Early life[edit]

Offer Shlomi was born in Beersheva, Israel and grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York. As a child, he was fascinated by Crazy Eddie commercials. He dropped out of high school when he was 17 and moved to Los Angeles, changing his name to Vince Offer.^[5]

Career[edit]

Film[edit]

In 1999, Offer directed and appeared in The Underground Comedy Movie, which was met with extremely negative reviews. DVDs of the film were marketed via television infomercial. The film also led to several lawsuits. Although the film was released and screened in 1999, Offer was bankrupt by 2002 and home video distribution plans were shelved. Offer, who had previously been a successful vegetable chopper salesman and businessman, resumed selling vegetable choppers at swap meets to support himself and raise money to complete his film project. Within a few months, he had earned enough to resume production, and the movie was finally completed, released, and marketed entirely on late-night infomercials that Offer paid for with his earnings from the swap meet vegetable chopper sales. The film has sold in excess of 100,000 copies and Offer has used the proceeds from sales to file a lawsuit against the Church of Scientology.^[6] He is an ex-Scientologist.^[7][8]

In 2011, he appeared as himself in the Adam Sandler film Jack and Jill. Title character Jill, played by Sandler, referred to him as 'the ShamWow guy'.

In 2013, Offer released the universally panned InAPPropriate Comedy, which he directed, wrote and appears in as a character called 'Peeping Tom'.^[9] The film was originally envisioned as a sequel to his previous anthology, called Underground Comedy 2010. The film features stars Rob Schneider, Michelle Rodriguez, Adrien Brody, and Lindsay Lohan. Examples of film sketches include comedian Ari Shaffir as 'The Amazing Racist', with deliberately offensive hidden-camera encounters with members of different minority groups, and Brody as 'Flirty Harry', a Dirty Harry spoof.^[10]

Infomercial marketing[edit]

Background[edit]

Offer funded The Underground Comedy Movie with his own money, but had difficulty selling it. He put the trailer in an infomercial, and claims to have sold 50,000 copies via direct order and 50,000 more in stores.^[6] In 2010, he advertised Eminem's Recovery album.^[11]

ShamWow[edit]

In 2006, Offer began to market a cleaning product that he saw in flea markets, an absorbent towel that he called the 'ShamWow!'^[6][12] The title of the product derives from the French pronunciation of the chamois, often shortened to 'shammy' in English. Offer visited the factory in Germany where the product is made, and he decided to incorporate that fact into the TV pitch.^[6]

The advertisement, filmed in the summer of 2007 with a budget of $20,000, received critical praise.^[6]Slate.com's Seth Stevenson praised Offer for his 'impressive and subtle mastery of the pitchman's art' (with lines such as 'you know the Germans always make good stuff'), and wondered if Offer's 'abrasive manner might also mark a unique, new strategy in the annals of pitchdom.' Stevenson compared Offer to earlier, 'more upbeat' television pitchmen like Billy Mays and the Home Shopping Network hosts and concluded that Offer's 'smooth-talking condescension' was more suited to the present 'zeitgeist' than the 'earnest fervor' of spokesmen like Mays and Ron Popeil.^[12]

Consumer Reports reported that the infomercial for 'ShamWow!' initially featured Offer claiming that the product held '20 times its weight in liquid'. Later, the infomercial was changed to Offer claiming the 'ShamWow!' held '12 times its weight in liquid', then again to '10 times'. Consumer Reports did its own test on the product and found that it does indeed hold 10 times its weight in liquid but no more.^[13]

Offer says that he has sold millions of the towels. In contrast to claims that the absorbency of the towels is over-hyped, he responds that returns are low.^[6]

