Can someone make an automatic mute for Billy Mays?

[Xena]

Over the years, I have launched humans, cats and dogs off the couch while grabbing the remote. Billy Mays might have good products, but SHEESH! :evil:

Anyone else feel this way?

I can't say what I truly feel about Billy Mays and anyone asociated with his commercials in any form.

We have rules here regarding the wishing of death on innocents.

Although I have searched alas I haven't discovered that Billy is adequately guilty of anything that would preclude that rule.

So I must remain mute.

And practise hitting the mute as fast as humanly possible or hitting the channel up or channel down button.

[Army Wife]

OXY-CLEAN! ORDER NOW AND WE WILL DOUBLE YOUR ORDER! OPERATORS ARE STANDING BY...



sorry I couldn't help myself I was channeling Billy Mayes... :angel:

[Canoedude]

I often wonder if he yells 24/7 at home or doesn't realize the "mic" was invented almost 100 years ago which automatically amplifies one's voice.

[foxgurrrl]

His voice is louder than anyone else on any other commercial or show, period. Do they purposely raise the volume on his commercials? Annoying as hell!

All TVs should have a CQ chip.

All commercials should come with an inaudible to human hearing bar code that would be audible to your TV and your TV should be programmable with the CQ chip so that it blocks any signal with commercial bar coding if you desire and instead it plays scenes you can choose with music you can choose.

Wouldn't the TV network and ad people go ape **** over that?

A quick word to all you advertisers......if you want me to NOT buy your product be sure to put ol'e Billy on your commercial. Nothing says your products sucks like having to hear about it from the great BM. I mean, c'mon.......do you really think I want to buy insurance coverage hawked by a guy who screams at me for 3 minutes about it?

Lord love a duck.

[JenyEliza]

What about the Mighty Mend it???????

That commercial is on right now.....even my teenaged twins hate how he yells!!! :))

Billy Mays should be locked in a room and forced to watch his commercials 24/7 until he gets the message.

He is worse than the "question mark guy" in the black/yellow suit hawking "free money" from the Federal Government, and is orders of magnitude worse than the Sham Wow guy.

I am baffled why they would hire this man to hawk their wares... I have never listened to more than about two seconds of the commercials... except when the cat has a claw lock on my lap. ;)

Billy Mays is a Republican, BTW, so I can't be that annoyed by him. I have to admit the slider burger maker looks appealing.

Sort of like that upscale weekly employment opportunity and advice magazine that was being hawked on the Dallas TV stations back in the 90's.

They bragged that their rag was so good that most people found their dream job in twelve weeks or less after signing up.

I always wondered if their product was so good why was the minimum subscription amount 42 weeks?

There are a lot of stupid commercials (or people for that matter) on TV. Unfortunately, too many people listen to them to get the networks to cancel their shows or the company to pull the ad.

He is infinitely annoying. How anyone can get past his loudmouthed greeting is beyond me:

"HI! BILLY MAYS HERE...!!!"

[sgdp]

I saw Billy Mays on some late-night talk show. I want to say it was Jay Leno. He's just as hyper, loud, and cleaning-obsessed when he's not on the commercials. Though maybe it's just "being in character" for him now.

By the way, whenever I see something being pitched on television, I check it out on informercialscams.com People write in and tell you about how the products are cheap/flawed in design or if the company won't stop charging your credit card.

Our local Fox affiliate has that kind of thing, where they put products to the test like that. They call it "deal or dud." Some products are duds, but most are worth the money.

he's just a spokesperson for various products.
He's number one right now, because his ads have GREATLY increased sales on everything he pushes.

some of the stuff he hawks is decent stuff, most of it is crap.
The promoters have made a huge mistake, in using him too much ...............now sales will likely plummet from here on.

the Billy Mays days are fixing to be 'shipped and handled' to the garbage can

It's a voice activated system that will only respond to Billy Mays' voice. Whenever one of his screaming commercials come on the tube this little wonder will kick into gear and mute his screeching voice before he can shout the second syllable.

All of this for only $19.95.

But wait!

If you call this number (1-800-mute-Billy) within the next 10 minutes we will double your order!

OPERATOR: Thanks for calling Mighty Mendit

RED: Yeah this the mighty mend it people?

OPERATOR: Yes this is the call center for Mighty mendit how may I help you?

