Johnny LaRue Fish Flakes
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Two children creep into a dark kitchen early in the morning to make an anniversary breakfast for their parents, and are startled when a huge green fish lumbers in: it's Johnny LaRue as the LaRue Foods Fish Flake Man. He talks them into serving LaRue Fish Flakes or Frosted Fish Flakes, while a cheery voice-over promises a nutritious blend of corn and fish. The kids carry the bowls up to their parents' bed, but the happy moment ends when the parents spot the enormous fish grinning through the bedroom window, and the father hurriedly shoos it away and shuts the window.