Pitchman Billy Mays had been promoting a similar product called Zorbeez two years prior to Offer's 'ShamWow!' product. Mays noted that the 'ShamWow!' commercials use many of the same product demonstrations as the earlier-produced Zorbeez commercial. In February 2009 while on the Adam Carolla radio show, Billy Mays publicly challenged Offer to a 'pitch off' between their respective absorbent towel products.^{[citation needed]}Popular Mechanics tested the absorbency of the two towel products and declared 'ShamWow!' was the more effective of the two, but noted 'If you have reusable cloth rags (and a roll of paper towels for backup), then neither product is necessary.'^[14] During the episode, it was suggested that the Popular Mechanics tester did not use the Zorbeez correctly.^[15]

Following the popularity of the commercial, TMZ in 2009 posted a remix of the commercial on their site.^[16] The remix was originally created by DJSteve Porter and uploaded on YouTube.^[17]

In 2020, Offer started to sell 'ShamWow!' masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[18]

Slap Chop[edit]

In December 2008, Offer, who had previously sold kitchen utensils at swap meets,^[12] appeared in another kitchen-gadget infomercial, advertising the Slap Chop and the Graty. The Slap Chop is a hand-held chopping device with internal blades; to operate it, the user places it over a food item and slaps down the button on the top. The Graty is a cheese grater operated by placing the cheese inside and then turning the outside housing of the utensil which causes the cheese to be grated.^[19] Offer's aggressiveness and use of double entendres like 'you're gonna love my nuts' have been noted by AdWeek,^[20] and, according to an Adweek blog, helped make Offer 'the man who could beat Billy Mays at his own game.'^{[citation needed]}

Billy Mays had been promoting a similar product set which included the Quick Chop utensil and the Quick Grater utensil prior to Offer's Slap Chop/Graty product set. Mays again noted that the Slap Chop commercials use many of the same demos as the earlier-produced Quick Chop commercial. Mays said in the same Adam Carolla radio show interview in February 2009 that Offer stole not only the Zorbeez product idea, but also the Quick Chop idea.^[21]

In April 2009, DJ Steve Porter posted an electro-themed 'Slap Chop Rap' Auto Tune remix which grew a cult following during July 2009.^[22][23]

An excerpt from a televised Slap Chop commercial featuring Offer is briefly on screen during the 2013 blockbuster Marvel superhero movie Iron Man 3.^[24]

In April 2019, DJ Steve Porter posted a 10-year anniversary video of the original electro-themed 'Slap Chop Rap' Auto Tune remix.^[25]

Schticky[edit]

In 2012 Offer returned to television selling the 'Schticky', a reusable lint roller that comes in three sizes: little Schticky, Schticky, and big Schticky.

The commercial makes many references to his other two commercials for the ShamWow and the Slap Chop, with Offer saying many of his catchphrases. He also pokes fun at his 2009 arrest by posing for a fake mugshot.^[26][27][28]

An excerpt from the Schticky commercial can be seen in the TV show Breaking Bad, during season 5 episode 7, “Say My Name”.

The Schticky commercial was co-written by the comedian Dante.

Canada Green[edit]

In April 2014, Offer appeared in a 'Canada Green' commercial advertising their 'Quicky Grass' product.^[29]

Legal issues[edit]

Lawsuits[edit]

The Underground Comedy Movie was the subject of a lawsuit filed on September 23, 1998 by Offer against 20th Century Fox and Bobby and Peter Farrelly, the co-directors of There's Something About Mary. Offer claimed that 14 scenes in Mary were lifted from his film. The case was dismissed in 2000, with the judge ordering Offer to pay over $66,000 in attorneys' fees.^[30]

In 2004, Offer sent out a press release through prnewsonline.com announcing his intention to sue the Church of Scientology. In 1997, while production on The Underground Comedy Movie was in progress, the Church of Scientology had allegedly begun a large-scale smear campaign against Offer and his film. (Offer was a Scientologist at the time.)^[8] The director claimed the Scientologists' 'Celebrity Center' in Hollywood threatened his Scientology friends in the movie business if they did not write malicious reports against Offer.^[8]

Arrest[edit]

