As much as I love these commercials, it just isn’t the same without Billy Mays screaming in my face. – Ms. Fix-It

Wait… you mean you DON’T care about owning a power chair?
IKR “You can get your power Chair for little or no cost to you!”
Can you get a DUI in a power chair?
No, but you can get a RUI
Yes, actually. There was a fairly recent case, but I can’t find where I read about it. If I remember right, the guy has to use a regular wheelchair for a few years now.
These days commercials are so stupid, watching them makes me want to avoid the product they are advertising. Thats why i never feel guilty skipping them.
The “things I care about” portion seems big…
J’aime le fromage aussi.
You’re not alone, Ms. Fix-it; we all miss Billy’s coke-fuelled ragings about spot remover. Rest in piece, Mr. Mays…
Agreed.
Every time I see an oxi-clean commercial now it has that phony British wannabe voice-over.
I miss the days of Orange-Glo and BAM!
May your voice echo in our hearts forever Billy Mays.
They didn’t even film new comercials. They still show Billy’s hands cleaning the stuff, they just cut out the head/full body shots and use a voice over. For God’s sake ad guys, let the man rest!
Don’t forget the local community colleges and “used catheters.”
…and rehab clinics. Apparently, at some point in the recent past, a study conducted by the ad industry concluded that the typical daytime TV viewer is uneducated, uninsured, undocumented, inebriated, mutated by faulty medications, and lounging at home with ever-dwindling reserves of workman’s comp benefits after the horrific accident which totaled his car. Not to worry, though, because they’ll send a towtruck driver right over immediately to hand you a massive wad of cash for the ratty old heap, running or not!
…and osteoporosis medications. Apparently we’re all 80-year-old women who’s legs break with a gentle breeze, and dream of taking long hikes with our perpetually giggling grandchildren.
yeah this is true when you don’t have CABLE. god damn. how do you have internet but not cable
how does this relate to not having cable?
I think he’s one of those people who was told they had to buy cable tv to get cable internet.
I have cable and we STILL get these.
I guess they think every person watching daytime TV is old, infirm, isn’t being provided for by their former/current employer, reuses their old catheters, and needs a scooter to get around because they got mesothelioma or some other disease we’ve never heard of until now which they are now suing their former employer/doctor over to pay for their outside life insurance – but first needs to take a class on motorcycles so they can live out their old age as a member of the Hell’s Old Catheters biker/scooter gang.
They’re all related in a huge conspiracy!
I have internet and don’t have cable.
I live too far out of town for cable, and had to choose between paying for internet or satellite tv, and since most of my classes are online, I needed the internet.
But even with cable, you still have the same commercials. You just have more channels to flip through to avoid seeing them too much.
I agree. this graph sounds like it’s describes infomercials…
I don’t know about the daytime ones, but around here most of the nighttime infomercials seem to be about exercise programs/equipment, get-rich-quick schemes, buying or selling gold, or “male enhancement”.
Oh, and I have minimal cable (the package below basic, which only includes 20 channels and isn’t even advertised) and I still have internet. Most of the shows I want to watch on the channels we don’t get are available online (almost all free and legal, too), and this way I don’t have to pay more than twice as much to get a bunch of channels we won’t watch and about 3 that we will.
I have cable….
And I still have to watch those horrendous commercials.
Well.. considering the audience of daytime television is unemployed people, old people, disabled people.. etc.
You forgot cars every commercial break there is at least one car commercial
I agree. This should definately include car commercials
You forgot cleaning products for housewives.
Thanks to daytime TV I now have a career as a medical assistant, a settlement for this slip-and-fall accident,some cheap no-medical life insurance (which is great because I would never pass the medical with this dia-beet-iss), a couch with something called “free layaway” and no payments til 2018, and a slap chop to make my salads as I go for a bath in my new tub with a door in the side, and all before Judge Joe Brown comes back on.
heh heh they forgot meg whitman commercials ^^
this graph is so true
Along w/ “things I care about”, condom commercials are in the same percentage… during the day (about 10a.m. thru 5:30p.m.)
Seems to me like the creator of this graph watches Peachtree TV during the day, like I do when I go home from the office for lunch. Family Feud is worth the hassle of the commercials, but they’re ALL THOSE ONES.
Lawyers aren’t allowed to advertise in Canada. :3
So. Freaking. Awesome.
my issue with these commercials is the diabeetus, catheters, power chairs, and a few others are federally funded programs. So every time you guys see those commercials just know that your tax dollars go to every person that gets one of those power chairs. Cause you know that’s the job of the government… to make sure your grandma has a motorized wheelchair… cause THATS in the constitution… surrrre.
You forgot “Natural Male Enhancment” products, god, i hate seeing those when I’m watching my CSI during the day(specifically on Spike).
ditto, i hate those commercials
oh, and dont forget about car commercials. some are good, but i see so many of them that it just got annoying
soooo true
This could be a venn diagram with “Commercials” on one side,
“Things I care about” on another side
and “Commericals with Billy Mayes” in the middle.
We Miss You Man.
Rest in Peace, Billy Mays. We miss your screams of “OXI CLEAN” and “ORANGE GLOW.”
u forgot the weight loss commercials and cleaning ads
What about the “WUT?” commercials that even afterwards, it’s a mystery as to what the point of it was?
omg you forgot diabeetus
