For the past few years, reality has seemed very much like a parody. So one could be forgiven for thinking this 15-second ad selling an Arby’s deep-fried turkey pillow seems fake. But, it’s very much a real thing, promoting the brand’s limited-time Deep-Fried Turkey sandwich and wrap menu.

The ad (along with its 60-second companion) is classic “As Seen on TV” infomercial fare, with cheeseball graphics and voiceover.