On February 7, 2009, Offer and a 26-year-old escort were arrested in Miami Beach, Florida after a physical altercation.^[2] The police report stated that the escort had bitten onto Offer's tongue and refused to let go, at which point Offer began beating her on the head and left her with lacerations and fractures.^[31] Police later released photos of the bloodied Offer, hotel room, and the battered woman. Prosecutors later declined to file formal charges against either person.^[2][32][33] When Offer later spoke of the arrest he stated, 'It probably saved my life.'^[31]

Personal life[edit]

Vince Offer married Melody Claire Mandate on April 18, 2014.^[3] Mandate filed for divorce on October 18, 2018.^[34]

Guy With Huge Hat Raps Auto Tune 2000s Popular

• Vince Offer on IMDb

In my last post, I talked about how T-Pain was the most influential artist of our generation. You may or may not have agreed but hopefully you were at least exposed to a new perspective on this topic. T-Pain essentially began the huge trend of autotune filled music that we see filling up a large part of our music (mainly hip-hop/rap) Today, I want to evaluate his influence. Has it lowered the expectations for how talented modern day artists need to be?

This is the main question that arises when people contemplate autotune’s impact on the music industry. In most cases, I don’t think autotune is actually able to override the important of actual artistic talent. An artist really does have to have a creative spark or simply talented. If this wasn’t the case, wouldn’t anyone who has a passion for music rise to stardom?

Let’s take a look at various artists in the industry. will.i.am is an interesting example. This artist’s voice is rather average (for a lack of a better term). If you have heard him without autotune, you might really think he’s just another guy singing. Not bad, but also not that good. So why is he famous? It’s his artistic talent and creativity. will.i.am has a very unique sound and vision for his music. He truly goes the extra mile to make sure that the production of all his music has a particular sound, and that the music videos for his songs are radiating a modern vibe. Take a look for yourself!

This applies to a lot of artists. Take a look at Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak. Kanye’s voice is not particularly good either, but his creativity and concepts that he brought out on this album made this a groundbreaking record. This album made Rolling Stone’s list of 40 most groundbreaking albums of al time. Autotune was used all over this album, but that didn’t necessarily reduce the creativity or artistry behind the music!

Chances are that if an artist reaches a point of popularity by using autotune (and completely lacks creativity/artistry), it is by luck and won’t last long. People easily discover “fake” artists, and love to expose them. You might remember Rebecca Black from 2011. Here’s a reminder of her work incase you forgot!

Black used autotune extensively, and her lack of true talent resulted in a complete annihilation of this song in the mainstream view. The production is also rather bad, and the autotune is not used with good synthesis. Friday was also essentially the only popular song that Rebecca Black made, and it can be seen how autotune cannot make up for a lack of artistry.

Autotune also inspired artists like Future, Desiigner, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Yatchy etc. These artists along with various other’s have formed a new sound in music known as Trap. The vocals don’t sound like anything meaningful and the words are hard to discern. These lyrics are recorded over a beat with a deep moaning bass and shimmering hi-hats. This new sound has gathered a new following, and while it is gaining popularity, a majority of music listeners still disregard this music because it is “trashy” and “lacks creativity”.

But is this really talentless music? I think the idea of “talent” in music in itself is very subjective. What might sound creative and novel to one person, might sound absolutely awful to another (as seen in the case of Trap Music). When it comes to the use of autotune, it is important to draw the line between talentless music and unconventional music . Trap, for example, would fit in the category of unconventional because it is exploring a new sound that hasn’t existed until fairly recently. However, this different sound still has an authentic sense of creativity in that it is exploring a new sound. The difference still lies in that the popularity of these artists is dependent on creativity, rather than their use of autotune.

Let’s wrap all this up! Essentially, autotune has not enabled talentless artists to reach success in music. For an artists to be successful and/or pioneer in sound, he or she must depend greatly on the creative aspects of their music rather than autotune. The autotune is only ever used as something that complements the creativity.
