R.I.P. Joseph Ades aka The Peeler Man

Joseph Ades, the man who could sell anything -- but especially vegetable peelers -- died February 4, 2009 at the age of 75.
www.nytimes.com...
Born in England but with a voice that recalled Australia, Joseph Ades was a legend in New York City. He was featured in the Daily News, Vanity Fair and other publications which he displayed next to the little table where he sold vegetable peelers. The peelers flew out of his hands like magic.

[@efbon3]

the internet will keep him alive forever.

[@daminami1927]

That's a nice thought. I like that.

[@mitchmitrione8229]

Cryptic bone nice comment man. 4 real. puts some happiness where there's sadness. thumbs up. this comment should be top of the list IMO.

[@plpno]

Don't forget KZbin! 😉

[@davidlanjeckt4087]

Cryptic bone agreed

[@Bogframe]

I bought my peeler from him in 2002. It's 2021 and it's still as sharp and effortless to use as the day I bought it!

[@davidrosolovski2633]

what?! NOOOOOO.!!! I just learned about him!!!

[@connerscott3624]

David Rosolovski me too

[@psilocybinx8596]

David Rosolovski Lol, yep.

[@6double6.]

What a great, smart man. He's in a good place with his wife now. R.I.P Joseph, you will be remembered forever. You're iconic to the salesman and the market

[@uzumakinaruto8029]

high life yep with his 4 wives

[@mrpineapple2938]

Uzumaki Naruto 😎😎😎

[@mikha007]

+uzumaki naruto 4 wives? was he a muslim?

[@clairetrytche]

mikha007 umm... this might sounds rude.. so i'm going to say sorry first. ok. why do you assume that he's a muslim ?

[@mikha007]

he was a great salesman and i was being facetious....anyone one reported as having 4 wives instantly reminds me of islam....but theirs are all at the same time...im sure Josephs weren't

[@Jamese-mw2pq]

People like that - will keep America going strong. Ahaha. I love him.

[@baitsism]

no bro, not just America but whole world! God bless him.

[@aritrianditya7700]

yeah a whole world too

[@lolmoq]

No he is from Britain and he said its from Switzerland. So better to say he is keeping swiss and Britain going! Racist Americans...

[@michaelsulse6225]

AutoUser RBLX Americans are all racist? You have to be pretty dense to think that. He is saying America because he is in New York, which is in America you fool.

[@michaelsulse6225]

Sophisticated One The name you chose is ironic considering you are calling the entire USA racist.

[@Drtomterrific]

We love these honest pitchmen because their pitch grabs our brains and holds our attention. The rhythm if their words and the enthusiasm the express conveys good cheer to us.

[@gunay205]

I do sales as well but this man is a legend I will surely learn from him

[@KM-bc4rz]

He was a millionaire. Wondering how humble this man was.

[@The_Big_Jay]

A man only dies when he is forgotten

[@raydom78]

me too, i just learn about him too. he is so amazing that I thought I could find out more about him and learn more about selling skill from him. he is such amazing person...

[@shubhamsingh3635]

This man is a legend of quality , customer satisfaction , skill and advertising .

[@tamaratamara7600]

HOLLYWOOD needs to make a movie on the life of this man. He has truly maximised his God given talent. BRAVO!!!

[@benjaminyaong]

what a great man!

[@yatinsharma7092]

I wish I had purchased from him RIP

[@andieanders4840]

God bless his soul..a wonderful man that inspire the world

[@coldhank]

We need more dads and grand dads like Joe Ades. I love you Joe! RIP

[@janharmonddacion7778]

He's a true inspiration for the many generations of business people. May you rest in peace with our heavenly father from above. RIP Joseph Ades.

[@markshaz8691]

From Manchester to NY R.I.P.

[@94462]

why Manchester? this guy is from N.Y.

[@bzkproductions1018]

I'm watching this in 2017

[@carmelpule6954]

It is fascinating to know that there are people who have all sorts of talents. One must admit this man had a personality which fitted well in a city crowded society and he did it with such simplicity. He did not just sell but he entertained and he broke the loneliness of a city with giving people part of himself. He was a brilliant salesman but I would say that he also had a good product to sell.

[@learner3481]

RIP Teacher. You are truly awesome

[@onetwothereefour]

his voice isn't Australian. sounds like he's from the depths of Peckham England

[@vibraphonics]

Actually he was from Manchester but he went all over the world

[@tonidewonderful4187]

First time I heard him speak, I thought East end of London and Jewish,

[@milanshah4]

He is actually a Brit settled in the US after ww2

[@zurgboy07]

just stumbled on one of his vids rip lots of respect for him they don't make people like him anymore.

[@CAVERUNLAKE]

He had me trying to buy one and I’m watching on KZbin lol

[@garagearts]

JOE ADES is a LEGEND always will be,, I had the pleasure of knowing the man working with him,, I was glad to know him,, he taught me many things,, theres no SHIT in joe he spoke hes mind and kept me on my path when was young,, he got me to realise who it was I was hanging with,, he came o Australia for many years worked Sydney and Melbourne with the Melbourne boys working the streets till they changed the laws ,, he was GENTLEMEN AND A SCHOLAR WAS PROUD TO KNOW HIM ,, IT SADDENS ME TO KNOW OF HES PASSING !!! BLESS HIM !!!

[@survivethewild2489]

I love this old wonderful and very great man

[@la_gallada_ruiz9818]

he made millions brilliant

[@nazifabubakar5188]

All I see is hard work!

[@richardschindler8822]

I’m guessing I must have bought ten of those great potato peelers from him over the years. I liked to watch his show while he worked several street corners, all over the city. He had quite the performance. Just like him, all my peelers are gone now. RIP master salesman.

[@ProjectRescues]

Reminds me of "The most interesting man in the world"..

[@celinemenon5744]

still alive in our heart...

[@TheMasterMoto]

Every video I watch he was exactly the same, lesson learnt is patience pays off, enough small gains eventually becomes major gain, and once you find a good sales pitch, Why change it up!!, Rip

[@davidwood730]

RIP symbol of hard work

[@kaizenomnibiz5383]

Just learned bout this great man and his daughter, and also learned bout this...

[@happyhour5859]

Have a great rest I wish I bought one of those

[@danwat1234]

Yup the Titan Peeler is $15.92 on Amazon I think for a 2 pack

[@AJR-zg2py]

Remember that Joe bought them wholesale... he was probably buying them by the gross (that's 144 units). I wouldn't be surprised if he was paying just a dollar per peeler after buying in such bulk amounts.

[@HELLENICPRIDE100]

The word "potato" gives the British origins of his accent away. Apparently he spent time in Australia as well, for someone who was asking earlier on. Joe i am about the same age you appear to be on this video and i salute you mate. I will keep working till i drop just to keep the brain engaged all the time. MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!!

[@mitchmitrione8229]

what noooo this guy is passed? ah man that sucks. RIP buddy you were such a humble soul. may God bless you at the pearly gates. I'm sorry I didn't make it by to get one of your peelers. Park avenue lost a good soul.. The street corner will never be the same.

[@kennethvick]

Can't remember when I first saw Joseph, but he sold me, and I still have the potato peeler he sold me many moons ago! Blessing, Joseph and will see you on the other side! kenn~

Sir Joseph it's my wish to work with you but unfortunately now this can't be happen. But I have a dream to become best sellers in world no matter what it takes for me to do . I wish your blessings and may God bless me with your courage. Dear peoples, It is very easy to work in companies and other firms but we can't compare sir Joseph work with us because at his age most of people don't do this things and the one who do! they concidered in greatest of all time.
