In Videos: The Wunder Boner Infomercial
The Wunder Boner is a tool that debones fish. That is all. Under any other name it would merely be a rod on a stand that makes ripping the spine out of your freshly caught fish a breeze, but instead it's that fishing tool with the funny name. The infomercial's frighteningly earnest actors almost convince me that I need this product, mostly the guy who thoughtfully says, "My wife would like that." Also, according to the announcer, "every tackle box and every kitchen should have the Wunder Boner."
You can buy the Wunder Boner at the appropriately named website, spinelesswunderboner.com. And if you really, really like the Wunder Boner, it looks like the patent is for sale. Watch the video after the jump.

Heh: "My wife would like that."
They must have known about the double entendre—it even seems they play off it a little bit. Nice find, Robyn.

They should have gotten Kirk Cameron's friend from Family Ties to be the spokesperson for this. His, um, name was Boner....eh, I got nothing.

@GingerSnap: Don't know for sure it's Mike, but a lot of people say it's him.
@foodinmouth: I didn't even do it on purpose! WOOHOO!

i must say that i enjoyed the disclaimer in the infomercial...
"fish should be dead 6 hours before using device"
yeah, a dead fish would be better....

@borrais--I found that disclaimer interesting too. I wonder why 6 hours? Is that when rigor mortis sets in?

@JudgeFudge, it was, uh, Growing Pains, not, um, Family Ties.
No, I'm not proud I know this. Carry on.

That has GOT to be Mike Rowe. I'd like to try the W.B., looks kind of cool. Not a lot of whole fresh fish in my house though except Koi, and I'm not volunteering any of them!
