MAGIC WIPES In the hilarious world of YouTube, the MAGIC WIPES commercial parody by Smosh takes center stage with its outrageous humor. Featuring the comedic duo Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla, this skit is a riotous take on infomercials that promise miracle cleaning solutions — a classic trope that's been entertaining audiences since its advent.

Summary and Highlights​

The video kicks off with a typical infomercial setup: a stained floor that seemingly has no solution—until "MAGIC WIPES" enter the scene. Ian, identifying himself as Paul, and Anthony, as his brother Pauly, showcase an absurd variety of stains that can be cleaned with these "wipes." From milk spills to accurate depictions of chaotic living situations, their over-the-top reactions add to the comedic effect. Key Moments:

• The commercial humorously suggests using these wipes on various ludicrous stains, including "oil," "a bottle of cabernet sauvignon," and even "blood," presenting a comical take on the lengths people might go to cover up their mess—alongside a warning about their ineffectiveness.
• A memorable line reads, "It gets rid of it like MAGIC!," playfully nodding to classic cleaning ads that promote miraculous products.
• The skit doesn't shy away from ludicrous jokes, such as using the wipes for humorously inappropriate situations, showcasing the group's distinctive comedic style.
