Our ol' pal Vince, the ShamWow pitch man, is back... this time, with a nifty new chopper called the Slap Chop-- plus a whole new shtick that's all but dripping with double entendre.And the new tag line?? Wait for it...
Seriously! That's how the ad starts. And all the while Vince demos the amazing abilities of this little kitchen gizmo, I think to myself, "He's messing with us. That Vince is a dirty rapscallion. He doesn't think we're listening closely enough to catch the innuendo..." Here are a few of his best lines...
- "If I can do it with one finger, you guys can do it with your whole hand... "
- "One chop, you add the pickle..."
- "You're gonna love my nuts..."
- "The reason you're gonna slap away everyday is because it's so easy to clean..." (I have to wonder, is clean-up easier with a ShamWow???)
- "You can do everything in the cover, alright..."
- "Guys, we're gonna make America skinny again, one slap at a time..."
- "Tacos, fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini..."
And the best part?? Vince throws the rinky-dink wannabe Slap Chop into the sink behind him... Over his shoulder. Without. Missing. A. Beat. It is priceless!
So what do you think: Is Vince for real? Is all this filthy talk mere coincidence or is he a total perv? Will he parlay his raw huckster talent into a whole career of as-seen-on-tv products, just like Billy Mays? I still have to say that Vince is infinitely more entertaining than Billy... And after seeing this commercial for the first time, I am literally wiping the tears! Oh and PS, Vince-- it's not from your onions. Because like you state in the ad, "Life's hard as it is... you don't wanna cry anymore". But I know I will... next time they air this spot!
