Yeah I bought it without thinking. My initials are E.T. and I’ve felt a connection to this guy since I was a kid. I also really like Reese’s Pieces. Now I’ll go back and try to figure out what the hell I just bought.
Edit: Still not sure what I bought, but I was the first order. Also not sure if that’s a good thing.
@sammydog01
THANK GOODNESS FOR YOUR POST! We’re doing the same thing here and I promised for every 1 thing I bring in 2 things must leave. IDK though, HE’S SOOOOOO CUTE! I could say it’s a gift, that’s been working. Maybe it’ll sell out while I procrastinate… Yeah, that’s what I’ll hope for!
@Lynnerizer@sammydog01
I found companies (like good will) in my state that will come to your house and pick up your crap and you can choose the organization it goes to. In the past few months I’ve probably offloaded 75 boxes (which is nothing to the amount of boxes I’ve offloaded in the past).
@Bretterson I feel your pain. My wife is also terrified of E.T. and gets angry if anyone even mentions it. If I didn’t like her, this would be such a perfect gift…
OMG I’m so happy to see this. Part of me is wondering why the heck Meh is selling a plush for a movie from 1982 but also I’m glad it’s not yet another USB or LED gizmo.
@phendrick@zippyus
No, that man child baby IS ugly, in fact, he’s FUGLY UGLY! As in the face ONLY his mother could love! Lol
That’s actually not true and I felt guilty saying it. So I edited to say EVERYONE IS LOVEABLE!
@blaineg@heartny@Kyeh Very good point. Unfortunate oversight on my part. Though there are so many yummy Mexican treats that deserve a spot at table (and some pretty strange ones)
@mediocrebot Nice, but I’m not quite ready to surrender my future dessert choices to our new robotic overlords based on it. The first dessert selection (esp the gateaux and parfait) - I was on the fence. Bleep Bloop, I’ll have another slice, please. (But what if New Mexico desserts taste like deserts? )

There are no words.
@Zott “No”.
@blaineg well, there’s one.
@Zott And then I went and bought it. But as a revenge prank.
/showme a website that lost a bet and had to sell a weird item
@mediocrebot Too many of the products here have been ufflutvena.
@mediocrebot @werehatrack “Buy now”
@mediocrebot I want that!
WAT DAFUQ??

@OON7 I was going to say, but who? And here you are! I love it
@OON7
@OON7 @sammydog01 When she held the Original and QVC exclusive side by side all I could think of was twins!
@iggy71 @OON7 @sammydog01
She said “salivations”???
Yes exactly. Definitely a Duse o a wan obulited.
Thanks I hate it. Now to sleep and have nightmares.
what the fuck
I’m in the midst of decluttering my house. Bag after bag of trash, carloads to goodwill. So I guess I have room for this?

Have these been properly aged in a landfill like that other related item?
@ShotgunX I’m more confused that they’re still selling merch for movies that old. Are they going to desecrate another corpse with a crap sequel?
I got the reference @ShotgunX
@ShotgunX I’m just happy they finally got right down to it and proved once and for all that it wasn’t just an urban myth!

