Which one of these guys make you want to shoot the TV set. They sell crap in TV.
Both are pretty annoying but I would pay to see Billy hit by a truck. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Oh--didn't know they had names! The Sham-Wow guy kind of cracks me up. My favorite is "It's made in Germany. The Germans always make good stuff." But the guy with the beard has a horrible voice.

I would have said Billy Mays because I didn't know that other guy's name. But that second guy is the worse by far. If you shoot him pick me for your jury.
I am going with Billy Mays...voice mainly, but also because his stupid products are the WORST. Two examples - fixing a broken coffee cup handle with that epoxy putty. Put that right on the table during Christmas dinner, right? Also, the flexi-super-glue to glue your dam jeans pocket back on if you rip it off - for people who do not understand the concept of the sewing machine. Tied for second with the shamwow moron is the video professor. Been selling the "brand new product that everyone is asking for" for well over a YEAR now...no signs of quitting, either.
Video Professor has been around more than 10 years. If you want to see my father angry, just mention the product. He bought it.
Maybe it's just me, but Vince Offer looks like a Velocaraptor in the pic posted by 2NA. I would say Vince is too new to really be annoying just yet.
Amen to that! The thing you have to realize is the TARGET MARKET these guys are pitching to. They both look like greasy used car salesmen looking for people with $19.95 left on their credit cards, sitting in their single wide waiting for the mailman to come with their unemployment check. Similar to other commercials where you hear "Hi, I'm so and so and I need to tell you about ...bla-bla-bla"............ya, like I know (or give a rats ass) who this person is! If I'm going to buy a product on TV, I want it pitched by somebody like Wilfred Brimley or Morgan Freeman.
+1 Why does Billy SHOUT? My tv can be at a pleasant volume until he comes on. As soon as I hear him, I hit the mute (or as my little one says "hit the mutate button")
Which is worse,... firing a nail gun into your left testicle or hitting your right testicle with a hammer?
The germans always make good stuff? It depends on which germans you're talking about! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wait- what about Chef Tony? He peddles both knives of questionable quality AND lids for your keeping leftovers vacuumy fresh. Looks like he's been eating his profits, comparing the pics. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Billy Mays is the worse of the two. Chef Tony stinks, and so does Cathy Mitchell (Express 101 GT cooker)... I met the video professor in Scottsdale at Mastro's steakhouse a few years ago. Hard to believe he sells so much of that product. BT Image Unavailable, Please Login
