Man, if somebody could split-screen that and ShamWow and use Dueling Banjos for the soundtrack, it’d be an instant internet sensation!
Followed by a death match between Billy Mays and Vince Offer where they both lose, of course…
Every time he say “we can’t do this all day” my seven year old goes “Yes you can. You’ve been doing it for months!”
I did go to a home and garden show this past weekend, and strangely enough, I actually got in a fight with the Shamwow guy. True story. It went something like this:
Wife and I walk bast Shamwow booth.
Me “Hey, it’s the Shamwow booth. I need to see Vince!”
Shamwow guy “Vince is an idiot, I’m much better”
Me “I just like his presentation”
SWG: “You don’t know what your talking about, Vince doesn’t know much about this”
I stop and stare at the guy, then speak slowly and clearly: “I know he’s a better salesman than you, because he makes me want to buy the product. You insult me, I wouldn’t buy from you on a bet”.
SWG “Asshole”
Me, to vendor with the booth next to Shamwow, looking on in amazement. You have to understand that the Shamwow guy was surly and combative, on his little mic, through this whole thing. “Wow. This guy wants to sell me something by calling me an asshole” and that vendor shook his head and said “No kidding!”
So I walked away, Shamwowless. Too bad, cuz I just might have bought one, I’ve been interested in seeing one in person for a while now. I don’t have any type of Shammy at all anymore, and they are handy to have.
Wandering through the MN state fair earlier this year, there was a booth selling these things. The guy hawking them must have been Vince’s brother or cousin or maybe both. It definately wasn’t the same guy, but he sure was trying out for the same part in the play.
