So it was an oblique reference to be sure, but it was a reference nonetheless. Weird Al Yankovik had a song called "Mr. Popeil" in which he parodied the infomercial stylings of the true Ron Popeil.

I'll tell you one thing though: The album that song was on, "In 3-D," is my favorite Weird Al album, and not just for that song.
