I love a good funny product name, but the combination of the name and the picture on this product sort of scares me. I’m not entirely sure I’d want to drink an energy drink with this name. I’m all for a good old fashioned energy drink, but I’d prefer my energy boost sans boner.
I can tell you right now, this place makes great food and has great beers on tap. When I noticed this wonderful little bit of stupidity on the menu I knew it would end up on the site. To The Grill Next Door’s credit, they’ve since changed the menu. Occasionally it pays to hire a real designer and copywriter to handle this kind of stuff.

We’re not entirely sure, but we’re guessing this wasn’t on the New York Times Bestseller list. And are we the only ones that think it’s weird that the little kid is hugging a dinosaur while she sh#ts? We might have to track this one down for our personal awkward book collection. It’ll look nice next Cooking with Pooh

What makes a great funny product name? Usually the word “Dick” will do it. I’m not sure, but shouldn’t the dark ones be larger?

Shit Be Gone toilet paper. Nothing like getting right to the point with a funny product name. Personally if it were up to me I’d have called it Ass Wipe, but this also works… I guess.
This one was emailed in to us (Thanks to Joel), but again appears to have originated from Joom Gallery
The Japanese are f%cked up. There, I said it! Leave it to the country with used panties in vending machines to come up with this name for a drink.

It’s funny, until you look closer and really analyze the photo. Let’s just say the mix seems to meet the expectations you get when you hear this funny product name.

“…in a mysterious sauce”
Look, there’s a enough mystery in Asian food already, do they really need to play games with the ignorant American folks?
Let’s break this one down. You’re Johnson. You’re a businessman. You take on a business partner named Dix. Do you take some time and come up with a creative name for the company, or do you let your personal pride in your last names drive you to make a really stupid decision and turn your company into a joke? We thank Johnson and Dix – Petroleum Marketers for taking that second option.
And thanks to “Anita Johnson” from MA for sending this one in.
That tagline writes itself: “Bona: For polishing your wood.”
Side note: We’re available for hire in the product marketing/copy writing field, but we’re extremely expensive.
If you include the words nut, nuts, balls, cock, dick, etc in your product name we’re going to eventually find it. We’re not saying stop, though neither are we saying it’s smart. We’re simply saying thanks for giving us material. And we’re wondering who the creative directors are that are approving these names? Holy shit. You should probably see if Disney’s Mouse Works will hire you.

Something about this name just feels right to me. I don’t know what it is, I can’t quite put my finger in it.

Sounds refreshing. Not sure it’s marketable in the US though. Maybe to a select few. Apparently this is cool in Ghana.
This one was emailed into us (thanks to Joel B. from NJ), origin of the photo is unknown (though we suspect it came from Awesomeville)

Another one emailed into us. Yes, you read it right.
This one also appears to have originated from Joom Gallery not sure who or what they are, but if this came from them we like em.

This one was emailed in. You’ve gotta love it when cultural differences go horribly wrong (or horribly right, I guess). Thank you Jamaica.
This one also appears to have originated from Joom Gallery not sure who or what they are, but if this came from them we like em.

Not exactly Pork Faggots, but Homo Sausage is still enough to make me laugh… but it’s a really uncomfortable laugh, the kind of laugh where it’s obvious that I’d like to be anywhere else but here.

I’m at a loss for words. The only one I can think of is “awesome.”

I just wanted a Ring Ding and some Pepsi, little did I know that for about the same price I could get a baby out of the next vending machine. As much as $1.75 is a bargain for a newborn, I chose the “food”

Cooking with Pooh. That’s right folks, this is a real book (I actually own it… how could I not?). A big thanks to the art directors at Disney Mouse Works that let this one slip out the door, not just for the name, but for whatever is being stirred in that bowl.
“Alright guys, we’ve got a deadline coming up and we need to finalize the name… it’s bubblegum… they’re gumballs… I’VE GOT IT!
Not only is it not creative, but how did the “creative” team let this one slip by without one of them bringing up the fact that the name is, well, retarded?
Side note: Name your product “{Something} Balls” and we’ll eventually find it. Thanks Alberts!

I’m pretty sure that if you try someone’s nugget plug without asking, you’ll end up in jail.
I have no god damned clue what a nugget plug is, let alone what makes Clarke’s so special.
If anyone has any insight into this, please let us know.
Thanks!
6 comWhen searching for some home improvement equipment, I came across this little gem.
Sure, I was hoping to find a cheap rotary hammer, but who can’t use a little extra zazz in the bedroom?
Update: My wife thought it was great. God rest her soul. If you want to check one out for yourself go to Harbor Freight.

To my knowledge, Montezuma’s Revenge is the scorching runs that you get when you drink tainted (heh heh) Mexican tap water. I’m not sure the marketing geniuses at this company thought about that when picking this name for their chips. Further evidence of their extreme marketing prowess is that they have shown Mama Zuma as being a scantily clad hot brunette. Snack food, with a name that sounds like slang for diarrhea, which is personified by a strangely arousing hot cartoon woman? That all makes total sense to me. Now if you’ll excuse me, my bowl of Buttnugget CrunchGrundle-Os is getting soggy.
Wow. Really? This sounds like it came out of a dicsussion in a porno.
“Doctor, my throat hurts. Is there anything you can do for me?”
“Just relax baby. I’m gonna give you my soothing organic throat coat.”
Hmmm…I think I should pitch that to the Throat Coat folks as an idea for their next commercial.
