Wait, seriously? That's a real toy? It was so disturbing, we
assumed it was Photoshop, but here's a video.
Man, this is not a good start. We came in assuming most of this
stuff was just the result of innocent oversight, but this? Why
does the projectile have to be coming from his crotch? His chest
is free. His abs have a skull-mouth emblazoned across them. Why
not there? If the rocket came shooting out of the teeth of a grinning
skull on the Punisher's stomach, that would be terrifying; as
it is now it just looks like he's happy to see you...to death.
To be fair, this was part of a "Shape Shifter" line
of toys--basically a Punisher transformer--and we're catching
him in mid-transformation (we're assuming Frank Castle's transforming
capabilities aren't canon). And of course once he's fully transformed
the toy looks perfectly innocent.
OK, that's just... that's just horrible.
#14 - Fr-ooze Pop
So, for the second time we have to ask if the people designing
products for children are just amazingly naive, or if they're
a bunch of giggling stoners seeing what they can get past the
marketing team. The Fr-ooze Pop is shaped like a dildo. Fine,
you can say that about a lot of food. But if you lick the Fr-ooze
Pop enough, a gooey substance squirts into your mouth.
The Fr-ooze Pop was marketed to kids in Singapore using a voice
that repeatedly says, "lick it, suck it." Maybe they're
just not as cynical as we are over there? And, uh, maybe over
there penises work differently?
If so, then what's our excuse for...
#13 - The Oozinator
Ah, that doesn't look too bad. Some kind of squirt gun, right?
Well, here's a picture of what it looks like to be shot by The
Oozinator...
A picture is worth a thousand words, and that's good because
actually typing a description of what appears to be happening
to the child in the above picture on an Internet site is most
likely a felony in all 50 states. We will say this though: That's
not water. It's "ooze."
Trust us, it's much worse in motion:
Of course it's pump action. And while we're on the subject of
squirt guns, we guess we have to mention the...
#12 - Batman Water Gun
We really don't see anything sexual about this. So what if you
pull a plug out of Batman's rectum to fill it with water and then
give him a reach around which makes him shoot water out of his
mouth? Who didn't do that on the playground at least once?
Either way, we'd love to see what Robin looks like.
#11 - "I'm Mr. Bucket, Balls Pop Out of My Mouth"
You can't blame the toy designers for this one. But somewhere,
a disgruntled former jingle writer is still laughing about the
time he was having a bad day at work and just to be an ass he
wrote this jingle:
I'm Mr. Bucket, toss your balls in my top
I'm Mr. Bucket, out of my mouth they will pop
I'm Mr. Bucket, we're all gonna run
I'm Mr. Bucket, buckets of fun!
I'm Mr. Bucket, balls pop out of my mouth
I'm Mr. Bucket, a ball is what I'm about
I'm Mr. Bucket, we're all gonna run
I'm Mr. Bucket, buckets of fun!
"No way this could be misinterpreted."
...and his boss didn't even notice until it was much, much too
late.
Of course, that was from a simpler time. The same cannot be said
for...
#10 - Balzac
Who on Earth can hear the jingle, "You can smack it, you
can whack it! Balzac!" and not hear "ball sack"
there. Seriously, take this ad to any English speaking people
on the planet and they'll assume they're hearing a 90s-era Saturday
Night Live parody:
"You can punch it! You can crunch it! Bet you can't bust
ball sack!"
#9 - Growing Up Skipper
Skipper was supposed to be Barbie's little sister, but in 1975,
Mattel decided it was time for Skipper to hit puberty. After countless
minutes of research, Mattel settled on the most factually accurate
portrayal of puberty possible. That, of course, means when you
rotated Skipper's left arm, she'd grow an inch taller and spurt
out some tits. Just like a real girl!
Obviously, the doll sparked a ton of controversy, so much so
that Mattel never tried something so stupid ever again. Ha! Just
kidding! They've recently started producing a similar doll, except
now, she's a skank! That should help.
#8 - Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Vibrating Broomstick
Hey mom, tired of always having to worry about your kids finding
that vibrator you have stashed in your dresser? Well worry no
more! It's the Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Vibrating Broomstick!
