FeedToss Billy Mays’ Balls And He’ll Clean Every Load
Written by NetBear on April 18, 2008 – 5:04 am -Since the days of Ron Popeil hawking his Veg-O-Matic there has never been a salesman quite like Billy Mays — especially with these bearish good looks.
I’ll buy that for a dollar! Irritating or stimulating, Billy Mays works a sales pitch into a frenzy. It gets to a point that you don’t even notice that dye job anymore… (Oh, come on… Can anyone have hair THAT BLACK?)
Where’d Mays learn to be a pitchman? After graduating from high school he began his career as a salesperson on the Atlantic City boardwalk selling the Washmatik portable washing device to passersby. It was there that he developed his trademark style of salesmanship.
After meeting Orange Glo International founder Max Appel at a home show in Pittsburgh in the mid-’90s, Mr. Mays was recruited to demonstrate the environmentally friendly line of cleaning products on the St. Petersburg-based Home Shopping Network. Sales took off the very first day he was on. Here’s Billy doing his OxyClean Detergent pitch. Doesn’t it make you want to “get on” one of his balls?
A resident of Dunedin, Florida, Mays films many of his commercials in the Tampa Bay area. As a spokes-person for hire his fees vary widely depending on factors like how long and how complicated the pitch is. Mays said in an interview a few years ago that a two-minute spot would cost $30,000 or more. Hmm… I don’t think he’ll help promote the next bear event… But can you imagine the turn-out?
Here’s Billy nearly falling into a bathtub during one outtake. I love his cute teddy bear response when asked what happened.
Like any actor, sometimes one line will vex you. See how “Cabinet Full Of Cleaners” causes Billy some problems.
What did Billy look like in his earlier days? See for yourself as a young Billy does a sales pitch on HSN.
Here’s a clip with a couple shots that show Billy going off in so many ways. Keep an eye out for Mays literally bouncing into the frame of another pitchman’s commercial. OMG! That hair color does not exist in nature!
“Shameless consumer abuse” or not, we enjoy watching Billy doing his thing. Those burly good looks, hairy arms and chest give him a place in our bearotic hearts.
This last clip isn’t the actual Billy Mays. But it’s a parody of a product we’d love to see the real Mays demonstrate. For that matter, the guy in the video isn’t too bad either. Hey, I think he was demonstrating the Wonder Bulge at the Lone Star last night!

The best part is if you stick your dick in his mouth he may actually stop shouting for 5 minutes.

That was simply awesome! It’s too bad that Billy Mays felt the need to color his hair and beard. Based on his younger days video, he was way much hotter with brown hair. And if he’s trying to cover up the grays, well, that’s unfortunate because he would even look great in it… But, yeah, LOL on his hair color “not exist[ing] in nature” comment.

While we poke a little fun at Billy, we’re totally coming from a place of admiration. We love him too!

I had such a huge crush on Billy Mays that I actually tried to drunk email him once via the Oxyclean site. I even suggested that they make more commercials with him in a tank top. The funny thing is that two weeks later the company wrote me back thanking me for my kind comments about Billy and gave me a free bar of Orange Glow soap. True story. LOL!

Billy Mays; what can I say? At least he’s never punched a hooker (ShamWow reference). Billy Mays’ irritating style is single handedly responsible for the uproar of activity in terrorism. Hence 9-11.
It is astonishing how much one man can annoy me with a two minute commercial.

R.I.P Billy Mays. 1958 - June 28 2009. You will be missed by friends, family, and of course, the thousands of bears who adored you.

Looks like he bonked his head in a rough plane landing the day before he died. Before he went to sleep that night he said he wasn’t feeling too good.

He is/was just so stunningly handsome. He had that super inflated peacock rooster style of masculinity. It’s just too hard to say NO to that - right girls? Also, he represented to me the kind of America that’s great and not seen much of anymore. Surely, there’s a good bulge or shirtless pic of him somewhere on the internet. I simply MUST find it.
