Cat sack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rChjMRfi40c. Japanese QVC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMo3F5IouNs American QVC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oG7ZbZnTcA From lovely looking clothing to overpriced electronics (they like to bundle them with garbage) you can buy all your needs at QVC. Need a ham? They'll have them. Box of oranges? Sure why not. Weird device to regrow hair? Yep. Skincare? Yep. Fake Christmas trees? gently caress yeah. Garbage looking steel jewelry with inspirational words? You know the answer. Now I sometimes will put on HSN but the quality just feels lacking, it's like a second rate QVC.

qvc can gently caress off. they somehow convinced my poor susceptible grandmother that all the grandchildren needed ipads for christmas back in 2012. they gave her a "great" payment plan. that she is still paying off. we did everything to return them but they just wouldn't budge. it was a nice gesture but we just hated seeing her go through all that trouble. old people and tons of money don't mix.

QVC is the loving master of this. Everything about it is setup to create the illusion that these hosts are just your best friends you never met, and they’re looking out for you by bringing the “deals” that aren’t actually deals at all*. Like, hosts will actually look into the camera with warm eyes and fake smiles and say things like “give yourself permission” to buy whatever thing is being presented. The new thing they’ve started doing is, whenever they show the “if sold separate” breakdown, they refer to it as the “value story.” * I’ve bought some legit nice stuff from QVC at decent prices, but whenever they sell tech stuff, it’s always a ripoff because companies like Apple aren’t going to give them big discounts on iPads or whatever, so instead they bundle it with $200 of lovely accessories and warranties to “justify” selling last year’s model for more than the newest one retails for, then go “oh but you can get it on 6-pay! WHAT A VALUE STORY!”

In Europe, QVC is transmitted out of a dedicated office/studio in Chiswick Park, West London, It's a very nice serviced buisness park with public activities and opendays and the like: http://www.enjoy-work.com/home/ In short really quite a nice place to work, summer sees BBQs and outdoor sports and actvities arranged by the park owning company for both people who work in the park and members of the public. When QVC moved in, they hired their own outside security company to ensure that no non-QVC plebs could attend any QVC planned events (bear in mind this is a park open to the public and very popular with locals.) Even at the most removed level, QVC is poo poo people. That is my QVC story.

I love the channel that just sells knives and swords because it's entertaining as all hell to both listen to two uncharismatic middle aged dudes try to come up with stuff to say about garbage knives as well as speculate on who the gently caress is buying all these crap knives and swords.

That's Shop at Home, the trailer park of television. They used to have a sports collectibles show where they'd try to dump loads of worthless baseball cards for "huge deals" and probably got more than a few suckers. Maybe it still runs, but I live in an area with more entertainment options than antenna tv.

There is something remarkable about the kind of improv skill you need to have to be able to do to host QVC. It's part carnie, part car salesman, part talk show host. So it's kind of depressing to see talent squandered like that on selling grandmas overpriced blenders.