RED: Well, do ya'll give refunds? I ask because we got a few tubes of yer stuff, and although ya'll said not to try this at home, we glued up a ripped parachute like ya'll done on yer commercial? Yeah an' none of us wanted to jump outta no plane so we strapped the chute to our pet wombat, Barack Obama. We named him that see cuz he was the runt of the litter and always talked alot.... Anyway we took him up in a crop duster over the birdroost airport and dropped him out with the chute open from about 5000 feet... And danged if that chute didn't just rip open and Barack dropped like a furry rock and bounced like a black basketball plumb off the tarmack down thar. Yup.... killed 'im dead. So we out the expense of the glue crap of ya'll's that didn't work at all and a 200 dollar bill for cleanup of the tarmack down thar, plus the 150 to have Barack stuffed and taxidermied? We feel like ya'll owe us at least 400 bucks for everything...
OPERATOR: Well I

RED: O' course we had Barack covered on our insurance down thar but they said it didn't cover us throwing him outta no airplane parachute or not, and they couldn't do anything for us. We're all tored up about it down here because Barack was gonna lead the gay pride parade in Okmulgee down thar, he won't be able to do that now....

And so on...

Shortly thereafter, I began to notice they dropped (literally) the parachute demonstration from the commercial....

Funny thing happened yesterday. Our family all met at a
restaurant for son's b-day. When he walked in with a rather
robust black beard and mustache, we all started doing the
Billy May schtick with him. (He loves to experiment with different
facial hair "styles. For Halloween, he and his girlfriend went
as Shaggy and Velma from Scooby Doo).

HAHAHAHA!!! He took the kidding pretty well, though.

It's this guy, touting OxyClean in this photo:

But he also sells a grill device for making multiple little hamburgers (sliders), as well as health insurance (no joke).

He has a voice that kind of has a sing-song cadence like Matt Foley (Chris Farley's character on SNL).

Billy whatshisname is annoying. The only reason they would keep him around all of these years though is because he is selling. I get up early, as you can see and if I turn on tv, I have to mute it fast during commercials. There are several that are loud.

That commercial is mostly time-lapse camera tricks, which you can tell if you watch closely. I am no longer amazed at how gullible many people are. I mean, look what got elected for President! Shamwow is sold by a flim-flam man with camera tricks, Obama is a flim-flam man.

And the gullible bought into it just like they do Shamwow.

Is that not done in real time? His Shamwow even looks like it was a little damp before he started using it. Looks like it works pretty well.

And yes this fellah is obviously an affiliate for Shamwow but it still looks impressive to me.Clearly you didn't notice how much LONGER it took him to soak up much LESS water than you see in the commercial. Didn't notice how he was working the towel around in the bowl? Any decent cloth towel can do what he did there, and he's comparing it to paper?

Some people will buy anything, as I said.

Oh yeah, when he shows the blue shamwow at the end of the commercial and says "this lasts 10 years", the audio is edited.

You've never used it, have you?

You've never used it, have you?No, I am not stupid enough to buy something I already have (bath towels work just as well) and definitely never try to pick up larger spills with paper towels. Who the hell does?

They are comparing a cloth to paper towels, gee I wonder which will win?

Xena probably owns all of Billy Mays' products and can't wait for the newest innovative product to come out. j/k Xena.

Why is he using such a small shamwow for such a large amount of water? Doesn't he know it comes in two sizes?

I didn't think it was possible, but the fellah in this video is more annoying than Vince.

Plus, he details what I've already said.

This says nothing about the product itself.

What if I bought a Shamwow and sent it to you? Then would you give it a chance?

[nebcon]

NO MORE! I can't take it!

Slap Chop!
ShamWOW!
OxiClean!
Mighty Mendit!

NO MORE!!!!

Makes you wish he would get stuck to an airplane with some of that goop.

It doesn't work. Search it up in YouTube and you will find dozens of videos from real people who try the same stuff you see in the fakeass commercial. It's quite comical how lousy a "product" it really is.

That commercial is mostly time-lapse camera tricks, which you can tell if you watch closely. I am no longer amazed at how gullible many people are. I mean, look what got elected for President! Shamwow is sold by a flim-flam man with camera tricks, Obama is a flim-flam man.

And the gullible bought into it just like they do Shamwow.

I bought one for a family member for Christmas. I will find out from him whether it works.

My sister told me her daughter went over to her boyfriend's house and he had three boxes of them. :lol:

You have to hand it to these guys, they can sell.

I try some of this stuff, if it doesn't work, oh well. It's only $20.

I wonder what Xena would do if Billy Mays hawks a device that can automatic mute Billy Mays. ;)

Or hit in the head with a case of it during a flight, as the case may be. One can only hope they need Oxyclean in heaven. Or hell. Or wherever it is loud infomertial pitchmen go when they die. For now, I'll just call that place the great 800 number in the sky.

However, I would NOT recommend washing it in your automatic washer, and if you want to keep your ShamWow do NOT put it in the dryer. :lol:

[psyko kat]

Is it just me or are they showing that "Snuggies" commercial every two minutes???!

(I'm actually kinda curious what they feel like, they could potentially be really cozy.)

What about the water balls one or whatever they're called, for watering plants? I see that one a lot too.

I may get one for my cats to sleep on. :D

[ComeTogether]

Well, I guess he's finally been muted......R.I.P, Billy!
