Before his tragic death, Billy Mays was regarded the world over as the consummate pitchman. He leapt out of televisions all over the world advertising dozens of products with his classic beard, blue shirt, and khaki pants. In the early 2000s Mays appeared in an ad for shoe inserts called Impact Gel®. The ad proved to be a major success, and one that put Impact Gel Co. on the map as a company. As with any advertisement, the goal is clear: sell the product. In this particular case, the exigence that led to the ad is equally clear: “ankles, knees, and back” aches are everywhere. The ad skillfully targets middle class Americans who often suffer such aches and therefore identify well with the ad, and does so to great fanfare and effect.
