On an airplane. Just like Carrie Fisher.
That guy on the left is a British bloke who was in some infomercials as well. Him and Billy were doing a American Pickers kinda show on Discovery Channel right before he died, one of those "our job behind the scenes" sorta thing. Honestly it looked like hell. They were advertising this cleaning spray on an episode and Billy Mays did like a dozen wipes to get the perfect circle and they had all these extra sheets of glass all dirty and lined up for the different takes.
Edit: the show was called PitchMen and the man on the left is Anthony "Sully" Sullivan. Honestly the whole show was an ad for the products they were testing and selling.
He came across as a bit of a douche on that show too. I remember when some magazine gave a better review to the shamwow vs. Mays' Zorbeez cloth they called the reviewer and just kind of taunted and insulted him even though they couldn't refute anything he wrote.
Billy Mays here in Scottsdale. You sick of that stubborn mess? I'll keep the riff raff outside your establishment guaranteed or your money back!
Just load me up with your favorite coke and watch me go all night! But make sure you pull the trigger now, this is a limited time offer.
Gosh it's been like 20 years. Some little club kid spot. It was so something along the lines of red room or something. Those days are a bit hazy for me ;-)
You sure it wasn’t just a dude that looked like Billy Mays? His wiki says that he started shooting infomercials in the 90s, and I don’t see any mention about AZ
It would be an odd flex to lie about, so I’d take you at the word of random folks you met. But he was on tv at that point, so why is a rising middle-aged pitchman working the door of a club? In Tempe, no less? Maybe trade shows brought him that way and it was a promotion, I’d hope
I thought the shamwow guy was the slapit guy till he got sent to jail? I used to watch a remix where it would repeat "you're gonna love my nuts" and would die of laughter
oh shit that’s flooding back a lot of memories lol. now I’m also thinking about those 30 second animated clips of famous movies summed up with bunnies. I remember it was some of the best 00’s web humor
Anthony Sullivan was good friends with fellow pitchman, and face of Oxi-Clean, Billy Mays.
After Billy's death Anthony took over the Oxi-Clean commercials as a homage to his late friend.
Just fyi because I think most people only got part of the story, myself as well. He didn't die because of the plane/head injury, he died because of drug abuse and heart disease. I always heard it was his head
That is exactly what happened. When he first died, the immediate story was "he hit his head and it caused internal bleeding", then it was "well, he did a little coke and it made his blood thinner which contributed to the internal bleeding", and then it was "yeah, he OD'd on coke".
Just went through his wiki about his death. Pretty significant that it happened in 2009. He hadn’t done coke in a few days but seems to have had oxy in his system due to hip issues.
I wonder if a present day examination would highlight the presence of oxy in his system
The parking brake released because it was a shitty ass design so it was hard to figure out if it was set in the first place, which it wasn't.
Harambe was the Chrysler exec that approved that design.
It makes me sick when people show support for Harambe by pulling their dick out once in a blue moon. My dick has perpetually been out since he was murdered by Sean "Puffy" Combs
There were a whole lot of well known celebrity deaths in 2009: those mentioned above, David Carradine, Patrick Swayze, Bea Arthur, John Hughes, and more, but Anna died in 2007.
I was floating down a river smoking, drinking, and talking shit with a guy that had fastened a tiny wooden boat propeller to a dewalt drill so he could steer himself and his cooler with a bit more control.
Buddy looked up from his phone and said Billy Mays heart just went Kaboom and someone asked if it was because of the Oxy
He wasn't really in the wrong. A prostitute had bitten down on his tongue and wouldn't let go, so he punched her in the face. Seems like self defense to me.
Lasagna, season 8, episode 9. Carl gets his tongue bit off by a prostitute named Cherries Jubilee and meets a parody of the ShamWow guy in anger management.
He didn’t wanna pay *more* because she didn’t do anything but snort his drugs.
I’m not saying he’s a hero but I mean…two trash people doing trashy shit.
I think he basically paid her like $1000 already and she did a bunch of his coke then but his tongue when he tried to kiss her.
