It’s back. It will never leave me. I’m talking about this McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish ad, which I’ve written about not once, not twice, but three times now. And that singing Big Mouth Billy Bass has officially proved his hypnotic power over all mankind: At 4:30 in the morning, a New Jersey man crawled through a drive-thru window at McDonald’s and slapped an employee because his Filet-O-Fish was taking too long to prepare.
Does this mean we will all fall prey to that fish’s evil will? Will any of us be able to pass a McDonald’s now without suddenly chanting, “Give…me…Filet-O-Fish!” Which of the 10 plagues should we expect to see first?
I KIND OF WANT A FILET O FISH NOW! CURSE YOU MCDONALDS!!
Kthx. I hadn’t seen that commercial. Now I’m gonna be hearing that stupid song for the next THREE HOURS!
*hums to self* “Give me that falaya fish. Give me that fish.”
you have never seen that commercial? ever? for all time? and yet you are on an entertainment website, so i presume you watch some tv? that’s amazing!
(and don’t say it’s bc of DVR since tons of people have DVR and still know this commercial.)
I’m amazed. And kind of jealous.
I’ve never seen it either. I watch TV.
i consider you both very lucky.
Ahhh!
My McDonald’s asked me if I wanted lettuce & tomato in my Filet-O-Fish
/agree The fact that I recently wrote a three page e-mail exploring the subtle meaning and overall implications of the filet-o-fish song indicates to me that it has certainly seized control of my mind.
You won’t see the ad much after Sunday. They advertise it so much because of Lent and the no meat on Friday thing. That song is addictive.
I’ve even been hearing that song on the radio. And now it’s taken control of my computer.
Along with the gawd-awful food, the jingle is just another reason to avoid McD’s.
The sad thing is that you can actually buy one of those idiotic fish at FYE. My hubby sent me a text of the damn thing. But it is a sign of good marketing when you can get something like that stuck in your customers’ heads (even when they want to shoot you for doing it!)
I hate that jingle. This and the Baskin Robbins rap jingle are the two commercials that have me scrambling for the remote.
Ugh, this and the Subway 5-dollar Footlong commercials should disappear forever.
