I can’t get no… Satisfaction!

by Meg on July 10, 2008

I can’t get no satisfaction
I can’t get no satisfaction
’cause i try and i try and i try and i try [little arm raises up]
I can’t get no, i can’t get no

When i’m drivin’ in my car [arm does little driving motions]
And that man comes on the radio
He’s tellin’ me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination
I can’t get no, oh no no no [pout into microphone]
Hey hey hey, that’s what i say

Thatisnotfunny

Thanks, Sender-Inner Lisa S.

No WAY! Is Nature BETTER than Photoshop!!!???!?!?

2 cowsharky 07.10.08 at 9:22 pm

(nuff mode) I can’t believe how some people will smear lipstick on an innocent fish and think it’s funny. Gah! (/nuff mode)

3 Not That Mike The Other Mike 07.10.08 at 9:24 pm

Please allow me to introduce myself; I’m a fish of wealth and taste …

4 foxy 07.10.08 at 9:24 pm

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Those are some serious lips!

5 AuntieMame 07.10.08 at 9:35 pm

Someone needs to Photochop a huge tongue hanging out from them lips.

6 stubbedoo 07.10.08 at 9:35 pm

Wow, that is grandmother shade of red lipstick!

7 Monica 07.10.08 at 9:35 pm

Right, I’ve got my crimson lippy on and I’m ready for our date. Just let me grab taxi fare.

8 amyj 07.10.08 at 9:43 pm

Wow, way cool fish – is she standing on her fins??

That is one disgruntled looking fish! Maybe needs a hug?

9 sonora 07.10.08 at 9:44 pm

omg lol! I just about nearly fell of my chair !! That’s hilarious :)

10 debg 07.10.08 at 9:45 pm

I’ve been practicing to be a rabbit for some time now.

11 CoffeeCup 07.10.08 at 9:48 pm

cowsharky…you ARE kidding, right? Please be kidding?

Hilariously disgruntled fish…except it kind of reminds me of Emily Gilmore when she’s angry (Gilmore Girls).

12 Mary (the first) 07.10.08 at 9:51 pm

Yes, Shaz2, Nature is way better than Photoshop! This picture is wonderful!!

13 Erebella 07.10.08 at 9:52 pm

No way hoser! I donna believe it!

14 Erebella 07.10.08 at 9:59 pm

Oh my god, it is real! Even though it looks like someone cut those lips out of a magazine and stuck it on that poor fish. Wow! Marine life has always amazed me, but I have no words for this. I need a drink!

15 Theresa 07.10.08 at 10:00 pm

Joan Rivers has really got to let up on this plastic surgery stuff.

16 claudia 07.10.08 at 10:02 pm

you better believe cowsharky is kiddin, LOL!

wow, it’s like ol Aunt Bertha giving me the death glare when I hid her Bingo Dabbers…

17 jmuhj 07.10.08 at 10:04 pm

…yuz awl yur wel lurnd politrikz oar aill lai yur sewl tew wayst.

18 Brak_Silverbone 07.10.08 at 10:08 pm

Just imagine the extra-deep, I-smoke-6-packs-of-cigarettes-a-day voice: “Come on ovah heah and give your ol’ Aunt Mabel a hug!”

19 lurkertype 07.10.08 at 10:08 pm

not only the lips, it looks like the fish could do the strut across the stage too!

Brilliant caption, Meg!

20 Wombats 07.10.08 at 10:08 pm

OMG! Not only are there disapproving bunnehs there’s disapproving Mick Jagger fish!

21 Mustangsally78 07.10.08 at 10:09 pm

Science fiction, double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See Androids fighting
Brad and Janet
Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet . . .

22 Jen 07.10.08 at 10:13 pm

That is disapproval of epic proportions. LOL!!

23 SoCalSis 07.10.08 at 10:17 pm

From the Nat Geo site:

Like a marine Mick Jagger, a rosy-lipped batfish pouts near Costa Rica’s Cocos Island. Batfish are poor swimmers, preferring to use their strangely adapted pectoral fins like legs to crawl about the seafloor.”

How ’bout them pecs, eh??

24 sally-rah 07.10.08 at 10:21 pm

That looks like the face my last boyfriend gave me as I walked out the door!!!

25 DivaPie 07.10.08 at 10:34 pm

Mustangsally78- LMAO That was awesome!! :D

I’m just a sweet crustacean, from crustaceous Costa Rica!!

Rawwrrrr…

26 Barbara 07.10.08 at 10:40 pm

Ok, no.

there is no way there’s a fish that has a face like all of the disapproving school marm women in 1930s movies.

No.

27 taj 07.10.08 at 10:42 pm

LOL @ Theresa!

