if you want that hoodie that I'm wearing at the end go to www.shopburback.com/

Wendy’s making fun of people who are “behind the times” in an ad where they unironically use top and bottom Impact text memes is peak irony

the shamwow guy is a legend in spanish speaking countries because the shamwow and slap chop commercials were also made in spanish but they didnt like get a spanish actor, it was the god damn dude just trying to speak the most broken spanish you can imagine and even spanish speakers could barely understand it, it is funny as hell

So, as it turns out, the Mighty Putty DID actually work as advertised. That shit could pull tens of thousands of pounds of weight when left to dry for 24 hours, honestly miracle work

fun fact! I knew the guy who did the Doritos time machine ad, and that wound up being his "big break" into the film industry! he has since passed, unfortunately, but its nice to see people still remember his Doritos ad.

I never liked Shamwow guy because his voice had the cadence of a street magician

Chef boyordees motto shouldve been “boyaredeez good”

You aren't alone in how comfortable that Chef Boyardee commercial is. It's such a wholesome commercial!

Look, I know this is years later but I finally got that JG Wentworth song out of my head and NOW IT'S BACK! EDDY YOU'RE A MONSTER! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME!?

I wish he hadn’t cut the footage, I’d have loved an hour of Eddy drunkenly ranting about commercials from my childhood

eddy you're looking more and more like a history professor who has recently gone through a terrible divorce and is on the brink of being fired every day

The Free Credit Report songs were so catchy. I remember being in middle school at their height and on a field trip for some reason the whole bus started singing one of the songs, like absolutely belting a commercial song meant for a demographic we didn’t belong to. Iconic lmao

When Eddy went to take a drink after the sham-wow commercial, my instinct was to yell “Eddy no that’s the carpet cola!”

what annoys me about the wendy’s ad is that they have “the meme-er” or whatever who is supposed to be current with internet humor but is wayy stale and then they have “the behind -the-timer” who is saying supposedly old jokes/phrases but they basically are the same person. it just lacks self-awareness

I begged my mom for a shamwow for Christmas when I was a kid and the second I opened it on christmas day, I ran to the kitchen so I could dump out an entire liter of soda onto the floor to test it. Sadly, the shamwow did not work and I just had a bunch of soda on the floor on Christmas day

I loved JG Wentworth commercials. They were catchy, memorable, and funny. Commercials were a giant part of millennial and Gen X life. They were just as important as the shows and movies that came out back then. 🥰 I think you're considered an older Gen Z, just based on your age. You're seriously only 23? You are so young, lol.

I studied opera, and my friends and I absolutely love the JG Wentworth ads. We always sing along lol

Eddy you’re gonna talk about Billy Mays and NOT mention OxiClean?!

When Eddie and Gus morph together they become Ron Swanson

"Its so great that it's February 1st of 2020 because nothing will ever go wrong" - Eddy Burback

My childhood nostalgic commercial is the Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup commercial when the snowman walks inside the house, a mom hands him a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and as he eats it all the snow melts and it’s now just a little boy. I was born in 1990 and it was very big when I was a kid 😂

Eddie: Is hurt by people thinking he’s 35. Also Eddie: Has an 35 year old dad mustache.

I genuinely believe that Billy Mays and Phil Swift were separated at birth.

The education connection commercials were insanely catchy

I'm shocked that you talked about Billy Mays without bringing up Oxiclean! I knew him as the oxiclean guy growing up

Drunk Eddy has homoerotic thoughts about the late Billy Mays, pass it on

I’ve never had a straighter face than when I was watching that Wendy’s ad. So aggressively unfunny.

You know you really need to go to bed already when it's 3:25 AM and the nostalgia from a canned ravioli commercial makes you tear up because it reminds you of life when you were happy still

I like about 4 hours away from my family because of college and every few months my brother will text me a line from JGWentworth and we’ll just text the lines back and forth to check up on me. This commercial is literally the glue holding my family together hours apart😭

When I was little I had a crippling fear of Billy Mays and had almost nightly nightmares about him where he came and yelled at me.

