IT WAS THAT KABOOM VIDEO THAT TIPPED HIM OFF

So THAT’S what happened! If only he hadn’t made that one infomercial for Kaboom… the spy never would have figured out his true identity!

    Billy Mays, you will be missed…
    Also, a look back at the legend: http://consumerist.com/5303625/billy-mays-a-look-...

    I'm gonna miss that guy, he kicked ass :(

  3. Ruben on July 1st, 2009 7:34 am

    Ahhh, come on, who posted this??? Bad form.
    ='[ This submission makes me sad. (Heavy was my favorite)

  4. Synl on July 1st, 2009 7:35 am

    >.< Too soon. Too soon.

  5. Ruben on July 1st, 2009 7:59 am

    Totally. We're still recovering from his loss.
    TAKE IT DOWN!!!!

  6. NekoMajin on July 1st, 2009 8:01 am

    Kind of wrong but kind of right….did anyone notice they still play his commercials? (seems in bad taste to me…idk)

  7. Anonymous on July 1st, 2009 8:05 am

    waaaaaaaaaaaay too soon ='[

  8. Darkangelsv1 on July 1st, 2009 8:11 am

    This is what TVTropes would call a Funny Aneurysm Moment…

  9. 2Wings2 on July 1st, 2009 8:15 am

    i am never going to play spy ever again, and i am going to yell "THAT'S FOR BILLY" every time i kill one

  10. NoShoe4You on July 1st, 2009 8:36 am

    The spy is a spy! Either that or this guy is about to score a major teamkill.

  11. NoShoe4You on July 1st, 2009 8:36 am

  12. Cypher on July 1st, 2009 9:01 am

    Every BLU Spy is DEAD for Billy!

    *CHARRRGE!*

  13. novicechief on July 1st, 2009 10:42 am

    Michal Jackson jokes where funny but this is way too soon!

  14. ThePinkSpartan on July 1st, 2009 11:28 am

    While I'm not quite as militant as some of the lower commentors… I do agree this /type/ of remembrance post may be a biiit too soon. Bad form and all that.

    He will be missed. It's not often an Avatar of Charisma appears. At least he wasn't on the 'dark' side.

  15. patpo on July 1st, 2009 11:28 am

    The spy is a shamwow

  16. TehBlueOne on July 1st, 2009 1:01 pm

    Guy, atleast this isn't as disgraceful as the advertising companies. :( They still show Billy May adverts on TV even though they know he is dead. :(

  17. TehBlueOne on July 1st, 2009 1:01 pm

  18. Leo058 on July 1st, 2009 1:20 pm

    I think this is, at the moment, in bad taste. You gotta wait at least a week.

  19. meinmattias on July 1st, 2009 1:38 pm

    Indeed.

  20. Aaron Hong on July 1st, 2009 2:09 pm

    The Spy really should have been RED…

  21. MrRaccoon on July 1st, 2009 2:10 pm

    I guess I can't comment on this one, on my country we never heard his name
    Just… back off… slowly… dodge the… stones…

  22. MasqueNoMercy on July 1st, 2009 2:29 pm

    Agreed in bad form… but uhhh… please raise your hand if you cared more about billy mays dieing than michael jackson

    ::raises hand::

    i saw the guy on the tonight show half a week before he died

  23. Gustav on July 1st, 2009 2:39 pm

    agreed, they're both on the same team this is the worse spy check I have ever seen!

  24. MasqueNoMercy on July 1st, 2009 3:40 pm

    he was a pitchman in infomercials… always really excited and made his product seem like its a must have for a problem you never really realized you had… but he did it in a way all his own… very excited and over the top for like no reason at all… even when he was talking about something as simple as a pan that makes small hamburgers

    and he seemed like a nice guy too, since he was able to make fun of his own way of marketing because even he knew it was kind of silly, but it was his thing and he enjoyed it

  25. KingofRetards on July 1st, 2009 3:46 pm

    Celebrity deaths come in threes, you know, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson. Billy Mays threw in the fourth for FREE!

    I still have a place in my heart for you Billy Mays… ;_;

  26. KingHoboVI on July 1st, 2009 3:58 pm

    *sobs* Goodnight sweet prince. You were loved by all. (BLU spy not included)

  27. KingofRetards on July 1st, 2009 4:02 pm

    Never heard… of… BILLY…. MAYS!?!?!?
    RAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE!