28 Keith Handy 07.10.08 at 10:48 pm

Great picture, great caption, and honestly I’m not complaining… but aren’t we stretching the definition of “CUTE” a bit here? Just a tad, maybe??

29 ashagato 07.10.08 at 10:57 pm

the fish has no EFFING neck!

30 cowsharky 07.10.08 at 10:57 pm

Actually, I really am serious. Also, I’m very upset at the concept of clownfish. How dare people take innocent guppies and dress them up as clowns? Everyone knows clowns are scary. And don’t get me started on all those nurse sharks being forced to go into the medical field. Some of them wanted to be poets or artists, damnit…

31 cliffette 07.10.08 at 11:05 pm

My lips are in opposition to the fish’s. Hence it is cute. :)

32 Golden or NTKTOK 07.10.08 at 11:15 pm

Ok.. gotta say it

Gives whole new meaning to ‘fish lips’

33 catloveschanel 07.10.08 at 11:16 pm

Now that’s a geo-Graphic.

************>
This sort of reminds me of the time on Top Model when they had to do their own makeup….

34 the other Brenda 07.10.08 at 11:21 pm

Gotta make this a background.

35 MadameX 07.10.08 at 11:21 pm
36 Flavia 07.10.08 at 11:35 pm

Hahaha.
So, no men or women created lipstick :P
The batfishes did.

37 Jack Walsh 07.10.08 at 11:45 pm

you’ve just taken redonkness to a new level

38 Decca 07.11.08 at 12:09 am

Looks like the poster for that classic cult move “The Rocky Horror Fishy Show.”

39 binky-mama 07.11.08 at 12:22 am

For some reason I’m reminded of the stereotypical grumpy lunch lady with the hairnet, knee-highs and 50’s make-up. Sloppy Joe’s anyone?

40 (the original) Mel 07.11.08 at 12:27 am

Give us a kiss.

41 Theresa 07.11.08 at 12:38 am

He/she does look a bit thrown together out of spare parts. ;)

Weird science,
Not what teacher said to do
Makin dreams come true
Living tissue, warm flesh

Weird science,
Plastic tubes and pots and pans
Bits and pieces, and
Bits and pieces, and
Bits and pieces.

42 DivaPie 07.11.08 at 12:48 am

Oh MadameX that is an epic win! That could totally be a distant relative, you know of the whole other species kind ;)

43 bev 07.11.08 at 1:04 am

“I’m watching you, Wazowski. Always watching.”

44 Lawrence 07.11.08 at 1:30 am

I dissapprove! Whatever you say I won’t like it! No way! Talk to the lips cause this face ain’t listening to you no more! Haaarrruuummmppp!

45 kar 07.11.08 at 1:48 am

And I don’t want to see any paperwork…

46 carol 07.11.08 at 2:00 am

“Damn, I think I overdid it on the collagen injections”.

47 PattyP 07.11.08 at 2:05 am

AuntieMame, we aim to please:

48 Laura K. 07.11.08 at 2:14 am

God, I love this site…

49 curly 07.11.08 at 3:02 am

I usually don’t comment here… I just lurk and soak up teh cute. But I had to on this one. I literally lol’d. :)

50 Liz 07.11.08 at 3:13 am

The Other Mike wins this one. I can’t think of a better caption for that picture.

So funny.

51 Theo 07.11.08 at 3:28 am

Liz — this one was all Meg’s! I didn’t even do the hovertext.
Check the byline…

52 Theo 07.11.08 at 3:29 am

(Other Mike did the previous post, tho, with the puppy fort)

53 berthaservant 07.11.08 at 3:34 am

I bet his mamma was a jazz show queen.

(luv the RHPS jokes, too!)

54 karolina 07.11.08 at 3:44 am

Ok this thing looks like some sort of underwater rabbit. Look at the face! It totally does!!

55 Anne Boleyn 07.11.08 at 4:04 am

cowsharky, you are right in every way and deserve to nuff because clowns are scary and you are hilarious!

56 Stacy 07.11.08 at 5:01 am

That is so not cute!
Is this Weirdoverload now?

57 K.H. 07.11.08 at 5:10 am

Ok, so here is my thoughts on this.

One- that is the SINGLE most hilarious fish I have ever seen. However, it ties for first in ‘most redonk aquatic animal’ category with pimp slug.

Two. The only thing I can think is that she needs some little red high heels and one of them red-and-purple hats all tilted to the side, mebbie a lil’ red purse, and she’s TOTALLY the best impression of my next door neighbor from childhood. Ever.

