The Best Billy Mays Pitch
This has to be my all-time favorite, and it isn't even for a household cleaning product. The first time I saw the little sports balls traveling down the cat5 wire, I nearly peed myself. The multiple levels of satire going on in this spot are just phenomenal, not the least of which is Billy's cheerful willingness to parody his own persona. Gotta love whoever made this for ESPN360.com.
Here are links directly to the four ESPN360.com spots he did (all that are on YouTube, at least), each of them funny as hell.
ESPN360.com - Office (the one posted directly above, my favorite)
ESPN360.com - Intro (ALMOST as good)
ESPN360.com - On The Run (sick)
ESPN360.com - College
I'd give these people awards just for all the times the word "CRICKET" appears in the list of sports. Sooo droll.
I'm going to have to some cataloguing of Billy videos, and post more links. I gotta say, I think Billy's death has made me more upset than Michael Jackson's. MJ was clearly a troubled (albeit talented) freak from another planet... but Billy was One Of My Peeps.
