Jessica Simpson recruited her eldest daughter, Maxwell "Maxi" Drew, to help her poke fun at her infamous "Is this chicken that I have, or is this fish?" line from an episode of her reality show Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which aired in the '00s.

In the new ad, which the fashion designer, 43, posted to Instagram on Thursday, January 11, the mother-daughter duo spoke about product.

"Maxwell and I are here to talk about our partnership with Chicken of the Sea," Simpson said, to which Maxi replied, "Mom, is that chicken or tuna?"

"That is a great question. It's confusing, right?" the "With You" singer said.

"I'm joking, I know it's tuna," the 11-year-old replied.

"Oh, me too," Simpson added.

When Simpson was married to Nick Lachey, the former flames appeared in the MTV show when she confused tuna and chicken while eating a bowl of Chicken of the Sea.

“I know it’s tuna, but it says chicken by the sea,” she said in the episode. “Is that stupid? What is it called — chicken by the sea or in the sea?”

This is hardly the first time Simpson — who is married to Eric Johnson — has poked fun at herself.

In May 2023, she took to Instagram to make a joke about the viral quote.

"Are these wings pig or chicken?" the Dukes of Hazzard alum captioned a photo of herself standing in front of a mural, which says, "Spread your wings," while in Nashville, Tenn.

Even though Simpson, who also shares kids son Ace and daughter Birdie with Johnson, is in a different place in her life, she has no regrets about bringing the cameras inside of her home at that time.

"I am blessed that I did have that show," she told Entertainment Tonight in 2004. "It allowed people to come into my life, and to know me as a person, and I owe a lot of my support — my fans came from that because people could relate to me."
