Mighty Mendit Commercial (2024)

Captured during an episode of "The Guns of Will Sonnett" on MeTV+. Captured on April 27, 2024, from the Frndly TV feed.
This has been stretched to a 14:9 ratio, unfortunately. If I find a 4:3 version, I'll possibly reupload this. It's great to see Billy Mays return to TV.

I had the tv on, but wasnt paying attention, and all of the sudden I hear "Hi, BILLY MAYS HERE, and I was having a bit of a mindf*ck for a minute

You can tell this ad was made years ago, since they show flip phones.

[@travis7310]

That, and the fact Billy Mays has been dead for 15 years!

[@JaneM-qt2qi]

I guess it was made in 2008. But what year was "MIGHTY MEN-IT™" made?

[@brianhebert6152]

They need to bring more Billy Mays ads back onto the air. A new generation needs to be shouted at in order to find solutions for their problems!

[@JAnon__]

can't believe they used dark magic and witchcraft to bring Billy Mays back from the dead for this 😭😭😭😭😭

[@herrcobblermachen]

Even from beyond the grave Mayes continues to haunt us- and holding up the plane.

[@MamonFighter2ndChannel]

I can tell it’s a rerun of one of Billy Mays ads complete with Gen Z era (2000s) graphics. He was a YTP meme fame fad who has passed away already in the last 2000s year. I’ve actually seen it during Underdog on launch day on MeTV Toons according to the commercial break.

[@SMEARGLEX75]

I just flipped to MeTV Toons and GOAT jumpscared me. Hope he's been resting well...

[@thatpart]

My immediate thought was "they brought this man back via AI" 😂

HOW IS THIS NOT ON THE NEWS? -Cesar

[@revolutionsbytylerJ]

This is not the exact same commercial as was broadcast in the 00s. They put in a new phone number and copyright date, and it is now $29.99 nstead of $19.99, which is why they edited the part starting at 1:26.

[@Funnyredhouse3453]

This is possibly a rerun on commercial breaks since it was probably from the late 2000s or early 2010s

[@seibertron500]

i thought i was fucking high when they played this recently. i literally had to check my calendar what date it was because i was so confused

[@LARDLOGO]

So they did bring it back?! Saw this come on a couple of weekends ago and thought it was an accident.

[@TheVintageTVArchive]

Yes they did. I’ve seen it on other networks besides MeTV+ as well.

[@kewrock]

@@TheVintageTVArchive It was on NY-1 news this morning. I just assumed it was a new product, not even realizing Billy Mays died years ago. I caught my interest because I have a few new patches for my jacket and sewing is not my thing.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

How did Billy Mays' estate approve of this?

[@TrickyMario7654]

I think it’s just an old ad they’ve continued using.

[@Royameadow]

For viewers coming to this upload wondering why we are witnessing this commercial present in the current era with some relevant editing and pricing updates, the producers of Mighty Putty are airing the Mighty Mendit commercial throughout all of Fiscal Year 2024 to celebrate the Fifteenth Anniversary of the product with the blessing of Billy Mays' estate, the official website for Mighty Putty still uses his personality as a means to keep his impact alive and I'm certain that everybody is happy to witness it in action again from all ends. The increased price to 029.99$ USD ultimately required some new lines to be recorded and injected, as has been mentioned in the comments section via Revolutions by Tyler J.; in theory, the source material of the original ad from Fiscal Year 2009 could've been used along with a clip of Billy saying the changed value, but barring the existence of Generative AI model sample audio I don't think that there is much authentic footage with that specific number that would've matched his vocal template at that time and would line up with the sound mixing without it sounding obvious unless it was handled by a very delicate hand, the compromise here then was to film a new voiceover from scratch and thus this edition of the promotion was born, I do believe that we will witness more Commemorative Promotionals featuring Billy's sessions as many of the products near Twenty, 025, and Thirty Years (note that OxiClean is presently 027; its Thirtieth Anniversary is in 2027) and to witness Anthony Sullivan and others pay tribute to those sessions' original script and handling truly shows how close everybody in the Pitchman side of the Yellow Collar industry truly has become over time. (:

Billy Mays died in 2009.

[@bober450]

Not to mention Billy mays has been dead for 15 years
