Billy Mays
has credibility. "It's important for me to sell a product that works. ... [My fans] trust me."

Business infomercial CNBC delves into TV infomercials. But wait! There's more!

  3. Billy versus Shamwow Vince. Steel cage death match. Pay per view. Be there.
    (By the way, I understand the Slapchop will soon be marketed under a new name: Briss-o-matic.

  4. I'd buy the car from Billy Mays. No question.

    Jim, Harry will be so pleased since he has to do so many circumcisions...

  5. Shamwow Vince convinced me to use his product with his presentation using the carpet and the Coca Cola. With great anticipation, I washed my car, expecting the Shamwow to make it the experience of a lifetime. The Shamwow is not worth a tinker's damn when it comes to washing a car or, I have come to find, anything else. But, if you ever have an opportunity to get a piece of carpet and a Coca Cola, it works just as advertised.

  6. My daughter gave my son-in-law Shamwows for his 32nd birthday. God knows why he is obsessed with Shamwows.

    They're great in the kitchen or as anon says on a carpet square doused with Coke...

  7. You gotta give Billy the pickup line of the year: "Ya wanna see my awesome auger?"
