[Deleted member 20415]

In all seriousness... I miss his exclamations on TV. He almost had me on those Hercules Hooks.

 

[SUPREME1]

Still the best to ever do it.





If he were still alive, the economy would have been fixed already. Yes, he pushed that many sales...


RIP.

 

[MisterHero]

and he's still Evil Al Borland to me

 

[Stahsky]

A year already? What the hell.

 

[Jzero]

[Always-honest]

[Wanace]

Do they just photoshop the shirt he wears for all his pictures? Probably cut down on the work he had to do.

I didn't even know it had been a year. Aw. =( Miss you Billy.

 

[esquire]

This is going to sound disrespectful so I'm not going to bother softening the blow by prefacing this with "I don't want to be disrespectful..." but why does anyone care about this guy? He was a phony and a corporate shill who's sole goal in life was to sell you useless crap you don't need. Am I missing something here?

I don't want to get banned over Billy God damned Mays but someone has to explain the underserved reverence this guy gets.

 

[Escape Goat]

but wait theres more...

Yeah I got that impression of him when I watched some show about him and the other pitchpeople who are looking for shit to sell that can make them rich.

You ever used oxyclean? That stuff is magic.

Your logic applies to pretty much all salesmen, here.

But Billy Mays in particular had a natural charisma about him that seemed warm and inviting. As a salesman, he had "it." The way he pitched products was funny, but serious at the same time, and he was pretty damn good at it.

God damn Billy Mays you were the best.

R.I.P

 

[Get'sMad]

Finding out that he used cocaine made him all the more endearing.

 

[Anth0ny]

Yep, just after MJ. I remember like yesterday.

2009 was fucked =(

 

[DemiMatt]

wow... just wow....

 

[Barrett2]

Amazing outfit MJ was wearing in that picture.

That's kind of the point. There was nothing special about Billy Mays, but I guess he was a better phony than most if you couldn't see through his act.

too soon guys, too soon =(

Spoiler

i lol'd =(

 

[Wallach]

Why is he wearing two different shirts in the exact same picture...? Seems like such a pointless thing to edit. :lol

 

[VGChampion]

Sadly that means this is around I first heard of him. I was catching up on some past Conan episodes I had not watched at the time and he was there with another infomercial guy. First time I ever saw him.

 

[Medalion]

They're all one with the Force?
