Your Favorite Informercial Celeb
Who do you like the best?
That flamboyant, exuberiant loudmouth, Billy Mays?
That suave, unconvincing Anthony Sullivan?
That creeped out Jim Carrey-type, The Sham Wow Guy, Vince??
That internet-get-rich-quick guy with his blonde-by-the-pool bunny girls? Who never, ever tells you how you get rich?
Or, a guy who actually made and developed his own products, Ron Popeil?
Who rates the most in the informerical ratings? 
Does anyone know where these guys came from? Why are they celebrities? Did I miss anyone??  |

Ron Popeil is cool, with all that stuff from The Pocket Fisherman to Spray-On Hair And he is easy to watch and listen to unlike the other repellent guys you listed.
How about that guy Anthony Robbins. He's got a HUGE face  Scares the crap out of me. |

Doesn Robbins do motivational speaking? He scares me too. Amazing someone can make a living that way.

I thought ShamWow Vince was somewhat funny ("Are ya followin' me, cameraguy?") until his arrest this past February. Turns out, he's just a plain old sleazebag. Well, not so old, really. And if you look closely at the ShamWow commercials, you can see the edits and switching. Apprently more Sham than Wow. Sad, sad, sad.
For all his bluster, Billy Mays seems to be a standup guy. I haven't heard any dirt about him. But man, is he ever LOUD!
Have to give props to Ron "Set it and forget it" Popiel. |

The fitness guy who used to long pony tail during 90s. He was on that stairmaster talking a million miles a second. Tony(?). I thought he was pretty hyper, but very convincing.
During the 80s, a guy named Tom Vu. His real estate infomercials were hilarious and his accent added to the fun...haha

Those real estate guys...what a bunch. I swear they could sell swampland to their own mothers.
What about this guy selling the big Internet Millionaire dream? He has this blonde bimbo with a fake British accent selling. They talk to "successful" customers. Not one of them tells what they did or what they sell on the net that got them an income of $40,000 a month, lol. Maybe it's porn???
