50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

fish should be dead 5 hours before deboning

Posted on 21 December, 2008 By Wil


I’m pretty sure that voice over is Mike Rowe, and assuming this is real, there’s no way the people behind this didn’t know exactly what they were doing.

    Reminds me of Mike Rowe’s QVC videos from about the same time period. It’s amazing he stayed on the air because he was all about the innuendo.

    Bwahahaha, that is great and I love Mike Rowe (yeah, I think it is him too)

    Aside from being hilarious, deboning a fish like that looks disgusting.

    I remember seeing that on TV years ago. Yeah, it’s real. Never caught the double meaning, though.
    Aww, the joy of innocents. Actually, it was pretty boring.

    Heh. I’m watching DIrty Jobs right now, and yeah. That has to be Mike.

    I am certain it is Mike Rowe, listen to the way he says: “It’s that easy.” at 0:59.

    I wonder what would happen if you don’t wait long enough. I remember, one time, me and my Dad tried to clean a catfish that was only mostly dead. Lets just say that there’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.

    I want one….

    Definitely Mike Rowe. No one delivers deadpan double entendre like Mike.

    So Wil, have you had a Wunder Boner at any point?

    Every tackle-box needs a Wunder Boner! 🙂

    Did I miss something? Shouldn’t there have been little blue pills in that commercial?

    Just wow.

    Most real fisherpeople don’t wait five hours before cleaning their catch.

    I always wonder about the marketing meetings for products like this…
    Marketing guy: “So, who has an idea for a name?”
    Others: “How about ‘Fish Bone Remover?” “Guts-be-gone!” “The One Deboner!”
    Marketing Guy: “What was that, Ted?”
    Ted: “The One Deboner?”
    Excellent! “All in favor of Wonder Boner?” “Aye!” “Yep!” “Me too!”
    Ted: “No, what I said was–”
    Marketing Guy: “Ok, the ‘ayes’ have it. The Wonder Boner. Excellent work, team! Now, who’s got a good name for this fishing pole grease gun?”
    Ted: “Oh, God help me.”

    Wait, so, I’m in a crowded room and watching without listening; is it “deboning” or “boning”?
    …*snorfle.*

    Gee Thanks Wil…. I showed that to my friends and now they think I’m some kinda perv! LOL
    Excellent!

    A. Yes that was definitely my hero, Mike Rowe.
    B. In the beginning, (“I’ll do it!” “What gives?”) I thought he said “Fuck you!”.
    C. That is the most disgusting tool I’ve ever seen.

  25. aeruin says:
    22 December, 2008 at 5:38 pm

    Derek, I heard that, too.
    Notice that it’s not just a Wunder Boner (because you can’t trademark “wonder boner”), but it’s a SPINELESS Wunder Boner!

    Saw this on Jimmy Kimmel last night!

    I was so excited by that ad, I got a Wunder Boner halfway through.

  28. Jen says:

    My dad had one of those, though I couldn’t have told you that before seeing this post. The things we forget…

  29. Quanta says:
    23 December, 2008 at 1:19 pm

    Yeah, that is Mike Rowe. I guess deboning fish is a dirty job. 🙂

  30. Anna Harriman says:

    Quanta: It’s ALWAYS a dirty job with the Wunder Boner! 😉
