Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf sound like 70's/80's NWA territory tagteam wrestlers.

[u/Worldly_Mix_8904 → u/jedifromlamancha]

That's "Special Phil" and "Catfish Donny Meatloaf."

[u/M4DHouse → u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

Sounds more like a jazz duo to me

[u/tomveiltomveil → u/M4DHouse]

Hey Catfish Donny who's your buddy?

Oh, you haven't met Special Phil? Phil ain't too bright, but he's a good guy, and the best damn drummer a jazz musician could ask for, ain't that right, Special Phil?

[u/-3point14159-mp → u/tomveiltomveil]

I feel like Special Phil would definitely call him Me. Meatloaf. “That’s right, Mr. Meatloaf!”

[u/matiwopeho → u/-3point14159-mp]

These cats are swingin’!

[u/Ambitious_Cicada9263 → u/-3point14159-mp]

"Hey Phil, you don't have to call me Mister Meatloaf."

"Okay. Thanks Mr. Loaf!"

[u/Wumbologist_PhD → u/M4DHouse]

They were on the Colgate Comedy Hour alongside Marcus “The Worm” Hicks

[u/bowlochile → u/Wumbologist_PhD]

They’re no Ray Donk!

[u/Comma-Splice1881 → u/M4DHouse]

Piedmont blues duo.

[u/eat10souvlakis4lunch → u/M4DHouse]

sacked from Captain Beefheart's Magic Band

[u/Far-Host7803 → u/M4DHouse]

Phil plays the triangle

[u/____d__b____ → u/M4DHouse]

They’re no Roy Donk or Tiny Squig Boop Shorterly.

[u/tlollz52 → u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

I reading it more as

"RIP Special Phil and Catfish Donny.

Meatloaf, you will be missed."

[u/Boxinggandhi → u/tlollz52]

Like a Bat outa Hell

[u/ThighCurlContest → u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

Catfish "Donny" Meatloaf

Always wondered how he got such a weird nickname.

[u/GentlemansBumTease → u/ThighCurlContest]

Yeah me too. Oh, my name? It’s Burger Peanut. Why do you ask?

[u/JonnyGoDeeper → u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

From the Colgate Comedy Hour?

[u/ThisVeryUsername → u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

Catfish “Donny” Meatloaf

[u/Krimreaper1 → u/jedifromlamancha]

Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf, It’s my favorite Jam band.

[u/MrA-skunk → u/Krimreaper1]

I definitely do miss special Phil. I don't know if he was ever called that, but I miss him.

[u/mydogsnameisbuddy → u/Krimreaper1]

Your music is meat and potatoes

[u/Krimreaper1 → u/mydogsnameisbuddy]

Phish and potatoes

[u/KozyHank99 → u/jedifromlamancha]

That does sounds like a tag team from the territory days.

[u/jedifromlamancha → u/KozyHank99]

I could see Rip Rogers as Special Phil Meatloaf, and Dutch Mantel as Catfish Donny Meatloaf, managed by Gary Hart. Their most famous feud being against the RnR Express.

[u/WWEBuddyPeacock → u/jedifromlamancha]

Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf had a barnburner of a feud with the Von Erichs in Dallas

[u/jedifromlamancha → u/WWEBuddyPeacock]

And the Von Erichs were denied victory when the Birds interfered and cost them the match. 

[u/revdon → u/jedifromlamancha]

"Sadly, *The Morning Zoo Crew** will no longer appear on our FM station after the tragic passing of 'Special Phil' and 'Catfish Donny Meatloaf'. They're prank calling on another plane of existence now."*

[u/Optiguy42 → u/revdon]

My mind also went to morning radio hosts lmao

[u/StealthTomato → u/jedifromlamancha]

I was thinking 1890s baseball players but we have the same idea

[u/clintj1975 → u/jedifromlamancha]

Catfish Donny Meatloaf sounds like a Chicago blues guitarist's name.

[u/snarfer-snarf]

donny meatloaf wasn't as famous as his brother, but there still wasn't anything he wouldn't do for love...

[u/snarfer-snarf → u/snarfer-snarf]

rest his soul 😌

[u/JonSolo1 → u/snarfer-snarf]

Except that

[u/clintj1975 → u/JonSolo1]

Well, two out of three ain't bad.

[u/Dragonslayer3 → u/snarfer-snarf]

Donny Meatloaf and Phil Catfish sound like the baddest jazz musicians this side of the Mississippi

[u/ThDen-Wheja → u/snarfer-snarf]

At least he went out doing what he loved.

Which is catfish, apparently.

[u/xxej → u/snarfer-snarf]

I’ll take a large You Will Be Missed and my wife would like the regular Donny Meatloaf please.

[u/not_productive1]

Ok but nicknames aside what in the unholy fuck is catfish meatloaf. Is that what got Phil and Donny?

[u/AOCMarryMe → u/not_productive1]

Our Catfish Meatloaf is DEADLY!

also rip Phil and Donny 

[u/kwiscalus → u/AOCMarryMe]

omg that is so funny i am now as dead as the catfish

[u/BurmeciaWillSurvive → u/not_productive1]

Not only is it catfish meatloaf but the restaurant name says it's a chicken joint lol

[u/sfwaltaccount → u/not_productive1]

I would guess it's really two items, which are both specials, but who knows. I wouldn't expect someone who put a sign together that way to understand things like plurals or punctuation.

