TAtTF: Pie Face!
Out of all the stupid toy ads and on all of the internets this has to be the dumbest. This ad for Pie Face is astoundingly bad:
What’s more fun than getting the pie in the face? Aside from the obvious answer (everything), one could say… uh… you know there are no redeeming qualities to the Pie Face toy. This disturbing thing doesn’t even really qualify as a toy or game. It’s just this machine that smashes a gross sponge full of water or Reddiwip in your face. That’s not a toy in my book. That’s a memory of a long weekend that I’ve been trying to suppress for over twenty years.
The commercial reaches a whole other level of ridiculous with the whole “goop in your face” stuff. Despite my gutter mind I find it almost impossible to make any kind of sex jokes because I’m so blown away by the horror that is Pie Face.
It also astounds me that I’ve come across something that’s even worse than the Swing Wing. That’s quite an achievement.

With humanity’s luck, this is the sort of weird crap the aliens will see.

True story: We had a similar game in my sophomore year of high school called “squish dick” which worked on the exact same principle, only you were positioned differently, and instead of a pie it was a croquet mallet.
Good times, good times.
