat comfortably, not having to eat only rabbit food.
This infomercial is cheesey af, but my fam uses the rotisserie grill to make roast beef/chicken/pork loin at least twice a year for family gatherings since we got this almost twenty years ago(!) Showtime rotisserie is legit.
@@75pdubs Main things making it cheesy are the editing, clearly forced audience/co-host reactions, terrible ADR I still love it though! Rewatch all the time
We've had ours for about nine years now, and it works as well as when we first got it. It really does everything they say it does. Aside from frying, there's no better way to do a turkey.
Just got one yesterday and tried it for the first time is it true that you're not supposed to put spices on the outside of the chicken or we'll burn it
Growing up we had gotten one of these and my parents would get a big piece of roast beef and put it in here and I had sandwiches to take for school for a long time!! The best sandwiches ever lmao
This infomercial was a part of my childhood in the 90s. As a kid, I never understood why I was strangely attracted to this device and the infomercial itself. Now at age 36, I still think how cool it would be to have one 😅
I'm amazed the garden in background seems real and fabulous but kitchen is a studio I so wannabe see more off the garden . Also love these infomercials Ron is a great man so many cool inventions wish we could have gotten those in uk
I finally found one today for 20$ with almost everything with it. Got a couple chickens, a beef roast, a pork roast, and some nice hot dogs to try it out. I fully plan to make all my food rotate for at least a month. 😂
This infomercial is about the large standard model of the Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ from Ronco and the Showtime solid flavor injector makes it's debut. This show is hosted by Steve Bryant & Ron Popeil.
I don't know about the diet part, but i recently bought a Ronco Rotisserie and OMG its phucking amazing. I had the most juciest chicken ever, i love smoked chicken and brined chicken. 90 min for a whole chicken and its 100% done yet still super juicy. Get a good brine recipe, and an injector, brine over night.
When I was 13 I sent off for a Popeil's Pocket Fisherman. I still catch a lot of bass and bream with it. This dude was a master of Invention. True story.
And it makes a perfect gift for someone on your list this holiday season or for weddings, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or any holiday season with Christmas coming up, or to celebrate the New Year either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day!!
I bought one basically brand new for $40 on craigslist. I fucking love it, the chicken I made was juicy and skin perfectly crisp and golden brown. Gonna make duck next.
For many people, low-carb works very well to lose weight, but that short bit with the "doctor of cardiology" apparently roasting a chicken in his exam room just cracked me up! They didn't specify where his "St. Joseph's Hospital" was located - I'm betting Zimbabwe. I know people who have this product and love it, but man this infomercial has some cheezy stuff going on. I was really hoping Ol' Ron would at some point pull out a spray can and touch up his hair.
I saw two of them at a thrift store just yesterday. I think they were about no more than $10. When I saw them I just laughed because I remember this infomercial from as recently as my college days and that wasn't a significantly long time ago.
When times were decent and you could fill up a full gas tank in a car for $10 bucks. When you could live off a single job. When you could hope for something in life. Now all that is gone.
I think it would have been so hilarious if when Steve said “I always wanted to do this, you set it and?” Instead of the audience saying “forget it” they were silent.
The name of the piece of music at the end of the informercial (which is used in so many of Ron Popeil's infomercial's) is "Central Park" from Network Music Library.
Not HBO, but the Biography channel did do a 1hr special on Ron some years ago, if you google his name and go to his website, click on "watch biography" and it will pull it up.

Can anybody recommend how to cook chicken legs and make them nice and crispy in this thing? Do I just put them in one of the cooking baskets I got with this machine? What kind of seasonings should I use?
Drumsticks are in the basket as I write. January 13, 2024. Last year I bought the large digital 5000 series one at a thrift store for $15. Came with 8 kabob rods, gear wheels and spit rods, the large basket, the platform, drip pans, warming dish and cover. Grab one when you see one!

