Description
An idea I had years ago from a comedy sketch I wrote involving a carnival barker. He's shilling for a bunch of impressive sounding, but in reality quite mundane exhibits. There was the Six Foot Man Eating Chicken, which sounds like a huge carnivorous bird, but was in fact just an above average height guy munching on KFC. There was the Thing From Another Dimension which was just the word "THING" painted on a wall, because it was from the second dimension and therefore could only exist on a flat surface. The twist comes at the end when the barker tells the audience about the Fish Tank, which they think is going to just be something disappointing like a goldfish, but it turns out to be a mechanized shark with treads and a cannon. It's a tank that's a fish.