*When I was little, I stole a ravioli can from Publix, and when I got home and my mom asked about it, I told her that it rolled off the shelf and followed us home...*

Those JG Wentworth ads were so needlessly catchy that I definitely had it stuck in my head... like yeah if I ever need that I'll call em cuz damn... The O'Reilly Auto Parts ad lives rent-free in my head, too. I remember going to school and you'd occasionally have a group break out singing the jingle. Like if you can get a group of middle schoolers to unite under this one advertisement then you've made a great ad

space bags do work really well actually and it’s the only way i transport clothes while moving now! the brand doesn’t matter that much though, they’re just vacuum seal bags so you can get them pretty much anywhere!

it took me a while to realize the thumbnail is an old spice ad of a guy's abs and not a talking piece of melted chocolate

“Why don’t you have a drink with me?” Welp, guess it’s time for a beer at 6 AM.

Bro i feel your pain. Everyone says i look like im 40 and they are always shocked when i tell them im 24. Like bro that was flattering when i was 13, it just hurts now

The Chef Boyardee commercial took me back to when I was a kid. I got such warm fuzzies in my stomach! Thanks Eddy for unlocking my old memories.

I was so worried that Microsoft killed Eddie.

Ed ‘Hot Man’ Burback is my hero.

putting the JG Wentworth song back in my head was cruel, but reawakening my memory of that chef boyardee commercial completely makes up for it, just a lovely wave of nostalgia

That mighty putty commercial set me back about 15 years 🤣🤣

idk why but eddy is such a comforting sight right now

does anyone remember when we all went on youtube to look like “top 10 banned commercials” and it was like that sexual skittle one

"New Old Spice bar soap: Never leave your house again." The self-awareness is pretty on-point with that one.

oh my god. that chef boyardee ad ... i legit cried when it came on- it's been so long since i've seen it, and i think the nostalgia was just so nice and comforting 😭

As soon as you said “Billy Mays” I vividly remembered the power of OxiClean

No one gonna talk about how he didn’t even mention what billy mayz is most known for? Oxy Clean

Mighty putty is so strong it kept my parents together for another 3 years

He rings out the shamwow so aggressively it’s kinda threatening

The JG Wentworth one makes me feel like my parents are gonna be shot in front of an opera house

quote from my younger brother in 2009: “all the good people are dying.... our uncle Charlie, Michael jackson, and now billy mays.”

The shamwow towel was actually sick. I still use similar products for window washing and car detailing

Old Spice really is the last time I can remember a "major brand" really convincing me with just an ad. It was the one with Bruce Campbell JUST before these where he just walked around a rotating room in a smoking jacket talking about "If you have it, you know it. You don't have it, you want it" and it went for 30 seconds and it was perfect. I love that they just leaned into "cool, weird ads" and it worked for them, I know I shouldn't love a brand, but in this ONE CASE I do.

if Randall from monster’s inc was a person, he would be the shamwow guy

“If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the JG Wen-“ *_NO PLEASE, NO. NO. NOOOOOOOO_*

I'm so glad that its February 1st 2020 and nothing will ever go wrong

I love the Credit Report commercial jams. They simply rock.

I cannot believe you talked about billy Mays and didn’t even mention kaboom or oxy clean

Fun fact: Shamwow guy, Vince, actually has a criminal record. Look him up.

14:25 I literally got the chills right tthen wtf i am actually freaked out man

17:31 if it were me when i was a kid i would have gotten beat with a belt bc my dad would have thought that i stole it.

Gettin drunk in a Bears sweatshirt while talkin' about commercials is some real midwest energy.

That little girl saying: 'But I love chef'. was just so adorable and heart breaking the way she said it.

I love infomercials, and one thing i can say is this, none of the products that billy mays has advertised work, and thats what made hime just a legend in advertising, because anyone can sell something that works, but it takes a master to sell something that doesnt work

I bought the previous iteration of the ShamWOW called a Magi-Cloth from a Meijer grocery. A lady was selling it the same exact way Vince did, but in a more traditional infomercial style. It does work really well and I still have two of them to this day. Don't ever put it in the dryer though as it'll get deformed.

ok listen here Mr. “Hot Man” Burback: i did NOT appreciate the way you posted up at the end of the video. you struck fear into my soul with that power stance. i will never be the same again.

I think the reason why phill swift got so popular was because he filled the hole that Billy Mays left

You buy a product that tells you it’s a sham in its name, then discover "Wow! This IS a sham…" that’s on you.

Your micro will eventually make it into my nightmares.

I’m not of age but I wanted to feel included so I put apple juice in a glass cup

Fun fact: my track team in high school had a frankly alarming obsession with Chef Boyardee to the point that we would call each other “Chef (name)” and gave the seniors cans of Chef Boyardee with little pictures of their faces on them as graduation gifts.

