Infomercial king, Billy Mays, was found dead this morning after apparently passing away in his sleep. He was 50 years old.

The death was very sudden especially since Billy Mays seemed incredibly lively and healthy on Tuesday when he appeared on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

Billy Mays’ son (also named Billy Mays) tweeted about his dad’s death this morning after discovering that he would not wake up (see screengrab below).

Here’s one of the OxiClean infomercials that Billy Mays was famous for.

The same guy who did the ShamWow infomercial can be seen here advertising the Slap Chop, a device that easily chops EVERYTHING YOU WANT with little effort.

Stop having a boring tuna. Stop having a boring life. Get the Slap Chop now!

Facial Flex on QVC shopping network

Here is the ultimate gift for inducing times of awkwardness, or for that “friend” that you actually hate. It’s the Facial Flex, sold at some point in time through QVC shopping channel. The Facial Flex is a small contraption that you put into your mouth to exercise the muscles in your face, neck, and chest.

The device is basically a mini thigh master for your mouth. Yeah, that’s right. A THIGH MASTER FOR YOUR MOUTH. Some genius decided to shrink the proper thigh master and put it into hundreds of mouths nationwide.

Peep the video below to see how it all works.

“Now, if your New Year resolutions include working out, why aren’t you working out your face? Why aren’t you working out your face? WHY AREN’T YOU WORKING OUT YOUR FACE?!”

DO NOT WANT.
