Parody Comparison to the Real Products - Into the 1980s!

Up next is Bla Yogurt, a parody of La Yogurt. The spoof and execution speaks for itself....blah.

I always like the Wackys where they only add/remove/change one letter.

Yes, as a kid that always felt like the purist form of Wacky. Just a slight twist and something fun comes out.

[RawGoo]

I like this Wacky, but was unfamiliar with the product when it came out.  The 'ozzzzzzzzz' like it's putting you to sleep is clever!

Up next is another one of my favorites from this series - Waffle Ball, a parody of Wiffle Ball. Perfect parody and artwork execution IMO.

I see whatcha did there....

Here's another good one! Next is Greaser's Pieces, a parody of Reese's Pieces.

     I'm sure this one was influenced by the popularity of the Grease movie. I can almost hear John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John singing as I look at the character in this gag! Greased Lightning rides again!

I was thinking the guy from Sha Na Na...Bowser? I wish the parody art had a few pieces falling out of a ripped open bag. A greasy nut and bolt with the outer orange and yellow candy coating on it.

Absolutely, Bowser!  And your additions would make it perfect!

The Greaser’s character reminds me a bit of the Carbone character from Goodfellas, the one that turned up frozen in the back of a meat freezer truck.

Is this the Greaser's Pieces guy as a baby? Next is Muggies, a parody of Huggies.

[roughwriter]

   This one closely tracks the actual product, and the art is good, especially the fleeing nanny. The spikes on the package might've been overkill. I might've used an evil smirk instead of that sour scowl, but it is still effective overall.

Is there anything more to doubling up the “Do Buy It” text other than to imply “doo-doo”?

100% poop joke.

This one is way high on my list. Baby gangster makes a great gag. Top notch art in capturing the original. One can never have enough free blackjacks.

[RawGoo]

I consider this to be a top notch Wacky, and was happy to have it in the set.  Great gags and art, well executed, and the nanny was a nice touch.  But, really, the mug on that "kid" totally makes me smile.

Up next is Mr. Stubble, a parody of Mr. Bubble. This product should have been parodied in the Original Series.

This is my favorite from 1985!!  What a gag, and a great execution!  "Gets you grubby in the tubby" is a fantastic tagline.  A product most of us were familiar with, and a Wacky worthy of inclusion in 1-16, I heartily agree.

[Jean Nutty]

The Greaser's Pieces artwork is one of my favorites!

I feel the gag and the artwork had more potential.  Instead of using waffle as in the breakfast food, the term waffle could have been used as meaning to vacillate, hesitate, flip-flop, and hem & haw.  A confused baseball character (a batter) could have a perplexed expression and the gag could have been related to being unsure of swinging at pitch such as a curveball or knuckleball.  "Waffle" could also refer to the baseball error called a balk - where the pitcher hesitates to complete the wind-up in the correct manner.  A balk is an awful waffle.
