Subject: Misheard words on TV

Written By: YWN on 06/01/05 at 7:56 pm

Remember that commercial that says you don't have to be perfect to be a parent?  This guy says to his daughter, "How's my little horse?" and the mother explains that she is a lion.

I once thought he said, "How's my little whore?"

Speaking of commercials, I've got that stupid "super skirt" commercial in my head.  ARRRRRRRGGGHHH....

They invented the word "skirty" which is why it is stuck in my head. 

IT'S SUPER SKIRTY YOWWWWW!

Which is a parody of "Super Freak" by Rick James, more properly known today as, "I'm Rick James, b*tch!".

I'm sure we've all misheard words on TV, whether they be part of spoken dialogue or sung words...in a program or a commercial. Sometimes when I have the closed captioning on during something sung, the words displayed are not necessarily the true sung words.

Okay, recently I was listening to this commercial in the next room, and I could've sworn they were saying "That's how I'm gonna kick ass," when what they were really saying was, "That's how I'm gonna get gas."

How about the "Pussy Cow" for Cal Worthington's "Go see Cal" commercials?

I misheard a Bugville Butterfly Treehouse commercial:

Original: "Now all your caterpillars and the treehouse ship at the same time!"
Misheard: "Now all your caterpillars in the treehouse shake at the same time!"

Wow, synchronized shaking, that's got my money!

This one...

DaaROqaVEl0

It's for Phil & Jim's, an appliance store that was active in southern California mostly during the 1980s (my early years)...

The jingle, which quickly repeats the store's name several times, was so not enunciated, I always heard each instance as "lemon juice"! :D

One commenter even thought so too!
