McDonalds has brought back the filet of fish sandwich. Since I don't usually dine there, I didn't even know it was gone but hearing about its return brought me memories of one of the creepiest commercials ever made... The phone-calling filet demanding and singing Billy Bass fish with his menacing words, "What if it were YOU hanging up on this wall," like something that just swam out of an EC Comic Book!
Give me back that filet-o-fish, give me that fish (ahh!)
Give me back that filet-o-fish, give me that fish
What if it were you hanging up on this wall
If it were you in this sandwich you wouldn't be laughing at all!
Give me back my filet-o-fish (ahh!)
Now that was one weird commercial and it didn't leave ME feeling much like eating, let alone eating a fish. As a matter of fact, the commercial was a little terrifying. Nothing like a stalker stuffed fish threatening to eviscerate you and hang you as a trophy to make your chops water for some tartar sauce soaked filet!
The odd part was that nobody seemed to really NOTICE how scary this commercial was. People went around humming it, watching it, but the words didn't penetrate - even with me - until one day I really listened to it. Then I brought it to my husband's attention. He had never paid much attention either. So here was the McDonald's corporation with some much darker agenda on their mind -- to subliminally sublimate us to amphibian rule?
You decide!