@narfcake @phendrick @PooltoyWolf @ShotgunX Subtle. Didn’t catch the ears at first.
@narfcake @PooltoyWolf @ShotgunX Some sort of hybrid?
@narfcake @PooltoyWolf @ShotgunX And this is what we still do to this day (probably in the dirt of another country)
My ex-girlfriend is terrified of E.T…
Unfortunately, we’re on good terms.
@Bretterson Yeah, I was considering if it was worth 20 to leave this somewhere to troll someone. But no, no it is not.
Irk food for sure.
@EvilSmoo Irk would probably be a more convincing troll and he’s currently $20 at SideDeal
@Bretterson I feel your pain. My wife is also terrified of E.T. and gets angry if anyone even mentions it. If I didn’t like her, this would be such a perfect gift…
@Bretterson @EvilSmoo Oh, yes! I know exactly who I need to troll!
@Bretterson @EvilSmoo For no particular reason, does Meh ship anonymously?
@blaineg @Bretterson @EvilSmoo
I don’t think so but you could
Honestly, this is a top tier Meh offering.
OMG I’m so happy to see this. Part of me is wondering why the heck Meh is selling a plush for a movie from 1982 but also I’m glad it’s not yet another USB or LED gizmo.
@FightingMongoos
@blaineg @FightingMongoos That is indeed an LED Gizmo
this is half a perfect Halloween costume.
Could be worse. Could be a Mac and Me plush.
/giphy mac and me
@zippyus
IDK, they’re pretty cute too!
@Lynnerizer @zippyus Cute, like an ugly baby?
/giphy ugly baby
@Lynnerizer @phendrick @zippyus I hope meh sells that baby mask in an upcoming mehrathon.
@phendrick @zippyus
As in the face ONLY his mother could love! Lol 
No, that man child baby IS ugly, in fact, he’s FUGLY UGLY!
That’s actually not true and I felt guilty saying it. So I edited to say EVERYONE IS LOVEABLE!
What is this trash product
@dpease It is an E.T. interactive plush with basket & blanket
@agnesnutter thank you Agnes, appreciate it
@dpease anytime 🫡
Ellllliott…pull my finger
Might’ve been paired with a Drew Barrymore plush, so there’s that, for better or worse.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
the design ethic of this product suggests that it was manufactured recently
… why?
@visioneer_one 40th anniversary
I think I may get this to make my adult son think I’ve lost it and reverted to my second childhood.
ET was released the year I was born. That means parents who bought an original ET plush at the time are now in their sixties and seventies.
@Shoebox23
(Or even their 50’s)
I bet ANYONE who bought it back then is in their 60’s or 70’s whether they’re parents or not!
Lol
Why would anyone in this day and age want this?
Just bury it in the Nevada desert.
@AaronLeeJohnson I got to reference. It’s alluding to the ET Atari game that was over produced and bombed.
@AaronLeeJohnson @sudynim Wrong desert.
@blaineg @sudynim Yeah, it’s the Mojave Desert.
@AaronLeeJohnson @blaineg @sudynim It was in New Mexico.
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/04/landfill-excavation-unearths-years-of-crushed-atari-treasure/
@AaronLeeJohnson @narfcake @sudynim Yep.
@AaronLeeJohnson @blaineg @narfcake @sudynim
/showme a New Mexico Dessert
@mediocrebot Sigh. Even /showme is spellchecking me.
@mehcuda67 You were hoping for some dessert?
@mediocrebot
/showme a New Mexico parfait, an New Mexico eclair and a New Mexico gateaux.
@mediocrebot I’m so happy! Now I’m hungry.
@mehcuda67 Too pretty to eat
@heartny Well since @blaineg said ‘Wrong desert’ I thought I’d fix it.
@blaineg @heartny @mehcuda67 No sopapillas?
@blaineg @heartny @Kyeh Very good point. Unfortunate oversight on my part. Though there are so many yummy Mexican treats that deserve a spot at table (and some pretty strange ones)
/showme a New Mexico sopapilla
@mediocrebot Huh. Experiment time… (crossing AI fingers)
/showme a New Mexico parfait, an New Mexico eclair, a New Mexico gateaux and a New Mexico sopapilla.
@mediocrebot Nice, but I’m not quite ready to surrender my future dessert choices to our new robotic overlords based on it. The first dessert selection (esp the gateaux and parfait) - I was on the fence. Bleep Bloop, I’ll have another slice, please. (But what if New Mexico desserts taste like deserts?
)
@mediocrebot @mehcuda67
These look pretty nice:
There’s a reason it’s on meh…
What year is this?
@vodyanoi
It’s Monday, November 11, 2024! All day! And yes, you’re welcome!
BTW, have a wonderful day!
@Lynnerizer @vodyanoi I’d like to thank our veterans on this day.
This would make the best IRK item
Having that Irk Stuffie thing on Side Deal for the same price seems to be trying to suggest this E.T. could be a great value.
@richrauch Irk vs. ET: battle to the death!
/showme Irk Stuffie battling E.T.
NOPE
I hate it. I hate it so much.
I actually came in to ask where the joke image was.
I looked back at the last image.
I remain unconvinced that’s the joke image.
Kansas REALLY likes E.T. apparently.
Did they do a remake I don’t know about? I figure the only kid who’d enjoy this hooded monster are those in their 40s.
In the morning email, I legitimately thought the ET was the Photoshop on the picture for this and that y’all had motorbikes.
Prank ordered. He deserves it, he really does.
My dear brother-in-law sent me this anonymously a few months back. It came in a thoroughly smashed box, but was unscathed.
How’s this for some random surreality?
He didn’t confess for a few days.
@blaineg I would hang that in my living room.
@blaineg Seems truly deserving! Of course, he’ll know who’s responsible.
@sammydog01 SWMBO vetoed that idea, but it is hanging proudly in my cubicle.
It’s autographed too! But I can’t read it.
@sammydog01 Also, Chewie has blue eyes.
@blaineg ET was delivered. Waiting for the reaction.
@blaineg Twin brothers!
@blaineg So perfect.
@blaineg @sammydog01 Absolutely!
@blaineg @Kyeh @sammydog01 Now get on the bike…
@blaineg @Kyeh @pakopako
/giphy YES
@blaineg Not sure what happened to the Chewie picture, here it is again.
@blaineg So am I goofing something on the images that go missing, or is it Meh?
It doesn’t even look like ET!!! Who designed this thing!!! Looks more like a gremlin!
@smileyaak they’re celebrating 30 years as of this past June
In another year it’ll be the 25th for the sequel no one expected
I’m confused.
I thought the word “plush” meant the object was covered in a soft fur-like fabric, like a traditional stuffed animal toy.
This looks rubbery or plastic.
When did the definition of “plush” change?
I did not receive the memo.
@EwingKlipspring I think the head is hard and the rest is plush.
@sammydog01 Ahh! You are correct! Missed that detail somehow when I was being horrified at the pictures… Many thanks!
I’m taking the kids to Universal and they love E.T. Guess we got a pre-trip souvenir now.
/showme something so that the analytics guys wonder why the old ET plushie thread is still hopping.
@mediocrebot
/showme ET dancing in a burlesque show.
@mediocrebot I am confused by the two tails??? where is the one in the back originating???
@mediocrebot @woozy99 don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to
/showme ET as president
/showme ET as a terminator
