Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Men:

image-jpg.198549


Made of: A fan, some sort of fabric

Price: I dunno probably like $50 at Walmart

Purpose: Attract customers to businesses (results may vary)

Invented by: Colleen Carol, 1997

Height: 20-28 feet​
 
It costs 130 for a 28 ft. Green one on Amazon, anyway Sub Zero
 
Large phallic object most commonly associated with energy drinks, camper vans, and creepy Irishmen.

Seriously uncool.
 
Family Guy, seriously uncool.
 
These were only invented in 1997? Wow.
 
Advertising gimmick that is supposed to mesmerize little kids and get you to go into stores. Or something like that.

Doesn't do job, or anything, other than eyesore. SU.
 
I find them very, very, annoyingly annoying
 
Every time I see them: Whaddaheckizdat? Whyizitder?

Seriously Uncool.
 
Sub Zero.

Seeing one of those just makes me want to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need.
 
Wha? This thing seemingly needs to stay in America

"It's a trap!"
 
He tries too hard.

Seriously Uncool.
 


Cool.
 
Was vaguely amusing the first time you ever saw one...

Seriously uncool.
 
Look how happy it is.

Seriously uncool.
 
Gimmicks are not cool.
 
The picture in OP would make for a good psychodelic horror painting...

Sub-Zero by the way. Never seen one as they didn't seem to catch on here but something this ridiculous has to be cool.
 
Is there not a formal name for this?

Because I'd like to name it Henry.

Or Tom, or Billy, or Drew, or Harry, or Jim, or Keith, or Jeremy, or Carl, or Phil, or Mark, or Robin, or Donald, or Smitty Werben Jaeger Man-Jensen.

But I want to see one with flails as it's arm style. And since that's unlikely: it's uncool.
 
Pointless marketing tool that car showrooms use to make people think they're fun. Uncool.
 
Their concept is awesome, their use not so much, but I'll go for concept here. Cool.
 
Sub Zero because he looks stupid and because of his name.
