Based on a post I saw a while back:

Quote from: That postlet's invent a game called infomercial

when someone yells infomercial at you you have to mess up whatever you're doing in a hilarious and dramatic way

So that's exactly what we are going to do.

The game plays off of the fact that people in infomercials can't seem to do anything right:

SERIOUSLY? Always with the full green bowl of cheese puffs?

Getting back to the point.

Someone says an action, and the person below them messes that action up VERY dramatically. Like this:

You make an egg.

I crack the egg on the side of the pan, smashing it. It explodes all over me, my stove top, and my floor.

You wash your hands.

I walk up to the sink, hands covered in mud, try to grab the soap, but it slips and gets dirty. I pick it up but then I drop it again into the toilet.

EDIT: As of post #87, to make it less related to <<>>, you now have to sell a product to the poster above you to help them.

Ready? Let's begin.

You walk in the office with a dozen donuts.

No-one has table manners, respect or patience so they start jumping on you for donuts.

You have to eat your breakfast, but you have to go to work in 5 minutes.

You shove everything in you mouth, hoping that it will help.

You walk around

And trip on your shoelaces.

I tie my soccer cleats.

Then you trip over it

I died

Then you got resurrected and got killed again in a most dramatic and painful way.

I ate an apple.

You miss your mouth in favor of your eye

(you have to post an action)

I sharpen my pencil.

You over sharpen it.

I fail at math!

You get kicked out of school for the rest of your life!

I use my laptop.

It breaks!

THERE IS A FLAME WAR!

You get banned from using the internet! (I'm imagining all of these in a TV announcer voice )

I text my friends.

You get a flame!

I know everybody's name!

and you get labeled as a stalker and everybody starts cornering you and you initiate the beginning of World War Three.

It's a beautiful day outside!

But oh no! You got a nasty sunburn! ⇦ (Imagine in TV commercial narrator voice )

I drink some juice.

Suddenly you barfed

I'm on a surgery

Suddenly the surgeon has to leave in the middle of the surgery!

I read a book while eating a snack.

But you've mistaken your book as the snack

I'm dying

You try to die peacefully in old age by laying down in bed. Instead you miss the bed, faceplant into the nightstand, and live for another 25 years.

You try to get those tough stains out of your shirt with store-brand detergent.

I spill it and it goes all over my kitchen floor. I then slip in it and fall over.

You listen to some music.

The music was Never Gonna Give You Up. You cringe and fall (and can't get up).
(Off-Topic - this cool plugin tutorial on YouTube prevents rickrolls)

You play TF2.

But oh no! You don't have any hats!

You're driving down the highway.

But suddenly, a rogue driver smashes into you, causing both of you to crash!

I listen to music.

But great!  Your iPod crashed!

I buy a Nest Thermostat.

That sets the temperature to 0 K!
