Does any one have one of those "slap chops" that the Dead Screamer Dude used to advertise on TV?

Asked by Val123 (12734points) December 25th, 2009

Do they work? They have them at Walgreens, and I’m thinking of getting one for my husband…but they look kinda cheap…?

I thought he died! Like, the same day MJ and Farrah F died…

Pseudonym's avatar

He isn’t dead! And screamer dude? You are probably thinking of Billy Mays. He died earlier this year. That’s the guy with all the facial hair. And @JesusWasAJewbot he isn’t in jail. He never got sentenced.

Val123's avatar

Yes, Billy Mays…didn’t he do the slap chop?

Sarcasm's avatar

Billy Mays is the fat guy with the beard, who died.
Vince Offer is skinny and has some New york accent, and pitched the Slap Chop! as well as Shamwow!

I don’t have any “as seen on TV” products.

Val123's avatar

@Sarcasm OK…I can see them in my head now. LOL that everyone knew who I was talking about!

SamIAm's avatar

there was a thread a few days ago about as seen on tv products, and there was much talk about the slap chop. the shamwow was bull so i don’t know if i trust any of the products this guy promotes

Billy Mays was known by his friends to be kind and unbelievably generous.
You may have found that he was loud and perhaps you did not like his commercials.
He was hard working and successful, a pioneer in his field.
Calling him “Dead Screamer Dude” reflects badly on you not him! I can’t believe you worded your question that way. You are usually so much more thoughtful and articulate.

I’m sure the product works as illustrated. I can’t say how many individual “Slap Chops” Vern went through in filming the commercial, a process that can take over a day or more.

Billy Mays did a TON of charity work in Tampa area.more than you ever will.oh and it’s Vince who did the “slap chop”

Oh, the IRONY of Slap Chop guy: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2216855/posts

“You’re gonna love my nuts”

Do you think he said that to the prostie?

Val123's avatar

Wow, OK you guys. I am sorry. I knew nothing of the guy except he screamed. But you were right to correct me. That’s not a nice way to talk about someone, and I apologize. That’s all I can do. No need to follow up with insults, @spacemonkey

proXXi's avatar

@Val123, I don’t recall him actually screaming in his infomercials.

Just proir to his mugshot I linked above? That might be a different story…

Val123's avatar

@proXXi Oh man! I wonder what the real story is….he’s a mess there, isn’t he?

proXXi's avatar

Indeed @Val123

Slap Chop hee hee.

Good thing he wasn’t pitching firearms.

proXXi's avatar

LOl, YW!

wenn's avatar

haha just saw the Slap Chop commercial. vince sure is a character….who beat up a hooker.

azlotto's avatar

I don’t have a Slap Chop, but a very similar product.

avvooooooo's avatar

@Dr_Lawrence @spacemonkey Billy Mays and the car salesmen of the world are why they just had to enact a law that commercials not be louder than the program you’re watching. “Dead Screamer Dude” might not be a nice description, but it is certainly an accurate description in every particular.

proXXi's avatar

@avvooooooo Shit, are you serious??

I’m going to be out of a job!!

avvooooooo's avatar

@proXXi CALM I think the article needs to be updated as far as the status… I seem to remember some part of the legislature passing this, but I’m not entirely sure.

andrew's avatar

To answer the question, we had a very similar product in college.

It didn’t work. At all.

I thought those words came out of a new Japanese Karate film. this karate blackbelt said those words to an unsuspecting American, before he nailed him….....

“AhhhhSoooooo…....................slap——-chop!”.

The story goes, Vince hired a hooker. Sometime during the night, he kissed her, and she bit his tongue and wouldn’t let go. He punched her. She hit back. They were both arrested. Eventually all the charges were dropped.

And Billy Mays was a good guy and well respected around town.

Oh, and no, I don’t have a “Slap Chop”. I did have a Pampered Chef food chopper, but my son broke it. I miss it dearly.

Val123's avatar

@Seek_Kolinahr I wonder what’s up with her biting his tongue? Strange, since he gave her $1000 up front…I mean, just strange hooker behavior in general!

Seek's avatar

Haven’t you ever seen “Pretty Woman”? Never kiss a hooker on the mouth.

Val123's avatar

@Seek_Kolinahr Of course I’ve seen “Pretty Woman.” For all I knew it was a MYTH!!!

Kraigmo's avatar

I have one, and it works great, but the fatal flaw is a flimsy bottom plastic piece. Eventually it starts to shred up. And then shreds go into the food.

The Slap Chop would be a perfect appliance, if it were all metallic. But the plastic ruins it. I sure liked it during the first month when the plastic thing didn’t start shredding up.

Likeradar's avatar

I have a Slap Chop. It’s pretty good. My life is exciting now, and I love his nuts. I have trouble with food getting caught between the blades though.

rangerr's avatar

Billy Mays died after MJ and Farrah. He died on my birthday.

JesusWasAJewbot's avatar

The Slap Chop techno remix they play now is awesome.

NUNYA's avatar

did the plane wreck have anything to do with Billy Mays death? I’ve never heard the true outcome of his death. He was loud but he got your attention. Though many times it was called the “change channel button”.

avvooooooo's avatar

@NUNYA There was a heart attack that had something to do with cocaine.

proXXi's avatar

Billy Mays here for the Cocaine And Scrip Cocktail!

NUNYA's avatar

@avvooooooo Thanks for the link! How do I do that?

avvooooooo's avatar

“whatever”:

And then post the link behind it. Like this. :)

The whole style guide is underneath the text box called “entire list.”

NUNYA's avatar

Like thisI think I did it!!! YAY! Thanks! It took me about 6 tries but I did it.

avvooooooo's avatar

Yay! Now find something else on the formatting list to try. :)

anguilla's avatar

I got the Sham Wow! he advertised as a gift. It actually works as advertised! And ”!”

avvooooooo's avatar

@anguilla Just wait until you use it a little and it loses effectiveness.

anguilla's avatar

Well, I didn’t pay for it, so even it’s first successful use was good enough for me.