I'm shocked that the chef boyardee can still looks so good after how far it rolled.

Fun fact I used to be deathly afraid of Oxi Clean as a kid because Billie mays would scare me in the commercials. And I was DEATHLY afraid like I wouldn’t go down the cleaning aisle as a 3 year old because I knew oxi clean would be there

My parents bought a Shamwow, and I can confirm that it is just as incredible as advertised. They soak up so much water that they become a couple pounds heavier when at full capacity. We now own like ten of them, and we use them for everything.

I think the thing with Billy Mays was that he sounded so genuinely enthusiastic. Like we have a way of parsing out who is obviously faking it, but he was just excited about everything so it was more like “yeah this guy is great, this must be great”.

The mom grounds the little girl for shoplifting the chef boyardee, she's not gonna believe it walked itself out of the store.

the jg wentworth commercial is a memetic cognito-hazard dude, its been years and its still in my head way more than it should be

You playing the Wendy’s ad in its entirety was uncalled for

I think the thing about meme culture is that memes don't die, they just require more layers of irony to be funny

11:14 “Made in Germany. Y’know the Germans always make good stuff” Hindenburg: Hold my beer 🍺

THE CREDIT REPORT AD JUST GAVE ME FLASHBACKS TO MY CHILDHOOD 😭

There is an impressive mustache filling the void of the quarantine

Fun fact: the sham-wow guy beat up a prostitute for biting his tongue

billy mays WAS a national treasure, nay, a national hero. God rest his soul. He's up there selling stuff to god now

I heard JG Wentworth as a kid long before I could tell you what a structured settlement was and that song is stuck in my head forever. If I ever get some kind of annuity in the future, I'll always know about that service. Scary effective advertising, they didn't need to write another song.

The absolute worst ads are the mobile game ones. Their captions make like no goddamn sense and half the time they don’t even have proper grammar. Also hilarious video, Eddy.

"Nobody spiked their hair." Dude, I've seen pictures of my uncle in the 1970s with spiky punk hair. It comes in phases. By 2050, we'll be spiking hair again.

Billy Mays had the enthusiastic energy of a Daytime TV Host, and always looked so excited and happy. That’s why he seemed so trustworthy. Vince (The Shamwow guy,) always seemed like a tweaking shady guy on the streets of NYC trying to sell me stolen watches. He always looked like he was keeping an eye out for the cops about to arrest him. It was like he drank as much water as he could before filming and REALLY had to pee. One was outgoing and excited, and that would make YOU feel excited. The other came across as rushed and awkward, and that made YOU feel awkward and desperate to get away from him.

all of these commercials were so nostalgic for me BUT THE LAST ONE IS A CORE MEMORY. i love chef too

there’s a campbell’s commercial where this snowman comes into this ladies house and she sets a bowl of soup in front of him and he defrosts into her son and i can’t get it out of my brain

The Free Credit Report Online guys actually got the gig by winning a contest the company held and they thought it would be their springboard into superstardom.

I don't think ive thought about the free credit score commercials since they ran but man I loved them and still knew every word some how 😂

The Old Spice Ad "Look at ur Man" is still one of the best things that's ever happened. I love it so much.

Ok but the JG Wentworth ads with people just yelling out their windows "it's my money and i need it now" were actually pretty good

Billy’s from my city. I just visited his grave a few weeks ago! Sat there and watched the Oxiclean ad with him

I remember in high school we were on a chorus trip at Cedar Point in Ohio, and while we were in lines a decent sized group of us started singing the JG Wentworth ad. Some people started laughing like crazy and others apparently haven’t seen it and were utterly confused. It really makes me wonder where this ad was shown.

My older brother bought shamwows when I was a kid. They worked actually really well, but overtime like any rag they wore out and weren't really effective anymore

it looks like Eddy films in those temporary classrooms that havent been moved at your high school since the 80's that they teach sex ed in and it makes me very uncomfortable

Parents bought an actual sham wow and a shitty Dollar General version. The Dollar General made a better working version.

My friend High School ask for a ShamWow for his birthday. He came to school disappointed that morning, because the first thing he did was he took the kitchen sink hose and sprayed it all over the floor, but it didn't pick most of it up. So he had to resort to... paper towels, and he was heartbroken that he was lied to about his Shamwow.
