Now if they'd just lock up the "screamer", Billy Mays, I'd be happy.

I always thought he looked like a shady character. Shame on you Sham Vinnie. :173go1:

I won't buy ANY of the products that either of those two characters are featured on, SPECIFICALLY because they are so annoying.

You might want to add Kevin Trudeau to the list . He even served some time and still ended back on TV . I can't figure that out . He is one I diffinately turn the TV off when he gets on .

ROFLMAO!!!
That is awesome!:woot:
Yeah Billy Mays needs to get away from television for a bit. Honestly I don't know how those people can feel good about the crap they try to sell. I guess people will do anything for that big paycheck. :wavey:

I have to wonder if there is any single family household in the world who's ever spent $20 in one month for paper towels? :friday:

I just saw a commercial for a new "reality" show coming to the Discovery channel. Pitchmen, starring Billy Mays and Anthony Whatshisname...the pitchman for the painting thingies. That will be a show that I avoid like the plague.

Dogknot,....I couldn't agree with you more! Both these guys make me grab for the remote/mute button in a heart beat. Besides being TOTALLY obnoxious in style and listening to their 'carny pitch',....these schmoes almost make you want to toss a shoe at the TV screen.
I don't see how the advertiser big shots think these slicksters can sell the given products. It makes me just do the opposite. To make a mental note NEVER purchase the d**n item.

Every Billy Mays commercial I have ever seen has him saying in a very loud voice, "Billy Mays here!"
He says that as if we're supposed to know who the heck he is. No, and I won't buy anything he hawks either.

Oh, and don't forget the Billy Mays Health Insurance Commercial! I mute the TV when his commercials come on.
