I mean...well, there's a freshwater fish swimming around with four saltwater fish. Ok, maybe I'm just picky, but C'MON! It's like Telus making a commercial set in the Serengeti, with a zebra, a giraffe, a lion and a.....moose.

hahah- i thought i was the only one. my wife makes fun of me when i get all worked up when that comes on

Heh that stupid freshwater parrotfish ticks me off every time I see that commercial. So annoying!!!

It's catchy I'll give it that.

Poor parrot is going to drown in salt water though

[Moogled]

Hahahahhaha.

Guys, maybe the Parrotfish is supposed to symbolize Telus' liberal support for anti-racism.

Think outside the box!

My wife knows that commercial makes me shake my head... so she calls me as if she has something important to tell me when i am out of the room so she can laugh at me when i see that parrot swimming around....

I am on board the band wagon... i think it is annoying as far as commercials go....

in their original one, they had a trigger that looked a lot like a crosshatch trigger, and if I recall correctly, they're one of the meanest SW fish out there.

i love the ads with a goldfish swimming with the yellow and purple tangs

The blue one they've recolored. No doubt someone said "we can't have 2 yellow fish! make that one..um...blue!" and by the power of photoshop (or some fancy arse program) it was done. Kind of made me laugh as like there aren't a billion blue sw fish they could have chose from but no they have to recolorize a yellow one

This is hilarious!! I just saw this thread – I do the same thing!! LOL!!

Years ago, I used to work at RadioShack in City Centre and we had this “fish tank” screen saver running of a reef tank, with a variety of fish (random) swimming it. Every so often when the screen saver stated up, it would pick a lion fish as one of the tank mates. I used to make fun of it to my non fishy co-workers – “A large lion fish in a reef tank, I don’t think so!”…

Then Harvey came in one day to drop off a ballast (still going strong BTW) and made the same comment. My co-workers didn’t know how to react. Good times.
