Vince brings you the Slap Chop, Shamwow, and rocks out.
I don't know if Cillit Bang's shouty salesman Barry Scott is known in the USA, so I guess a link to one of the original adverts may add some perspective. Lots of clips from Peter Serafinowicz's show are available on YouTube (if you never saw Look Around You, a parody of 1980s educational programmes, than that's worth tracking down).

I was referring to Peter Griffin from Family Guy (or is that the guy that make the Kitchen Gun parody?)

Ah, yes, I am familiar with Family Guy - Peter Serafinowicz is the chap in the Kitchen Gun/Toilet Grenade adverts. He was also involved in Look Around You, and was even the voice of Darth Maul. benryves wrote:

I seen parts of Look Around You but it's always been so stupid I have to turn it off before I try to clean it with the kitchen gun.

Hehe, that was very dry, very British humor, but I enjoyed it. I see there's a whole series of those?
The first series had eight short (ten minute) episodes and a twenty minute pilot. The second (less good) series went for the more traditional six half-hour episodes, which didn't work as well.
If you're into the spoof format, I'd strongly recommend The Day Today (a parody of TV news) and the controversial Brass Eye (a parody of sensationalist TV documentaries).
