McDonald's fish song a winner

By me, anyway. Enough so that I wonder if this is a remake of some old Talking Heads or whatever piece (which it sounds like; one of those 80s-ish groups) that I just don't recognize as such.

The Comcast "sing it slightly flat & very spaced-out" song, by contrast, is so revolting I've actually turned it down or switched the channel to get away from it.

Now it's my turn to be vague.....

I guess it doesn't help we don't have Comcast around here....

I dug the bouncing-egg creatures that begin to follow various characters, just for their sheer creepiness; I was kinda hoping they'd catch & subsume the characters, instead of just bounce along behind them. Are they from some movie I'm not remembering?

Hee! To each their own taste -- I love the Comcast ads, even though I hate their service and don't ever plan to have it again :lol: There are actually 3 versions I've seen -- the only one I didn't like was the one with only one singer (and yes, he is flat and nasal. And boring!) The girl on bike/guy in hot tub on roof one is pretty good -- I like the kid with the "my-voice-is-changing" tones. Although I do worry about what would happen if that big-screen TV falls into the hot tub! Zap -- Crackle -- Ouch!

We're in the process of switching from DirecTV (which has gotten very pricey!) to FIOS, which everyone who has it seems to love. Comcast -- nope!

I believe the Comcast ads are taking off on the opening to Juno
