A Spoonful of Billy Mays Overdubs Makes the Medicine go Down

Now, normally I agree with the folks over at Videogum about pretty much everything they post. (Speaking of which, if you have never been to that site you need to go there now.) Today they posted an overdubbed video of Billy Mays selling Mighty Putty, that stuff that was used in the filming of Gumby. That video is available here.

Here's where the disagreement part comes in, though: it turns out that the person that posted this latest video has done a whole series of dubs of Billy Mays other products. Now, feel free to disagree with me, but I think that this Kaboom commercial really brings out the lulz a lot more than the Mighty Putty commercial. Oh, and just to be clear, this is definitely funny enough to qualify for the More-Famous Friday video, but it has been viewed way too many times. Enjoy it anyways, although I think things made all the way back in September of 2008 were all in black and white without any sound. At least that's how I remember it.

Oh yeah, and Kaboom might actually work, whereas the clay crap was shown to be total crap by my local news team. Oops, it's all over YouTube working fabulously. You be the decider (now that Dubya is no longer President).