This reached Internet meme territory back in 2002, when many,
many wise guys posted positive reviews on the Amazon product page:
"When my 12-year-old daughter asked for this for her birthday,
I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to
LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom
with this great toy... My oldest daughter (17) really likes it
too!"
Mattel quickly pulled the toy from the market, many months after
signing off on a phallus shaped children's toy that vibrates while
wedged into a child's crotch.
#7 - Wolverine Squeaky
Hammer
Yep, that's Wolverine menacingly glaring at your kid with his
cock out. Let's just put that on the table right away.
We realize a whole bunch of you have already seen the above image,
stripped of all context (we bet at least one of you has it as
your avatar on a message board somewhere). But where did it come
from? It's got to be a one-time production mistake, or an intentional
joke, or at least some cheap knockoff toy sold on the streets
of Beijing, right?
Nope, it's an officially licensed Marvel toy (an inflatable hammer,
you're looking at one end of it) and they all looked like that.
There's video proof:
Honestly, what happens when your kid comes home and finds that
his Wolverine Squeaky Hammer is deflated and, in his mind, he
thinks "Wolverine died!" And then the imagination kicks
into gear and he thinks "I can save you Wolverine!"
and he picks up that deflated Wolverine toy and buries his head
in its crotch and blows for all he's worth and all of the sudden
Wolverine is back to life and he runs into your loving arms to
tell you about his triumph and you're like "good job, you
saved him buddy!"
Congrats, your kid now has a grossly inaccurate idea of how CPR
works.
#6 - Rad Repeatin'
Tarzan
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this doll, as long as it's
not in motion. Sure, maybe a crude teenage boy could say that
his right hand is sort of positioned like it's holding an invisible
boner. But when you activate the little lever on Tarzan's back,
that's when the magic happens:
If you can't watch video on your computer, let's just say that
he starts vigorously jerking off while wailing loudly. There's
no mistaking what he's doing. They implanted a mechanism that
really can only do that. Mattel changed the doll after approximately
100 percent of the boys who picked up the toy started making Tarzan
jerk off within about 10 seconds.
We're guessing it took only slightly longer for owners of...
#5 - Rafiki on Simba
Sodomy Figurine
In the movie The Lion King, Rafiki is the wise baboon who acts
as a sort of spiritual advisor to the protagonist Simba. That
setting is recreated lovingly in this toy, or it would be if the
positioning of the baby Simba and the motion of the Rafiki figure
didn't turn it into a gut-wrenching display of child molestation
in the Animal Kingdom.
Bow-Chicka-Bow-Bow
#4 - Dora "Totally
Not a Dildo, Guys" Aquapet
Honestly? Is it us? Maybe there's some other angle where it doesn't
look 100 percent like a sex toy, but if so, why didn't they photograph
it from that angle?
See? Slightly less phallic....
#3 - All Aboard the
Dick Slide
This giant inflatable "clearly a dong" slide turns
up all over the Internet, but no one seems to know where it's
from ("Europe" is as close as anyone has come to nailing
it down). When you see it in action at what appears to be a child's
birthday party, you'll fully expect a SWAT team to come swooping
in:
As you can see, it's supposed to be part of a big, fun, inflatable
train kids can crawl through. But why does the train end in a
giant cock? Seriously, nothing on a train resembles that.
And while we're at it...
#2 - Pikachu is a
Whore
This is Japan, though, so that barely counts. Wait... if you
compare the scale of Pikachu's lady parts with that dick slide...
Man, somebody has got to fork over the cash to get these two
set up at the same event.
#1 - Hang Your Child's
Coat on a Bear Erection
Asian society is extremely wang-centric and 3M decided to tap
into this market with colorful coat hooks for kids. There's a
bear, a cat and a frog. OK, not a big deal until you notice the
top left corner of the packaging, where the clearly-aroused bear
is saying, "Hug me."
Then it gets worse when you see the cat, a sly look on his face
as he and his protruding manhood say, "Follow me." And
the frog, its eyes squeezed shut in ecstasy, saying--wait for
it--"Kiss me."

A listener sent us this photo of one of their child's toys.
Poor mailbox looks like he got a package he wasn't expecting!
