[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SltsgYuSHrw]YouTube - Shoe Dini commercial[/ame]


I just saw this on CNBC, and my only reactions: :confused: :banana_sml:
 


Saw this a few days ago. It makes sense, he's got a pretty distinct voice that grabs your attention. Unfortunately (for them), it doesn't make me want to buy an overpriced shoehorn.
 
I was waiting for the joke... there wasn't one. I was hoping it was going to build to some funny at the end there, but it didn't.

I always feel a little sad when stars I once liked do stuff like this. I get the sense that they are so desperate for cash, they will whore themselves out. Kinda like Ben Stein doing those terrible, low budget credit report commercials.

Also, his voices is like pepper spray for the ears and really doesn't inspire me to buy anything.
 
I was waiting for the punchline.

No, I don't think he's the next Billy Mays. I doubt that commercial gets much more air time, and I don't think the "ShoeDini" is ever going to turn a profit.

That was just sad.

Have to wonder if he's doing it for fun though. I don't think he's broke
