Following the ShamWow sensation Vince Offer brought out the equally sensational Slap Chop. The Slap Chop has become such a pop cultural hit that it has garnered the best kind of flattery- mimicry. If this mimicry was given the name I would term it slap shop.

Slap shop because so many creative shops are using the slap chop to showcase their creative talents. The funny thing about the slap shop sensation is that the slap chop has been around for decades. It even came from the Godfather of TV product commercials Ron Popeil. Popeil brought out the Chop-O-Matic in the 1950s, it was invented by his family members. So, it could be said that Vince offer did a slap shop of his own by rebranding and reimagining the Chop-O-Matic commercial.

The internet is a great place to inspire creativity. Even commercial items like the Slap Chop can be improved upon, and so it is with this YouTube video of DJ Steve Porter. Steve Porter turned his slap shop remix into a resume of his capabilities and now his new commercial remix company. He does highlight some great lines of the Slap Chop commercial – “Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life” or “you’re gonna love my nuts.” He also intersperse some old school pop culture with scenes from the movie Breakin’. Hey It is always great to see Shabba-Doo!
