You didn't see his pitch for that "Arise from the Dead" spray for
erections and resurrections?



Actually, he seems to be on the air more now than before. Hope it is his
family getting the "residuals."


Same here. But somehow I could tolerate him better when he was alive.

He obviously made a bunch of ads that they will continually release.

I thought he was annoying when he was alive, but he did get attention
for his products, so he WAS a good pitchman.

Only Ron Popeil could pitch a questionable product in a non annoying way.

Warren Miller (any one remember him?) Could have been a great pitchman.
He had a persuasive manner in his boating/ski films.
