Goofy Informercial Announces Expansion of Fitness Norbi Empire into the Anglosphere

Perhaps because Hungary is too small of a market or because the Hungarians have grown wise/tired of his questionably effective products, Norbert Schobert is expanding his fitness empire abroad, via this so-bad-its-good video, which calls exercise “eternal torturous penitence for being overweight..” Funny, we thought that was putting up with Norbi.

    Scariest video i have seen since Haiti earthquake. The fact that his shops are still open is a sad reflection on the mentality of Hungarian people as a whole. As for their love of Scientology…….don’t get me started.

    damn norbi can’t contribute to his country! just saw him and his wife at the office park i work in. they’re both driving stunning audis, but with foreign plates. maybe some people could receive a pension if his cars were registered here. disappointing.

    Hoohaahahah! Hahahah! What? Listen to who his wife is and how appropriate they make it all sound. This is what happens when your government and schools are full of left wing, liberal dogs who don’t believe in God, or anything else for that matter… Is there a porn video on the horizon? or maybe some new type of “ego food” made out of college girls used panties? This one was over the top…

    @outdated Jackass Jackson:

    Of course life is much better in the land of white trash where every place is full of teabaggers and XXXL-overweight McD-overeaters …

    Actually, “infomercials” and dating bunnies is no longer in fashion in the USA, however Quarter Pounders with cheese and extra large fries will always be a top seller. (Even if I am not overweight.) How do you counter act the meal? With a GIANT diet coke. M m m m m m m…

    He “Has held some 10,000 aerobic trainings”? Uhhh, let’s see… I may be mistaken, but if you hold an “aerobic training” EVERY DAY, it would take almost 27.5 years to add up to 10,000 “trainings”. Flour without the carbs is no longer considered “flour”. It’s considered a processed meal or cake. I’d like to try that stuff though. What are the carbs replaced with. Protein? Fat? Calcium? If anyone has tried that stuff, let me know what the ingredients are. I am guessing it’s some type of bran flour…

    I would suggest looking beyond the man and instead looking at his medium and it’s possibilitites for future entrepeneurs. Informercials are a good, leveraged way to peddle a product or service. Like with anything else, it’s what we make it.

    I would like to see other Hungarians enter the infomercial and home shopping channel business. Most any product can be sold this way.
