Toy developers have to come up with enough ideas every day to quench the unrelenting need of kids to have more "stuff". So it's understandable that their ideas can't all be winners, but these toys are worlds below the realm of "bad idea" of the "what the hell were you thinking" variety. Here are 11 horribly offensive and bad toys for kids that make us second guess the entire children's toy industry -- and their therapists.

    How Wet Will You Get?

    When do you ask a young girl "how wet will you get"? When? Unless your under the supervision of Chris Hansen, we don't think this is ever appropriate.

    Enter "Love N' Licks" pets. A dog whose mouth gets wetter and wetter as it gets happier. When you make it happy, he gets wetter, and then that makes YOU wet. So wet! That...well, watch the commercial.

    It's not even like this is a water toy you hook up to your garden hose either, which brings up horrible thought number two: what is this toy really training kids to do?

    "X", As In The Last Sound In...

    This Phonics Bus is a great little wheeled toy that works a lot like the Speak And Spell in that it teaches kids the letters of the alphabet, how to read, how to sound them out and what each letter sounds like in a word. For example, "S" is a letter that makes the sound "sssss", as in the first sound in Ssssssnakes!

    "X" is a letter that has many uses. But mostly, we use it at the end of words. For example "X" makes the sound like at the end of the word... wait.

    I think it's trying to say "Box" and failing miserably. Bad audio in kids' toys is (and was) to blame for VERY many silly travesty like this. There are endless videos of people mishearing certain children's toys with voices, but they all fall pretty flat. For any Speak And Spell swearing, you really have to be searching for it. Same with most of the other videos on the internet.

    This one, on the other hand, can't be missed. "X". You know, like the end of the word...

    Tarzan Toy

    Much like many of the inappropriate toys that exist all over the world, this is one that uses a simple arm "smashing" function that really makes the toy look like he (and it must be a "he" for this to work) is doing something he wasn't intended to (as a toy). There are so many of these everywhere, that it's really only perverted teenagers who see the "sex" in everything that make the toys "inappropriate".

    And since we only bring you the best (and the classiest) here at Ranker, this is one toy whose hand is actually in the right position. And its basically naked. The fact that this is one of the toy's only functions is absolutely ridiculous (and a little hilarious). How could they not have seen this?!

    If the design was for Tarzan to pound his chest (you know, like he's actually known for), then it's a double fail.

    Don't ponder the reasoning behind this, because you'll just end up with a headache on top of your dirty mind.

    Apparently no one on the Disney product check department really cares about the gestures of their toys... as really solidified in item #11.

    Rapping Frog

    Kids sing all sorts of songs without realizing what the lyrics actually mean, but this is just ridiculous.

    Who would hear this 50 Cent song and take it at face value?

    This song is about as much about candy as Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" is about dancing. "Oh, it's about candy, and that's all. Let's shove it inside a hip-hop (boo) frog!"

    The real question is, does 50 Cent get royalties every time someone turns on the toy?

    Here are the lyrics from 50 Cent's "Candy Shop" that this candy-holding frog "sings":

    [50 Cent]
    I'll take you to the candy shop
    I'll let you lick the lollipop
    Go 'head girl, don't you stop
    Keep going 'til you hit the spot (woah)

    [Female Voice]
    I'll take you to the candy shop
    Boy one taste of what I got
    I'll have you spending all you got
    Keep going 'til you hit the spot (woah)

    Mr. Bucket

    This toy first appeared in 1993, and even a seven year old could tell something wasn't right with it. It's not clear what Hasbro was thinking when they dreamed this up, but here's the likely evolution of it.

    Name: Mr. Bucket (fine) => Catchphrase: Buckets of fun (genius) => Function and appearance: You toss balls into the top, (okay?) and the balls get spit out his mouth (WTF?!?).

    As of a few years ago the toy has been officially discontinued, but for about a decade no one bothered to tell the toy makers that they should investigate; probably because it was way too funny.

    all u adults need to find something better to do with ur time instead of turning childrens games into dirty things.i am a parent and i have used many of these toys growing up also.children dont see things as u perverted adults do.the bucket of balls game was an all time favorite at childrens partys.i could go on forever on the toys and how ur perverted mind has turned them into way more then they were the wolverine toy was printed b4 the spigot was put in and it was the best location for it so.,as adults grow up children want a toy thats fun and keeps them busy.the 50cent turtle i agree with but out of the 11 i saw the other 10 were jus bored adults lookin to try and be somebody by makin a fuss outta nothing.and fyi i heard box not sex!!!

    that is disgusting, what are they trying to teach these kids?? but my bigger concern is that if these people think that this is 'appropiate' for kids to be playing with. how far will they actually go with the next toy they make?? for all we know it could be barbie and ken having sex.....it's extremly inappropriate, and needs to stop now before it gets more out of control!!!!

    the last one I saw as a kid and thought that looked fun, I don't see the anyhting inaproperiate. That one is just trying to make something abstract sexual. Like yeah "balls" come out of his mouth. If the little balls look like hairy raisins then yes I'd say that is inapproitae.

    The one I think is top notch is the oozinator that is hillarious.

    At a sleepover when I was about 13, my cousin's cousin and I lay awake for hours, giggling hysterically and singing the jingle back and forth to each other: "I'm Mr. Bucket! The balls pop out of my mouth!" Goooooood times.

    Just because some adults giggle at the word "balls" doesn't make actual balls inappropriate! What are we supposed to call them? Spherical toys?

      To be honest, think about it; When he asks for them to call it something else, there' pretty much nothing else to call a ball. So, everyone's just gotta deal with Elmo Loves Balls, and then people just have twisted minds, using messed up slang to make toys seem bad for children.

    I used to have that rapping frog. They actually came out with a line of them with different rapping characters. A year ago, I had a yard sale and the rapping frog was one of the first items to sell. There's plenty of goof-heads like me. But yeah, the rapping frog wasn't the only one. Like I said, there were more rapping animals in that series.
