What?! How could I have missed WBQotW #50 without having some kind of celebration?! BAH! I blame the Holidays.
Can you believe it? #52 quips (in much more than 52 weeks because your host tends to get preoccupied … or … well … absent minded).
This week’s quip hails from a well known 80’s TV commercial. I’ve actually seen Mrs. Fletcher resurrected in a new ad not too long ago. My relationship with Mrs. Fletcher blossomed when Dr. Demento played a song about here back in the mid 90’s.
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!
– Mrs. Fletcher
In researching this post, I found that Mrs. Fletcher is more famous than I thought. You can read about her on Wikipedia. This quip has run the gamut from Johnny Carson to Star Wars: Phantom Menace. Who knew that Mrs. Fletcher’s catch phrase would reach to galaxies far far away?
I tried to find the song, or even the lyrics, that played on Dr. Demento with no luck. Any net sleuths feel up to the challenge?
