Really dumb toys with bad commercials

JonT posted some pics said Thu, May 15th 2014 at 2:41pm ET

We recently went through some Seligman stuff floating around to decorate @cettel's desk and happened upon a Myachi:

It claims to be "the original handsack" (...phrasing?) but really it's just a square hackeysack that you hit with your hands, I guess? When I saw it I immediately had to look up this terrible commercial that I remember seeing years ago:

They even created characters to try to sell it to hip youngsters, Myachi Man and Kid Myachi (I couldn't make this up if I tried).

Now that I've stopped laughing, I need more terrible toys with bad commercials.

And you thought head banging began with heavy metal. Think again, its the Swing Wing.

- I have to admit, this is somehow the worst toy I've ever seen, and I've seen some duds

I'm going to create one that's 90mm long instead of 93.49mm. BOOM patent roasted. Lookout for the new Stubby Hand Sack in every mall kiosk this summer.
