These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way.

YMMV: Billy Mays
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Ever since his death, Anthony Sullivan has been wearing his trademark blue shirt. It clearly shows just how close friends they were.
"Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The season finale of Pitchmen, where a pitch off is had between Billy and Sully, Billy wins said pitch off even with Sully using shills and trying to mess with him, and reclaims the shammy and chopping market from Vince Offer. All the while Sully claiming that he's unstoppable. Damn...
And of course, if you happened to see one of his commercials on TV after he died...
I swear they're still coming out with new ones.
Not to mention Smosh made a video showing a Billy Mays impersonator get kidnapped by terrorists a mere nine days before his death.
In earlier 2009 during the last days of Jay Leno's reign as host of The Tonight Show he had Billy Mays do a skit that was him advertising William Shakespeare themed products. Many viewers found it to be a great example of Billy Mays doing some Adam Westing. Jay Leno said that this was originally going to be in his new show in the fall but he decided to do it before the summer on The Tonight Show.
Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: While there were a large number of people that disliked Billy for his "annoying voice," additional exposure on Jay Leno and the show Pitchmen did a lot for changing that image.
Not to mention the fact that he had rather high standards for what he put his name to and the products he sold actually worked.