You can also get the marinade booklet free, a booklet full of mouthwatering recipes and instructions to get the most out of the Showtime Rotisserie and BBQ standard model, and you get it all for just 3 Easy Payments of only $39.95 and free shipping for the holidays absolutely free!!
Love these infomercials lol. 1250 watts is less than most hair dryers. Umm a hair dryer isn't on for an hour either. And baby back ribs are "great" for a high protein low carb diet lol. The BBQ sauce is loaded with carbs.
The doctor has a rotisserie running right in his office LOL these old infomercials are hilarious.
You can’t just set and forget YOUR HEART!
RIP Ron Popeil. I'm going to set my memory to NEVER forget you.
Before I got cable, I used to watch this like five times a day.
Vincent Vega lol..I did the same
I watched this since 2001
It was this one and the pasta maker for me
I used to watch these infomercials at 3 am in the morning when I was a younger...I've never seen old people so enthusiastic about forgetting something
@Derrick Wade
I can hardly see these at as Seen on TV stores in this present fiscal year.
🤣
Lol
I used to get so damn hungry watching these damn infomercials at 2 and 3AM as a kid. I used to sneak and warm up a pizza lunchable or make a turkey sandwich or something! Lol
Why were you smoking so much weed as a kid?
Me,too. Everytime I couldn't sleep I would turn on the TV and no matter what time it was...it was on somewhere.
The first payment and s&h price was to cover the entire value. The other 3 payments was pure profit.
s&h as everyone knows is the initials for shipping and handling
Wrong!!
Lololol
You either never had one or you had one that was dysfunctional.
But they said a $500 value!!!😂
Ours STILL works perfectly! It's making a chicken right now and it was a Christmas gift in 1999 but sat un opened in the basement for like 15 years! 🐓
I watched this all the time as a kid. Idk why, but I liked the late night infomercials.
Remember coming home after bartending years ago....turning the tv on and watching this until I fell asleep.
RIP Ron! Often imitated, never duplicated!
watching the solid flavor injector inject garlic and stuff in to meat was the very first form of ASMR
wait ok YES
FYI: I'm a millennial. My family bought this and ... It worked! I wouldn't say it produced amazing tasting food, but it wasn't at all bad.

Ron was truly ahead of the times. Now we have air fryers. It all started right here. Had this for years and it worked.
And he basically promoted a keto diet 15-20 years before everyone else caught on.
@@bgva82Not true. The Atkins Diet and South Beach Diet were quite popular at the time this aired. Ron was just jumping on the trend.
@@timothylong3722 Forgot all about Atkins
My parents had theirs for years too. They loved it.
Yea because everytime I go backpacking or camping this is the first thing I remember to pack
ha I laughed reading that ha!!
I guess if you're camping in an RV....
You sound so stupid...
Just did some salmon with brown sugar and parsley last night with the compact version. It worked great. 20 minutes and the salmon was perfectly cooked. My wife loved it.
I would watch these late at night when I couldn't sleep! Same exact infomercial 100000000 times! Love it!
You can’t just set and forget your heart. Thank you very much, doctor.
And conveniently he has his in the office cooking up a turkey breast lol
@@ENTERTAINMENT35yea what he said was right but absolutely hilarious how he has one in his office cooking a Turkey 🤣
The dubbed-in voice overs here and there are hilarious. It's like they taped the segment and then realized he forgot to say some things
An icon infomercial king was a legendary. Rest in peace, Ron. Until meet up again
“SET IT AND FORGET IT!!!”
I would watch these infomercials all the time! I love them!
When I was a kid, I would watch this informercial nearly every morning I stayed at my Grandparents chalet. 'Speed Racer' on the Speed Network would air every morning at 7am and on several occasions this infomercial would air just before it at 630am.
Kinda frightens me how much I remember the specifics of when I watched it.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve watched this infomercial.
Hello my friend
I remember wanting my parents to buy this as a kid.
When the woman at 2:16 says she lost 19 pounds in a month, and she says she ate like a pig, why did they have to show us the words, “I ate like a PIG”? I just found that hilarious.
Yah😂
In PINK
Because pigs are the very definition of fatness, of glutony, of eating too much.

