Circa 1992, Mike Rowe (host of Dirty Jobs) worked in (very) late-night TV selling crap to idiots on QVC. He used the opportunity to its full comedic potential.
"A singular opportunity to not only enjoy the effects of bubbling lava, but fuse all your fingers together and create a little webbed appendage for you." The man is a genius.
"Huh, review already? I was talking about lava, Mount Vesuvius, interesting things." It's great how he says 'interesting things', meaning not the lava lamp.
He had something that QVC didn't (or maybe they figured it out) realized that was great for them, he kept people entertained. And thus more likely to buy. Plus he kept everything so entertaining it was like free advertising because you know people where talking and chuckling about what he had said with their friends the next day. I mean come on, he made me want one of those now, and I don't even have the money or a place for it! The problem is he was real. The lamp was pretty warm so he told people. He tells the truth, with some jokes and teasing thrown in. (My older brother is alot like that) now days you never know if the thing you are buying is actually nice, or just a set up. I'd trust Mr. Mike.
The man, the myth, the legend. Rowe is one of the best non-comedian improvs out there. Rowe also was an opera singer. Seems like he'd be really cool to meet. Thanks for all the TV gems, Mike!
"A singular opportunity to not only enjoy the effects of bubbling lava, but fuse all your fingers together and create a little webbed appendage." Oh God, I'm crying!! He is so freakin' funny!
Bahaha. Oh, Mike...You were far too clever for that crap. Still, though, I'd get up in the middle of the night to watch if you were on it. You are the best.
I wish we had a vhs of old Mike Rowe unsuccessful dating experiences. ‘Well Vanessa, I don’t think this is gonna work out but your lava lamp is neat-o!’
His voice is so soothing and wonderful. I'm surprised some national news station didnt sweep him up. He missed his calling I think. Qvc and dirty jobs is beneath him.
auntbecky is correct. I was about 18-19 when these episodes aired and my mom was the biggest QVC fan. I vividly remember being in the room when she'd watch it and it was definitely the Mike Rowe we know from Dirty Jobs. My mom used to comment on how handsome he was.
Lava lamps were expensive back then, a boutique item. In 97/98 they started selling at Target and the price dropped considerably. This was considerd a good price.

The man is a genius.
100%. A true wordsmith.
Mike Rowe is hilarious. He doesn't put on an act, he's the same guy on Dirty Jobs as he was on QVC. He finds humor in anything.
He got fired like four times from this show for being sarcastic, hee.
He made this entertaining! Those QVC people were always so boring to watch! He was fun!
he is a moron all around that gives shit advice that he never followed himself
The fact he was hired back more than once
@@evodgamehunter4290 You must be real fun at parties.
@@evodgamehunter4290 Yeah, and you're just a peach yourself.
"Huh, review already? I was talking about lava, Mount Vesuvius, interesting things." It's great how he says 'interesting things', meaning not the lava lamp.
Who the fuck recorded enough QVC from their VCR to know they had inexplicably recorded Mike Rowe from 92?
EXACTLY... WHO TF 😬😂
Autists
Probably Marion Stokes lol.
This has the exact same energy as those gaming videos where people just sit in a call doing improv
How many late-night shoppers actually believed him when he said the lamp had actual lava inside. This man is awesome.
ROFLMAO!!! OMG Im crying I'm laughing so hard! That was great, Mike. So sad I missed your tenure at QVC.
He had something that QVC didn't (or maybe they figured it out) realized that was great for them, he kept people entertained. And thus more likely to buy.

I think to my self, who watches QVC, then I remember that I'm watching it on RUclips🙈
Well I don't think you're watching it for the same reason they are
It's like Ron Burgundy on QVC!!!
Except Mike is funny and intelligent while Will Ferrell is neither.
@@gunnmetalblue I fathom will Farrell... Dude actual puts me in worst uncomfortable mood while boiling my blood! How do people find him funny
Mike Rowe is the funniest guy on TV...... he seems like someone who would be so fun to hang out with... and cute, too!.... LOVE him!
The man, the myth, the legend. Rowe is one of the best non-comedian improvs out there. Rowe also was an opera singer. Seems like he'd be really cool to meet. Thanks for all the TV gems, Mike!
"Remember Pompeii? I dunno where Pompeii is, somewhere in Italy?"
"A singular opportunity to not only enjoy the effects of bubbling lava, but fuse all your fingers together and create a little webbed appendage."
Oh God, I'm crying!! He is so freakin' funny!
" I'm talking about interesting things" That about sums it all up right there.
Who gets even more handsome the older they are? Mike Rowe, that's who! HOLLA! :P
I just watched this three times and I'm crying LMFAO....
Bahaha. Oh, Mike...You were far too clever for that crap. Still, though, I'd get up in the middle of the night to watch if you were on it. You are the best.
"creating a little webbed appendage for you"
Hillarious!
I love Mike Rowe, he's so hilarious
He is great.
Boy it's just...neato. Pleased to see sarcasm was alive and well in Mike in his younger days.
I would consider watching QVC if he was still on. Fuckin hilarious! I can feel his supervisors scowling at him from off camera.
