FreeCreditReport.com Guy
He bugs the hell out of me. I hate the stupid songs, and I hate the smug look that's always on his face.

I just wanted to announce that.

I have a friend who likes these commercials. I hate them- I've heard them way too many times.

The sham-wow or whatever the hell it's called? He freaks me out. Who the hell is he? He's presented like we're supposed to know who is--like he has some sort of towel authority.

Ron G and awil's average credit score: 468.

I don't mind him or the songs, but I'm rolling a huge number.

Apparently, his name is "Vince Offer".

Sham-Wow dude does a commercial in Spanish as well which makes him annoying in two languages!

Look at him. He looks like a psychopath.

I'll bet he's eaten human flesh in his day. The ShamWOW is probably excellent for cleaning up human blood.

Agreed. Flo and her "tricked out name tag" is worse than either of those two.

However, I think the prize goes to "Smilin' Bob." The Burger King King is a close second.

Apparently you can get it at Target.

Flo would be hot if she wasn't so obnoxious.

Oh, and Matthew Lesko is back! That free government money guy. He has a new commercial. He's aged a lot though, but he's still wearing that Riddler suit.

The real Flo is an actress named Stephanie Courtney

And she does standup!
