I’m sorry Vince, but you’ve got nothing on Billy Mays.  Mr. As Seen on TV was one of, if not the best, pitchmen of our time.  It all started in1992 when Mays became friends with rival salesman Max Appel, found of Orange Glo International.  Afterwards, Mays was hired to promote their notorious line – OxiClean.  Due to his success as a pitchman, Mays became CEO and Founder of Mays Promotions Inc, where he became the most sought after pitchman.  Throughout his career Mays was seen promoting anything from ESPN online services to Mighty Putty.  I grew up listening to this man screaming and shouting at me to buy whatever he had in his hands for three easy payments of something that ended with 95 cents before shipping and handeling.  Although I did not have the disposable income, or the need to purchase and of his products, I will always remember him and the products he marketed.  Mays marketed just more then the product he was holding.  He was a credible, friendly, successful salesman.  Thank you Billy for making commercials that much more enjoyable.

I was going to post a video of him actually selling something, but I found this extremely entertaining when I was searching online…  But now here his him actually selling his notorious OxiClean.
