Billy Mays: Bold Voice, Big Beard, Bigger Heart - General

[QUOTE=hamberglar;24194583]Does anybody else get a little offended when that one guy comes on.. I don't know his name, but he's in Pitchmen. Anyway, he advertises some of the stuff Billy used to. Or at least things made by the same company. Anyway, what I was getting at before. Does anyone else get a little offended when he comes on saying "Billy always said..." followed by the rest of the ad?[/QUOTE] He was Billy Mays' best friend. Haven't you ever seen the show Pitchmen?

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;24011453]Billy Mays Forever.[/QUOTE] 1) Yes. 2) No, My box avatar is awesome. If you have a problem with it's boxy goodness, then you sir are evil. It needs to live on.

Shame that I never had a chance to buy any of that, I would have totally bought that Big City Slider Station. Damn, why folks at marketing in finland did not see this man?

... I miss him and his great voice. "Don't You Forget About Me", anyone?

[QUOTE=venn177;23987993]It was here he was taught how to pitch products by the [b]Great Old Ones.[/b][/QUOTE] :cthulhu: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbzuzSbCyfQ[/media] He may not be the hero we have thought him to be. Why has no one else pointed this out?

[QUOTE=Ultimate7MK;24002897]Why are they continuing Pitchmen without Billy Mays?[/QUOTE] Because it's called Pitchmen, not The Billy Mays Show. [editline]07:03AM[/editline] [quote=inchoface;24194443]i actually almost shed a tear when he died[/quote] OH COME ON!!!!!

Will Billy Mays be replaced by that Dyson fellow? He seems determined to bring some upgrades to our humdrum lifestyle, just like Billy, and is doing it by way of pitching (Billy did loud, extravagant affairs, Dyson does to-the-point, simple commercials)

I remember when I found out Billy Mays died, I was in my Dad's car on my way to go camping. The trip sucked after I found that out and also my Dad kept making fun of me for being sad about him dying because my Dad is an asshole. Also, WHY THE FUCK are they continuing Pitchmen without Billy? I refuse to watch it. [editline] 9:52 AM [/editline] Oh God, this song just started while I was typing that post. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOKRh9Z6U54[/media] I'm really sad now. :frown:

[B]Billy!!![/B] :crying: :crying: :crying:

That's fucking stupid if it ruined your trip. Waaah, my camping trip is ruined because some loud-mouthed salesman died. No wonder emo music/fashion was so prominent in this generation.

Get the fuck out of this thread, no need to be an asshole to everyone just because they were sad and you were not.

No. I simply said it wasn't as fun as it would have been. And explain to me how someone constantly laughing at you for being sad at a death and making fun of that person whenever they see you = them telling you to man up. Also, I didn't know being sad when someone died was treating them "like the he's second coming of Jesus Christ". Just get the fuck out of the thread before you make an even bigger fool of yourself.

And yes, I am being defensive because apparently it's [I]really[/I] hard for you to let people talk about Billy Mays' death without you being a complete asshole to them.

[QUOTE=InChoFace;24240771]maybe its because your an insensitive asshole?[/QUOTE] Uh, no, I don't know Billy Mays, I don't give a fuck that he's dead. It makes no sense that people are so attached to him. You know, if it was a random person on here posting about how their beloved dog died, or their father died, and shared some fond memories with us, then I could empathize and understand, but nobody knew him outside of a fucking commercial. It's [u][b][i][highlight]RIDICULOUS[/highlight][/i][/b][/u].

He'll be missed. He made commercials that normally would've been extremely annoying into entertainment. Rest in peace Mays, you won't be forgotten.

I agree with GodKing in pretty much every way [QUOTE=paul simon;23988486]I remember when people at my school were like "Omfg Michael Jackson died :c" and i was all like "Fuck Michael Jackson, Billy Mays just died! :crying:"[/QUOTE] I really hope you're joking...

Why do you even give a fuck that we care about him, we're not going to stop being a fan of him just because you came in here and started insulting us for being sad that someone died. If you aren't a fan of his, then get the fuck out of this thread, this thread was created to honor him, not for morons like you to come in and tell us how pathetic we are for caring about someone.

Billy mays was a awesome and kind man, he shall be remembered r.i.p billy [QUOTE=RichyZ;24252468]Unlike Michael Jackson, Billy made tv commercials fun to watch. All of Michael's Music after the 1990s fucking sucked. Scratch that, Michael after the 90's fucking sucked.[/QUOTE] Plus Micheal was a child molester.

[QUOTE=MR-X;24252545]Billy mays was a awesome and kind man, he shall be remembered r.i.p billy Plus Micheal was a child molester.[/QUOTE] He's been acquitted twice. Where is your proof? I'm not saying he isn't, but nobody [b]knows[/b]. [editline]07:17AM[/editline] [QUOTE=TheBrokenHobo;24252398]That was the most insensitive statement I've read in a long time.[/QUOTE] I want to insert an animated gif here. You know the one.. there's a dog, and some shades slide down over his eyes, and he tells you to deal with it.

[QUOTE=bigdoggie;24274953]Unlike Mays, Jackson actually contributed something.[/QUOTE] Jackson did music. Billy Mays did FANTASTIC PRODUCTS, for only 19.95$.

[QUOTE=bigdoggie;24274953]Unlike Mays, Jackson actually contributed something.[/QUOTE] They both contributed to something in their lifetimes, and should both be appreciated for what they did. Just because Billy Mays did something less notable than Michael doesn't mean he should be considered any less.

He was just a tv salesman, there's nothing special about him. He was not your friend, he was not your relative, stop crying about him.

I hate how they don't use his old commercials. Now its either a dumb woman's voice, or Anthony taking his place. Of course, Anthony taking his place is probably the best alternative to using the old commercials. [QUOTE=Sharker;24276779]He was just a tv salesman, [B]there's nothing special about him.[/B][/QUOTE] That's where you're wrong.

[QUOTE=Loen;24276645]Just because Billy Mays did something less notable than Michael doesn't mean he should be considered any less.[/QUOTE] Actually, I agree with you there.
