I’ve never been a big fan of TV shopping channels, but I do watch them on occasion for the entertainment value. The fact that most of them broadcast live opens the door for all kinds of hilarity, such as this incident in which a guy falls from a ladder.

This clip is from QVC, a leading American shopping channel. In it the presenters are selling telescoping ladders, and a guy demonstrates the product by extending it and climbing up. All is well until he starts back down the ladder and ends up falling halfway down.

The funniest part is the reaction from the host. It’s great watching people scramble for words during moments like this.
