Holy Sh*t almost 20,000 views thanks to everyone that watched this video!
I was at the Rhode Island Convention Center going to the Northeast Int. Auto show when I found this stand selling Sham Wow's and me, with my camera in hand, recorded it. Theres some douchey kid sitting next to me when i taped this, so whenever he yelled out, it was clearly heard on this. O well.

This man sounds like he'd be a footbal coach that would say "as long as everyone has fun, the game doesn't matter."
So true
Why did I read that in his voice 🤦🏽♂️
Imagine that existed though
🤞
U insinuate
He won me over when he said. "Step on the shammy not the dog. He's still a good boy.
I thought he said "Lassie" is still good boy🤣🤣🤣... and I'm thinking here, who names their boy dog Lassie?!?!😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA me too
well you are very easy to win then.

Salesman: "We only have a little bit of product left"
Also salesman: *"I'll double the offer"*
Classic CTA
My dad was a salesman for years and you should have hears the amount of BS he would spew to get someone to buy from him. He sold boxes of steak for a while, for example. He would buy them for $90, make a fake invoice showing that they were $250 wholesale, say he normally sold them for $325 but needed to offload them and would pocket the difference. He'd even let them "haggle" him down to $175, saying he was willing to "take the loss" so he didn't have to pay a nonexistent restock fee. He could sell 10 or so a day and make a tidy profit.

That first demo looked like he just pooled all the water off the edge toward him in a sleight of hand. But the rest is hard to argue with, even if that non-fizzing "cola" is just dyed water

I've watched this video multiple times on different occasions.
Lol yeah cuz I’m actually drunk 💀
Dammit. You’re right.
Lmfao true this is true
Ultimate line, after all this time: “Step on it, I’m talking the Shammy not the dog, because he’s still a good boy.”
That made me chuckle. Either someone asked or was worried about the dog before and had to add that in, or just a forethought on a bit of humor.
@@Kara_Kay_Eschel Yeah, he probably said it and thought “oh shoot that didn’t sound right!” He seems like the type who has improvising down great! I guess we know his dog is a good boy.
Boy what a zinger
@@Kara_Kay_Eschel It's actually a marketing technique. He added a funny detail in to captivate attention. His whole script is very well written
LMAO SO CUTE
I have been using the shamwow since Vince did the commercials.
These do actually work very well and are super versatile.
This guy knows what he's doing if he just made me watch a 5 minute infomercial without me being distracted.
"If you don't want to touch it, just step on it. But not your dog, he's still a good boy.

For those wondering the time stamp is 2:40 🤣
I purchased 5000 of these and was arressted when I attempted to soak up the entire Atlantic Ocean.
That description is allllll about what old school UA-cam was about.
We just happily watched a AD for 4 minutes straight
It’s called viral marketing.
From 12 years ago.
Tbh I enjoyed this far more than any advertisement I've ever watched on TV.
and we'll DO IT AGAIN!
Because it's a good ad, one that isn't desperate.
“Dog caught short? Just step on it! Not the dog please he’s still a good boy.” What a salesman they don’t make em like this anymore.
Yeah :(
It's scripted
bc they get paid minimum wage to use all their energy talking & demonstrating to hundreds of ppl who wouldnt think twice abt the product
also bc amazon is a thing
@@msarchive6247 ok?
The 5 minutes flew by, I couldn't believe it was that long. His presentation skills, engagement and charisma are too notch.
i’m not from america but i still remember seeing an ad for this when i was much much younger which then led me to calling every microfibre towel a “shamwow”
"The Shammy has to be damp to be absorbent." Everyone forgets that and complains that the shamwow doesn't work
Shamwow and shamois are different btw
@YayDude123 Still, not entirely misleading, there must be some instructions or something in the packaging, no?
but how do you get it damp if its only absorbent when its damp

Great sales man. Having tried to become a sales man at one point, my respect for these individuals is very high.
This comment didn't sell me on your story, you gotta do better than that if you're wanting to make it in this business.
Their job is to literally bilk people out of their money, how is that respectable?
This camera work feels like the POV of a very curious dog and I absolutely love it
STEP ON IT.. I’m talking the shammy, not the dog because he’s still a good boy.
Lol'd at that, audience didn't seem to respond much though
I died laughing LMFAO
cried at that part but not gonna like the comment cause it's at 666

The product is nice but man, I'd give him my money just for his presentation alone. He's excellent at what he does.

It’s not just the product that sales the product, but the salesman that sales the product.
I'm convinced sales is an art...
And this man is a piaccao
@@danosthanos5766 awkward at the end no one stepped up
That's a nice name
It's a shame this video didn't go internet viral and we never knew who this guy is. His sales talk has that perfect combination of chill and enthusiasm. Sure, he's not pulling a Billy Mays or an Anthony Sullivan but the way he presents the product is so immaculate.
I hope he's still alive and kicking somewhere and has seen the love he's gotten from just this UA-cam video alone.
yeah he could sell ice to a snow man
It has over 11 million views..... Thats extremely viral for a video about towels. You're acting as if this video only has a few thousand views.
A true shamy indeed
12m views seems pretty viral to me
How is 12M views not viral? What is wrong with you?
The word “sham” is built right into the product
That awkward moment when he's done performing it and peolle just walk away without buying a single unit
Maybe because no one spills coke on a carpet. Any other spills can be washed by regular cleaning rag
Фёдор Максименков people spill coke on a carpet, trust me they are out there. Spilling a smoothie was the worst for me

The question is. Is it really as good as he says?
Love how he sweeps the water off the counter and pretends the cloth soaked it all up.
Little did they know how honest this guy was being!! Shammy rocked and made tons of competition.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamois_leather these were around 100 years before shamwow. Shammy is not shamwow it's a nickname for all these types of cloths
*Gives a great passionate presentation*
"So who wants one?"

I'd buy that after seeing it irl !

There is something so special about a pitchman who is good at his job. I'm not sure how to describe it, but there is something almost magical about listening to them describe a product.
Hypnosis. For the feeble minded.
All it really takes to be a great salesperson is sincerity. The benefit of in-person demos is people see the product doing what the salesperson is claiming so, it's easier for the customer to feel the sincerity. It's still a pitch, but it's an honest pitch and the customer doesn't feel like they are being taken for a ride/fooled.
i mean it doesn't feel sincere at all to me. just feels like he rehearsed some script to sell a product that no one really needs.
You'll be a terrible salesman if you're going to rely on sincerity. Try to make a living doing that selling new cars and let us know how soon you get fired because nobody buys from you. If you dont have the guts to ask for the sale you'll never get it. The customer will say "Oh I gotta think about it" and then you'll hear he bought from a the other dealer in town a few days later. People need (and want) to be pushed when making large purchases.
@@FrankBullitt390 I've sold everything from furniture, to freight loads, to used cars, I am well versed in the language of people and have had no trouble in over 20 years of sales.
You can be sincere and push for the sale, just can't afford to be a dishonest pos.

This is pretty incredible quality for such an old youtube upload. Even if the camera was decent back then, usually youtube wrecks the upload with compression somewhere along the line. Can't find many youtube videos from longer than 10~ years ago as clear and crisp as this.
It makes me sad thinking that somewhere, there may be a salesman who talks for a really long time, to have no one buy the product
more like anywhere
I legit had my credit card out only to realise im watching this video loool

I have one of these, a light green one, had it for many years and it still works like a charm.
I bought a few of these from menard’s and I use them for washing my car to be honest. They hold way more soapy water than a sponge and are easy to get clean. They also have the benefit of being larger than most sponges.
