Line 45:
* [[Berserk Button]]: As shown on ''Pitchmen'', you could not mention Shamwow or Vince around him...
* [[Catch Phrase]]: '''"HI, BILLY MAYS HERE!"'''
** '''"[[But Wait! There's More!]]"'''
* [[Flanderization]]: He got CONSIDERABLY LOUDER over the years. [[Early Installment Weirdness|It's weird watching his old, normally-spoken commercials]].
** '''[http://kdka.com/seenon/Billy.Mays.infomercials.2.1015019.html HE'S NOT SHOUTING HE'S]''' '''''[http://kdka.com/seenon/Billy.Mays.infomercials.2.1015019.html PROJECTING!]'''''
* [[Full
** Or BILLY MAYS
* [[Gag Dub]]: Up until his death, and even after, he was the constant ([[Affectionate Parody|affectionate]]) target of [http://www.youtube.com/jabo0odydubs Jabo0ody Dubs.]
* '''[[Large Ham|LARGE HAM]]''': He was remarkably cool and collected in most of the interviews he gave; his giant hamminess was explained as somewhere being [[Money, Dear Boy|pragmatic about what attitude sells]] and [[Ham and Cheese|having fun in his job]].
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: His wardrobe seemed to consist solely of blue shirts and tan pants, indeed to the point that this was parodied in an ad he did for ESPN360.com in which he's on the run and his suitcase is entirely filled with just blue shirts and tan pants. This is taken to an almost illogical extreme, since, as mentioned above, he was buried in that particular outfit. Furthermore, his pallbearers wore the same outfit.
* '''[[No Indoor Voice|NO INDOOR VOICE]]'''
** Averted by the show Pitchmen - when not on camera, his voice is quite average.
* [[
* [[Refuge in Audacity]] - Some of the memes and jokes immediately following his death (with surprisingly few proceeding into [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]) were enough to make you laugh and hate yourself for it simultaneously. A good example? Images of Vince Offer holding up the [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]] with his usual wild-eyed stare.
* '''[[Ridiculously Loud Commercial|RIDICULOUSLY LOUD COMMERCIAL]]'''
* [[Self
** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtYdDK1uTDI the video he made of himself] ordering McDonald's breakfast.
* '''[[Shout Out|SHOUT OUT]]''': [[South Park]] season 13, episode "Dead Celebrities". Full stop.
Line 64:
* [[Youtube Poop (Web Animation)|Youtube Poop]]: He is a favorite subject, along with [[Vince Offer]].

** [[Love It or Hate It]]: After his death, many continue to find BILLY MAYS poops funny, while others [[Dude, Not Funny|changed their minds]].
** This was enhanced further by the discovery of an outtake reel in which Billy Mays curses. His sudden "are you shittin' me?" blurt ended up used quite heavily, probably most appropriately for the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDfrwHHScxg Big City Toilet].
