Billy Mays commercials=MUTE

He takes control of my hand, holding the remote and automatically push the mute button. Weird but it happens every time he shows up on a commercial. He is selling everything from insurance to scratch removal on vehicles. I have never bought anything from these commercials, am I missing something? I feel sorry for anyone that gets sucked into these commercials and actually buy something. Maybe I'm wrong but remember the socket that fits every bolt? Yeah, I want one of those to put in my tool box.

Alright, I'm done

That is the most irritating guy on tv. Who would buy anything from him? all he does is yell... without looking like he is yelling.

wouldn't you like him to come to your front door selling something, that would be fun, it is fun just sitting here listing possible scenerios.. from rottweilers to electric shock devices..

these companies should know by now the boobage sells products you were not previously interested in

I have never bought anything from him, and do find him somewhat annoying. However he is just doing his job and is obviously doing it will to have expanded into the "Infomercial guy". I also had a buddy that bought one of those gator grip sockets that you were making fun of, and it worked really well on rounded nuts and stuck wing nuts and such.

Everybody needs to start buying everything he sells so they no longer have to advertise which will make him disappear. Simple.

x3 here. Man I can't stand that guy. Everytime that commercial comes on, I think, "Jeez, they should of got Billy Mays to do this one."
If they did, I probably would of bought one of those things by now, b/c they seem to work pretty good.
Anyone ever buy that magic putty stuff? I've been tempted to get some, but don't know if it holds that well.
