Instead, [[ViewersAreMorons it just caused people to be shocked that the songs were allowed to be played on TV]]. This may be why the ''Shark Attack'' episode just has Bootsy doing a cover of the actual commercial song.

*** In one instance in the episode's, er, "climax", James tells Mr. Bucket to get away from him and instead attack Mike, and the bucket obliges. James then comes over and acts terrified as if he didn't just let the event unfolding in front of his eyes occur.
