Why he might be annoying:

    He had a gawky look and wore a wacky bow-tie.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Even after he sold the company to Hunt-Wesson, he continued not only as spokeperson, but as a contributor to the credibility of his product.
    He worked on getting the most popability (kernels that pop) in the microwave.
    He figured out that moisture inside the kernel gives it a better chance of popping.
    He was a popcorn genius.