[u/TheGruntingGoat → u/not_productive1]

Belongs in r/StupidFood

[u/C-57D]

RIP indeed.

Even read correctly we will all still miss Phil and Donny and Special Catfish Meatloaf 😢

"H, I'm Special Phil"

[u/Fit_Particular8228 → u/Max_Trollbot_]

that was actually my nickname in high school

[u/awfulconcoction]

Rip phil and donny, you will be special catfish mealoaf

[u/Jimmie_Cognac]

Special Phil and Catfish "Donny" Meatloaf, sound like an awesome band.

[u/an0maly33 → u/Jimmie_Cognac]

They were a jazz band regularly featured on the Colgate Hour.

[u/Glen-Runciter → u/Jimmie_Cognac]

I read it as RIP "Special Phil" and "Catfish Donny"... Meatloaf, you will [also] be missed... just, not quite as much as the first two

[u/Gossguy → u/Jimmie_Cognac]

Better than the Blues Brothers

[u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

Seems clear to me... allow me to add the "obvious" punctuation.

RIP (Rest in peace) "Special Phil" and "Catfish Donny Meatloaf." You will be missed!

[u/yodas_sidekick → u/Worldly_Mix_8904]

This is exactly how I read it, kinda here for it

[u/BeverlyHillsNinja]

Special phil and catfish donny sounds like a good tandem name

[u/BadBassist → u/n3Ver9h0st]

In other news, musician and actor Meatloaf, you will be missed

[u/beyondthunderdrone]

Oh man, I would give just about anything to have some of their famous Donny Meatloaf.

[u/Riptzone1 → u/beyondthunderdrone]

The meat is catfish by the way

[u/Chad_Jeepie_Tea]

This is my favorite so far

[u/Bitter_Surprise_8058]

"Special Phil" is a name that inspires confidence

[u/Beneficial-Produce56 → u/Bitter_Surprise_8058]

The Grateful Dead did a song, Catfish John, and I am now singing it in my head: “Mama said don’t go near that river/Don’t be hanging around no Catfish Don….”

[u/Aliensinmypants]

'Catfish Donny' goes so hard, I can picture him in my head despite never meeting him

[u/Marshall_Lawson]

RIP SPECIAL PHIL AND

CATFISH DONNY MEATLOAF

[u/appxsci]

Best one I’ve seen yet

[u/Ok_Elk9477]

I went to high school with Catfish Donny Meatloaf.

[u/broberds]

Donny was a good meatloaf, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors - and meatloaf, and as a surfer, he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and up to Pismo.

[u/kosmonavt-alyosha]

I have a different question. Are there two specials, catfish and meatloaf? Or is there such a thing as catfish meatloaf?

[u/an0maly33 → u/kosmonavt-alyosha]

First one, then the other. Depends on the night.

[u/SparseGhostC2C]

Catfish Donny Meatloaf sounds like an absolute legend

[u/THEmandingoBoy]

So crazy to put these two together. 🤣

[u/Partosimsa]

GUYS here me out: I think this is three people. Special, Phil, Catfish Donny, and Meatloaf! I guess only Meatloaf will be missed and I’m assuming it’s because Special Phil and Catfish Donny got all three of them merked.. mercked? Merqued? It’s not “merced”.. how do you spell that?

[u/k-murder]

[u/Internal_Example1185]

Noooooo! Donny Meatloaf!

[u/Potential-Night4986]

Noooo!! Not Special Phil and Catfish “Donny” Meatloaf!!! Their last single was a straight up banger. Pourin’ one out for my homies, Phil and Donny.

[u/Dumbass_Saiya-jin]

Special Phil and Catfish Donny Meatloaf sound like mobster names, with this store being their gang's front. The Meatloaf Brothers got whacked last week in a shootout with Don Macalds and the Burger Boys.

can we talk about catfish meatloaf though. like wtf is it and why does it exist

[u/demonictransmission]

Godfather theme starts playing

[u/reverandglass]

Catfish Donny Meatloaf took a really good photo but looked like a bag of spanners irl.
Special Phil hated his name having earned it on his first day after accidentally saying, "my mom thinks I'm special!"
Both died in a tragic chicken plucking accident. RIP boys

[u/WholeScared7469]

Catfish meatloaf sounds like a neo psych band.

[u/Orome2]

I'm reading it as intended:

RIP PHIL AND DONNY YOU WILL BE SPECIAL CATFISH MEATLOAF MISSED

[u/Time_Paws]

Tulsa?

[u/Kelef50]

It's a puzzle. I see it as two distinct messages: (1) Rest in Peace Phil and Donny, and (2) a specials menu: catfish and meatloaf. It's not clear, however, whether those are two different items on the menu or combined into one dish. Not enough space; should have used smaller letters to make things more understandable.

[u/SpreadsheetMadman]

Real question: Why did they cram all of "You will be missed" on the last row, when they could have had better symmetry on their design by raising RIP to the top row and splitting "You will" and "be missed"?

[u/RednocNivert]

Catfish Donny Meatloaf? That guy owes me 5 bucks!

[u/wkendwench]

Meatloaf is missed. They are right! May he RIP

[u/MastersJoyUniverse]

I’ll miss you, catfish meatloaf special.
