For those of you not in the U.S., the Lattice video is actually a pretty good spoof of the ShamWow guy, a rather unfortunate fixture on American TV for a few years.

Yeah, but I think 'vince' is in jail now due to drugs.   :-\

Too funny, but they should have continued the theme on their website.  I think Dave is forcing the industry to have more fun after the Microchip video he inspired:

I wish I had the talent to script, act and produce stuff like that.
All I do is turn on the camera and waffle on for a while!

You're right, I was thinking of how Billy Mays died from drugs.  :P

That's hilarious, I don't know how that got past the 'script-ers' (unless it wasn't an accident  ;))

I'd love to do a rap video like John Cohen's but don't have the skills or music talent!

There weren't any. Vince (the guy in the video) saw some German rags that became the ShamWoW at a flea market and bought a ton and started marketing them (and later the SlapChop). As far as I know the videos were just him and a contracted film crew.
