The last time I saw Mr.T, he was pushing Snickers bars & bellowing "Get Some Nuts!!"
 
Now he's appearing in what has to be the worst infomercial of all time for a gizmo known as the Flavor Wave Oven.
 
From the linked article...
 
Now, Mr. T has never been renowned for his acting prowess, but his stiff and awkward attempts to read cue cards on the Flavor Wave Oven infomercial makes his performance as B. A. Baracus look like Olivier’s Hamlet.
 
This thing is literally unwatchable, but his entrance onto the set is worth clicking on the embedded video link for.
 
 
Enjoy.

Poor, poor, poor, Mr. T has been reduced to doing infomercials for a living...how sad.

I have seen this also and agree that it is utterly unwatchable.  On the other hand, at first it's like passing a train wreck, you can't NOT look at it...then it makes you so uncomfortable, that you actually have a feeling of embarassment.  I get the same feeling from watching the worst auditions at the beginning of every season of American Idol, and then I have to switch to something else.

True, but the part where he knocks the door down at the beginning is quite entertaining.

....awwwwww no! I really hope I never see this one - especially if he decides to make Gary Coleman his 'sidekick' (or, well...I may watch it if GC is his 'dropkick').

Oddly enough, I never stop to see any infomercial, except this one, and that is only because of T.   I like(to laugh at) how he uses the same gruff, (but older) Mr T personality to play the character of the curious consumer that the girl has to explain the machine to, and taste the food with comments.

And can't you just imagine him 20 years from now when he's all old & scrawny & stooped over, so wobbly you could blow on him & knock him down, with his skin all loose & wrinkled & hanging off & his false teeth popping out still doing the same bad-ass shtick?