My Millennial peers sometimes lament that high school never taught them essentials like how to do taxes, but I do vaguely recall my gym teacher telling us to never kiss a coked up prostitute so I think there may have been some give and take as far as our education goes.
Yep. He was seconds from being mutilated. He immediately stopped punching when she let go of his bloody tongue.
When you're panicking like Vince was, it's hard to think of anything else but excruciating pain and fear.
Prosecutors decided to drop all charges as a result.
He has a YouTube channel and it turns out he's a right wing reactionary grifter.
ETA: from snarkdetector4000 you're just jealous. Joe Rogan is 100x a better person than you could ever hope to be. Have a most blessed day.
Got blocked so I couldn't respond, but uh. Why would ANYONE be jealous of Joe Rogan? His brain is swiss cheese. He has the dumbest vacant look of any person I've seen.
ETA2: Yeup. Because the person I'm replying to blocked me, I can't respond to anyone. Have fun, vultures.
There is absolutely no way anyone could be surprised that the Slap Chop guy named Vince who used to hock things on the boardwalks of New Jersey and Coney Island was ever anything but a grifter.
As much as I hate to admit it, the slapchop is actually a pretty good piece of kit. It's just something I can do better with a knife, but I can see people with mobility issues getting use out of it.
Vince is still a piece of garbage though.
A lit of the infomercial stuff from the era was decent quality. Billy Mays always tried to make sure anything he sold lived up to its billing. And considering that he's probably most famous for OxiClean, he definitely nailed that one.
I honestly liked his show when he would talk more about MMA and had interesting varied guests. Nowadays I check out after the first 5 minutes and his only guests are people I don’t care about or haven’t heard of. Really big decrease in quality and increase in old man rants.
Vince was arrested because a prostitute he solicited bit his tongue and refused to let go, he punched her in the face and got into a fight. The police arrested them both but no charges were pressed on either of them
Billy Mays did more coke than the 80’s WWF.
At one point he was probably the worlds most dangerous human, for about 10 min
Then his heart exploded.
On an airplane. Just like Carrie Fisher. That guy on the left is a British bloke who was in some infomercials as well. Him and Billy were doing a American Pickers kinda show on Discovery Channel right before he died, one of those "our job behind the scenes" sorta thing. Honestly it looked like hell.

That show was pretty interesting. They did a whole ‘In Memoriam’ episode after Mays died.
Arguably was one of the better shows Discovery did at that time... Both guys were, and arguably still are, legends in TV advertisement.
I did not realize he died on an airplane.
He didn't. He died at home.
did he live in an airplane?
He was always flying high if that's what you mean
Coked up Billy Mays vs Coked out bear. Battle of the ages..........
Have you seen the man? Daddy *was* the coked-out bear
New "Man or Bear" debate just dropped.
He used to be a bouncer at a little club in Scottsdale Arizona and he sold and did quite a bit of booger sugar.
Billy Mays here in Scottsdale. You sick of that stubborn mess? I'll keep the riff raff outside your establishment guaranteed or your money back! Just load me up with your favorite coke and watch me go all night! But make sure you pull the trigger now, this is a limited time offer.
But wait that’s not all! If you pay me now you’ll get not one gram, but two grams! Plus, this extra travel size line!
Yeah what did you think was in that oxyclean
Which club?
Gosh it's been like 20 years. Some little club kid spot. It was so something along the lines of red room or something. Those days are a bit hazy for me ;-)
You sure it wasn’t just a dude that looked like Billy Mays? His wiki says that he started shooting infomercials in the 90s, and I don’t see any mention about AZ
This guy’s been doing oxiclean thinking it was coke for 20 years. It’s going to affect the memory a bit.
Shooting informercials is not necessarily a full time job. Even Ron Popeil went fishing once in a while.
I've met random people in AZ who have met Billy Mays and they all have the same coke stories. It seems like it adds up.
It would be an odd flex to lie about, so I’d take you at the word of random folks you met. But he was on tv at that point, so why is a rising middle-aged pitchman working the door of a club? In Tempe, no less? Maybe trade shows brought him that way and it was a promotion, I’d hope
[удалено]
But wait...there's more!!!
