Did anyone see any more Billy Mays commercials?

Did anyone see any more Billy Mays commercials after the tragedy? What about Vince Offer, ever since his trial?

[thegoldenmackid]

I haven't seen any... rest his soul.

[Ntombi]

Yes, I've seen several in the last couple of days. It gave me pause as I reached to FF through it.

[Tomorrow]

I know he seemed to rub a lot of people the wrong way, but I really liked his commercials. It actually took about 3-4 years of watching him to realize he was shouting.

I'll miss you, Billy.

yeah, clearly the Sham Wow guy is much much much better.

I liked him, he did his job, he did it well. OxiClean would not be where it was w/o him. Pitchmen the show was one of my favorite new shows this year.

[puckhead193]

i saw one for some pen like thing that removes scratches for your car this afternoon.. really sad that he isn't with us anymore :(

I liked him, but I hate the commercials (though I do use OxyClean). And I watched a few episodes of Pitchmen and liked it.

To be fair, though, I FF through 99.8% of commercials. I adore my TiVo.

[Mr. Giver '94]

I've seen quite a few since his passing.

Is OxyClean really as good as advertised?

[agkm800]

Would you care to explain? I am curious.

[BaronvdB]

yeah I've seen a lot of them....i live in clearwater and saw him awhile back him at the local caddy/bentley dealership (getting my dad's caddy serviced not my bentley unfortunately)

The Awesome Auger


The website still uses him as the main basis to sell the product. His commercials are on television for this item too.

My Mom swears by it. That's all that I can say.

But anyways, I've only seen one of his commercials since he passed.

Vince offer was never tried for punching that hooker that bit his lip the charges were dropped.

Oxy clean doesn't work worth a ****. (never believe everything you see on tv or the internet) I do own a Slap Chop and it is convenient (cuts down on mincing time) but not as easily cleanable as Vince suggests

And as far as I know I haven't seen any new spots, but I did see the season finale of pitchmen (that's "season" not series which means hopefully it will be back on)

[yg17]

I saw a few today for some pen that fixes scratches on cars

[Tomorrow]

Would you care to explain? I am curious.

Yeah, lots of people thought his yelling came across as obnoxious or even ridiculous. I didn't see it that way.

[Ntombi]

Nothing works as well as advertised, but it works pretty well. I've been using it for over ten years now.

And I did find his yelling over the top.

Ten years?? It's been that long?? I thought OxyClean came out like 5 years ago.... Wow....

[Cassie]

I heard they're not going to stop using them, unless the networks just decide not to air them.

[Ntombi]

Well, I don't remember when the commercials started, but I first saw it at the Ohio State Fair. I saw a demonstration, bought some, and been using it ever since. I've only been to that fair once, and it was in '98. :)

[ucfgrad93]

I saw one on tv last night.

[joro]

I saw some with the slap chopper / sham wow dude but no Billy Mays..

[SuperCompu2]

I saw his Simoniz bit yesterday, which made me happy to see he's still being aired, but other than that nothing to speak of.

I really want Pitchmen to return, even if it's only Anthony Sullivan himself. The show is really well done, and it allows for a perspective of the industry you wouldn't normally see. I know it personally gave me a much greater respect for pitchmen like Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan!

[KingYaba]

I saw the Dual Saw commercial. I think it was on the History Channel a few nights ago.

[TwinCities Dan]

Just saw the "Sliders" one... :)

Vince is still on ALL THE TIME... :rolleyes:

[Tomorrow]

Just went to Bed Bath and Beyond today, and there was a display with the Big City Slider Station, complete with a TV looping the commercial he made. It almost made me want to buy one.

Discovery has ordered another season of Pitchmen, so Anthony Sullivan should be back for that.

[jzuena]

Discovery has ordered another season of Pitchmen, so Anthony Sullivan should be back for that.

Granted, this was right after he heard the news, but Anthony Sullivan said (http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/062809_billy_2.mp3) that he was only interested in making one more episode (the special that will be on this Thursday) and he didn't want to continue the show without Billy. We'll have to see if Discovery can convince him to continue the show, and if he does whether the show can still work without all the pranks between Billy and Anthony.

As far as seeing the commercials, I've seen the new Awsome Auger one (the filming of which was in one episode of Pitch Men) and both of Vince's commercials since last Saturday. Damn, Vince has Marty Feldman eyes!

[RITZFit]

Yup, just saw one last night about "Jupiter Jack" featuring the late Billy. Kinda felt weird hearing "HERE'S HOW TO ORDER!"

[TuffLuffJimmy]

People still watch commercials...?

[Love]

Yep. Still seeing them.

[fireshot91]

I saw two. I don't remember the first one, but the second one was with a speakerphone-ish thing for keeping your phone on in the car.
