Trivia[]
- Anthony (the character interviewed in the first infomercial) was originally supposed to be a flamboyant gay man, another gay joke that would've been referenced. Also Anthony's original lines said "Now I can use the shammy to clean off my face" in a flamboyant voice, suggesting ejaculated semen being involved in the sex or masturbation joke.
- Krista Olson, the voice actress for Sayla Mass makes a cameo in Shammy: The Ultimate Sucky Towel.
- The towels from the One Gay Sucky Family pack individually represent the colors from the original gay pride flag. On the new website for the Shammies, the towels specifically come in "Sunlight Yellow", "Life Red", "Serenity Blue" and "Loving Pink" with the inclusion of "Shammy Orange".
- Despite Shammy as well as the Shammy Guy being based off of Vince Offer and the ShamWow, the commercials take on a similar style to infomercials featuring the late Billy Mays.
- Only in the new Shammy commercial, the phone number at the end is 1-800-555-7825, the last four numbers can be deciphered to spell SUCK.