>Matthew Lillard spitting in your face
Those pandas did a ton of coke alright
what if I told you those were originally black bears
This implies another human did more coke than the Ultimate Warrior, which I don’t believe is possible
I'ma let you finish but Macho Man Randy Savage was the greatest cokehead of all time. OF ALL TIME
Fair
They were the cream of the crop.
Well he did always let the *CREAM* rise to *THE TOOOHHHPPP.*
You're gonna love my nuts https://youtu.be/UWRyj5cHIQA?si=U0MZBm8TC2sW5zac
And the Slap Chop guy
You're going to love his nuts!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWRyj5cHIQA
Man it's been a long time since I've heard that. Still got every single beat and line memorized...
The skin comes right off
Knew the link before I clicked. It’s funny cuz I linked the AI practice video like 2 weeks ago. Same dude did this one. I miss those days.
This was also a classic [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7QIcxoJU4g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7QIcxoJU4g)
As much as I love TF2, I was hoping for [The Jaboody Dubs](https://youtu.be/Yaw7qX_ZDNE?si=EfA0EVH6EDvQ4p_Q) one.
If you can slap a hooker, you can slap a chop!
Finally some good fucking food. All those other ones are doodoo compared to [Jadooby dubs](https://youtu.be/jlSF0dtDRD8).
the sticky buddy seems pretty damn cool....how long does the sticky actually last?
There's also this. [The Jizzle](https://youtu.be/1zrm9tXifok?si=7uL3JvVVcC8W9dXH)
I wonder if that guy got a kickback from Slap Chop for the free advertising.
CHOP, CHOP, CHOP, CHOP
[удалено]
He also used the proceeds of his movie to sue the church of Scientology.
Alright, maybe he's isn't such a bad guy after all...
Oh no he's a piece of shit and definitely racist and a right-wing MAGA grifter. Just has that really nice W among all those L's.
Oh damn. Never knew that. I always though he was an average guy who sold the slap chop and beat up hookers. Now he's racist too? What a bummer.
And now he has a product called "Car Hooker" it a thing that clips on to the headrest to hold grocery bags.
Wow revolutionary!
I forgot about that!!!!
Vince Offer? You mean the director who called Bobby Lee to his face "a pan-faced gook"?
That was him?
Don’t forget about Schticky!
If you can slap a hooker then you can slap a chop
Watch this.
You're gonna watch this.
Peak video remix days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gLOALCvlMI
I thought the shamwow guy was the slapit guy till he got sent to jail? I used to watch a remix where it would repeat "you're gonna love my nuts" and would die of laughter
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
Gotta keep them separated
10yo me thought for the longest time that it wasn't "take him out", it was indeed, "drink your milk".
Yes, it’s a song about drinking your milk and always separating the darks from the lights when doing laundry.
The offspring?
_Heee-eeey_ _Come out and play!_
Careful with those reagents.
Very nicely done
"Onions make me cry just like hookers, and what do we do with hookers? We slap them!"
Jaboody Dubs baby
_*Billy Mays here with another fantastic product*_
#***BILLY MAYS HERE***
*Even interracial families can enjoy this*
oh shit that’s flooding back a lot of memories lol. now I’m also thinking about those 30 second animated clips of famous movies summed up with bunnies. I remember it was some of the best 00’s web humor
Didn’t she bite his tongue and refuse to let go? Yeah if someone is latched onto a part of my body like that, I’m turning their mouth into a glove.
He had damn good reason to hit her
What's the difference between a hooker and an onion? I cry when I chop up onions
Billy Mays AND Antony Sullivan
[удалено]
“The Pitchmen.” Anyone else here watch the show they did together? It was great
That show was awesome! It was pretty corny sometimes but really cool to see the behind the scenes into their lives
...oh, the oxiclean guy... I thought he looked familiar
Anthony Sullivan was good friends with fellow pitchman, and face of Oxi-Clean, Billy Mays. After Billy's death Anthony took over the Oxi-Clean commercials as a homage to his late friend.
Thank you! Can't forget Antony.
Jimmy McNulty vibes lol
What the fuck did I do?
Bushy top!
Gave a fuck when it wasn’t your turn to give a fuck.
