Give me back that Filet O' Fish...

:lol: While watching House this week, my husband and daughter broke out in song when that commercial came on. I felt incredibly guilty.

My husband received one of those singing fishes as a gag gift for his 40th birthday. It was funny, we all had a laugh. But later, he wanted to hang it above the piano in our dining room. :shock: I was like, "ummm ... do we have to?" ;) He agreed not to, and just laid in on top of the piano.

I had to take out the batteries out after a week, because my kids could not resist pushing the button 50 times a day. :) Eventually, I snuck it up to the attic. Bad mistake! I should have chosen the basement.

When he went up to the attic to get our Christmas decorations, several months later, he found it all contorted and melted. It looked like a decomposing fish. :(

Maybe I go to ebay and see if I can buy him a replacement. :)

I like that commercial for some reason. The best part of it for me is watching the guy with the beard just calmly eating the filet and bopping along. He's like some escaped mental patient. Also, props for ending the spot with a final "oooh" from our singing fish buddy.

What I want to know is why I didn't win an award. I want an award. I've never won POTW or any kind of award here. I don't even care if it's for like Ugliest Poster, Hairiest Ass, Biggest *****, or whatever. I don't even need pancakes on my trophy. Just the cup would be fine.

You think this is easy? They just hand you one of these prestigious JetNation awards and the accompanying accolades? Forget the years I spent, tirelessly, researching and toiling in Japan and the Indo-Chinese crescent for the newest female talent and cutting edge technologies related to the porn industry. Now add to that a life-long exploration of the comedic medium, and all aspects related to film, from screenplays, to scene blocking, to various camera lenses, even down to the newest craft services strategies. Don't even get me started on my years at Oxford and the Sorbonne as I prepared arduously--and I would say thanklessly--for my anticipated role in the context of a Word Association Thread. Don't despair, young one. With 10 or 15 more years of devoted study, your moment of glory--such as my recent crowning achievements here on this board--will be realized.

That's just too much work. Forget I said anything.

Carry on.....

This ad drives me nuts also...the ad company that came up with it has to be the same one as the free credit report ad. There is no creativity anymore, goofy singing in every other ad. It must be a ripoff of that HBO show.

I also like the NY lottery commercial with Little Bit of Luck dancing and singing, "With a little bit, with a little bit, with a little bit of luck you might win!" Can't find it on youtube.

Yes, jw, the credit report one is horrible.

I also can't stand that guy with the guitar who's dressed up like a pirate singing about identity theft and now has to work in a restaurant. Fingernails on chalkboards would be better than listening to him.

There was an awful ad on TV when I lived in Boston. It was for Giant Glass, and they had these guys with Bah-ston accents who sang "one eight-hundred fifty-four giant" (1-800-54-Giant) so out of tune it made my ears hurt. And they repeated the ad over and over again. It was so bad that I remember it almost four years later.
