On February 10, Billy went on Adam Carolla’s radio show (listen below) and talked some serious trash, calling the Slap Chop a Crap Chop. While telling Adam that “I’m a lover, not a fighter,” Billy has challenged Vince to a “pitch-off,” anytime, anywhere. We can’t wait to see what happens next. Will Vince make Billy love his nuts?
Lots of interesting tidbits here, but it really caught our attention when Vince was asked if he’s the next Billy Mays.
“I don’t want to be. I’m in the film business, this is not my career.”
So we guess that ShamWow and Slap Chop profits are going to be funding The Underground Comedy Movie 2. At least Vince can’t sue Anna Nicole Smith this time around.
So far we’ve only seen the Slap Chop commercial on the web. But this semi-literate blogger just saw it on TV, so it is out there. If you see it, please post a comment and tell us the channel and time. Also, we’d love to know if the “You’re gonna love my nuts!” line made it into the TV-ready version of the spot.
I am confused when the poster states they don’t know where to buy the Slap Chop online. Did they think about trying slapchop.com?
Pitchman Billy Mays is a native of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania and he’s back in the Pittsburgh area this week visiting family. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review took this opportunity to interview their homeboy in today’s edition. Not too much new here, but there were a few nuggets of interesting info.
Billy does dye his trademark beard to hide the gray, as the natural salt-and-pepper appearance “looks kind of weird on television.” His Discovery channel show, “Pitchman: Gadgets to Glory,” will premiere in the spring.
Now, for the kicker, when asked about Vince Offer of ShamWow fame, Billy opines: “Please. He’s a one-hit wonder. He took a shot at the title but can’t compete.” If Billy thinks Vince can’t repeat his success, we guess hasn’t seen Slap Chop yet. Can’t wait to see if Vince responds. Let the pitchman smackdown begin!