Ahahahaahahahahzhhzhzhzhzhzhz
This has me laughing way to hard
Why do you say it’s cheesy?
@@75pdubs Main things making it cheesy are the editing, clearly forced audience/co-host reactions, terrible ADR
I still love it though! Rewatch all the time
@@therealjasonpark me too. I think they’re great. I would love to be in the audience.
I got one at a Thrift store and it works just like it says. It's awesome, prime rib, and a 15lb turkey.
Really? I wouldn't dare use a used cooking product. You never know who used it before.
@@CaptainPupu You must have never been to a restaurant then.
@@jambon6451lol. Previous owners could have cooked dog poo in it.
We've had ours for about nine years now, and it works as well as when we first got it. It really does everything they say it does. Aside from frying, there's no better way to do a turkey.
Eating out is way more expensive!
Just got one yesterday and tried it for the first time is it true that you're not supposed to put spices on the outside of the chicken or we'll burn it
Ron made a turkey fryer too.
When I was a kid I was fascinated by these infomercials for unknown reasons.
I gained 90 pounds in 60 days thanks to Ronco
How does they happen?
I'm 34 now and I fully credit this infomercial to my eating habits today. They made fish, veggies, and more look so damn good I swear 😂
Ron was a great guy and is missed so very much. He's that kind of guy who could have made friends with anybody!
RIP Ron, thanks for everything!
Growing up we had gotten one of these and my parents would get a big piece of roast beef and put it in here and I had sandwiches to take for school for a long time!! The best sandwiches ever lmao
I'm really here watching old infomercials at 3 am lol
This infomercial was a part of my childhood in the 90s. As a kid, I never understood why I was strangely attracted to this device and the infomercial itself. Now at age 36, I still think how cool it would be to have one 😅
It’s crazy how much these old infomercials were a part of the millennial generation’s childhood.
I'm amazed the garden in background seems real and fabulous but kitchen is a studio I so wannabe see more off the garden .
Also love these infomercials Ron is a great man so many cool inventions wish we could have gotten those in uk
I finally found one today for 20$ with almost everything with it. Got a couple chickens, a beef roast, a pork roast, and some nice hot dogs to try it out. I fully plan to make all my food rotate for at least a month. 😂
Nice find! Was that at an estate sale? Sounds like a steal.
"I lost 10 of the hardest pounds in the world."
"It wasn't hard at all."
RIP to the infomercial GOAT
And Ron, the Showtime Rotisserie and BBQ XL is a perfect gift. If you're a fisherman, a hunter, a backpacker, a camper, this is for you!
I remember seeing this infomercial when I stayed up late when I was a kid. :)
This infomercial is about the large standard model of the Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ from Ronco and the Showtime solid flavor injector makes it's debut. This show is hosted by Steve Bryant & Ron Popeil.

Uninterested Host: ... Oh YeAh
I bought one basically brand new for $40 on craigslist. I fucking love it, the chicken I made was juicy and skin perfectly crisp and golden brown. Gonna make duck next.
Omg me too .mine still had plastic on most of the parts .i paid 8 bucks for the 5000 model my husband and i both love this thing 😁
Did you set it and forget it?
@@johnny1963ify yeah set it in the cupboard and forget about it
I remember this particular infomercial so well.. I just knew when I was older and on my own I was going to get one and rotisserie EVERYTHING 😂
Let’s all thank Ron for his awesome contributions to the world!
For many people, low-carb works very well to lose weight, but that short bit with the "doctor of cardiology" apparently roasting a chicken in his exam room just cracked me up! They didn't specify where his "St. Joseph's Hospital" was located - I'm betting Zimbabwe.

