Description

Judi Dench's Fish & Chips has both dine-in and drive-thru service. It is a popular stop of sightseeing buses, whose passengers are guilt-tripped into buying from the restaurant. Its drive-thru has speakers on two different levels, to accommodate passengers on the upper deck of double-decker buses.

History

When the Simpson family were sightseeing in London, their bus stopped at the restaurant and pulled into the drive-thru. The cashier came on the speaker and announced that the restaurant was "now entirely free of mad fish disease". Homer was hesitant to order, but the cashier begged him to buy something or Judi Dench would be angry: "She'll beat us, she will." Dench's voice was then heard over the speaker, demanding to know who the cashier was talking to. The cashier replied, "No one, mum, I swear.", and then the sound of sharp blows (along with the clerk's cries of protest) came over the speaker.

Behind the Laughter

The joke was inspired by Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, an American restaurant chain named for English actor Arthur Treacher.[1]
