He has got such a BIG mouth!!! But his products really work.

On a scale of 1-10, I would rate his annoying-ness as about... Oh, let's say 14.8.

Ugh- so annoying. I can't turn on the TV at night without hearing one of his commericals. Just the sound of his voice annoys me.

O-M-G!!! Why is it that some advertisers think that shouting at people will make them more likely to buy the product? Every time I see one that he advertises on the shelf, I hear that voice in my head. If I hadn't already tried it and liked it, I probably wouldn't buy it. He is THAT annoying.

I honestly do not believe that there is anyone more annoying on television than Billy Mays. He must be the reason that the mute button was invented. I can hear his high pitched voice from accross my house and I want to pull my hair out!!! Get off the air Billy Mays and give us some t.v. watching peace!!

His voice sounds like a twelve year old choir boy...whose testicles have not yet descended.

He is the worst! Every time I hear his voice I literally run to the tv, no matter where in the house I am, and mute it immediately. Just hearing it for a few seconds is enough to make me cringe in horror. Yuck, yuck, yuck!!!!!!!! I will never buy any product that he advertises, for fear that I would think of him any time that I used it!

ANNOYING? WHY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IS IT THE FACT THAT HE TALKS AS IF TYPING IN CAPS ALL DAY LONG, THEN ENDS WITH A BIG GOOFY SMILE WITH SHINY WHITE TEEF?

I think the hair dye has affected his brain...

Less than those who hire him Robert

Sir, i am so glad you asked this question. You are not alone. where is the mute button? He needs voice lessons and a shave. He sounds like a girl. I do wish i had his money, though.

Phillis, sir, I too am glad you asked this question. The man is a menace to society and that goes for his facial hair too!!

Just like nails on a chalkboard. That fucking voice just cuts through you. I mean me.

I can't stand him and I wouldn't buy anything from him..I wouldn't take it for free. His voice is 6 octives higher than a normal human. Im surprised dogs don't howl in pain.

Almost enough to believe in capital punishment.

I just Googled Billy Mays and annoying voice. I found this site. I now know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. I can't wait to show my wife everyone's comments here. Hats off to everyone here that confirmed my fears. Billy Mays must be deaf or the people who hire him to hack their product. I do feel sorry for him because I can just see he and his wife sitting around late at night and as he walks out of the TV room one of his commercials comes on and his wife crashes toward the remote to hit the mute button. Then picture Billy in the kitchen with a confused look on his face as he hears the beginning of his commercial then the sound goes mute. He then wonders why that ALWAYS HAPPENS to his commercials when he's not in same room with whoever else happens to be near the remote. sorry about the long post. just had to vent. thanks. will reed

Would you rather sit through his commercial or have Richard Simmons, Fran Drescher, or Gilbert Gottfried as they pitch their products?

HE'S PRETTY FREAKIN' ANNOYING!!

I just can't figure out why he is unable to speak in a natural voice. And go figure, he keeps being the spokesperson for more and more products!!

He's BEYOND annoying!!! Further, the stuff this fat phony screams about on TV is CRAP! After having been a big enough sucker to buy one of the products he's advertised, I'll never make that mistake again. For a while, Fatso was selling a kitchen slicer that's an extremely cheap Chinese knockoff of the high quality German-made Boerner V-Slicer. This thing had a pair of legs on it that were supposed to support one end of the device. When used precisely according to the instructions, these legs would immediately fold up underneath the device as soon as you tried to slice something. This made it all too easy to slice one's fingers off...that is, if the cheap blades had actually been sharp enough to slice vegetables. The device was immediately returned, and since it was purchased to a small local "As Seen On TV" store, I got a full refund. You don't get that if you buy the junk he sells by calling the toll-free number you see on TV, since the seller keeps the bloated shipping and handling charges (which are what really pay for the item, so even if you send it back, the seller still makes money on the deal). Save yourself a lot of time, money and aggravation, not to mention possible injury. DON'T BUY ANYTHING HE'S SELLING!! I can't wait until the lawsuits start rolling in over injuries caused by that cheesy "Awful Auger" thing he's hawking at the moment.