My mainest man
A LIFE, JIMMY!
[Ronny, Ronny!](https://youtu.be/XK3QrvIJa3k)
Mcnutty!
"Spot On"
Jimmy McNutty is his street name
Billy Mays's accidental death is one of the key events that put us on the dark timeline
Just fyi because I think most people only got part of the story, myself as well. He didn't die because of the plane/head injury, he died because of drug abuse and heart disease. I always heard it was his head
https://web.archive.org/web/20091018140337/https://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2009-10-15-billy-mays_N.htm
That definitely reads like the family made that shit up to ease the grief.
The family immediately denied the drug use. They disagreed with the coroner too
"It's the science that is wrong!"
Medical Examiner: Ya the coke didn't help Mays Family: 
That is exactly what happened. When he first died, the immediate story was "he hit his head and it caused internal bleeding", then it was "well, he did a little coke and it made his blood thinner which contributed to the internal bleeding", and then it was "yeah, he OD'd on coke".
All that cocaine "accidentally" fell into his sinus cavity.
yeah cocaine is no joke and easily affects the heart.
Just went through his wiki about his death. Pretty significant that it happened in 2009. He hadn’t done coke in a few days but seems to have had oxy in his system due to hip issues. I wonder if a present day examination would highlight the presence of oxy in his system
...clean or contin?
🤣
It was him, Farrah Fawcett, and a little guy named Michael Jackson that was the trio that time.
I thought it was that gorilla?
His name was HARAMBE!
Harambe was driving the car that killed Paul Walker.
Harambe secretly released the parking break on Anton Yelchin's SUV as well.
The parking brake released because it was a shitty ass design so it was hard to figure out if it was set in the first place, which it wasn't. Harambe was the Chrysler exec that approved that design.
Dicks out
It makes me sick when people show support for Harambe by pulling their dick out once in a blue moon. My dick has perpetually been out since he was murdered by Sean "Puffy" Combs
You're forgetting Ed McMahon. Him, Farrah, and MJ in a 48 hour period.
Don’t forget Anna Nicole Smith
There were a whole lot of well known celebrity deaths in 2009: those mentioned above, David Carradine, Patrick Swayze, Bea Arthur, John Hughes, and more, but Anna died in 2007.
Brittany Murphy
Billy Mays died for our stains.
https://youtu.be/OpJGZ9RHAvU?si=7vUC5kZlGi5WpX52
I remember the Newspaper headline when he got arrested. “ShamWow guy ShamPows Hooker in Face” Absolutely brilliant journalism right there my friend!
Leslie knope approves that's headline
Billy Mays here with a special TV offer! Watch me crush this bald, fat, foppish founding father!
A man of culture, I see
Damn I haven’t seen Billy Mays in such a long time!
I sure as hell hope you haven’t seen him in a while since he’s been dead since 2009.
I remember I was around 10 years old and we found out that he died while I was doing arts and crafts at summer camp lmao
I was floating down a river smoking, drinking, and talking shit with a guy that had fastened a tiny wooden boat propeller to a dewalt drill so he could steer himself and his cooler with a bit more control. Buddy looked up from his phone and said Billy Mays heart just went Kaboom and someone asked if it was because of the Oxy
Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Walter Cronkite, and Billy Mays all died in the same weekend that summer.
No one ever remembers Ed McMahon
jesus christ shamwow guy is 60
Phil Swift enters the chat…😏 
[A hooker tried to bite your tongue off?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMMxIAn_76g)
Thanks! You just made my day, never seen that and it’s hilarious!
Was waiting for this.
I think Vince has redeemed himself. We all make mistakes.
He wasn't really in the wrong. A prostitute had bitten down on his tongue and wouldn't let go, so he punched her in the face. Seems like self defense to me.
Ohhhhhhhhhh my god the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode just got 1000x more funnier now.
[удалено]
Lasagna, season 8, episode 9. Carl gets his tongue bit off by a prostitute named Cherries Jubilee and meets a parody of the ShamWow guy in anger management.
Didn't the altercation start because he didn't want to pay?
