Vince Offer

[7] In 1996, Offer directed and appeared in The Underground Comedy Movie, which was met with negative reviews and led to several lawsuits.

The film has sold in excess of 100,000 copies and Offer has used the proceeds from sales to file a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology.

[citation needed] In 2013, Offer released the universally panned InAPPropriate Comedy, which he directed, wrote and appears in as a character called 'Peeping Tom'.

The film features stars Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriguez, Adrien Brody, and Lindsay Lohan.

[12] After his successful infomercials for The Underground Comedy Movie,[9] he ran an ad in 2010 for Eminem's Recovery album.

[13] In 2020, Eminem celebrated the album's 10th anniversary by introducing merchandise and sharing the original commercial starring Offer.

Stevenson compared Offer to earlier, "more upbeat" television pitchmen like Billy Mays and the Home Shopping Network hosts and concluded that Offer's "smooth-talking condescension" was more suited to the present "zeitgeist" than the "earnest fervor" of spokesmen like Mays and Ron Popeil.

Consumer Reports did its own test on the product and found that it does indeed hold ten times its weight in liquid but no more.

[24] In April 2009, DJ Steve Porter posted an electro-themed "Slap Chop Rap" Auto Tune remix which grew a cult following during July 2009.

[25][26] An excerpt from a televised Slap Chop commercial featuring Offer is briefly on screen during the 2013 blockbuster Marvel superhero movie Iron Man 3.

In April 2014, Offer appeared in a Canada Green commercial advertising their "Quicky Grass" product.

[31] In December 2015, Offer appeared in a Crank Chop infomercial demonstrating the abilities of the product that slices and dices food with the pull of a nylon cord.

[32] The Underground Comedy Movie was the subject of a lawsuit filed on September 23, 1998, by Offer against 20th Century Fox and Bobby and Peter Farrelly, the co-directors of There's Something About Mary.

[36] In 2011, he was sued by his former personal assistant Jennifer Kosinski, who alleged that he stalked and emotionally abused her, forced her to be with him at all times, groped her, and offered her $20,000 for her to vacation with her family in exchange for her eggs.
