The best part is doing the accents in your head.

Certainly better than lutefisk.

I was doing Muppets Swedish chef accents until I saw the Minnesota and "Oh Jeez" and switched to Fargo

Lutefisk is a Norwegian dish made from dried white fish cured in lye. It's a dish that is served here in Minnesota. The joke is about the need for a lutefisk hotline (cause why would anyone need lutefisk that badly?) and the idea that they might sell out. Plus the implied accents.

~~Lsen -> "Listen [,]"~~

OlsenFish -> "I'll send fish"

Edit: No, it's just the OlsenFish. The "Lsen" I thought I saw at the top was part of "Olsen", my vision failed me again >_<

I actually phoned a hotline on the back of a bag of salad once; "Contact us with comments or questions". It was just a farmer. They said nobody had ever called it before.

I recommend people do thi more often.
