Prediction: 'Elmo Tickle Hands' Will Be Most Abused Toy of 2009

10950 views


Furries rejoice! Andy at NonToxicReviews is covering Toy Fair in NYC this week, and he's just uploaded some footage of the latest in the unending parade of Elmo merchandise: vibrating, giggling gloves that you can wear. We're almost afraid to see the videos that are going to start popping up once these hit the market.

REALLY???

Didnt they learn anything after the Harry Potter vibrating broom fiasco.

I could never buy this for my daughter. When my conservative mom made a comment about alternate uses for the original Tickle Me Elmo I couldn't sleep for a month.

HAH! I predict there will be an xtube video within 3 hours of this toy hitting the market.


If you don't know what xtube is, don't google it at work, very, very, very NSFW

@Jim Topoleski: Seriously, like the next step in every toy's progression is apparently vibration. Next up: The Vibrating Knife and Fork Set!

I don't think there is anything that Elmo could say under those circumstances that wouldn't be hysterically funny.

I think it's a great toy!


Elmo has taught children many valuable lessons through the years.


Now they can learn the joys of masturbation with Elmo! It's the safest sex you can have.

@Jim Topoleski:


I liked the reviews on Amazon. "My daughter and her friends entertain themselves for hours with this toy!"

Isn't this basically a love glove ?

"Furries rejoice!"

Oh gee, I'm just ecstatic. >.>

But yes, he could become the next improvised self-love device of choice.

user-pic

At least the makers of the gloves will be shaking all the way to the bank!

I'm trying not to LOL at work because I don't want someone to ask me why I'm laughing!

@HogwartsAlum: Just tell them you were thinking of a joke you saw on an episode of Herman's Head.

These toy companies need to hire someone who's mind is perpetually in the gutter to review their products. It should be a high-paying job with a lot of benefits.


My resume is ready.

user-pic

I'm shamefully, helplessly, therapy-needfully aroused over the concept.
Umm, the plush fur cleans easily, doesn't it? And does the hysterical laughing include new, adult-themed sound effects? And - gods please please please - a volume control?

user-pic

@Trai_Dep: Err, the gloves will be laughing with me, not at me, right?

user-pic

@SirDanF: ...I'll be over here tweaking my resume.

user-pic

@Jim Topoleski: I really don't want to get lewd, but...

How else will they get around the ban in Mississippi?

user-pic

@Trai_Dep: Within 3 hours of this coming out, I expect to see at least an Instructable on how to mod them. The laughter is easy enough to remove, take out/short the speaker, depending on how it's wired, but we might get some really weird tweaks, such as different vibration patterns/intensity, custom "laughtones," etc. Shouldn't be too hard with a programmable micro controller. You may want to start dating an electronic engineer.

hahahahah..... omg i haven't laughed so hard in ages....
most abused toy.... excellent.... furries rejoice excellenter...


and those gloves are making me wet

user-pic

@TVarmy: Wait. So my love interest will have to sit across the room, frantically conducting the multi-button remote to better sync the gloves' modded effects while I - err - lab-test it?
Geez, how did those kids living on the 1880s prairie manage? Maybe Pops is right: our generation is spoiled.

user-pic

@SirDanF: Reminds me of a Sex in the City episode where someone was discussing "vibrators" vs "massagers" with Kim Cattrals character. A woman picked one up and said "This is a massager", and Kim retorts "Not if you mount it!".

High Ho, Silver!

user-pic

@TVarmy: By putting a sticker on every single item in the adult store that says "for novelty use only." Trust me, I used to live there. It's the gospel truth!

I am totally buying a pair. AWESOME!
