Bad Ideas: The Oozinator

Categories: ads, television, games, weird, youtube

I wish I could know the story from conception to reality behind this train wreck. Behold the Super Soaker Oozinator! and the product description as found on Hasbro.com:

Air-powered blaster lets you drench your opponents with powerful blasts of water or globs of gooey bio-ooze!

Sneak up on your opponents with a surprise bio-ooze attack! Just when they think you’re coming at ‘em with water, blast ‘em with a shot of icky bio-ooze! Shoot out globs of gooey bio-ooze and then drench ‘em with water! It’s a double blast attack that’ll keep your opponents on their toes and running during every water fight. With the OOZINATOR blaster you don’t just get soaked, you get drenched!

Adults everywhere are seeing this commercial and no doubt fondly (or angrily) recalling memories of the bio-ooze face from their formative (high school) years. This commercial looks like it is straight out of Chappelle's Show. The more I watch it the more it defies logical explanation. Not having sound on your computer might make it even better.
