Vince Offer, who is also known as Vince Shlomi, is a celebrated writer, director, pitchman, and comedian. Widely known by his monikers such as “The ShamWow Guy” or “The Slap Chop Guy,” shot to fame with his distinctive high-energy infomercials in the late 2000s. He got his breakthrough in the 2007 ShamWow commercial, where his memorable catchphrases (“You’ll be saying wow every time!”) became an overnight sensation.

After the massive success, Shlomi became the face of Slap Chop, which became similarly popular. It is still considered as one of the most memorable old advertisements and is often parodied in popular culture.

However, the infomercials were not his first venture into show business. Prior to these, Shlomi was active in the underground film industry, having written and directed the 1999 film “The Underground Comedy Movie” and “InAPPropriate Comedy” in 2013. Although he got mixed reviews for his films, the impact he made did not go unnoticed.

A bit about Vince’s early life

Vince was born on April 25th, 1964, in Beersheba, Israel. Afterward, he relocated to Brooklyn with his family, where he grew up. He dropped out of high school at the age of 17, and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

Slap Chop & ShamWow

Before directing “The Underground Comedy Movie,” Vince had been a vegetable chopper at flea markets which he named the “Slap Chop.” After the limited success of the movie and the controversies that broke out, he went back to his old profession. In 2006, he became the face of “ShamWow!” For the product, he would buy chamois cloths for 50 cents and market them in packs of eight for $19.995.

The infomercial, which would become famous later, was filmed on a very small and tight budget of around $20,000 in 2007. Vince garnered widespread praise for his natural sales instincts. There were some comparisons to Billy Mays, but observers said that he was less upbeat and much more abrasive than the former, a fact that many believed made Offer more appealing to a modern audience.

Of course, he has suffered and courted many controversies in his life, including the very famous case where he was embroiled in a prolonged legal battle with the Church of Scientology. But we can say he has navigated through the muddy waters to make a name for himself.
