I love Billy Mayes. If the product doesn't work like advertised, he will come and yell at it until it does.

Seriously though, Oxyclean is pretty much a standard in the home brewing community. Instead of scrubbing the krausen off your fermenters, just let oxyclean do its magic for a day or two.

I saw one where he was hawking medical insurance a month or so ago. It was on every once in a while for about 2 weeks, then disappeared. Musta run afoul of someone on that one.

 

Yeah, I could see how it would seem somewhat insensitive to some folks to have him doing that sort of product...

"Hi, I'm Billy Mayes, and I'm here to introduce Ted & Guido's Medical Insurance!!! Any possible medical condition can be covered by this highly adaptive plan!!!
- Got a broken arm? They'll rub some dirt on it until it's better, or you run away screaming!
- Cancer? With their own specially formulated brand of chemo (Drano Pipesnake), they'll insure that the cancer doesn't stand a chance!!!
- Pregnant? They'll deny paternity almost instantly, and kick you until the blessed event arrives!
- Weight Loss? They'll tie you to a rope and the back of their Cadillac, and drag you around Jersey until the pounds just melt away (either by friction, aerobics, or possibly death where pounds come off almost immediately)!!!
- Fertility Issues? A completely gender based plan with males being goaded into withdrawing their claims, and females waking up days later from the Rufinol laced water fountain in the lobby...completely fertilized!!!

Almost any medical issue can be tackled by Ted & Guido's medical insurance!!! Apply today!!!!!"

(perhaps I digress)

 

He tops my current list of the most annoying TV personalities. I just don't need to be yelled at by my TV for 5 minutes straight when he comes on, so I grab for the remote and change the channel whenever he starts in...so I really don't know (or care) what he's hawking as I can't stand to watch him long enough to find out.

Billy...stop yelling! We can hear you, we're not all deaf as a post!

 

I just like to make fun of Billy Mays.

HEY EVERYONE, BILLY MAYS HERE! I'VE GOT AN AMAZING NEW PRODUCT TO SHOW YOU TODAY- THE RECTO-PLUNGER!

TOO MUCH BEER AND BUFFALO WINGS LAST NIGHT? STOP STRAINING AND SQUEEZING ON THE CAN! THE AMAZING NEW RECTO-PLUNGER MAKES IT SO EASY, YOU'LL WONDER HOW YOU EVER WENT WITHOUT IT!


Speaking of putty (pun intended), hasn't that mighty putty ALWAYS been around? I know that's just some kind of epoxy putty, big deal.

 

As for Shamwow.......WREG-TV Memphis - Does It Work: Sham Wow

It works!

Now for Billy Mayes and that Vince fella....may as well add Anthony who does the other commercials. But he's not seen as often.

If you put Billy and Vince in a fight match, who would you place your money on? I say Billy!

 

Haha lol.. I imagine his caps and exclamation key is almost warn out. Next he will try to sell "Quick CAPs and Excalmation key fixer or something".

 

I say Billy Mays should be the new spokesman for," Extenze" male enhancement.

HI! BILLY MAYS HERE FOR "MIGHTY EXTENZE" THE MOST POWERFUL MALE ENHANCEMENT EVER!..........
WHEN THINGS ARENT GOING RIGHT LET MIGHTY EXTENZE SAVE THE NIGHT!!
WHEN YOU WANT TO GO BIG, WE'VE GOT THE RIG!!

The possibility's are endless..........

 

Don't worry, I don't think billy mays will be around in the next 5 years or so. Shamwow Vince is going to become the most infamous infomercial salesman, and Billy will fall out of the spotlight. You guys remember Ronco Ron? Billy Mays ended him.

 

Ronco Ron (Popiel) sold his company several years ago and retired.

The Ronco broiler commercials now feature a different promoter.

The guy that bought Ronco did so on the installment plan. The company is now in Chapter 11, leaving Ronco Ron holding an empty sack, cuz the guy owed him millions of dollars.

 

My 18 yr old son loves those infommercials.
You can always tell when he was the last one up on the TV the night before because it is tuned to info channel in the morning.

I am with Kwik, though. I usually record and FF through the junk. When watching live, I flip right past the sales pitches.

 

ya that dudes like another billy,he aint ben on long and im sick of that dude. he should loose the headphones

 

PUT SOME SPUNK BACK IN YOUR JUNK!

 

OK, I just saw "shamwow Vince" hawking the "slap chop" for the first time, I thought the slap-chop was a Chuck Norris martial arts move....I suggest a death-match between Billy Mays and sham wow Vince for the title of "infomercial King". If this keeps up I am going to use my 9mm on the TV!.......I am sick of these guys, there is no escape!

 

I thought Billy Mayes was Cheeto's Hero
