You Gotta Love Vince The ShamWow Guy

For those of you than don't know who in the heck Vince Offer is, he's also known as Vince the Shamwow guy - and i dont know about where you live, but here in california, he's on the TV 24/7.

The first TV commercial he did for Shamwow was a bit irritating, but he sorta grows on you (i think i made a post about it a while back).  If you havn't enjoyed Vince the Sham-Wow guy in the ShamWow commercial, here it is:

 

NOW, Vince the Shamwow guy is going to be known as Vince the SlapChop guy - he's hawking one of those $9 hand-chopper thingy's from the 80's, but he does it so well it ALMOST makes me want to go and buy one. 

"..You're gunna be slapping your troubles away.."  (hehe):

I want a Slap Chop!  .. well.. you get one first, then let me know how it is..

 

But Vince the Shamwow Slapchop guy is more than just the new Ron Popile or Billy Mays!  He is multi talented and a few years ago released and starred in this movie:

 

And the Shamwow guy might even be on his way to being the new Weird-Al.  Have a look at this music video he stars in.  It's just over PG-13 and might not be safe for work if you have the volume up loud.  To watch it you'll have to go over to YouTube:  Vince the Shamwow Guy Singing

 

I can't wait to see Vince the ShamWow guy selling hair-in-a-can, a fold-up pocket-sized fishing pole, or 10-gallon tubs of Oxi-Clean.  But seriously, I think he has found his calling in life.

... it is possible that sit in front of the TV too much..

 



EDIT: Vince the Shamwow guy beats Billy Mayes, hands down:

I've watched all of his commercials. I love him so much!!! He's the most amazing guy. But he always keeps his eyes closed when he talks. Is he afraid of something...

Re: You Gotta Love Vince The ShamWow Guy

haha, so I turned on the TV and the slapchop commercial was on right as he was saying "your going to love my nuts"... I guess the prostitute did not love his as he thought she was going to.

ShamWow Guy- ARRESTED!

Vince Shlomi was arrested in Miami Beach last month after cops say he allegedly hired a hooker, whom he took back to his hotel. According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by The Smoking Gun, Shlomi began kissing the hooker when she allegedly "bit his tongue and would not let go."

According to cops, Shlomi then punched the prostitute several times until she released his tongue. Both the prostitute and Shlomi were arrested for felony aggravated battery.

One was taken in 2005 and one was taken in 2008...neither is the current one from this arrest. My bet is the one on the left is 2005 and the one on the right is 2008. She is going downhill but then again so is he if you look as his pictures.

Or better yet, kids, don't kiss your hooker.

Re: ShamWow Guy- ARRESTED!

I thought hookers had some kind of moral code about kissing, at least that's what I learned from Julia Roberts.

Re: ShamWow Guy- ARRESTED!

I thought punching hookers was a boy's rite of passage to being a man?  That said, I'm apparently stilll only a boy.  I just dissed myself.  Tongue

Seriously though, let this be a lesson to you all: Billy Mays is the spokesman for cheap TV products!

Well, it's been said that showbiz loves a good comeback.  Not sure if that goes for the infomercial-biz though Tongue

More ShamWow money, more ShamWow problems, ouch.

Re: You Gotta Love Vince The ShamWow Guy

I actually have had something exactly like this for years ... the cheese grater too ... but it's a little bit bigger.  My mother gave it to me, and I think she got it from "The Pampered Chef."  (I'd have to double check)  It's a wonderful chopper; I use it all the time & my fiancé loves it.

Re: You Gotta Love Vince The ShamWow Guy

sooo wanted a shamwow!!! being a parent of a young child, i fell in love with it i was practically drooling watching how it cleaned up spills and how it amazingly sucked up water. read complaints though. 

this one brought up a good point about the commercial.  i read it, watched the carpet square part of it again and saw what they were talking about.

http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/false-advertisement-c135072.html

anyone have one?  thoughts?

I saw this right away on the commercial the first time it came on.  In my opinion, that's one of those things that's too good to be true. Never tried it though... so I am curious to know if anyone else has.
