[Jahgee]

It costs 130 for a 28 ft. Green one on Amazon, anyway Sub Zero

 

[Roger the Horse]

Large phallic object most commonly associated with energy drinks, camper vans, and creepy Irishmen.

Seriously uncool.

 

[Parker]

Family Guy, seriously uncool.

 

[Lizard]

These were only invented in 1997? Wow.

 

[Blitz24]

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.

 

[AlvaroF]

I find them very, very, annoyingly annoying

 

[titleguy1]

Every time I see them: Whaddaheckizdat? Whyizitder?

Seriously Uncool.

 

[Adamgp]

Sub Zero.

Seeing one of those just makes me want to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Wha? This thing seemingly needs to stay in America
SU

 

[Blitz24]

Sub Zero.

Seeing one of those just makes me want to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need.

"It's a trap!"

 

[niky]

He tries too hard.

Seriously Uncool.

 

[JMoney]

Cool.

 

[The Bman]

Moments like these are why the inflatable tube man gets saved from a Seriously Uncool.

Still Uncool.

 

[TheCracker]

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

Seriously uncool.

 

[Legro]

Look how happy it is.

Seriously uncool.

 

[yabiggoose]

SZ

I find them amusing

 

[AudiMan2011]

Gimmicks are not cool.

 

[Lucas]

Sub-Zero, I always chuckle when I see them somewhere.

 

[Jet Badger]

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.

Sub Zero

 

[GranTurismo916]

Seriously uncool, it's child propaganda.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

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.

 

[axletramp]

Pointless marketing tool that car showrooms use to make people think they're fun. Uncool.

 

[Cano]

Their concept is awesome, their use not so much, but I'll go for concept here. Cool.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Sub Zero because he looks stupid and because of his name.
