Poll Results 7/15/06

Posted by Anonymous On 11:13 PM

Well Cachinnatees, this poll was a runaway. As if it wasn't a foregone conclusion, Teddy Ruxpin is the creepiest toy ever made. My Buddy and Furby tied for second, and I really can't say that's very surprising either. If you haven't voted yet, feel free to do so now:

Seriously, what Executive thought up these ideas? An androgynous-looking doll for boys? A gremlinesque blinky thing that can communicate with other gremlinesque blinky things on its own? A Teddy Bear that looks like it escaped from Showbiz Pizza, dresses like Dr. Evil, and flies around in an inflatable quilt? How am I not King of Everything if people who green-light those ideas are high-powered Execs making six figures?

Anyway, check out the new poll. It's something we should all think about... even if only for the sake of useless polls. Hmmm. And don't forget to check out Einstein.

Have a good week!

10 Cachinnations

  1. Sarah Said,

    I had a hard time believing that giant, creepy mouse on the commercial announcing that Showbiz Pizza was changed to Chuck E. Cheese. Whose executive decision was that?

  3. Jenn Said,

    When Teddy Ruxpin came out, I always wondered what would happen if you put a Stryper tape in it..Stryper being popular at the same time, mind you..

    Mary Baker Eddy, Emma! I absolutely love Stryper. They were my first introduction to Christian music. And if you could get past the hair and spandex, they were actually one of the better hair bands, musically speaking, of the 80's. I would love to see Teddy Ruxpin posessed by Stryper.

  5. Anonymous Said,

    Now girls, you're both pretty.

    But now I really must insist on hearing stories about popping tires at Starbucks drive-thrus and wetting pants and sitting in it. Of course, I expect you to tattle on each other not tell your own story. Somehow it always comes out better that way...

  6. AmberO at Sleeping is for Sissies Said,

    Teddy Ruxpin was terrifying. Glowworm was, however, the most "false advertisey" toy I had as a kid. That little blonde girl in the commercial just gently snuggled it as she drifted off to sleep, and it softly glowed throughout the night. In reality, it took more strength than my two little arms possessed to get the frickin thing to light up.

  7. Jenn Said,

    I never sat in it that long. Susie blew a tire in a starbucks drive through..she also has many adventures in the Starbucks drive thru. FOR REAL. Pinky swear.

    Mr. Coffee still likes Stryper.

    Susie, I moved to TX from NYC. I'm more than familiar with public urination. That post was awesome. Now dish about Emma sitting in her own pee.

    Emma... I may also still like Stryper. But it's a secret.

  9. Jenn Said,

    As long as you don't dress like
    Stryper, it's all good.

    Yes, badoozer, do tell. I haven't heard this one...oh, wait, cause it didn't happen. (let's not count pregnancies, that doesn't count)

  10. Fork Said,

    I owned the entire Teddy Ruxpin collection. For those of you who didn't, you really missed out.

    Sorry, gang, but a talking teddy bear ain't nearly as creepy as that damn glow worm.
