7 Controversial Barbies
Have you seen the Failed Toys reports on YouTube? They come from Mike Mozart of Jeepers Media. Mike is a toy designer himself. He’s got some pretty hilarious reports, from Marvel heroes with questionable body parts to toddler toys that can confuse kids—and their parents. But some of the best of Mike’s reviews are his recalled Barbies. Here are 7 controversial Barbies you may have never heard of. Click on the links to see Mike’s commentary, and the proof!
7. Pooping Dog Barbie In order for Barbie’s plucky little pooch to poop, he has to eat… his poop. “Yes, Jane, everyone poops. Mommy, Daddy, puppy… Well, no, we don’t EAT our poop, sweetie.” (OK, so that first link wasn’t to the Barbie. The second link is. But the first is a must-read!) Of course, there was that South Park episode where people pooped backwards… but that didn’t really work out, either.
6. Oreo Barbie Do you think it’s a coincidence that Oreo Barbie is also a Black Barbie? Was this blatant racism or a misguided attempt at real diversity? The world may never know.
5. Preggo Barbie Actually, Barbie wasn’t willing to ruin her perfect figure with a baby, so it was really her friend Midge who got knocked up. She has the baby, loses all of her baby belly (without any other pregnancy symptoms or signs, of course), and can have it put right back in for countless hours of rebirth fun. Celeb moms with fitness teams, personal chefs and nannies could all learn from Mama Midge—there’s no excuse for that tummy flab after the baby’s born!
4. The Birds Barbie Yes, 7-year-olds are totally going to get this classic horror tribute. And then, of course, not have nightmares about it. She even comes with killer crows—but you have to add your own fake blood. Watch as she smiles and waves as the birds peck her to death—fun!
3. Tattoo Barbie Is a “tattoo stamper” included with Barbie really a tramp-in-training device? Or are kid tattoos okay for fun?
2. Rosie O’Donnell Barbie Complete with stiff, un-brushable hair and permanently-on clothes, Rosie is a true “friend of Barbie.” Ro thinks Barb is a real cutie-patootie.
1. Growing Up Skipper Stuffing was never so easy or so quick. Watch Skipper’s bust line increase right before your eyes! Know of an even more controversial Barbie? Let us know in the comments.
