[Cpt. Overkill]

RIP Billy :(

[Cpt. Overkill]

Pfft, beat me to it.

It's all your fault!

[moose39]

Damn.

[Buffdog18]

Wow

[kiggidykev]

I don't really know who Billy Mays was, but this is sad news.

This is a bad week for celebrities.

[Masquerade]

Is dying the new fad, or something?

[Lady Siara]

Will it ever end?!?

[Masquerade]

Will it ever end?!?

We're all next :eek:

[maddoggnick96]

I haven't been this sad since the time Michael Jackson died. :(

[NormanCoxwell]

^me neither!

If Mick Jagger dies I'm commiting suicide.

[moose39]

Like 'em or not, this deserves to be in this thread

I'll never be able to watch an Oxy-clean commercial again. Holy crap, this really sucks.

Man, this has been a crappy week.

[TheMitch21]

Because God uses ShamWOW more than he does OxyClean

[Banky71]

Wow. Just wow.

[NormanCoxwell]

My guess on how he died, too much oxy-clean.

[Cpt. Overkill]

Because God uses ShamWOW more than he does OxyClean

My friends and I once joked last year that Vince would kill Billy Mays to get in the spotlight.

[Lady Siara]

RIP Billay. ;_;

[Buffdog18]

He OD on OxyClean!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

[BBBD]

four celebs (if this is confirmed)

wow.:eek:

Don't forget David Carradine.

[HauntingYourKids]

I'm surprised with all the YouTube videos here, no one's put up the video that undoubtedly made him a Rock Band phenomenon. Billy Mays FCing "Visions" just by pitching at it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqdZ4t1cft4) It's a vocals thing, but still damn funny.

We miss you already, Billy!

[Ziiggy Stardust]

R.I.P. Greatest pitchman! :(

[Cpt. Overkill]

Another thread on this, bro.

[Ziiggy Stardust]

yeah he beat me by a couple minutes too!

[C-Weiner]

Wasn't he just on Conan, or Jimmy Fallon last week?

[Masquerade]

yeah he beat me by a couple minutes too!

Another beat you by an hour or so :p

[RockBandRocker]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Who will FC "Visions" now?


Two kings are dead, long live the kings!

[Cpt. Overkill]

Two kings are dead, long live the kings!

Wait...

Wasn't Bernie Mac part of the Original Kings of Comedy or something?

It all connects! Hurry, find the other kings!

[HiAperture]

Wow that is really sad. I have always found his commercials funny and his recent show on discovery pitchmen was pretty good. Really was a nice down to earth guy with a good attitude.

[RockBandRocker]

Wait...

Wait -

Bernie Mac = King of Comedy

Johnny Carson = King of Late-Night

Who is the next king to leave?

[Meatwad555]

Everybody should play Visions in honor of Billy Mays.

[Cubecubed]

sigh.....why are all the cool people dying?

http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=39914

a cool video involving him.

[SonicRocker15X]

What??? He seemed in perfect health. Why couldn't it have been shamwow?

Because Vince is too busy in prison for beating up that prostitute.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

this is a really ****ed up week

[C-Weiner]

wasnt he on conan last week?

[Soja]

I heard it, and then I was like, "Bah, this is a hoax, just like with Jeff Goldblum."

Then I did some cross-examining and sadfaced because it wasn't a hoax. :(

Bernie Mac = King of Comedy

Who is the next king to leave?The true king of rock chuck berry at the old age of 82.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Crazy to think about. Too many people are dying.

R.I.P. Billy.

Yet again, 50 is too young to die.

Michael Jackson Was 50 when he died.
Billy Mays was 50 when he died.

[RockBandRocker]

The true king of rock chuck berry at the old age of 82.

DON'T EVEN THINK THAT!

We can't lose Chuck!

I am still saddened by all this stuff. :(

RIP BIlly.

[oogabooha]

Another one bites the dust...

But seriously, why is this stuff happening all in the same week? God, what did we do?!?

