Billy Mays dies.
Billy Mays, awesome spokesman of everything you’d ever want, died last night in his sleep.
He was only 50.
I had just posted this picture… I guess Vince Shlomi has more work now.

HOW TRIPPY IS IT THAT YOU JUST POSTED THAT PICTURE?
(B.T.W. JUNE 28TH IS ALL CAPS DAY )
P.S. I FEEL LIKE KANYE WEST.
Damn, he really is dead.
According to some people, he hit his head on an airplane or something and then felt sick as he went to bed.
This really sucks… its been a rough week.
Crap! My niece told me he had died while we were at lunch today, and I thought that she was just messin’ with me.
After Ed, Farrah and Michael passed this week, I’d told a buddy that I didn’t think that Death was taking a break but going for a Quadfecta. I figured that it would have been either Elizabeth Taylor or Liza after Michael dropped.
Poor Billy.
Man this sucks. Just saw him on Conan the other day. If it has anything to do with his head injury on the US Airways flight his family better get compensation.
Granted I had issues the Billy as I have worked with him but man I don’t want to see anyone taken from life and his family like this. My condolences go out to his family and fans.
whats with all the celebrity deaths….Armageddon!!!! lol
GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE
my daddy told me this when i was asleep this morning and i didnt believe him. so sad. i’m more sad for billy than i am for michael jackson. billy still had shit to get done.
OHH BILLY, NOW WHO AM I GONNA BUY SHITTY PRODUCTS FROM. TODAY WILL BE ALL CAPS DAY JUST FOR YOU
Does this mean that there aren’t going to be any new voice overs for his promos?

You`ll be very much missed. RIP Billy.
Kind of ironic that the man who makes his living with his mouth, checked out silently.
I just seen him on Conan, Way too young.
Holy sham wow! they’re dropping like flies.
Anyone seen that cartoon on adult swim…Death Note! maybe someone out there hatin’ on celebs and killing them off?
Olivia, 3 words: protect ya neck.
Very Interesting coincidence though. makes me wonder….wtfx up!?
i thought this was a joke when i heard it. i was actually kinda sad. jaboodydubs vids of billy are so funny. they made me laugh so hard. “no more fucking around” RIP billy mays, the pitchman to end all pitchmen.
Damn all these celebrities keep dying. Gets you wondering whose next.
There must be some kind of unknown disease that kills celebrities after their prime. It is getting ridiculous now, 4 celebrities down, who is next god? How much must you take from us?!
I thought it was a hoax at first like Louie Anderson. Not a good week.
R.I.P. Mr. Mays.
Such sad news.
In the internal words of Hunter S. Thompson, “There he goes. One of God’s own prototypes. A high powered mutant of somekind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
R.I.P. Billy Mays.
You will be missed.
What…
RIP
I loved those skits you and Kevin would do, making fun of Billy’s and Vince’s commercials, and I like to think at least Billy was cool enough to get a chuckle or two from them.
Man this week sucks.No sales-man can ever be as cool as him.RIP Billy Mays.
Dang-It’s like the above poster said–You and haislip are possibly the kiss of Death—and yes It does mean the start of another cycle of 3-spooky…
“Mays was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported.
US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station.
Authorities have not said whether Mays’ death was related to the incident.”
-fox news report
Damn, you and Haislip just mention someone and they die. You guys just need to keep quite.
damnit
First MJ the King Of Pop and now Billy Mays, the Salesman-to-end-all-Salesmen. What is going on? Theres a silent killer of celebrities on the loose! Who’s going to be next, I’m afraid to ask.
Olivia, stop eating so much, or I’ll have to commit suicide!
Shucks, anybody whose anybody is dying this week. If only I bought more OxiClean…its worth so much more now.
RIP Billy - you were way better than Vince.
It’s been a tough week…
But they say it comes in 3s. But he’s number 4.
I hope it ends here. :/
RIP All
HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY….WOW !!!!……THAT’S CRAZYYYYY….!!!…..RIP
……OOOOOOOOOOO…..K
They say celeb deaths happen in 3’s! Wow! In his honour tonight I wash laundy with Oxy-clean. May my whites be white, and the colors stay bright. RIP BM.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
On my knees, with hands in the air lol
Just insane… Rest in Peace Billy.
I have the same thought that pretty much everybody else has. What the hell is up with so many celebrities dying in such a short amount of time and so early?! Damn.
RIP Billy.
No, now who’s gonna convince me that I need cheap crap I don’t need! And I loved his show you could tell he loved his job. They should a memorial to him at smithsonians’ tv icons display: Billy Mays television’s greatest pitchman!
NO WAY! What is going on here.
out of ALL those info-douches, billy was the lesser of evils… and he even CAME ON AOTS, so i got more love for him then the rest of them. HE HAS been flying around alot, i saw him on the Conan O’brien show recently, then aots, and whatever else hes been doing that does suck tho, RIP OXYCLEAN
Best guestimate cause of death:
1) Intracranial hemorrhage - based on hitting his head in the plane yesterday, especially if he did not have a head CT done yesterday to rule it out, or
2) Pulmonary embolus (large lung clot) - based on his extensive plane travel the past month and sudden onset.
3) The Sham-wow guy did it - based on that pic Olivia posted the other day.
btw “Billy Mays” can’t be his real name, right? I mean come on “Willy Mays” / “Will Amaze”?
He must’ve specifically chose this name for Informercial Host purposes.
YO!!!…..WTF!!?!?!?! WHAT’S GOING ON?!?!?! R.I.P. BILLY MAYS!
Oh this is terrible. He was my hero!!! Who else will find fantastic products for us????
So…if I got this straight, you randomly looked up a Billy Mays pic to post and then he dies? WTF?!
Is Olivia the angel of death? Watch out, whoever gets the next random shout out!
Lol! So your final words can be. “Tell my family to log on to oliviamunn.com and see how jealous all the other followers of the co-host of a basic cable show are of me”
But to get a shout out is worth the risk.
This makes me more upset than any of the others this week. Me and my sister used to stay up all hours watching silly infomercials. Billy was my favorite of the last few years.
And the show Pitchmen showed how much he loved his job, and how much pride he put into the products he pitched.
Bummer
WHY GOD?! TAKE SHLOMI INSTEAD!
+1. Shamwow Guy lives but Billy Mays dies. Truely there is no justice in the world…
Probably a subdural hematoma got him. Poor Billy. His friend Anthony Sullivan lives a few blocks over from me. He will live on as a legend.
Man, I was hoping this was a a mean joke, wtf is going on?!
R.I.p Billy
I suspect foul play!
I believe those damn Vince Shlomi fans got him.
It’s like Tupac & Biggie all over again.
Stop the violence, yall.
Nicely put, resna Tachyon, but it has been a crazy week. People do die everyday, but these were well-known individuals. It makes you more aware of death, in a way.
this is some weird shit, the last couple of years with heath ledger and the guy from that movie bully. now all this stuff.