I think he is OK, I don't find him annoying.

YES, esp. when he talks with his hands, which is almost all the time...

I wonder if he's hard of hearing or if he's over-caffeinated. How can anyone be that damn excited over everything? Whenever he comes on, I want to change the channel!

So annoying that I push the mute button when I sense one of his commercials coming on to the TV.

I googled Billy Mays bigmouth high voice just after I muted him on TV and I came up with this site. He must not have any balls at all and should be singing soprano in a boys choir. He is one annoying S.O.B. for shure! Obnoxious

I am with the majority here, his voice is so agrivating that I Imediately look for the remote to mute his big loud mouth out. I also get imediately set in a bad mood and start cussing under my breath and as far as I am concerned, I will never in a million years buy anything he tries selling!!!!!!

there is one product that i could find a good use for. it's called Mighty Mend. it's supposed to fix rips in clothes and stuff. i could use it on his lips.

Disgusting! Run for the remote and mute.

Loud, talk about LOUD!!!! Oh Oh, I already posted an answer, oopps:(

I wish his Oxy-Clean would make HIM disappear. KABOOM!

Mr Mays is about as annoying as the Sham-Wow guy! They both very annoying!

OMG those are the most annoying commercials!!!

SO annoying. But I think he should marry Rachael Ray. THEY BOTH YELL ALL THE TIME AND I THINK THEY WOULD MAKE AN AWESOME COUPLE EVEN THOUGH I'M PRETTY SURE THEY ARE BOTH MARRIED. You know?

He's less annoying than Rosie O'Donnell, more annoying than Rush Limbaugh.

I am so glad to have the opportunity to voice my opinion of "BILLY MAYS WITH OXY CLEAN!!!!!" *font = 10,000 <bold> <caps>* Billy Mays voice makes my ears bleed. It's torturous. Horrid... just HORRID! Why is he always yelling? If it's intended to be enthusiasm it's rupturing my eardrums even when the volume is low. "HI, I'M BILLY MAYS HERE WITH OXY CLEAN!!!!!!!!!" Elvis would've shot Billy Mays through the TV and I'd love to do the same had I the money to replace the screen. His voice is so loud, shrill and annoying I am repelled enough to boycott any product he sells and for the life of me, cannot understand why any advertiser would hire him. If he were interviewing in front of me I'd throw the heaviest thing in the room at him before his second syllable just to put the guy out of his misery, save my ears and mental well-being. By the sound of his voice he's already been strangled, shot in the throat and hung but somehow survived to torture us. "HI, I'M ANON HERE TO BILLY MAYS!!!!! FIND A DIFFERENT CAREER A******!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Exceptionally annoying enough to make a good living from it.

I wish I knew his commercials names so I could write to the products company but I change channels so fast when he comes on that I don't know the answer. Many times I never return to what I was watching as I become interested in the program I have flipped to. I guess he does help others stations gain viewers.

scale of 1 (notannoying) to 10 (driving one to suicide) 13 (suicide then destroying all tvs in sight.

As of this morning, he's much easier to take.

Not as bad as the shamwow guy....but I just change the channel anyway!

He isn't......anymore. He's dead, as of today. +6

Annoying was part of the 'pitch' yo...

He's not, anymore.

wow, this question was asked on my b-day. i would never day that about billy mays. he was hysterical! i loved that show and you could always tell he worked his ass off. the infomercial world will miss him. :) and you know what? so will the rest of the world.

Wow, I feel pretty bad about writing before about how annoying Billy is...may he rest in peace. (I guess this will teach me not to be so judgmental...from everything I've read he was a wonderful father, husband, and friend, and that's what really counts....)

R.I.P. The greatest Pitchmen who ever lived!

Much less, suddenly.

ur the one that killed him, u jinxed him u bastard

He's not (anymore) yo...
