Why, oh, why?! My point is, TV’s going to be no fun anymore without him. Who’s going to be screaming at you through your speakers? Who’s beard can I make fun of now (not counting Chuck Norris’s)? Also, what about that show they made about him? That’s the show I watched once or twice when I figured out he really did have a normal voice.
It’s kind of ironic that Billy Mays was just on Conan O’Brien a few days ago, comparing his style of sales pitch. He used the famous “bellowing” voice only for the actual pitch.
I remember a shot of him speaking from the doorway of a skydiving plane. In the maelstrom of wind, I noted that the volume sounded the same as in the studio, selling OxiClean.
Billy was a good guy, a family man. I liked his comments after experiencing the bumpy landing.

Last night I saw a commercial with Billy Mays in it. Is it disrespectful or an honor to him to have commercials with him being shown after he passed away? I am not sure which, and perhaps some would be neutral on the matter.

Billy Mays was so well known as a pitch-man that it seems more of an honor to keep showing his commericals. Micheal Jackson’s, Elvis Presley’s and many other dead artists’ music/work is still being sold. There’s no difference between that and airing Mays’ commercials.
Maybe there’ll be a Billy Mays museum for his fans one day.