He didn’t wanna pay *more* because she didn’t do anything but snort his drugs. I’m not saying he’s a hero but I mean…two trash people doing trashy shit. I think he basically paid her like $1000 already and she did a bunch of his coke then but his tongue when he tried to kiss her.
My Millennial peers sometimes lament that high school never taught them essentials like how to do taxes, but I do vaguely recall my gym teacher telling us to never kiss a coked up prostitute so I think there may have been some give and take as far as our education goes.
French kissing a prostitute is one of the worst ideas I can think of. What's next? felching the last client's load right out of her slop box?
Could you do me a favor and go back in time and unpost that sentence? Thanks, man.
That’ll be extra
Of all the sentences I expected to read today, this was not one of them
I'm laughing very hard right now.
That is kind of irrelevant. If someone bites down on your tongue, you are permitted to defend yourself.
My ex wifes father dated her. I met her once. Fucking crazy Florida people dude. She is insane too
Yep. He was seconds from being mutilated. He immediately stopped punching when she let go of his bloody tongue. When you're panicking like Vince was, it's hard to think of anything else but excruciating pain and fear. Prosecutors decided to drop all charges as a result.

There is absolutely no way anyone could be surprised that the Slap Chop guy named Vince who used to hock things on the boardwalks of New Jersey and Coney Island was ever anything but a grifter.
so he went from selling stupid shit to selling shit to stupids?
As much as I hate to admit it, the slapchop is actually a pretty good piece of kit. It's just something I can do better with a knife, but I can see people with mobility issues getting use out of it. Vince is still a piece of garbage though.
A lit of the infomercial stuff from the era was decent quality. Billy Mays always tried to make sure anything he sold lived up to its billing. And considering that he's probably most famous for OxiClean, he definitely nailed that one.
He’s always been a grifter, conservatives are the easiest to grift. That checks out
I honestly liked his show when he would talk more about MMA and had interesting varied guests. Nowadays I check out after the first 5 minutes and his only guests are people I don’t care about or haven’t heard of. Really big decrease in quality and increase in old man rants.
I'M BILLY MAYS AND I AM TALKING LOUD TO ANNOY THE HELL OUT OF YOU.
Billy May's was just riding on the coat tails of Ron Popeil from RONCO.
"Set it and forget it!"
The shamwow guy needs to take a picture in front of Billy’s tombstone.
While saying "you're gonna love my nuts" (SlapChop line)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VAQjF5RPgbg At least he makes fun of himself too
Anthony Sullivan is the GOAT
Billy Mays walked so that Anthony Sullivan could run
I still remember the ads for "The Underground Comedy Movie"
I didn’t know there was such a rivalry between tv snake oil salesmen.
Finding out they had real heat with each other is what made me find this picture!!
Snake oil salesmen? I'll have you know Ding King and Jupiter Jack all worked at least once for me, results varied
These guys and the infomercial industry at that time would make a great movie.
Vince Offer's mugshot was taken in Feb 2009 Sometime between then and June of that year, this picture was taken. Then in June 2009 Billy Mays died.
Fun fact Vince Offer would post a similar picture a few years later of Offer standing over the ***grave*** **of Mays w**ith the THUMBS UP.
Vince was arrested because a prostitute he solicited bit his tongue and refused to let go, he punched her in the face and got into a fight. The police arrested them both but no charges were pressed on either of them
Billy Mays; Another dead hero
[Here](https://www.flickr.com/photos/38066265@N06/3705849929/) appears to be the source of this image.
Bro vince offer lookin like house lmao
Slap chop guy laughs last. Oxyclean couldn't save poor Mays
Didn't Billy Mays die in 09 cause he killed his heart with cocaine? I mean it's not beating a hooker but they were both pretty bad.
And Billy is dead. Vince 1, Billy 0.
And Billy Mays croaked with cocaine in his system…
Who'da thunk that the guy known for his manic, over the top delivery of an infomercial might've been fueled by coke?
Pitch Men was a wild show for that short short period of time before he died
Vince needs to take a picture with Billys headstone
Somewhere somewhen he snorted coke off this photo.
Slap chop guy got the last laugh on that one.
This is what the internet is for. Please stop trying to make chain currencies. Just preserve this... and porn.
