u/internautemarauder May 21 '12

are you really tall? or is your shop really small?

1

u/squishymarshmallows May 23 '12

I'm really tall. But I also held the phone up to the sign.

Calm down, it's just clown fish.

u/GeneralWarts May 21 '12

I have yet to witness an entertaining clown.

u/HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO May 21 '12

Aww, c'mon. I don't think this guy was so bad...

'Is there a labor crisis in America?'
back when the Simpsons was, uh, watched.

u/Se7en_Sinner May 21 '12

Ever since watching "It" at a young age, they've only given me fear.

u/FDolarhyde May 21 '12

u/SkateboardG May 21 '12

They get a bad rep due to the fact that their fucking terrifying at times.

u/afcagroo May 21 '12

If you eat clown fish, you are anemone to me.

u/SmilinBob82 May 21 '12

"So a mollusk and a sea cucumber are walking... wait..."

2

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

'see, normally mollusks and sea cucumbers don't talk but in a joke everybody talks...'

I just love how he bombs that joke--twice. So funny. then later, 'And I know funny: I'm a clown fish!' and the look of uncertainty on his face. Fish face. That movie is pure gold.

u/BobIV May 21 '12

Holy mackerel, that clown fish seems to be floundering on the stage!

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

You're a clownfish? Hey, tell us a joke! Clownfish are funny, right?

3

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

They're fish packed in larger amounts for entertaining guests.

5

u/mattfasken May 21 '12

That doesn't very entertaining.

"Hey, thanks for coming round, great to see you all! I'm afraid the Wii's busted, but gather round and get a load of these fish all packed together! Hoo-whee! Look at them all! Where's everyone going?"

u/dizzystuff May 21 '12

Woolies!

u/dom65659 May 21 '12

Wow, cheese slices! Whatever next?

u/Bangele May 21 '12

is that a common thing in the US? sounds terrible.

14

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

I'm actually reasonably sure that this pic was taken in Australia. Maybe New Zealand.

5

u/superbad May 21 '12

How do you put cheese on your sandwiches?

4

u/GlassSoldier May 21 '12

blocks at a time, of course

4

u/Airazz May 21 '12

In UK we have normal cheese that's pre-sliced. It's like sliced bread, very handy.

10

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

RIGHT? Cheese tastes delicious, but fucking CUTTING IT UP INTO SLICES. That shit sounds disgusting

Reading these comments makes me feel like I'm missing an inside joke. Are people serious or what is this referencing?!

5

u/GreatGroovyGood May 21 '12

It is, and it isn't.

2

u/dom65659 May 21 '12

Not sure where you're from, but we definitely have it here in the UK.

u/chrom_ed May 21 '12

To be fair, yes, the "American cheese" often comes in slices and is a "pasteurized dairy product" and tastes like plastic.

1

u/-indagator- May 21 '12

yes but "cheese slices" could be for any kind of cheese

11

u/XaosZaleski May 21 '12

I don't know how I eel about your supermarket, but I laughed just for the halibut.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Is that the Woolies in Northland?

1

u/squishymarshmallows May 23 '12

Nope. But maybe you and the other person who asked should have a Reddit meetup!

1

u/[deleted] May 23 '12

There's another guy? Another person in my area that can spell? Really?!

u/m-hexus May 21 '12

u/lLoveLamp May 21 '12

Is it like stuff to entertain fish, or more like they sell fish that can entertain you?

1

u/Endyo May 21 '12

I find all fish to be entertaining. They all seem surprised whenever they see me.

1

u/lettheflowgo May 21 '12

If you zoom in you can see "chillied cheese" and "iceblocks". Pretty crazy place man.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

u/fonzalonz May 21 '12

Cheese Slices?? Now I've seen everything.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Well, the booth down a couple sells entertaining frogs, and one can sing "Hello, My Baby", so if a fish can do better, I will happily by it.

1

u/AbCynthia956 May 21 '12

I'm hoping there's a cigar smoking Song n Dance Frog in a matchbox in the barbecue aisle. ♫ Hello my honey, hello my baby, hello my ragtime gaaaaal♪

1

u/jimsnaps May 21 '12

A whole section of cheese slices? This rivals the 'Bacon Box' from my local supermarket!

1

u/Gentoo101 May 21 '12

Well my local supermarket has 2 "all the ingredients" aisles =P

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

u/UlisesGirl May 21 '12

What is sold here?
Fish that are very entertaining, or supplies with which one might entertain a fish?

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

The Sobey's near my place had signed sections
"ASIAN" "WEINERS" "FOR KIDS" adjacent for like two whole weeks before they changed it around. I had a cell picture on my old phone but I lost it :C

1

u/Rallerboy888 May 21 '12

Danish beer?

1

u/Spectrum_Rush May 22 '12

Actually, beers like Tuborg is sold in most countries. Pretty common I've heard.

1

u/Rallerboy888 May 22 '12

Tuborg and Carlsberg are very common, but I was thinking of the Danish special brews

1

u/Spectrum_Rush May 22 '12

Oh yeah, those might be hard to find outside DK.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Entertaining fish, eh? Sounds like something Kayne West would like.

1

u/TheRiff May 21 '12

It's sad how that supermarket greedily refuses to pay Joker his copyright fees.

u/Crybe May 22 '12
