I found a picture of Bill Fillmaff, who is supposed to be a parody of Phil Hellmuth. I thought the name was funny, but when I checked out part of a video, I thought the humor was very uncreative and not very funny.

Anyone else checked out this character?

Yes, when it came out 2 years ago. It did start out funny, it ran out of steam though as it came along.

I still like it! 7 card ball is probably my favorite.

A monkey checking in the dark will always be funny.

When you are worth virtual millions you can afford to be uncreative and not very funny.

I like Bill Fillmaff, he has Phil's mannerisms down, especially the way he sits during a hand and his really excited insta-calls.

the 4.4 180 man video is great

chapters 1 and 5 are gold - nothing else is very good

I liked the one with Goose Hinson and Hermando Benitez.
His raps are good too.

I remember watching them...and I remember laughing during most parts.

"normally I'd fold this but I got the puppy paws"...I loved that video. A monkey playing poker is funny...him playing razz was kind of funny. "Fillmaff just took it down.... ... ..not really sure why"

+1 Fillmaff fan.

The Goose Hinson episode is the clear winner.

For me it peaked at; "I value-check my nuts." And the Goose Hinson was pretty good. A lot seemed to be 'reaching'.

I think my only genuine laugh was his history of Heads-Up results.

The best things I've seen from his videos on Youtube are his 'value calling the nuts' concept. Genius. Also, the rap for his theme song is pretty good.

OK well firstly you're a couple years behind and secondly humor is subjective so you can't ever really say, "FACT: THIS IS NOT FUNNY" because there are people out there that think looking at aborted fetuses is hilarious and also people who really enjoy Carrot Top. There are even people who think Humberto Brenes is Comedy Christ. Besides, I'm pretty sure Bill Fillmaff is trying to be serious so you shouldn't think this is funny anyways.

That being said, yeah, if you're going to watch two videos, the two best ones are probably the $4.40 PS Sit & Go and the Goose Hinson episode. If you don't like these, you won't like the other crap.

Oh also here's a plug for Bill Fillmaff's charity auction for charity!

I loved the Bill Fillmaff videos way before I ever actually began to play poker. Now I'm a losing player! Thanks, Bill!

i thought bill fillmaff is totally hilarious and
easily the best poker parodies around.

have you seen the youtube vids where he's actually
doing a few short skits with Phil Hellmuth himself?

they have a contest on who can be rudest calling
the other player a donkey. and bill fillmaff wins
when he stuffs some hay in his mouth and starts
chewing...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMm_VhUeusg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF_GQI3oxok

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk3Tm0VItSo

not side-splitting-hilarious -- but amusing nonetheless.

oh ... and i loved his rapping when he goes
"i'm the master at 7 card stud --
gonna steal your chips and drink your blood..."
something like that...

and then he puts in that Prahlad rap "poker is fun...
for everyone..."
