And the PITCHMAN commanded them, saying, "Thou shalt not amass a damned multitude of baptism within the ark." #ytpmv subs-titute: https://nekocap.com/view/ogGrBDBxn6 download link: https://file.garden/Zp6lvuAeqTJ1hsEe/ytpmv/public/Last%2C%20Putty%20Might.wav BGM: Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) no bgm: _switch audio track to "Afar" in player settings_ ─────────────── This here is a roundup of similar things: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnFFZ2e6FXc * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyJPf9aXNIU * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffhnpwdoNFQ * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKSLx1SvPG8 (partial) * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kie1mgccQkg While this here is a roundup of similar things that share a broadly comparable approach: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8ZPStA54Ng * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDjTR-O85xo * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXICPke_mag (partial?) * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHbKwV8M448 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD9SbWRBIa0 (could fit either category; a _Customerization Seminar_ it is) Yes, Volvic happens to be there twice (if not more), and I could even balance it out with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSQl25YD8uQ were it not set to unlisted a long time ago. But the point worth dwelling on is that, for someone who's able to cut through the noise from any commercial break, Billy didn't get as much time to shine in earlier uses. Where he stood head and shoulders over most contemporaries, his presence about amounted to the briefest in things such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k88vGAkXIE (from elsewhere; still germane) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTBkXjtQWAY (a moment at 1:40 alludes to this). Years on, a change of heart set in, expressed through a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5fV7DiQ1hA, to end up with an https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jKmMWJhtmQ Had a second chorus held together better, drawing from a wider set of ads, the thrust may/might have shifted toward the PITCHMAN as the de facto host who invites a range of infomercial mainstays to his Mighty Party. From ShamWow (begrudgingly), to Flex Seal, to MyPillow, to Bob's Discount Furniture (derogatory), you name it... it took cues from the "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" music video itself. Even so, that came with its own issues. As is the case with both "Whopper's Gold Mine" and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1muNLqfsL98, the audio and visuals were played straight until the very end, paired with a visual layout that departs slightly from precedent. mark3611's Billy Mays Master Transcript was of big help, and having it readily available made it possible to write alongside the source rather than around it. By drawing from that breadth of material, Billy's enthusiasm carries a performance that captures the brilliance of a late-night sales pitch turned inside-out, while showing that even the most seasoned veterans of these throughlines don't need a cabinet full of cleaners... _Wow!_
