In the late 1930s and into the early 40s, Tex Avery directed a lot of cartoon shorts from Looney Tunes which followed the same general style. In this pseudo-documentary style cartoon, a narrator explores a subject and you then see tons of jokes that make you groan. While they are not terrible, they are extremely poor compared the masterpieces Avery later made when he moved to MGM.
In "Fresh Fish", a professor is going to explore the sea bottom and the narrator shows many different fish which are supposed to be corny jokes...such as the sardines all swimming in a bunch as if they are in a tin and the like. For me, most of these gags fell very flat and it's a cartoon that certainly isn't for all tastes.
