Vince The ShamWow Guy....

[Illuminations_Rocks]

Oh my that was a good one! Wayyyy too much slapping - and he can do it with just one finger so we should all be able to do it with one hand!

Though I still don't think its cheesiness beats my all-time favorite: Alum-alloy. Not many people have seen it, but it was TERRIBLE - they'd just show you the grinding away at the metal and then the melting of the alum alloy forevvvvver, all narrated by the best monotone voice...

Aren't infomercials GREAT? ALL FOR JUST 19.95 - BUT WAIT, CALL NOW AND IT'S ONLY 2 PAYMENTS OF 9.95 - BUT WAIT CALL WITHIN THE NEXT 5 MINUTES AND YOU GET A FREE SHAM-WOW! lol.

Oh, I just thought of one regular "commercial" I saw yesterday - I think it was the bump or something like that? Basically, a piece of plastic you shove on your head to create the perfect hair bump...

Ah - the Bumpit! http://www.bighappiehair.com/

 

[OK!]

Tuna salad = exciting life? WOO HOOOO!!!

 

[scrump]

hilarious!

 

[HelenePA]

Oh me and Patrick have been laughing about this video for about 2 hours now.. there are alot of "that's what she said" lines in there..

 

[Planogirl]

Billy Mays seems to sell pretty good stuff. I don't know about this other guy but he sure looks shady.

 

[Sparx]

STOP HAVING BORING TUNA STOP HAVING BORING LIFE.

 

[antmaril]

So funny. I'm laughing out loud. I wonder how many takes it took for him to get through "You're gonna love my nuts" without cracking up.

 

[EMom]

How can you NOT love his nuts?

 

[Nik's Mom]

LOL! I saw the same thing on t.v. yesterday and burst out laughing. DH just shook his head at me. Sometimes, he does not get my humor.

I saw the commercial for The Bumpies (that sounds so dirty! ) the other day and was like "You've GOT to be kidding me, right?". Who do they think is actually going to buy those silly things and worse, who thinks that type of hairdo looks good?

Sorry. I'll stick with my flat, boring hair thanks.

 

[jenlynn0808]

except it is from Pampered Chef and I've haad it for a few years.

 

[Moley42]

LOL, thats classic

 

[Keira1387]

DS (11YO) and I had a long discussion over who was more annoying.

Vince the creepy Sham-Wow guy with the concert microphone and crazy eyes?

OR

Billy Mays who sells everything under the sun, but is always YELLING AT US!!!

That is a toss up!

 

[Poohbear123]

THAT WAS GREAT!!!!

I laughed so hard I woke up DH! Yea, between Vince and Billy, they are a hoot, I think they BOTH need to make a commercial TOGETHER!

This is the Popiel Chop-O-Matic from the mid 50's. Billy Mays took his lessons from Ron Popiel.

 

[hulagirl87]

I saw the slap chop commercial yesterday and immediately called out for DH because we love the sham wow commercial (this is for the house, the car, the boat, the R.V.) and boy Vince did not disappoint. We were cracking up! "You're gonna be in a great mood all day because you're going to be slapping your troubles away!" And when he tosses the imitation one into the sink Oh Vince

(warning, some bad but funny language!)

So funny. I'm laughing out loud. I wonder how many takes it took for him to get through "You're gonna love my nuts" without cracking up.

I was wondering the same thing but about him throwing the thing in the sink...wonder how many takes it took not to miss.

This is the Popiel Chop-O-Matic from the mid 50's. Billy Mays took his lessons from Ron Popiel.

yes that is what it was called..I had one of those in the 70's....
here is the original and Ron is just a baby in it http://video.aol.com/video-detail/chop-o-matic/2959535390

Does anyone remember the skit from SNL with the Bass-O-Matic with Dan Aykroyd......http://www.hulu.com/watch/19046/saturday-night-live-bassomatic


Even Veggie -Tales got in with the mix.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkZTuKGJlrE

I thought the Slap Chop looked familiar. They couldn't pick a better name?
That guy gives me the creeps.

What do you expect from a company whose (probably) first product is called ShamWow? ShamWow? It's so fake it deserves emphasis?

 

[TheZue]

"the reason you are going to slap away every day is because it's so easy to clean" omg that sounds SOOOO dirty hahahaha.

I also like the giant egg onion muck he made then proclaimed "breakfast to go!"
