What is this stuffed... thing?

July 29, 2013 2:48 PM

I've had this stuffed object for many years, since a mystified housemate passed it along to me. No clue what it is supposed to represent. Does it look representative of anything in particular to anyone?

Makes me think of a cartoony/plush representation of a piece of technical equipment.

A tooth and a tube of toothpaste?

Some kind of oil can?

Looks more like dentist equipment than a toothbrush. Particularly given the sadface on the 'tooth'.

Does the longish thing come off or is it sewn on?

Best answer: Welp, I've got the same thing, or my wife does I mean. It's the gun that squirts Jelly from the Island of Misfit toys from the best movie ever, Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Best answer: Here's an image to back up Potomac (of the gun from the movie, not his wife's plush toy)

Found him on ebay if you want to buy him a twin.

But whatever you do, just don't throw him away :C

It looks like a gas pump to me.

Response by poster: Yow, I think Potomac Avenue has it! Different color, but a very similar shape. I am in awe.

Aw, it's cute!

I thought it was an ice cream bar that was unhappy after having had a bite taken out of it, with a combination hot pepper / dildo welded to its head.

I need help.

Shucks, I was thinking it was a slice of bread (with a bite out of it) holding a hot pepper overhead.

I think I need help, too, crazylegs.

I was thinking it was a chipped tooth with a dentist's scraping thingy on top of it. Funny what the mind comes up with.

What a random thing to have a toy of. Almost seems like it should be part of a set.

I thought it was a stick of dynamite and a raw steak - because you always cook steak with dynamite?
