#8: Big Mouth Billy Bass (Released in the 1990s)
We shouldn’t have to talk about how silly this invention is, but here we are. The Big Mouth Billy Bass was released in 1998 and quickly became the go-to gag gift for anyone who loved to fish (which is most people in the U.S.). Because, you know, why not hang a singing, dancing, mounted fish from your living room wall?

But wait, there’s more. Not only does this fish sing, but it also knows a whole array of tunes like “Bad to the Bone,” “Do Wah Diddy Diddy,” and even the McDonald’s Gelet-O-Fish theme song. This fish was so popular that lobsters, deer heads, and even bear heads followed suit. To each their own.
