Set it and forgot it! I spent more time watching this guy growing up than anyone else.

Still have 2. I keep one in my golf bag. Power move to make a birdie and catch a fish in a 2-minute span. 😂

A friend of mine caught two northerns with one of these just yesterday. The reel fell out of the rod while trying to land the second fish.

My dad still has one of these. You have to call it by its full name in his presence or he'll correct you.

His nice fishing boat was docked in Channel Islands Harbor for years, named the Pocket Fisherman

The sad truth is that I need this stuff now way more than a rotisserie cooker.

ExtraAgressiveHugger@reddit

Yes!! I still reference this stuff because I use dark spray on greys before I can get my roots done.

You watched more Popeil than anyone else.... is that the most amount of Ron Popeil infomercials possible?

So you just mean you watched more Popeil than you watched Mr Rogers or Mr Dressup or Jerry Springer or Montel Williams?

Or do you mean nobody watched more Ron Popeil stuff than you did as your Popeil Grand World Champion?

Those rotisserie chickens always looked so damn good!

It works great, but the best part is all the things on the oven and in the instructions that say " DO NOT SET IT AND FORGET IT"

[-]

johnvalley86@reddit

That seems like the ultimate betrayal

My parents had one and it was amazing

I’ve never had one but I have been saying “set it and forget it” every time I cook something for years.

[-]

Least-Task276@reddit

My parents had one too! The chicken was good. My dad would always say the tag line when they made one.

[-]

ElectricPenguin6712@reddit

I watched that infomercial every time I saw it was on

Rough-Boot9086@reddit

When you only have about 8 channels to choose from, you can't be too picky. Especially early mornings

[-]

TermBusy1086@reddit

As a 9 year old who didn’t cook, I had such a strong desire to own a rotisserie oven.

The only person to push mint jelly ever.

Same. Just realized I’ve wanted to make dehydrated watermelon for like 30 years… probably time to make it happen

We had one! And as other commentary has proven, Dad's were living their best beef jerky life.

Except my step-dad. He cannot cook at all yet is convinced he is the 2nd coming of Emeril. His beef jerky was hardly jerky and I question whether it was beef or something else.

We had one and it was pretty awesome. my dad got really good at making beef jerky with it.

I wanna shine some pennies! I wanna mend some leather!

I wanna Krazy-glue my head to the bottom of a biiiiiig steel girder!

(Please no C.O.D.'s--Don't miss out on this deal)

Help me! Mr. Popeil!

TheBackSpin@reddit

The joy my father got from saying this. Thar infomercial was on all time in my house, and yes of course we had one. Bomb rotisserie chicken

[-]

SilentReflection101@reddit

Holy fuck! I set it and forgot it for 15 years!

[-]

misterlakatos@reddit

Haha yes I remember this dude always showed up on weekends.

I remember the local networks always showed infomercials like this on weekend afternoons, especially when it was not football season (since back then ABC, CBS and NBC were airing CFB and/or NFL every weekend). Just brutal.
