fungirlmmm	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 12:58PM I loved the Oxiclean products and the OrangeGlo but not the commercials for them. he was actually a very giving man from what I have read about him. I am sorry he has died at such a young age. Rated: +4Vote for this!
wiseowl	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 4:50PM Yes! He was colorful and exciting. He pitched like the product needed to sell. No person could not help but remember what he was selling. That was the name of the game and he did it well. Rated: +3Vote for this!

Troubleshooter	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 1:58PM In a word ... NO! I don't care to be shouted at to begin with, but to be shouted at for either a 30 second commercial or a half-hour informercial?!? PUL-LEASE! Rated: +2Vote for this!

yakfisher	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 6:37PM Yes! I can't believe he's gone. He seemed like a really good guy. I have heard some personal interviews and he really had to believe in a product to pitch it. Rated: +2Vote for this!

DaneMom	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 1:30PM I was intrigued by the "Pitchmen" show, and the numbers and impact made by these types of commercials. From everything I have read, he was a good man, a family man, and I think it is sad that he has passed unexpectedly so young- Rated: +1Vote for this!
Frankenface	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 1:32PM I'm with ether83 on this. Yes, it is sad that a notable character has PASSED on, but he really rubbed me the wrong way with his abrasive, obnoxious manner. Besides, I spent good money on Kaboom with high expectations, and it wasn't anything near what was pitched. Rated: +1Vote for this!
SavingMyself	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 1:33PM I think I will. He was very unique...I hate it when people die like that. Rated: +1Vote for this!
imahag	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 1:47PM I think it's really sad. He was one of those guys who got a bump on his head that killed him later. Crazy how fragile life really is Rated: +1Vote for this!

unicorn59	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 3:51PM I won't miss his yelling, but it's very tragic that he died, at such a young age... I read that he was on a plane this past week, and the landing gear was faulty, and he had a rough landing, and hit his head....He was interviewed after the incident, and talked about how he hit his head, but that he has a hard head....I guess they are looking to see if there's a connection to that, and his sudden death.

alicia87	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 7:50PM Yes! I know it sounds crazy but I thought he was entertaining. He was so into the salesguy thing! Rated: +1Vote for this!
MISTRESSROXY	Posted Jun 28th, 2009 at 9:23PM My little boy hated him and ran out of the room whenever he appeared. I also heard that he recently was in a crash landing and had a head bump. Prayers to his family. Rated: +1Vote for this!