Burbank, California. He is affiliated with Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center
For request of additional accessories, a separate shipping and handling fee applies to the actual order.
I just got one yesterday at Goodwill for $12.00 , no basket but Amazon has it for sale
@14:39 is my all time favorite part of any infomercial.
NO ONE was thinking $200! 😂
Is the guy at 00:16 Frank Welker?
I remember Steve Bryant from QVC! Back in the day. 😊
I got one at a yardsale today for $5
Lol
caubuy Wow. I wish that I went with you. That is a good deal. Do it work.
I saw two of them at a thrift store just yesterday. I think they were about no more than $10. When I saw them I just laughed because I remember this infomercial from as recently as my college days and that wasn't a significantly long time ago.
@FrozenUSA
Ah really?
caubuy Or 5 easy payments of $1.00 without Shipping and Handling.
Never wanted a roast so much then when watching these at 2am back in the 90’s.
Did this air in the 90s? I didn't see this infomercial until 2003/2004.
This infomercial first aired on June 24, 2001.
When times were decent and you could fill up a full gas tank in a car for $10 bucks. When you could live off a single job. When you could hope for something in life.
Now all that is gone.
RIP Ron he died a few days ago July 28th at his home
1935-2021
I think it would have been so hilarious if when Steve said “I always wanted to do this, you set it and?” Instead of the audience saying “forget it” they were silent.
I would have cried laughing if that happened 😂😂😂
You hear one guy clearing his throat
great idea for a youtube poop
Im almost positive they have either a a guy there or a mass8ve sign that lights up to tell then when to do something so that never happens gaga
Love that he’s handling raw pork & then touching everything.
Imagine you're having a consultation with your doctor, and he just got a big ass chicken rotating in the background.
The name of the piece of music at the end of the informercial (which is used in so many of Ron Popeil's infomercial's) is "Central Park" from Network Music Library.
He said that pork loin roast was impregnated 😂😂😂 at 11:15
I keep coming back to this
Best staff what I have from infomercials in TV for last 5-8 years
So I looked it up. Toootaaal BS about the HBO movie on his life. (Side Note: best part is the Latina woman talking about sausages)
Nice!
Not HBO, but the Biography channel did do a 1hr special on Ron some years ago, if you google his name and go to his website, click on "watch biography" and it will pull it up.
Im certain there must be a meme or 100 out there with her face and the word 'sausages'
"Comiendo salchichas! SALCHICHAS!"
I watched his documentary in a class
I Love That Infomercial!

I remember when I brought this along time ago it worked perfectly then just like now I would not mind buying it again.
I've been missing this my whole life. 😃
as a kid i would switch saturday morning cartoons for infommercials and this had to be top 3 at least .
I remember watching this when I was a kid
Yup
Ron could sell a nickel for 25 cents. That’s how good he was.
around the 11:30 mark, Steve getting really excited about his meat.
Yes He Is.

Does anyone notice the amount of raw meat that Ron touches without washing his hands lmao
Can anybody recommend how to cook chicken legs and make them nice and crispy in this thing? Do I just put them in one of the cooking baskets I got with this machine? What kind of seasonings should I use?
In the basket with alittle fresh lemon juice and pepper. Or with sprigs of rosemary or oregano.
2020 anyone? Miss this infomercial
Love all the audio dubs 🤣

I remembered seeing this product at Kohls.
Why would this be a great gift for a backpacker?
Right! They say it on all the Showtime infomercials. On the regular one too. It makes no sense.
Hey you know that knife set you see on TV? "Oh yeah...."
Yeah, as reference to the Miracle Blade knife set. Ron with his Six Star Knives were just an exact duplicate of that.
19 lbs in 30 days eating sausages. Wow! 🎉😂❤😮❤😅
1:03 "¡Buenas! ¡Buenas!" LOL Oh, Steve
The “doctor” is hilarious
I lost 26 lbs in 20 days. At least that's what the cue card told me to say...
Lol don't make fun I love food cooking infomercials m
Cue card? Fuck that! It's all paid endorsements !
Really, why?
Yeah losing 26 pounds in 20 days sounds like an underlying critical illness is involved.
Ron has a big non stick rod he wants to show you. His liquid flavor injector is also perfect for heroin use.
+Maryland Jake His non stick rod is also a liquid flavor injector
That's bullshit. The needle is too big for heroin use.
So, too big for Wonder Woman?
jfrey1 Hahaha fuckah you
FLAVORED heroine use thank u very much
11:15 Why did he need to say that?
Where is this HBO film he mentioned?
Love these infomercials lol.
1250 watts is less than most hair dryers. Umm a hair dryer isn't on for an hour either. And baby back ribs are "great" for a high protein low carb diet lol. The BBQ sauce is loaded with carbs.
At like 2:30 you can see Kathy Mitchell who does the red e set express infomercials pretending to be an audience member lol can’t believe it
I don't see her
Yeah where ?
I'm calling now!!
Donde puedo comprar las piezas de repuesto. Me pueden dar la dirección por fabor
Rest In Peace, Ron Popeil🌹
Ron was a great man!!!
49 years old and I'm just hearing that baby back ribs and pork roast is diet food! 😂😂😂