[Soratar]

This is really sad. There have been so many celebrity deaths this week. And the fact that burn cakes posted above is disturbing. 3 deaths of men at the age of 50.
Its the end of the world as we know it... and I feel fine.

Will all these people stop dying. Michael Jackson was the biggest loss, but now Billy Mays! I remember I saw him on the Tonight Show a couple days ago.

End of the World by REM DLC confirmed!Fact Rem Bassit is 50. We must warn him.

[ThrobingCane]

Wow, I whos next?

[kingtonyx]

[MdrnDayWarrior]

This really sucks. Billy Mays dying comes from out of nowhere, other people that have died recently you could see they wouldn't make it very long, but Mays is completely different.

I declare June 28th ALL CAPS DAY in honor of Billy Mays. :(

[Jdurgit]

This is just........... wow. I can't believe this. This has been a HORRIBLE week for the entertainment industry. At least with Farrah Fawcet, that was expected. MJ and BM were completely out of the blue and nobody would have expected it. I'm saddened, yet scared at the same time because at no point in my life have I EVER felt this mortal. God. I bet Patrick Swayze is sitting at home singing Pearl Jam's "Alive" over and over again. :(

I second the ALL CAPS MOVEMENT. :( Billy was one of the biggest inspirations for projecting when I acted or trying to get my point across.

[Banky71]

Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air.

Billys last tweet.

[Jdurgit]

HI!!! JDURGIT HERE!!!!


You almost wonder if he had some type of undetected blood clot in his heart or brain that got jostled loose from the plane landing, and the clot just moved to the worst possible area. :(

[Banky71]

He was also supposed to have his third hip replacement on Monday.

So lots of royalty going down lately.

Holy crap, this sucks! So many celebs dropping like flies lately. David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and now Billy flippin' Mays. Am I forgetting anyone?

[iamtheddrman]

This is a terrible week to be famous. Billy Mays was the greatest pitchman of all time, bar none, and now he's gone. Pitchmen was a fantastic show on Discovery, but now it's going to be pulled. I mean really, who can replace Billy Mays? :(

[Eric4372]

This is really sad, he seemed like a very likable guy whom no one can hate. Such a surprise to everyone. I pray for the families of these dead celebrities...so many shockers lately.

[Tego1in]

I just created a Billy Mays char in RB...
Man I miss him and all the awesome YTP he was in.

I am honestly devestated by this. This is the most depressing week in history.

[Lily_Mu]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He will be remembered for his Visions FC.

Man this week is screwed up... R.I.P. Billy!

Also as a NASCAR fan, I must fear for the former driver which is nicknamed "The King"; Richard Petty. Run while there's still time!

You miles well say goodbye now.
Was miles like a racing joke or just a misspell? If a joke, not bad...

I don't mind much for him, he's a cheap old jerk that has only won because he had way better equipment at the time and has turned his racing team into a joke and had to sell out. Besides, I was an Earnhardt fan, not Petty. :P

[Banky71]

I am honestly devestated by this. This is the most depressing week in history.

I think you need to study history more.

Damn...celebrities got hit hard this week...I think the new life expectancy for them is 50...:(

I think you need to study history more.

modern history. Is that better?

146,000 every single day. 1,022,000 every week. It's sad when public figures die and even interesting but it's no more tragic than any other death in the world.

It depends on the way they die. The human race shows more or less sympathy depending on the circumstance.

Here is a clip from his appearance on Conan this week. (http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/clips/billy-mays-and-anthony-sullivan-062309/1129166/)

[bootz0rs]

Who is next jeez.

[Tank9088]

NO!!! I loved the ESPN 360 commercial he did. :(

[BuRn7 CaK3]

This was the first thing i found out when i woke up. What a tragedy.

Wake up on a Sunday afternoon to find out that Billy Mays is dead.

[Soja]

Billy Mays was just moving up from infomercials, too. He recently did that Pitchman show and ugh.

Cut just before the prime of his career. I feel sick.

RIP Billy Mays. :(

[Billy-93]

If its true thats 5 I think

Whos died this June ?

