Doom Metal Alchemist Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I usually see far more girls' and even unisex toy commercials on CN than boys' toys, but when I do see commercials for boys' toys, they seem to be getting weirder than in past generations. Today I saw for a commercial that was like a radio controlled car (though I don't know if it actually radio controlled), but it wasn't a car, it was a fucking bee. It didn't fly. It was a fucking bee with two giant wheels that it drove on the ground on. And it could do flips and stuff. Who the fuck thought to combine cars and insects? A couple years ago I saw a commercial for dinosaur toys, but they weren't just any dinosaurs. They were like cyborg dinosaurs wearing missile launchers and shit. This is a toy literally straight out of Calvin's imagination. Girls' toys on the other hand, seem to remain stagnant in the same old baby dolls of the past. The only innovation being that they are getting more realistic in talking, pooping and peeing, blinking, feeding, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this weirdness has been going on for a while now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimModSponges Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Images of the new toyline for Jurassic World extinction leaked mid to late last year, if I remember correctly, but after the New York Toy Fair, we've got massive deets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked play to watch the video, but then I noticed it was a half hour long and just stopped it. But I predict dinosaur toys based on the movie Jurassic World wouldn't really be weird.

Watched a couple minutes at that starting point, looks pretty cool for toy fans. But not weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a remote control wooly mammoth on wheels that did flips, after all. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaBarney Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I don't know I never used it, it didn't have wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as farting toys, but I don't know if you were filing that under poop related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death_by_motorboat Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) gross kids games like, "gooey louie," "toilet trouble," and "doggie doo," are at an all time weird as well. Edited March 12, 2018 by mumbojummie13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip to 3:20 for the largest clip. That's kinda cool, but it would take sooooooooo many bullets for me to get any satisfaction out of that. All the satisfaction of a nerf gun comes with individual trigger pulls. Running out of bullets in a manner of seconds doesn't seem like a great time to me.
