KLEE IRWIN “In today’s day and age, sweetheart, pollutants are everywhere.”

Klee Irwin likes to talk about crap. Literally. His informercials take on a sinister quality in the twilight hours as he congenially pratters on about the rope-like lengths of impacted feces that call our colons home. Though often graphic, the never crude Erwin will pepper the frequent use of “bowel movements” in his dialogue with the following euphemisms:

• Corroded pipes with accumulated calcium deposits
• A house with many rooms
• A dusty vacuum cleaner bag
• A fish tank with caked on scum
• An undulating snake

“Dude, I’m actually feeling kind of tired and it’s late. Why don’t we go back to my apartment and just flop on the couch. Hey, maybe we can watch Frisbee on TV. Maybe ESPN’s got it playing.”

Many people agree that neither Dual Action Cleanse nor Klee Irwin are useful or even funny: 

Ronald writes: “I’m currently filing a complaint with the California Better Business Bureau.”  Dave writes: “Klee Irwin is nothing but a snake oil salesman. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” Tim writes: “I pooped blood too. I think this crap ruptured my colon.”

Speaking of that, Did John Wayne really die with 40 pounds of impacted fecal matter in his body? Snopes says no.
