Fail toys and games

[Terring 6,473]

Not all games and toys made for children are actually for children. Some of them have controversial theme or details, other are disgusting and some are so stupid that doesn't make any sense at all. Here are a few examples:

 

And yes, there are even worse games and toys out there...

Any of the toys you can find in one of those 99 cents stores ("the Chinese shops" in Spain) can be as fail-ey as what you have shown. A few examples:

 

 

 

(I'm seriously ROFLing at this one!   Darth Vader in a police motorbike, seems totally legit).

Darth Vader in a motorcycle?

Great pictures TekindusT Had a bit of a chuckle when I saw them.

Speaking of toys....

 

Here are some pointless toys I've (to this date) ever seen

 

Smash Yo Face

 

Crush-a-Cat

[Terring 6,473]

The last one must be the most hideous, the most disgusting, the most horrible toy (if you can consider it as a toy) ever made. Whoever came up with this should be run over by 1,000 cars and his guts should be pissed by all cats and dogs all over the world. THIS IS NOT FUNNY!

[Roman_Samudra 213]

I try to post something, but I regret that...

 

Sorry about the cat thing

[Terring 6,473]

Is this a joke? It's not as disgusting as the dead cat toy, but what were they smoking?

[Roman_Samudra 213]

No, that's not a joke, that's a real toy I once found in Jatinegara Market in Jakarta, complete with that supposedly "funny" banner.

 

Oh, God, the humanity....

 

Again sorry Terring, also I deleted that post about the golden " male golf stick", since I think that was too far

Couldn't find a picture, but there was a joke toy you could hang outside the trunk (boot) lid which appeared to be the hind quarters of a cat supposedly bisected by closing the door.  I think the toy name was "Cat's ass trophy."

 

There was also a running cartoon series on "1000 things you can do with a dead cat".  None of them very funny and some of them shocking.

 

My wife was a cat fancier.  At one point we had five.  I stuck to dogs, maximum two.

Spotted this one in Japan.

Here's one that I think is appropriate for this thread. This is a board game called The Grape Escape.

 

 

There are several things wrong with this picture. Firstly the name. The Grape Escape is an obvious pun on The Great Escape. What kid is going to understand that the name of the game is similar to a movie about prisoners of war?

 

Secondly, just the idea of having a character of the game getting chopped or crushed in the most nasty ways imaginable. Isn't one of the joys of playing a board game pretending to be actually in it? I really doubt kids will take kindly to a game that shows their representing piece being maimed and brutally killed.

I used to play with lizards cos i was poor. I got bored with sadistic stuff cos they all reacted the same. Then i bought simcity. Much better.

It's called the R-Zone. Think of those cheap two bit video games where the background is the same and the animations are cells that light up to give the illusion of movement. The type of game that you'd find at a Dollar Store, flea market or if you're lucky in a cereal box (Which is where I got one of this type of game. It was as a promotion for Shark Tale and the little turd was hardly playable).

Now imagine a game like that as a lens in front of your eye and attached to your head with a strap.  That's the R-Zone. I saw this on an AVGN episode and then watch some other reviews on it. I can't imagine how this could be any good.

^ something wrong with that link.  Lacks an address.

[airman15 4,111]

Should be fixed now. I have gotten into a habit where I just copy the image and paste it. It's worked for me before when I host pictures on Imgur.