  28. Cypher on July 1st, 2009 4:22 pm

    It's okay, we all do.

    Lets be glad he didn't boost the offer even more if we called now.

  29. RVG_Ravage on July 1st, 2009 4:37 pm

    You're not alone..

  30. MrRaccoon on July 1st, 2009 4:37 pm

    Woah! calm down, I don't want the hole retard army after me DX

  31. MrRaccoon on July 1st, 2009 4:37 pm

    Oh, I see…
    Yeah, he was great

  32. Badonk on July 1st, 2009 4:42 pm

    Fail for bad taste

  33. spart on July 1st, 2009 4:42 pm

    the spy has gone too far this time!!!

  34. FoxyMayo on July 1st, 2009 4:43 pm

    "Color Correction" would have helped this Spy from scoring a teamkill.

  35. Meow on July 1st, 2009 5:38 pm

    I thought it was pretty darn funny.
    Anyone saying it's bad taste just needs to pull the stick out of their ass.
    So he's dead. Woop diddly do. Just suck it up and move on. You don't even know the guy. All he did was crappy commercials for crappy products.
    Yeesh. People these days.
    "Boo hoo! Someone I don't actually know died!…wut?! PEOPLE MAKING JOKEZ ABOUT HIMZ! OH NOEZ!"

  36. Ruben on July 1st, 2009 5:40 pm

    *raises hand*

    Billy Mays was awesome. Maybe if MJ died back in his hayday, I would've cared more, but he turned into too much of a freak lately for me to really care.

    Yes, death comes in threes. He could be throwing one in, BUT………what if he's starting a whole new chain??? 2 more people are going to die soon.

  37. mckillyoface on July 1st, 2009 6:17 pm

    Billy was a damn charismatic person in his lifetime. A lot of people came to like him.
    While he by no means was everyone's favorite celeb, he's still a human, and he deserves our best wishes in the afterlife.

  38. mckillyoface on July 1st, 2009 6:19 pm

    *raises hand*
    At the very least, Billy never scared the hell out of me.

  39. mckillyoface on July 1st, 2009 6:20 pm

    I agree. Bad taste, man. Bad taste.

  40. BurnoutSpartan on July 1st, 2009 7:14 pm

    Win.

  41. BurnoutSpartan on July 1st, 2009 7:15 pm

    O.O

    Ummm… I gotta make a call, David Hasselhoff might be next…

  42. VJoe10 on July 1st, 2009 7:32 pm

    ;_;

  43. Sigma on July 1st, 2009 7:44 pm

    Chuckle-worthy, but a bit too soon. Maybe you should have waited until his body was in the ground…or Oxi-clean solution…or Orange Glow….or Kaboom.

  44. MrRaccoon on July 1st, 2009 8:06 pm

    The hell? Three people with awesome face!
    Oh wait, I just combo breaked it…
    Too bad

  45. Link_09 on July 1st, 2009 8:11 pm

    If you order now, we'll throw in a second death, absolutey free.
    Yao Ming, i think is dying guise

  46. ThisguycalledJ on July 1st, 2009 8:17 pm

    GET. OUT. That man was a saint amongst men. You some kind of internet tough guy? Yeah, he had his arrogant and obnoxious moments, but he was a funny and kind man in the end. A likable man. More of a man than you will ever be. This world is a lot darker without his smile and charisma.

  47. Megaman on July 1st, 2009 8:24 pm

    A little too soon for my tastes, but still a little funny.

    Might have been better if the Spy was a Scout. Then It just looks like the Sham-Wow dude is taking out the competition. But then it would need a new caption.

  48. TrunksPOAS on July 1st, 2009 8:43 pm

    Krillen, too soon

  49. Badonk on July 1st, 2009 9:01 pm

    There is no comp anymore, the shamwow guy got fired for punching a hooker
    …revenge maybe for billy kicking his skinny little ass

  50. Badonk on July 1st, 2009 9:05 pm

    *Raises hand*
    its horrible what happened to MJ but i have worked with Billy for over a year and the man had a personality that just made people like him. He will be missed.
    either way
    Goodbye King of Pop
    Goodbye king of Infomercials

  51. BlueChameleon on July 1st, 2009 9:31 pm

    Must…recover…

  52. anon on July 1st, 2009 9:32 pm

    too soon man

  53. Flamerion on July 1st, 2009 9:43 pm

    Too soon for the joke..should have been only a post about Billy Mayes and later the joke
    I didnt know him and I dont know MJ but drom the two Billy Mayes will be the one I would really miss
    R.I.P King of Infomercials

  54. BlueChameleon on July 1st, 2009 9:46 pm

    In a more less tasteful tribute, the Garry's Mod community ran a screenshot competition to mourn his death.

