Wow! Is that a scar or a worm on GJ Joe’s face?
That is a scar. It was to make sure that he had a “manly” image and to distinguish him from Ken and the Barbie dolls of that era. Also notice that in the early 70’s GI Joe was an action man and adventurer, not a soldier.
My brother had one of these when we were kids lol. Wow, I’m showing my age lol.
really? i thought G.I. stood for General Infantryman. and he is wearing army fatigues in that picture…
and this from wikipedia: “the line was launched on February 2, 1964, with a World War II theme”
Then for a short time when people didn’t like war, G.I. Joe became an adventurer, and eventually went back to war.
He is dead now :/
Poor G.I. Joe! I hadn’t heard.
He has appeared in many commercials in his lifetime, done many amazing things, and been the face of some of the greatest products ever known. R.I.P. Action Piercejaw
I laughed so hard I snorted.
you laughed because he died?! you have no heart.
LOL
G.I. Joe didn’t die, Billy did!!! xD
Captain Obvious sailing a failship on a full tank of duh…
I thought LeJJo was talking about Billy Mays…
no not G.I. Joe! Billy Mays!! Haven’t you heard?
i no!
HA! Even the hairline recedes the correct way!
RIP Billy
He was a really nice guy, and I never knew it until I saw ‘Pitchmen”. I’d trade 100 Michael Jacksons for one decent guy like Billy Mays.
Agreed!
I agree very much I hated those commercials he did but after watching that show pitchmen. He really seemed like a good down to earth hard working guy. very personable. I liked watching that show. I wonder what will become of it.
amen
I used to think that Billy Mays was kind of bleh. But after seeing him on Pitchmen on the Discovery Channel, I love this guy. He was hilarious on that show and seemed to be a really great guy to boot. He was a master at his job and will be missed. RIP Billy Mays.
I agree. Pitchmen was a great show, and he DID seem to be an awsome job. Just imagine how terrible Sully must feel now for ripping on him all the time…
RIP Billy. RIP.
He’d be fine. Heaven is now a cleaner and louder place.
that’s mean… but funny
that was my second thought after hearing the news. the first was about who was going to serenade me to sleep at three in the morning with random inventions. i loved that guy, and i hope his family is getting through this alright. RIP Billy
RIP Billy Mays
RIP BILLY MAYS. YOU WERE THE LOUDEST, MOST AMUSING PERSON I’VE EVER SEEN. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, *EVERYBODY* LOVED YOU. YOU WILL BE MISSED.
But wait there’s more: That says it all don’t it. Great Post.
He went out like a hero, just like GI Joe
I’m gonna miss you Billy! You were the best!!!!!!
Billy Mays was awesome. I’m sad he’s gone. Now the world will be a dirty and expensive place without him. RIP Billy.
RIP Billy!!
I hope he wouldn’t take offense to me wishing him the best in heaven; he is selling wings to angels now! (And doing a fantastic job, I might add)
The way I see it, the afterlife could use better pitchmen, and they’ve got one of the best.
i agree.
Dead man hawking!
good one
The scar is what makes it an authentic GI Joe. Since you can’t copyright “a male soldier action figure/doll”, Mattel gave him a scar and copyrighted that facial feature. Any other toymaker who created a doll with a similar scar could be sued by Mattel.
WHY GOD WHY!?! NOT OUR BILLY! TAKE SOPMEONE USELESS LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON INSTEAD!!!!
Your name suits you
and you’re a whore
Hooray!
I loved ‘Pitchmen’! It really helped me to understand all those infomercials…Billy was always smiling…I’ll always use OxyClean!
You know they say celebrities die in threes (McMahon, Fawcett, Jackson)
Leave it to Billy Mays to throw in ANOTHER AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU!
Win. RIP Mr. Mays
Technically, you could add David Carridine to the mix so there’s still one more to make a second set of three.
YES.
What about David Carradine?
And Fred Travalena- remember him? Impressionist extraordinaire- he passed a couple days ago too.
In honor of his death, we shall make sure no clothes stain is removed by anything that’s not OxiClean!
