Gary Busey: Pitchman Extraordinaire
July 17th, 2008 by Joe Bardi in Random Acts, WhatnotGotvmail.com has paid ex-coked-out actor Gary Busey to star in 40 (yes, that’s four-zero) ads hawking their business phone services. The ads, which I ran across on Gawker, feature Mr. Joshua speaking directly into the camera, pitching his can’t-miss business ideas. Gawkers highlights include Agt. Pappas’ brilliant idea for hair dye marketed to black bears, allowing the threatened species to look more like polar bears and sneak onto the endangered list. I prefer his stirring rendition of Gotvmail’s theme song:
You have to hand it to Gotvmail; these are sure to get a ton of play across the Web in the next few days. And for all that publicity, I’m sure they only had to shell out an 8-ball or two.

Best line: “That’s how you learn to put bad dreams away.”
I’m kind of disappointed Busey didn’t kick over his chair once he started rocking out.

8-ball, eh? I must say, several of my clients use gotvmail and I think they would be interested to know that the service also pours your orange juice for you in the morning…haha, that takes the virtual attendant role to a whole new level.
He could have at least tuned the guitar, but, the 8-ball payment was probably up front.

I’m glad someone else noticed that the guitar was out of tune. That drove me up a fucking wall!
And I’m almost positive the 8-ball was up front. All the better to get fine ideas like Bear Hair Dye out of Mr. Busey.
