Why he might be annoying:

    He is the king of Australian TV shopping salesmen.
    When he does Demtel ads, he opens with 'Hi I'm Tim Shaw from Demtel' then uses his trademark sales pitch phrases like 'but wait there's more...but there's STILL more...but I know you want more!' Which is a rip off of Ron Popeil's catch phrase and is immortalized in a Weird Al parody.
    He went overboard with his trademark sales pitch phrases when advertising steak knives.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's Australia's best salesman.
    He's extremely clever and multi skilled in the sales/business/media world.
    He shares his skills by writing books such as 'How to own your customer for life,' 'Tim Shaw's Sales Success Secrets,' etc...
    He has been involved in many charities(e.g., 'The Australian Spinal Research Trust') and has raised over $2,000,000.
    He appeared on 'Pizza.'
    Australia's 'Full Frontal' sketch comedy show satirized his Demtel ads.
