Salesman Battle Royale

Arrested Developer · 01-12-2009, 08:03 PM

Help me settle a bet, which salesman could convince you to buy anything?

Arrested Developer · 01-12-2009, 08:09 PM

For reference:

Ron

Billy

Vince

Mxyzptlk · 01-12-2009, 08:17 PM

Ron, all the way. That guy can almost make me fall for anything he's pitching. Although Billy is a close second. Vince can EABOD.

Technophile · 01-12-2009, 08:49 PM

I say Vince. Only because he looks and talks like the Scout from TF2 and that makes me friggin laugh.

He's even got that damn headset mic.

Christiangamer · 01-12-2009, 09:24 PM

Billy. I can't stand Vince and I don't recognize the other guy. But I recognize Billy and I think that means something.

Tdiddy9182 · 01-12-2009, 10:03 PM

Its gotta be Billy Mays. I actually met him during my time working retail. He would always wear a navy blue Under Armour track suit. His beard is black as the night and well groomed. It took me a while to recognize him, because he wasn't yelling at me.

TrailerParkJesus · 01-12-2009, 10:36 PM

Damn, Ronco Electric Food Dehydrator was awesome. "Set it and forget it!" Though he fails because I never had the desire to buy one.

I'm gonna go with Shamwow guy. He looks like he's ready to take my calls.

Krow · 01-12-2009, 10:42 PM

Billy May's all the way, I can't get enough of those guys commercials, and he manages to pitch things without seeming like a giant douchebag.

Wasn't it the Showtime Counter-top rotisserie that you could "set it and forget it"?

Amazon.com.

I have no idea who any of them are but I went for Billy because he has a beard that makes you want to buy something.

ZombiePlatypus · 01-13-2009, 12:21 PM

Gotta go with Vince. The guy is just so comical, with the headset he doesn't need, the constant hand movements, odd facial ticks and things he says. Plus he seems like he just really doesn't want to be there selling stuff, like he's trying to act enthused, just not trying very hard. I dunno, his commercials just crack me up...

Billy's too loud and annoying... I've never seen Ron in a commercial, though I was given one of his Pocket Fishermen once and they're really pretty dumb...

Bleach Boy · 01-13-2009, 12:24 PM

Billy because he seems like he would make you buy his product.

Fuck 'em all, I say.

Billy, because he can't keep his voice under 2 million dB

Ron, because I think he's an android

Vince, just look at him. end of story.

The-Excel · 01-13-2009, 03:02 PM

I saw Richard Karn on a commercial for a Kodak printer once. I think Kodak got him confused with Billy Mays or something.

My fuck you're right. I remember it had the vegetable steamer right on top! I would have bought that one. Hmmm, I need to reconsider some things.

Ha, thought the same thing the other night.

I voted Billy just for efficiency.

Ron's kind of scary. Plus I hate the editing on his infomercials. And...I cook, and I've used his rotisserie thing, and imo it's crap. And you cannot buy 23423489 knives for 3 easy payments of yayayaya and expect them to be any goddamn good. Sorry, they are made of crap steel and will never hold a decent edge.

People, don't buy this crap! Money down the drain! Vegetable steamer? Any pot you own plus some aluminum foil and VOILA. If you've got broccoli, peel and slice the main stalks so you make a kind of raft to place whatever you're steaming and then fill just barely to the top of the stalks. Lid on. Everything's done at once.

Dexter345 · 01-16-2009, 07:05 PM

I agree with Mxy, Ron could sell me anything.

Billy Mays is obnoxious, and the young dude is too. Ron is serene. I almost bought a full set of Ronco knives just because, you know, knives, man. They cut stuff.

Sam Spectre · 01-16-2009, 08:00 PM

Vince because I am convinced that Shamwow can clean up fucking anything now. They should have used it during Katrina.
