Forum:Billy Mays (1958-2009) R.I.P



Guys, it's official. Billy Mays, the commercial guy that we have embedded, laughed of and quoted, died in his own home the 28th of June.

Billy, I will sincerely miss your awkward TV-SHOP commercials, your fine looking beard and mighty, booming voice. Wherever you are, I hope you are able to sell people crappy glue substitutes and Gophers. I salute you, good loud-voiced sir.

I figure there is a chance I will get banned (or more likely, get a reprimand) for posting this as a thread in the General Discussion, but would be worth it. Also, among all the random threads and VTHG polls, this thread wouldn't harm anyone. AngryNorwegianDude 19:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

BILLY! WHY?!?!? Fat Man Spoon 19:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Bless his soul. God help us all. Just doing my job. 20:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Wait, first mikey J, then Billy a few days later? What the hell is going on? Fat Man Spoon 20:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Either pray for Cheney to kick the bucket, or lock yer damn doors, the pirate of the wastes is out in full force! Just doing my job. 20:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

OK, I know this is only conspiracy theory fuel, but consider this: Billy Mays and Michael Jackson were both born in 1958. Both died this month. Creepy... AngryNorwegianDude 20:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Here is some other famous people born in 1958:


 * Holly Hunter


 * Michael Jackson


 * Madonna


 * Madeline Stowe


 * Bruce Campell


 * The Artist Formerly Known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince


 * Tim Robbins


 * Megan Mullally


 * Billy Mays

I predict Madonna will go next. Fat Man Spoon 20:23, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Why couldn't we have lost her instead of Billy? WHYYYY??? AngryNorwegianDude 20:27, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What about that Sullivan guy who was on Pitchmen with Billy? Just doing my job. 20:30, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If Bruce Campbell dies, I'm going to lose it, or Prince. Butcher Pete 20:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Bruce Campbell cannot die. He's the one actually doing all the shit people claim Chuck Norris does.  Hail to the king, baby!  LVTDUDE 20:57, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I thought this was part of the "Flame War" and somebody had assasinated a Fallout Eleventy Billy Mays. WTF. On a side note - I'd bang Megan Mullally.

Lol at least Billy's legacy won't be molesting kids.V.A.T.S. addict 21:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * DO NOT LAUGH AT BILLY MAYS!!! Fat Man Spoon 21:08, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sham-Wow guy just replaced Billy in the new season of Pitchmen. V.A.T.S. addict 21:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * What, Hooker Hitter? This must have been his plan all along! Fat Man Spoon 21:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Michael Jackson did not molest kids. He was found innocent by a court of law, and just spent time with children all of the time because his childhood was corrupted by a ruthless stage father who wouldn't allow the Jackson kids to do anything except perform and perfect. He wouldn't do anything to destroy another child's life like that. Its a shame when a man with a legendary music career is shadowed by a faux-scandal cooked up by the media and greedy parents. Butcher Pete 22:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * He also paid 20 million to make a case go away. The fact that there is a Billy Mays thread and no MJ thread is a travesty. V.A.T.S. addict 05:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

No, not Bruce Campbell! No one else can play Sam. "Anyone need a beer?" Ratchetdude099 21:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

This is a really sad month. A lot of people are passing away :(. I'll miss his infomercials that you can year anywhere in your house, and his manly beard of epicness. I should start playing my Saint's Row 2 Billy Mays character again :( LJ Carrion 22:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

for a second I thought the video proffessor was Jack Layton. --DragonJTSLeave me a message 02:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

==Questions Remain== Despite police and family assertion the Snuggie is the murder weapon in the Mays case, numerous media outlets raise questions regarding the toxicity of Oxiclean. V.A.T.S. addict 21:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I blame Orange Glo. That thing looks nasty. Or maybe someone pinched him to death with the Gopher? Although, he died in his sleep, so the Snuggie is a hot candidate. AngryNorwegianDude 21:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh no now how will we know about the wonders of Oxy Clean!?!?

IT WAS MR. CLEAN!!!!!--Atlas Lied! 14:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Who will tell me about Orange Glo,now?Kevin,the Shamwow guy?NO!!...That's it,I'm buying the first season of Pitchmen.(Suddenly disappears) HuangLee 21:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

The Slapchop guy may be more slippery and greasy, but Billy Mays will forever be the more popular in humanities' heart.
