Make Your Own Meh Products: "Monster with Optimal Frankenstein"
12As mentioned in the recent Ninja sale, I put every Meh offer title in a Markov Text Generator and made a list of goofy new products that we wish we could sell.
Since @kdemo asked nicely, these are some of the best ones that I’ve come up with, a few of which were in the writeup:
Portable Bean Screen Laptop
Riviera RC Aquariums
4-Pack: Pepper Starter
Pillow with Seatbelt Cutter
Cool Bag Chair
Damson Blender Bottle Grill/Fry/Oven
Fleece Rock Knife
Samba Glass Breakers
Bluetoothbrush with Bluetooth
Illuminum Skaterproof Good/Better Discs
Zoom Socks
LED Dog Totes
Neat Mints
Monster with Optimal Frankenstein
Pocket With Headphones
Electra Wine Opening Watches
Saturday Single Set
Ray-Ban Eye Master
Your Choice Indoor/Outdoor Rock Socks
Expandable Dog Headphones
Onkyo 5.1 Channel Mug
And I also ran every Meh video title through:
- Prank Television: Cheese?
- Let’s Glen & Chad
- ROSEANNE Theme from the Robot Shawn About Nineteenth-Century American Asshole, Part 12
- Butter Teams: Maybe it Bothers Me More Than It Should
- Introducing Mediocrebot is an Asshole Open Mic Friday Again
- Hey, Goose Please Do You Want a Microwave Cat Pies, episode 01
- Happy Helicopter Combat
- Ask Irk: Nurse Me More Than It Should
- Mediocre’s Fine
- Ask Irk: Do You Live?
- It’s Blue Again!
- New Zealand - Selling Spouses?
- Drinking Is Gross
- Shiny Happy Birthday to Skin a Cat
- Superiority Doppelgängers
- A Few Words With Slow Cookin’
- Looking Terrible with Saw Blade
- Spoiled To Say I Love a Breaking Terrible Butt
- Approved For Approved
This is the generator I have been using, and here is a .txt list of all of our offers (duplicates removed) and every Meh video title
Try it out and see what you come up with! I have found the Order is best set to 3 or 4. Most of what it spits out isn’t very funny or interesting, sometimes it actually gets a real product title, but if you hunt through you can find stuff like “62-Piece Breakfast Sandwich Matching Electronic Pain”
A brief and not-very-good explanation of what the text generator does: Given a bunch of text as Input, the generator will produce a random bit of text to start with and then will look at what usually comes after that, like your predictive keyboard on your phone. It has a short memory though, so if it sees “blue” then it will go letter by letter trying to say “Bluetooth”, but at a certain point it will only see “ooth”, at which point it might think we’re talking about a toothbrush, which is how we end up with Bluetoothbrush with Bluetooth

OMG can’t stop laughing.
Clearly I’m most interested in “Prank Television: Cheese?”
What are the odds?

Okay, that last one was a real sale and needed no conversion to sound ridiculous.
This is fun thanks, @moose!!
@kdemo
Cool Gear Auto Emergency Toothbrush Sanitizer w/ AC Adapter
, for when you’re slightly creeped out that maybe that dude at the next campsite over snuck into your tent and used your toothbrush in the middle of the night@Moose - You’re not paranoid if it really happens.
I feel like I hit some winners on the first try:
@djslack - The Ooma device only blends 8 Avengers? Is there a puree setting I wonder?
@djslack
I had never heard of sound machines until I met my wife but you nailed two great products in one go!
@kdemo It’s an 8-bit device, based on 1990s tech.
I’m afraid I don’t know how many avengers there actually are. But I bet if you just got them in 8 at a time, you could eventually get an homogenous blend of the whole lot of them.
Maybe a bigger jar could solve the problem. One of those extra ninja jars people got in their fukos could do the trick.
@Moose I also feel like 5100BTU is a whole lot of noise, especially for a wireless unit. If it has an all-day battery I’m sold.
@djslack - Those are only for blending Ninjas. Wait, are there Avenger Ninjas?
So many questions.
@Moose Thanks for doing this - I love these things!