i havent heard anything about Billy on the news. but MJ? still all over.
would rather hear about Billy. at least he did something cool.
Sadly the media has gone overboard with MJ coverage and completely brushed Farrah’s death under the rug. Total overkill!!!
Kinda like when the pope’s death stole Mitch Hedberg’s thunder.
aww…RIP Billy!
yeah.. its really sad that billy died. me and my friend always laughed at his commercials because he talked so loud! but we werent laughing AT him we werelaughing with him. i have every single one of his products.Why did he whave to die. why couldent another crappy person die like micheal jackin.
but really what i want to know, is why so many famous people a re dieing. this shouldent be happening you know?
it seams that people keep dying around this time. it makes me sad.
Isnt this picture a bit too soon?
Nah, it’s not saying anything bad about him, it’s a memorial. I bet he would have loved the comparison.
Lola’s right. It gives us a place to say nice things about him. It’s not like the Media is stepping up. They’re still on about a pathetic albeit genius with no self esteem, who stripped himself of his own dignity. . . repeatedly.
To above poster, js, MJ was not a “crappy” person, he was a lost person. You should not disrespect the memory of those who pass before you. You never know what people will say about you when you’re dead.
As for Billy Mays, I loved his last commercial: the one where he is getting other people to yell and scream about his wonderful products. It was hilarious. I hope they don’t stop running it just because he died.
My best memory of Billy Mays, if I may: Shortly after his debut as OxyClean’s pitchman, we saw the product on the top shelf at WalMart. My 8-yr-old daughter had seen the infomercial and knew all about The Marvelous OxyClean. She couldn’t reach it so I got it down for her. She started the pitch, just to me, as people came through the aisle. She sold SEVEN jars of OxyClean that day! …to people who probably wouldn’t even have looked on the top shelf otherwise. His voice may have been loud and sometimes annoying, but he made a definite impression on a little girl and got the job done for the company!
R.I.P Billy Sad that hes dead
I’m certainly not one to shed a tear over a celebrities death (aka MJ), but I was very saddened to hear of Billy’s death. I also saw him on Pitchmen and he seemed like a helluva good guy. RIP Billy. You will be missed.
I’ll miss that man very much.
That diet coke certainly didn’t save his heart. But seriously I loved this guy
Agreed, Billy seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I’m sure he would have been cool to hang out with! We’ll miss you big guy!
lol TOO SOON
Best spokesmen that ever lived…. He will be missed
thats a little bit in bad taste. RIP Billy Mays.
Man, always thought he was annoying, but now I miss him. RIP BILLY!
R.I.P. Billy Mays
You know, he died a day after Michel Jackson did and at the same age!
R.I.P
RIP Billy Mays
Will miss him, one handsome guy!!!!!!!!
So sad he died.
RIP Billy. You were and always will be awesome.

Why couldn’t the shamwow guy die?
because he killed billy mays.
(not really. but it did break his heart that the orignal shamwow -zorbees- that he sold didn’t make it and the shamwow did. he talked about it on conan a few days before he died!)
lol master shake

Billy Mays died but all the newspapers magazines and TV shows care about is Michael Jackson
R.I.P. 70’s G.I Joe figure

Poor Billy Mays. May he rest in peace.
Too soon . . . too soon . . .
R.I.P
Wow, that is totally looks like. R.I.P. Billy Mays
you know, I would think there would be MORE commercials of Billy after he died, to serve, as a memorial or something…. but since he died, i havent seen one… just that stupid shamwow guy… and why all of a sudden is hollywood being slowly wiped out???? already theyve taken the 2 best, MJ and Billy, who next????
I saw this guy when I was looking to buy a gi joe from this era. I got the feeling that he looked like billy, so I looked to see if other people thought like me
HI, G.I. JOE HERE WITH THE