Sucks to be a celeb or famous now

[nashphx13z]

I told my mom about this, and she asked me who Billy Mays was.

I facepalmed and walked away.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

she obviously doesn't watch TV then.

[Tank9088]

she obviously doesn't watch TV then.

Yeah,my dad knew right away.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Yeah,my dad knew right away.

My parents probably wouldn't know. My dad doesn't watch MUCH TV, I mean he does, but when i've seen him watch it, i've never seen a Billy commercial on.

I wouldn't know about my mom since i don't see her at all.

[Billy-93]

Has it been confirmed 100% now?

[HeavyHorse]

Unbelievable... The king of products, swept away, just like that.

:(

[Bulkdarthdan]

Has it been confirmed 100% now?

Yes, sadly. :(

[DeadPhoenix223]

seriously? when did Billy die??? what happened to the world over the weekend???

She watches a TON of TV, it's just that she watches it all late...on TiVo! :p

[BuRn7 CaK3]

What the hell? Who's next, Bob Barker? :(

An 85 year old man will die soon enough. I'm not bashing bob, i mean he fought Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore, possibly the best fight ever. But he's old. I believe older than a normal man will live.

Doesn't the average male live to be 82 or is it 87?? I know it's in the 80's.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Actually, the average life span for an American these days is in the upper 70s. It's also a little shorter for men than women (by 3 or 4 years) so Bobby is on borrowed time.

Whatever.

The best line in that movie!

pfft... I always thought the life expectancy of an American man was in the high 60's, low 70's...

[bmaninc]

pfft... I always thought the life expectancy of an American man was in the high 60's, low 70's...

Move to Canada, its over 80!

[tridentgum0]

In all, I'm not too bothered by this one. Obnoxious infomercials were obnoxious.

[iananderson]

I would watch his infomercials all day. They were my favorite commercials.

[gmarsh]

this truly is a sad day for society. I teared up a little bit...
Michael and Billy die both at 50..wow.

I guess were gunna have to stick with the classic commercials.

[KampfVerein]

<muffledshouting>HI THERE BILLY MAYS HERE FOR SILENT SLUMBER BRAND COFFINS</muffledshouting>

[kitlerc]

Such a shame... I blame Vince.

Such a shame... I blame Vince.

So Do I!

Such A classic... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNv2oiWdRU)

So Do I!

Such A classic... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NNv2oiWdRU)

He was just becoming a real star with the show Pitchmen.

[mraiya]

I don't know what to say, but this sucks.

[acondon747]

Ed Mcmahon, Farah, Michael, Billy... who's next?

This is the first time I've ever seen 4 celebs in under a week.

I love Billy and Sully on Pitchmen and I thought that show would flop but I really enjoy that show, this is just aweful that another icon of the 90s is gone, who can forget Oxi-clean and his upbeat attitude about everything. If you never seen Pitchmen I suggest you watch the episodes they got, it's really a inside look as to what goes on behind the scenes and see what Billy really was like.

Another sad day, another life cut short. Sorry if I spelt the names wrong I just typed this really fast.

[kitlerc]

Ed McMahon, Farah, Michael, Billy... who's next?

This is the first time I've ever seen 4 celebs in under a week.

this is just aweful that another icon of the 90s is gone

This is odd... You look at those names, and each of those people made it big in succeeding decades, McMahon (60s), Farrah (70's), Jackson (80's, though this can be debatable), and Billy Mays (90s)

Does this mean someone else will die that hit it big in 2000's? My guess would be Johnny Knoxville

[jasonrosenbaum]

Who will FC Visions??

[SonicRocker15X]

Who will FC Visions??

Rick Astley? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz5KtKXafPU)

[dweber77]

Why couldn't it have been the shamwow guy instead?

[SonicRocker15X]

Why couldn't it have been the shamwow guy instead?

Because Vince is too busy counting away his days in jail for beating up that prostitute.

[Tego1in]

Worst Week Ever.

