Here’s What Happened To These 40 Iconic Commercial Characters

Vince Shlomi – ShamWow


We can’t forget about Vince Shlomi, who goes by so many names when it comes to commercials. Inspired by Crazy Eddie when he was still in school, he was determined to make money, first selling food choppers before he made waves for his ShamWow shorts. He tried directing, but this didn’t fare well.

Shlomi didn’t make money out of products that he created, but he scoured flea markets, hoping to find items he could advertise better. His fall from grace came in 2009 after an arrest that resulted in his now-viral mugshots. Since then, he has released products like InVinceable, and a kitchen cleaner meant to do many things.