    Urgh…

  55. Leo058 on July 1st, 2009 10:13 pm

    *Throws stones*
    >:(

  56. jjenjr on July 1st, 2009 10:15 pm

    *raises hand* He was the only guy on a commercial who ever made me go "man i gotta have some of that shit"

  57. Aryc on July 1st, 2009 10:33 pm

    this wouldve been funnier if the guy who died was an asshole or *cough MICHAEL JACKSON cough* a child molester. but no. Billy Mays was cool. and this is just mean and terrible

  58. Dave on July 1st, 2009 10:37 pm

    Terrible Photoshop and lack of a JOKE.

  59. KingofRetards on July 1st, 2009 10:44 pm

    r u srys?

  60. thatdude on July 1st, 2009 10:47 pm

    I actually agree with you, people who don't know the guy shouldn't get all but hurt about people making jokes if the dude dies. Sure if you actually knew him fine. In that case it was a bad joke. The rest of you who just think he was good at selling stuff go cry somewhere else. It's a good joke, just wish they woulda used a red spy. 4/5

  61. Badonk on July 1st, 2009 8:57 pm

    Actually i do know him, hell i work for the company that does the editing for Billy and his partner Sully's Commercials, dont assume shit asshole.
    im going to his funeral too…

  62. billy on July 2nd, 2009 1:23 am

    *Raises hand*

    Im cool now

  63. Exploderizer on July 2nd, 2009 1:34 am

    AWESOME KITTEH TO THE RESKYOO!

  64. Cheat2Win on July 2nd, 2009 1:55 am

    Billy Mays was credit to team. :(

  65. <3 Billy Mays on July 2nd, 2009 2:09 am

    erm…
    I don't get it…

  66. DBM on July 2nd, 2009 2:20 am

    This joke sucks. There's no punch line. And what the hell did the Kaboom video tip him off to? Ditch the caption and photoshop Vince's face on the spy and you'd be good.

  67. KingofRetards on July 2nd, 2009 2:54 am

    :D

  68. Someguy on July 2nd, 2009 5:01 am

    ice cold

  69. MrRaccoon on July 2nd, 2009 5:50 am

    It's not my fault not being american, is it?

  70. /b/LU Pyro on July 2nd, 2009 3:43 pm

    Y'know what's a good tribute to him? The fact that last night Discovery channel had a marathon of a reality show called Pitchmen that starred Billy Mays. On the bottom of the screen by the Discovery Channel logo was a pic of Billy with the whole year of birth – year of death thing. It was cool.

  71. Leo058 on July 2nd, 2009 3:51 pm

    …You stole that from Philip DeFranco, didn't you?

  72. Leo058 on July 2nd, 2009 3:51 pm

    Nah, but I thought Billy Mays was a little more universal.

  73. mckillyoface on July 3rd, 2009 1:22 am

    You're a foreigner, therefor American policy dictates we blame you.

  74. MrRaccoon on July 3rd, 2009 1:55 am

    awwwww maaaaaan D=>

  75. Rosin on July 3rd, 2009 6:54 am

    I knew your shame. Until I moved to the 'States, that is. Ah, 'tis great to be an accepted immigrant.

  76. mckillyoface on July 3rd, 2009 7:11 am

    Just say terrorists are bad, and you're coo.

  77. Arsenal iv on July 4th, 2009 1:55 am

    This is really bad. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Way to respect the dead buddy.

  78. BurnoutSpartan on July 4th, 2009 8:42 pm

    :D x1000

  79. Corenator on July 6th, 2009 5:09 pm

    *Raises hand*

    I grew up with his infomercials, and I can honestly say that he made me wonder what was next; not for the products, but for his advertising. He was a man who knew how to make people laugh without being a comedian, and he will be greatly missed.

    Rock on at the broadcast center in the sky, Mr. Mays.
