As an insomniac I have seen more Billy Mays infomercials than I care to admit. I even bought the “quick chop” above (worthless). I love his ability to project yell every single word.
I showed this commercial to my Marketing class today. The girls’ eyes got wide. I was surprised by the response. Afterwards I learned the reason: They’ve never seen anyone ever talk like that.
RIP, Billy, you’ve earned it. I also wonder if Heaven and Hell are fighting over who has to take him. Would you want someone who talks like this around for all eternity?
I will think of him every time I scoop OxyClean into my washing machine. Vince now has the market on the new and improved Slap Chop, by the way.
