Phil then delivers the pièce de résistance, the infamous boat scene, where he saws a metal fishing boat into two perfectly symmetrical halves and repairs it back to a functional boat using nothing but Flex Tape. He then gets a little bit creepy with the viewer by telling them that he's acquired pictures of Phil Swift which he hangs on his walls and has Photoshopped to be naked. Jon is understandably taken aback by such awesomeness. We then cut to Phil lifting a forty-five-pound barbel weight with one hand and a piece of Flex Tape secured to the side of the weight.
He suggests that Flex Tape couldn't repair a broken marriage, though could potentially be more effective than placebo. He then brings up the fact that these ads never really divulge into what a product can't do.
He jokes that it could be used to plug up vascular lacerations. He also brings up the fact that infomercials really like to inflate their product as some sort of miracle worker. The demonstration continues on to show a branch falling onto a rooftop, which startles Jon enough to make him jump backward. Phil claims that Flex Tape can hold its grip in the toughest conditions, which is apparently a warm front-level shower, as Jon points out.

Jon overlooks this, never a man to be easily impressed (except when he is) points out that Phil only plugged one of the leaks, claiming "You've done half a job and you got a full smile!" He plugs up one of the leaks from the inside to show that the tape indeed functions underwater as well. He demonstrates with another tank of water, this time one with two leaks which drain into a basin. Phil then talks about how leaks can cause continuous damage and how Flex Tape can fix them with its ability to instantly seal and bond. He presents "Josephi Krakowski" as a spokesperson for Flex Tape instead. "Phil Swift" and "Johnny Starr" he uses as examples. Jon then takes a moment to mock the rather simplistic and catchy names of the spokespersons of these types of products (jeez that's a lotta plurals). He immediately demonstrates Flex Tape's ability by slapping a piece over the hole of a leaking water tank, stopping the leak dead in its tracks.which Jon proceeds to replay in slow motion with dramatic music and the Tourettes Guy screaming "Oh shit!" overlaid on top of it. The infomercial starts with Phil Swift introducing himself and the product. He then passes the viewer onto the first infomercial, but not before making it known that he is indeed NOT sponsored by Flex Tape (although he wishes he was). He mentions that he happened to catch an infomercial while at a pub, and found himself enamored by Phil Swift's enthusiasm, at one point jokingly comparing Flex Tape to Jesus in terms of popularity. Jon begins his tale of woe, telling the viewer of his first encounter with Phil Swift and his adhesive products. Jon then, in an exasperated tone says, "Of course! The solution was Flex Tape!" A hand comes up and sloppily slaps a piece of Flex Tape onto the compromised blood bag, "fixing" it. Jon, in a morbid display of casual turmoil, remarks that he hates it when this happens. The meme was covered by Stayhipp.The episode starts off with Jon doing.something on a computer, only to have his blood bag (which is present for yet unknown reasons) begin spilling onto the computer, causing it to short-circuit.
