      How i think Soviet Leaders would have liked Big Mouth Billy Bass (assuming it was in its current form during their tenure):

      Lenin: Bemused, slightly curious, but likely left in a guest room to entertain guests.

      Stalin: uninterested after the first use, would rather it play western movie music.

      Khruschev: Big fan, would show it to everyone the moment they walked into his office (including regular visitors, much to their chagrin).

      Brezhnev: has 12.

      Andropov: Not a fan, finds it annoying and likely throws it in the trash as soon as he can find one.

      Chernenko: Never got the chance to be shown one.

      Gorbachev: had one installed in his private Pizza Hut booth.

    I once found a really niche, deep-youtube channel of a person who was a consumer-animatronic enthusiast who collected and refurbished mostly Big Mouth Billy Bass.

    At first I thought it was satire but the person genuinely knew their different editions with different features and would collect and refurbish them. They seemed to be part of a small community of animatronic enthusiasts and it was like peering into another world. I thought it was neat and it was really nice to see that they had found their people and what brought them joy in life.
