Vince Tries To Sell ShamWow And SlapChop In Spanish
Vince takes the ShamWow to a whole new level, as he tries to sell his famous macroshammy in Spanish. Yes, Spanish, a language he is not fluent in, a fact that becomes abundantly clear in this video. You'll note there are far fewer shots of his face than in the original. However, he still has that exact same sideways grimace and contorted eyebrows thing going on. Must be something he perfected after long hours staring into a seedy hotel room mirror. UPDATE: And here's Vince trying to sell the SlapChop in Spanish!

I see they still left that tricky cut w/ the soda and carpet in. One second there is a puddle, next second it disappears.
¡usted va amar mis nueces!
They air this commercial right after the one for the Cornballer.
Wonder how much hooker blood the ShamWow can soak up?
We forgive and forget our beloved high-paid superstar athletes when they beat their wives/gf's why not forgive shamwow guy (in espanol of course)? lol
@Secret Agent Man: LOL... on the last Vince article yesterday, I made reference to *both* the Spanish language version, *and* the Cornballer! ;-)
@ekzachtly: No - no words. No words to describe it. Poetry! They should've sent a poet. So beautiful. So beautiful... I had no idea.
@me and the sysop:
Did it become your favorite just now, or after one of the previous 100 times it was posted?
Can't wait for the German version.
"You always make good stuff."
You mean it's a sham?
Wow!
Sorry, I had to.
This guy makes me sick.
Notice they show very few shots of him actually speaking. If they did, the shots would be several takes' worth of him staring intently at a sheet of phonetic spellings.
Actually most of the time it sounds like he's speaking Japanese.
Should they really have used a "Border" Collie for the Spanish version. Perhaps a Chihuahua would have been better....
I also love the dubbed in sound of liquid when he empties the ShamWow full of cola into the Pyrex, I mean Pyrex-o.
And of course, the obligatory: "Usted va a encantar mi nueces!"
Looks like i'm not the only one who thinks he's the real life version of moe from the simpsons?
@zerosum0101: forgive him for what?? he beat a hooker in response to her latching on to his lip with her teeth. I'd've cut that bitch if it happened to me!
It's just like the videos we'd have to make for high school Spanish class.. only ours were less sad.
"Hooray for the penday-hos!"
Was this made before or after his hotel party?
This is so much cooler if you can actually speak Spanish and notice how he's basically saying gibberish half the time.
@Ben Miner: Well, in clicking on the youtube clip, it was uploaded in October 2008, so I'm going to say, possibly before.
@BuildABearGroupMember_GitEmSteveDave:Beautiful isn't exactly the word that comes to mind when I see Vince Shlomi.
@Murph1908: yeah, it was almost funny the other day when everyone else said it. Now, it just seems like a 5 year-old repeating the same joke everyone else has been laughing at to see if he gets the same laughs.
Has this just started airing? I watch the News in spanish para practicar and just noticed it too.
@veg-o-matic: "No mas tuna aburrida.. tu vida esta mas exitante!"
hahahaha!!
That just about makes up for the lack of something like "te van a encantar mis nueces"
Tacos! Burritos! Linguini! Fettucini! Martini! Bikini!
@enderx: Tounge. It was his tongue. And to be fair, she did call out Billy Mays name just moments before.
I was just getting ready to post something about Vince taking a page out of George Sr.'s playbook. Well done!
I dig vince, but he's got nothing on those other spanish infomercials. They fly when they speak. I wonder if anyone can tell us if he still says "You're gonna love my nuts!"
Considering how completely and effectively the Hip-Hop community has embraced and forgiven Chris Brown after beating the living snot & crap out of his girlfriend, maybe Mr ShamWow should try reaching out to that community instead...
How do you say "Get beat up to a bloody mess by a hooker." in Spanish?
@ViperBorg - SpaceBat hates Facebook: @Trai_Dep:
I know, considering how Hip-Hop portrays women, you'd think they'd be up in...er...I thought I had a point.
@Airjoe:
I wonder if anyone can tell us if he still says "You're gonna love my nuts!"
He does not. But he does seem to think that chopped tuna and eggs makes ones life "more stimulating".. in the uh.. intimate sense.
the water sounds made me laugh
"Get beat up to a bloody mess by a hooker" = Coger una pela ensangrentada por una prostituta. (This would be the nice way of saying it.) = La puta lo jodio! (This is the PR slang version.)
No shit. I speak a little bit of spanish and listening to that I thought it was a joke. But if he was trying to make people laugh he did a hell of a job.
(Note to self: never watch a SlapChop commerical in any language with a mouthful of hot coffee! Damage to computer monitor may result.)
this is my first chance to make the first comment on a post...
and legitimately i have nothing to say. there are no words.
