The obnoxious infomercial guy; Billy Mays
Now before I start I want to make it clear that I do know that I can record television shows and fast forward through the commercials or I can get up and do something else during a commercial. I just wanted to get that out of the way because I know that would be the first comment.What the fuck is the deal with Billy Mays, the guy with the black beard that does all these home product infomercials, probably the most well known being an ad for OxyClean? The fucking guy yells the entire time and if you think he's bad on a 30-second television commercial you need to check out one of the 10-minute infomercials. Seriously, I can't believe anyone buys any of that shit after listening to this guy for a few seconds.
I'm guessing that some advertising agency did a study and found that when you yell at people they tend to listen better because it's the same with radio car dealer ads. There's always some guy actually screaming at you on the radio and I bet if you could see him his face would be turning red. The first thing I do is turn it off but apparently most people don't or they'd stop doing it.

19I don't just turn the volume down, I change the channel as soon as a Billy Mays commercial comes on. So... to the comment that "Billy wins", because I know his name and products doesn't cut it. I know his voice, so the product promotion is blocked by me immediately. Ad dollars are wasted on me, and I hope others will "vote" as well and in any other creative means to combat this rude advertising.
Also, I will not buy any product that I'm aware of (since I don't watch the ads) that he endorses. It is insulting to know that the advertisers deliberately think that May's obnoxious factor equals success. I hope their rude disregard of tv-spam will someday be either legislated against, or consumers will be given options to 'block' loud ads. I hope that enough consumers will prove the advertisers wrong by not purchasing these products.