58 LisaL 07.11.08 at 5:42 am

ROFL…. OMG now that is just too redonkulous!
Look at those lips and that extreme disapproval!
NM the awesome finnage/legs going on heh

59 Hon Glad 07.11.08 at 6:20 am

So this is what Bette Davies, was reincarnated as.

“What a Dump!

60 Subhangi 07.11.08 at 7:47 am

Grumpypants!!!

61 bookmonstercats 07.11.08 at 8:33 am

Obviously a new category has been created – Libipps – and puhleeze include the Steven Tyler lookalike fish, coz I’m an Aerosmith fan (and please find a Joe Perry lookalike fish, purely to make my day). So many great posts, peeps. LOL’d.

62 Ninjin 07.11.08 at 11:33 am

Kyaaa!!!!!1
What the heck is that?
So scary.

63 Kris 07.11.08 at 12:18 pm

Bookmonstercats, just google for a long faced fish with a big nose… I used to be in loooooove with Steven Tyler, but Joe Perry has aged much better.
This freaktastic fish and all the Rocky Horror references are killing me!
Dammit Janet!

64 ButtaRumCake 07.11.08 at 12:27 pm

cowsharky LOL!!

65 Erebella 07.11.08 at 1:51 pm

And God said, “Let there be Lips.”
And there were Lips.
And they were good.

66 ashley 07.11.08 at 3:00 pm

seriously??? SERIOUSLY!!?? WTF

67 claudia 07.11.08 at 3:54 pm

also looks like Mrs. Finster, according to the kids.

http://bestuff.com/stuff/mrs-finster

68 Kris 07.11.08 at 4:03 pm

Add a wig and it’s Dame Edna.

69 Hon Glad 07.11.08 at 4:17 pm

Claudia: The kids are right :0}

70 sunnymum 07.11.08 at 4:22 pm

I keep hearing the Devo version of the song and it’s making it even more redonk!

71 Golden or NTKTOK 07.11.08 at 4:24 pm

Yes.. I vote for a new category!!! LIBBIPS!!!!!

72 AuntieMame 07.11.08 at 4:43 pm

LOL, PattyP! Perfect!

73 Barbara 07.11.08 at 4:46 pm

That’s true, Karolina – it DOES look like a rabbit! It disapproves just as much, too.

74 cioringo 07.11.08 at 5:00 pm

That was a perfect caption.

75 Catsquatch 07.11.08 at 5:02 pm

omg….

Did I just see that?

Are you sure?

:rubs eyes:

omg…

I did just see that…..

76 Catsquatch 07.11.08 at 5:04 pm

Aunt Edna forgot to wax her wiskers again, and Ill betcha she wants ta kiss us all too…..

77 cheesybird 07.11.08 at 5:11 pm

Holy bejeebus. Ze comments. Zey are keeling me!

“He’ll eat nutritious, high protein
And swallow raw krills
Try to build up his dorsal,
His tail, fins, and gills.
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan
In just seven days

I can make you a cla-a-a-a-am!”

78 ThreeCatNight 07.11.08 at 5:12 pm

We are not amused, and do mind the pincers!

79 Czanek 07.11.08 at 7:51 pm

Obviously, that is Mother Brain from the late-80s cartoon, Captain N, the Game Master.

81 Marie 07.11.08 at 9:17 pm

Laugh out loud, Meg…Laugh. Out. Loud! ;D

82 banana 07.11.08 at 9:28 pm

I’m trying to imagine what it was like for the photographer to take this shot. Can you laugh underwater?

83 Theo 07.11.08 at 9:31 pm

Absolutely, Banana, but then it’s usually called “drowning”… ;)

84 lisa-marie 07.11.08 at 10:30 pm

That’s one Disapproving Fish!

85 Mel 07.12.08 at 2:41 pm

Freaky! Thanks for a weird and educational photo. It prompted me to visit the National Geo site and see the other weird and colorful creatures there.

86 shaz2 07.12.08 at 2:51 pm

I am STILL mesmerized by this… The full name is the Rosy-Lipped Batfish. Woooo! This fish really needs some stern-looking horn-rimmed spectacles!

87 Steph 07.12.08 at 6:27 pm

OK, ignoring the fishy (awesome as it is) – Meg should write blues songs. She is scarily good at coming up with good lyrics…

88 Daria 07.12.08 at 7:31 pm
89 Khadija 07.12.08 at 10:28 pm

i knew my neighbour will be on the internet one day..

90 Tobysmom1111 07.12.08 at 10:59 pm

I look EXACTLY like that when I wear red lipstick. I see a fish makeover in the near future ;D

91 Ice 07.13.08 at 2:19 am

OH MY GOD!

It’s Mic Jagger!!!!!!
