Does anyone hate Billy Mays as much as I do?

How the hell does this guy get paid to scream about every product he promotes?

I wouldn't buy a single product he advertises even if I liked it.

Buying OxiClean and enjoying sparking household surfaces versus not buying Oxyclean to spite Billy Mays is indeed a tossup, until we include the admittedly remote (but nonetheless extant) possibility that every non-purchase pushes him one step closer to suicide...

The ESPN ad with him is pretty funny. Before that, he drove me buggy .

I don't know.....

That tweeker guy Vince with the Sham-wow creeps me out a bit more.

Yeah, that Sham-WOW! guy is really a f*cking nut case!! Not only does he have a creepy New York accent, but he could have been some hobo that they picked out of the street to do the ad!!

Sham ------ WOOOOW!!! - Not!

And if you order in the next 10 minutes, he'll triple the number of nails.

You're not supposed to like him. You're supposed to find him annoying and get the product stuck in your head. And yes, studies have shown that annoying commercials are effective. Look at how the second poster in this thread immediately remembered Oxyclean. . .

Billy Mays is sooo irritating that he's actually fun to watch.

I've thought about coming up with a drinking came for all his commercials. Like anytime he uses the same catch-phrase over and over or gives that thumbs-up for Oxy-Clean, everyone has to do a shot of tequila...

Hi! This is Billy Mays for... take a shot
