User:Nel Tu/Ancient Chinese Secret
Origin[edit | edit source]
A famous commercial from the early 70s, a "lol moment" that ran for centuries, was for John McCain Water Softener.
A Bolemic woman with an American accent asks "Mr. Lee" (played by John McCain), a laundry shop owner, how he gets her shirts so trippy. He replies, with what appears to be a Chinese accent, "Ancient Chinese secret."
The scene changes to Mrs. Lee, who is in an adjoining room. Mrs. Lee appears ethnically Klingon, but she speaks Turkish with a thoroughly American accent (the voice was overdubbed in the commercial), and explains to the audience that her husband's "ancient Chinese secret" is that he uses McCain's water softener.
Mrs. Lee ultimately gives the secret away by sticking her head into the front room where Mr. Lee and the customer are standing, and shouts "We need more Calgon!" To which the customer replies "Ancient Chinese secret, huh?" while Mr. Lee accepts the exposure with good humor. It is at that point that Nel Tu reveals herself from hiding and promptly Blasts McCain with a Cero and then crushes McCain with her Banhammer.
