Odd Toy commercials.

I'm stoked because on the 16th He-Man will be back on sale at matty collector's website. I browsed the internet in order to find old MOTU toy ads. I saw the Ram man ad.

Ram Man the only toy that has ALAWYS sucked in MOTU. Here he is in all its vintage glory.
Seeing this ad made me wonder about odd/weird toy ads. Since I already showed board game ads in my previous message I shall refrain from reusing ads from that topic.


There's nothing odd in this ad. But this product is prone for players copping a feel, dry humping (in order to maintian balance) and could lead into other non-family-friendly activities. Then there's the darkside of twister... Farters, the ones that scrunch the mat, the pushers...


C'mon! Now not only the TMNT are kidnapping children, but they're showing them through tight holes... (Those poor kids must arrive with a buch of broken bones at their destination... Their reward TMNT toys that look better than the actual procuct!!


pretty straightforward, but this ad suffers from the mid 80s - late 90s toy commercial syndrome. They show the product plain and symple but use a beautiful professional made background in scale with the figures...Such a shame I couldn't find the "Secret Weapon Force" commercial. Now that one has 70% more weird.


Ok... Now THIS is why I play Yu-Gi-Oh! (and training in case I need to save the world by playing a children's card game...) Did you see the ad? The cards can revive me EVEN if I'm broken into millions of pieces... Not only that, I can become a cool winged monster with wolverine claws if I cross two cards over my head... IF I add this...

Pure Yu-Gi-Oh! Winning combination... The odd thing about this one is how kids follow around an animated character... (who happens to be the biggest douchebag of the show) to an abandoned warehouse where they play children's card games... Where are their parents?
I'm ashamed to say that I own one of those duel disks... (THe Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Disk is better (does not damage your cards...) Curse you Seto Kaiba and your beautiful 3 blue eyes white dragons!!!


I said that I'd try to avoid boardgames, but this game had me worried about the welfare of those children. They had to sneak around in their own home to get food. They are completely terrified of their father. They fear that he wakes up or else...
Why haven't they gotten a neighbor, a teacher a minister or rabbi to help them with their "Evil Father". We know he underfeeds them and he might do worse things. He also looks like Proctor from Police Academy...


BAD TOUCH!!! BAD TOUCH!! Now call your parents, teacher, counselor minister or rabbi if someone touches you with these. I'd be worried about whoever designed this toy... I'd be checking out whoever designed the Nimbus 2000 toy broom that vibrates... Vibrating things on kids crotches? How did that went beyond the drawing board amazes me... Thanks to this horrendous toy (The Elmo Hands) now the song Touch by Stan Bush is playing in my head... ♪You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer!♫




B-A-R-B-I-E feeds her dog its feces... wow! I know that dogs sometimes eat their poop, but I never expected having the owner feed the dog poop.


Well there is little to say about this. Sgt. Slaughter in GI Joe. That's just so weird. Hopefully for the sequel to Rise of Cobra we won't have Triple H or John Cena as a Joe... though Cena would've been a better Duke than Channing Tatum.


If Elmo hands are bad, then I don't know what to make about this... I feel dirty just by watching this commercial...


May Prime be with you.

Board Games and me...

As a child of the eighties I was part of the last generations who actually gave a damn about Board Games. Nowadays kids are more interested in Videogames and almost ignore their low tech cousins. I had the trouble of being an only child (and when I got a younger brother there was an 8 year difference...) during the crucial years of my chidhood that involve boardgames.

Now a list of Board games that I love:

In The Dark: This game is not well known but many people know it's more popular cousin...

Connect Four... Well In the Dark made it harder because you couldn't see any of the pieces. Now you had to use your memory and plan your moves more carefully. one screw up and your oponent wins the round...


Monopoly: The Game in which you get to control everything IF Lady Luck and the Multi colored bills allow it. The video is from the "Electronic" variety or Lazy People's Monopoly...
Now this was a Game I was able to play a lot since Adults actually CARED enough to play this game...


Stratego: This game is so hard to find right now. I remember playing it a lot as a child. A strategy game... I'm pretty sure that If I pick it up today, I'll suck like a vaccum cleaner. This is the lo-tech cousin to Final Fantasy Tactics and any other Strategy RPG video game.


Perfection: A game that could be played by a loner... Guy in the ad was a bit creepy though...




Hungry Hungry Hippos: Don't mess with Hippos and their balls... It's like Pac Man but noisier... you had to be careful about cheaters trying to grab your balls. Since it's from Hasbro, i wouldn't suprised if there's a Michael Bay movie about the ball munching hippos coming soon... Probably they'll have Megan Fox in a transparent fat suit while munching as many balls as she can... (transparent so she can showcase her Megan Foxness...) This is one game to be played only during daytime... The plastic on Plastic action makes Adults angry.


The video is in Dutch, but the game is Cluedo (Clue in America)
Green, Kitchen, Rope! Scarlet, Billiard, Revolver! Plum, Hall, Knife! Great times my Dear Watson...


Bedbugs. I even found one of the critters and I haven't owned that game since 1991...
A list of Board Games that I Hate:


Operation: Writer's Cramp how much I loathe thee... I cried everytime I got that card... I think the only time I could pull that pencil out without the BZZZZZZ!! was when I pulled out the batteries... (never play it at night or else you might get in trouble...)
The game is fun but my hatred of the pencil and the loud buzzing the game made me hate this game for a long long time. Also there's the countless versions. There's Hulk, Spider-Man, Homer Simpson, Spongebob, Shrek... If anyone finds a Hannah Montana or iCarly Operation please tell me so I can do this:




Battleship. It sucks when you're an only child and you have the Lo-Tech version. Or playing against a cheater who MOVES THE SHIPS AROUND!!! Great game but it can create enemies pretty fast... YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP! *POW!* I sunk yo face motha$%^&!
The electronic version made it a bit easier for single player games.


Not a Real ad but it shows WHY I HATE SCRABBLE (other than owning one and having no one to play against...)


The Game of Life: In this game if you lose basically it says that you should kill yourself. Unwanted pregnancies, skunk farms... millionaires... If Life was more like that... I was told by the game to kill myself too many times... luckily I disobey board games...

Ready Set Spaghetti... This is just too wrong for words... just watch this clip with the rules.

Monopoly: Why is this game on both lists!? If you've played Monopoly for a while you might know why... Families are broken by this game... Either the extremely slow counter who delays the game even further. The deal-making alliances to screw players over or the sneaky jackass who steals from the bank when no one is looking... Add a couple of inebriating drinks from the adults an dyou know where this leads... (The game is never finished and everyone is too pissed off to play... there is a Disney Channel Edition... Feel free to use my previous video from operation..

and the Games I always wanted but couldn't get:


Crossfire:♪Crossfire! You get caught up in the... CROSSFIRE! Whoo!!
Crossfire! You get caught up in the... Whoo!
Crossfire! Crossfire! CROSSSFIIIIYAAAAAA!!!♫
I guess that having small ball bearing flying across a living room is a parent's worst nightmare... (especially on non-carpeted floors... and if there were pets in the house...)

Another game I never had... I still wanna see the trap live. Love them Rube Goldberg devices. I'm pretty sure at I would rather set it up and forget about playing it...


Another fanmade Ad about a Game I wanted to play but never had. Tornado Rex (or Taz's bootleg knockoff cousin)