"When were Lava lamps hot, the 60's? The 70's?"
"Ow. It's hot right now."
It's just neato
A genius peddling crap. Sarcasm so thick you can stick a fork in it. Love it!
Thanx SO much for these clips...they r too hilarious!!!
These are priceless. Well, I guess everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks for sharing these clips.
Man. I love when he makes fun of Pompeii. Wonderful.
"I don't know what that stuff is in there, but boy. It's just neat-o."
Hahaha how do you possibly not love that guy???freaking hilarious!!!Mike Rules!!!!
he is a trip. he's so dry in his humor and i luv that.
He shows an improved delivery style since this
I want a lava lamp now....
There's one where he tries to sell a cat bag or something. It's funny as hell.
I'm diggin' the tye. If I knew Mike was doing QVC I would have watched it. He is funny, bad salesman yet very funny.
Nah he a great salesman. Have you laughing so hard you forgot you even wrote a check!
His sarcasm always cracks me up 😆
I love this…you’re the best!!! 🫶♥️👏👏😂😂
A singular opportunity to fuse your fingers together and create a webbed appendage
I remember the lava lamp fad in the 90s. I had one. I believe they started in the 60s to answer Mikes question.
Why did my mind immediately go to Dr. Evil when he said "magma"?
I love Mike Rowe with all my heart.
Somebody probably just taped his segments because they're so damn hilarious.
This guy would actually make me watch QVC and maybe even buy stuff.
I wish we had a vhs of old Mike Rowe unsuccessful dating experiences. ‘Well Vanessa, I don’t think this is gonna work out but your lava lamp is neat-o!’
That's poetry!
what a great salesmen
i love Mike Rowe.
His voice is so soothing and wonderful. I'm surprised some national news station didnt sweep him up. He missed his calling I think. Qvc and dirty jobs is beneath him.
Dirty jobs is nice. He respectfully sheds light on the workers who are neglected in society
I can't get over how different he looks.
I just keep replaying that noise he makes when he touches it and the look on his face. Over and over and over again. It's so hilarious to me.
Old School Mike Rowe gota love it!
auntbecky is correct. I was about 18-19 when these episodes aired and my mom was the biggest QVC fan. I vividly remember being in the room when she'd watch it and it was definitely the Mike Rowe we know from Dirty Jobs. My mom used to comment on how handsome he was.
he's a national treasure
jeezus mike is hilarious! if he was hosting my local shopping network channel, I'd be glued all night! i mean he's not too bad looking either ;)
Wtf is he talking about?!?!! So random yet sooo funny!!! Qvc needs more hosts like him!!
Have you seen him on Dirty Jobs? Somehow he retained that hotness till this very day.
This the type of comedy that would be gold on Adult Swim!!
$45 for that piece of shit? And that's 1992 dollars.
LOL
I love how he acts like there's actual magma in a lava lamp hahaha!
Omg, so good!
Mike Rowe is awesome.
I love Mike Rowe
lmfao "the lamp is a little warm, not unlike lava"
Lmao he was lying on the podcast!! 😂😂 Love ya Mike!
awesome!
mike rowe is my hero!
This is hilarious and so typical of Mike Rowe. LOL
I can't believe someone actually recorded this stuff.
Mike Rowe is the coolest.
The Pompei joke was fucking GOLDEN!
I must have missed this episode of Dirty Jobs
We want more,briny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His look of absolute disgust of having a job where he had to sell complete trash like this to people at $45 each (10+ years ago) is priceless.
If Mike did guest appearances on QVC, the discovery channel could make a new show!
sarcasm has always been his defining characteristic
funny stuff!
Now THATS salesmanship!
you gota love mike (:
Lava lamps were expensive back then, a boutique item. In 97/98 they started selling at Target and the price dropped considerably. This was considerd a good price.
Best salesman ever.
Damn, such a heartthrob.
"that lamp seems to be a little warm. hmmm. not unlike lava." hahaha.
yup. hes always been awesome.
Hes awesome
So he was hosting a local TV show in the D.C. corridor then. That explains why his name is mentioned in the Epic Drugstore commercial posted.
I can only imagine he sold hundreds of lava lamps that night.
AppealPlay He sold 2 and one of them was sent back after His comment.. LOL
I hope not
He was great then and he is still great know.
A singular opportunity
"I dunno what that stuff is in there... but it's... it's neato!" LOL
He is great at being a smart ass. I love that guy.
Oh Mike - this is golden! Remember Pompei? LOL Vesuvias. How many of those damn lamps did you NOT sell?
it's like a stoned fusion of The History Channel and Ronco Teleproducts.
This is very ironic considering he later made a Dirty Jobs eposide involving "Volcanic Mud Bath".
Here from of topic
OMG ive never seen him other than on dirty jobs, this is hilarious
Mike Rowe not giving a shit! What a badass.
Forty-five bucks for a Lava Lamp, in 1990 dollars. And you can get 'em in Walmart today for roughly $20. Progress!
i fucking love mike rowe. he is a great guy.
Everyone touches the lava lamp once. Just once.
