the shamwow thread got me thinking - Who is your favorite (and i do not mean that in a positive way by any means) TV infomercial personality
For me - The Gazelle by Tony Little
Lets see some good ones |

I guess you mean the most infamous or memorable?
The shamwow guy is getting better, his seconf product is nowhere as near annoying as the shamwow. But that guy with the really pporly died black hais and matching goatee has my vote.
He sells oxyclean. i always thought if he used it one his hair or beard, it would disolve. At least its nice to know someone bought all that spray-on hair.

This isn't an infomercial, more of just a commercial that appears a lot - the guy from Blue Hippo that lets you buy a brand new desktop or laptop computer (unknown brand, of course) with monthly payments.
Another one that seems like it's everywhere now is the "magic jack" |

They were thrown out of NYS by consumer affairs, as that computer cost you like 4-5 grand.
Ah yes magic-jack (phone).
I HATE SNUGGIES
and that poor aussie who keeps selling painting stuff. |

I like Billy Mays because I think that he believes the louder he yells the more stuff you'll buy. Plus he stood in a wind tunnel to "prove" his product and I thought that was just funny as hell! The shamwow/slapchop guy really just gives me the creeps. But he too makes me laugh at the stupid things he says..

| How about the annoying Brit a few years ago that was selling the car wax and would shoot a laser at the car and set it on fire. He was hawking something else a while back, too, but I can't remember what it was now. |

Over 4 million snuggies have been sold.
those commercials are never going away.
i miss Ronco... |
|
|
| ETC |
ron popeil ... ronco ... an annoying staple of my youth.
"how much would you pay" ... " but wait, there's more"... "if you call in the next"
the fact that these guys are still on tv means that they sell stuff, that fact to me is a scary commentary on the average intelligence of the consumer.
remember the pocket fisherman ?
this one is funny

Is that a young Mike Rowe (ala Dirty Jobs) narrating the Wunder Boner ad?
EDIT: Ha, I just read they info on the video, and they made the same speculation. |

| I guess next on my list after Billy May and Shaw Wow douche would be Richard Karn (Al Borland), and Robin Hartl (chick from Hometime) pitching Little Giant Ladders, and the Worx GT string trimmer. I am pretty confident the Worx GT is a POS, but I love my Gorilla knock off version of the Little Giant Ladder. |
|
|
| ETC |
i've got a costco version of the little giant, most useful ladder i've ever owned [kinda heavy though].
that guy reminded more of one of the old time nascar drivers, can't remeber which one though.
"my wife would love that..." guess that's why they called it viagra, wonder boner was already tm'ed. |
|
|
| Hooray |
we have little giants on all of our fire trucks and use them all the time too...
