Someone Please Shoot Billy Mays!

[Ray]

Do you have one TV commercial that bugs you so much that you just can't watch it one more time without going ballistic?

This Billy Mays dude makes my hemorrhoids bleed just hearing that squeaky little voice... “Hi, Billy Mays here!”

And that phony died beard, hair, and even the eyebrows!





      Hey Billy! Why don't you shove a bucket of Oxi Clean up your wazoo?

I thought maybe my strokes had somehow caused him to only annoy the Hell out of me!

How about Mathew Lesko for number 2? Annoying, screaming voice (nowhere near as painful as Billy's)...although he sure has a nice wardrobe!

Dave

[Ray]

LOL!

Or how about the ShamWow dude with his stupid little headset?

Lesko I've seen, the others must be local to your market. Who remembers Blazing Saddles? Remember Lyle? We have him here, in costume and in character, doing commercials for a local Ford dealer.

[Dave H]

LOL!

Or how about the ShamWow dude with his stupid little headset?

Hey Ray,

I just started seeing the ShamWow dude here and he is QUICKLY moving into second place!

I think people buy the stuff Billy Mays pitches hoping he will become satisfied with all of the money and just GO AWAY!

Ron Popeil never managed to annoy me with all of the stuff he pitched. I always wanted one pf those Popeil Pocket Fishermans!

I think the ShamWow dude may be the son of Billy Idol!

Hey Michael,

Good Ole Lyle! "How 'bout some more beans Mr Taggart?" Does he eat beans and fart in the commercials?

No, but sometimes he is carrying his rope. He does basically the same commercials in English and Spanish (depending on which station you're watching). "We don't care HOW (insert clip of people arriving on horse back, wagon, whatever) you get here, just GET here" .....and (price appears on screen, over car) "Well that's TOO MUCH!" (Lyle swings his rope and snaps it like a whip, price is replaced with much lower price).....you know, those kinds of commercials.

You know, now that I'm trying to think of it, I can't remember if he does his own Spanish or if they dub it...I think he does his own (understandable, but with a terrible accent), but then there's one of those ambulance chasing lawyers that does him own Spanish commercials and he actually hurts your ears when you hear him. Maybe I'm confusing the lawyer's commercials with Lyle's.