[noobert]

what a crappy week...poor mays...rip

[RedBaron45]

Rick Astley? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz5KtKXafPU)

But who will FC life?

[General Lein979]

I've thought of the motive... God is going to advertise a new earth because he's going to kill this one in 2012 and he needs billy mays to advertise it. Genius.

[zerofan]

four celebs (if this is confirmed)

wow.:eek:

Farrah, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon?

[Felldoh_The_Squirrel]

Man, Billy Mays was amaysing....

I made a tribute band for some of the 2 greatest guys on Earth

http://www.rockband.com/img/3536936/422

[xXNinJa]

Terrible news. I loved that guy.
RIP Billy Mays.
:(

Thank God its Sunday, because as others have said, this has been a crappy week.

[acondon747]

That is odd that each decade died this week, who is next for 00's?

Sad week.

[Abeotroid]

Someone's targetting celebrities.

[TheRedneck38]

RIP Dude...seriously will be missed

[Stewie]

Do they know he died yet?

[ParkerandtheDogs]

Now I want to hold an oxy clean and say Hey Billy Mays here with the awesome Oxy Clean!

[iamtheddrman]

Do they know he died yet?
The autopsy results will be in tomorrow afternoon at the earliest.

[Stewie]

I'm betting heart attack

[tridentgum0]

I'm betting Vince.

[kitlerc]

I'm betting heart attack

Actually, he hit his head just the day before. If the impact was hard enough it could have caused internal bleeding causing the blood to press his brain against his skull, killing him hours after the impact happened.

Okay heart attack or internal bleeding caused by an accident

[pacifistWITHgun]

I'm actually saddened more by this loss than that of Micheal Jackson.

GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE; YOU WILL BE MISSED

****. You're back?

[FloodOne]

****. You're back?

yea he's back... and I can't take him anymore, so now all I see is his name, not his posts.

Him and Tung are equals in my eyes.

[ArchangelZero]

Geez, what's with the recent trolling?

[ParkerandtheDogs]

Damn...celebrities got hit hard this week...I think the new life expectancy for them is 50...:(
Hmm... thats' true. Madonna is 50. I hope she announces a tour soon.

[ArchangelZero]

She better stay alive...we don't need more dead...:(

[ParkerandtheDogs]

wtf i thought you ignored me
I forgot I was in an infraction. I don't wanna talk about it.

[sperine]

Reading Billy's son's Twitter is sad as all hell.

Twitter is going to start making surprise deaths incredibly eerie. Mr. Mays's last tweet was about his rough plane landing. All seemed well, but they are speculating that his death had something to do with the rough nature of the plane's problematic landing.

Anyway, definitely more sad about this than any other death this week. Hopefully we don't see anyone else good go anytime soon.

I started following him and left him a nice reply. he says he reads all of them and he appreciates them. so if you have a twitter,that would be a nice thing to do.

Wow, that was really sad.

I changed my Xbox Avatar from Chuck Norris to Billy Mays today, so that says something.

I just saw one of Billy's OrangeGlo ads just now...

I couldn't help it. I broke down and shed a few tears. :(

[Mega-Tallica]

Michael Jackson now Billy Mays? When will the misery end?

[trueguitarist88]

Vince is too busy beating up hookers.

[Bub]

I think the end is near. Michael Jackson and Billy Mays die on the same weekend. *Heads for fallout shelter*

[Soja]

The autopsy results say complications from hypertensive cardiac disease. :\

[tridentgum0]

In that case, Vince was too busy beating up a hooker. Best. Alibi. Ever.

Watching the Pitchmen marathon myself. Such an incredible personality... It's hard to believe he's gone. Cracked up remembering his appearance on Leno doing the Shakespeare bit, but I had no idea how much it had meant to him at the time. Apparently that was his first appearance as a guest on a show like that.

Yeah that was a col episode. It's so sad that just as he was bursting onto the scene as a REAL celebrity, his life was cut short. His future was so bright, and his daughter is so young :(

[Meatwad555]

It turns out that Billy Mays had a really bad heart disease. He died from a major heart attack.
