We see tons of ad parodies that look convincing enough to be real, so Liquipel decided to take the opposite approach with a real ad made so over-the-top it almost feels like a parody.

Just to make sure you know the zany theatrics of Liquipel's infomercial are tongue-in-cheek, the ad even includes the on-screen notice, "Yes! This is a real product!" 

If nothing else, the lengthy ad definitely leaves you with a keen understanding of the product's benefits, namely waterproofing (and cakeproofing) your mobile devices. 

The YouTube comments largely seem like a ping-pong match between people saying it can't be real and others assuring them, yes, it's real.
