Why are those robots wearing helmets? Human boxers don’t wear helmets, so why should robot boxers wear them? It makes no sense! If they wear helmets, do they also have mouthguards? Do they wear jockstraps? Do they use safety goggles when they’re at home on the weekend using their robot table saw to build a robot tree house for their robot children?
Someone got my kid the Rock’em Sock’ems last year when he was five. I had warm fuzzies from my childhood trying them out with him and quickly found it… shockingly lame.
Was the video in slow motion, or are the robots that lame? Should have been in the shape of grandpa instead of a robot, then at least they would be funny…
Is it just me, or does this look like it belongs in one of those shady stores in the mall that sell poorly translated knockoff toys? I always suspected they were kept in business by senile grandparents who couldn’t be bothered to know the difference between the ‘Justice League’ and the ‘Righteous Freedom Coalition’.
@djslack … Totally agree… All they have to do is get over their fear of bad ones that they had to make good on like the last batch. I’ve still got some of those so they weren’t all bunk.
Meh Gawd! I’m starting to lose money with my VMP… Go back to the old forte where Mehers would buy solely because of the price. You wouldn’t believe all the shit I’ve bought and hadn’t even opened yet. No longer it seems.
Awww I was looking forward to some Christmehs shopping, went and done and bought one, then saw 10 batteries. I’ve been down the many battery path before, and I ain’t doing it again.
Finally a cat toy that can fight back. I want to see videos of people tormenting their pets with these things. Can a cat get bloody noze? Can a robot get its head bit off?
@ozob sigh… I talked myself into getting this damn thing. I’m gonna get rich making youtube vids or get chased off the interwebs for tormenting critters.
It’s encouraging to me, as a Meh… fan - that they can still manage to pull something out of their hat that I am 0% interested in - and make me wonder who in the hell put the money up to make this crap.
that was the fastest Meh Click i’ve ever done. I wonder if they track page load to button push time - GET ON THAT>
My purchase history shows I’m open minded- but I’m out for this one.
My kid will love this…till I beat her robot up! We’ll have minutes of fun with this. In for one. Hmm…maybe I should be in for two…I’m thinking robot battle royale! On second thought…I’m thinking the remote only has 2 channels…so no robot battle royale.
After months away Meh almost got me with this one. But then I saw Toys R Us has something that looks way better for $23.99 with free shipping. Air Hogs Smash Bots.
@ahhhpancakes I just want to say thank you to meh.com for giving me something to really really thoroughly dislike today. Life was a bit too likable this morning. Now I feel alive.
All can say is thank god for the video. I almost bought this!
@Candiedisilvio1 This, exactly.
@Candiedisilvio1 nah. these are super satisfying to play with.
10 batteries? What am I, the duracell heir?

Just get Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, no batteries required! Amazon has them, can’t believe it’s still available!

@robson
@robson No kidding! A hundred times better than what is being offered here (and, as you point out, no batteries required).
Someone got my kid the Rock’em Sock’ems last year when he was five. I had warm fuzzies from my childhood trying them out with him and quickly found it… shockingly lame.
@robson You knocked my block off!
Was the video in slow motion, or are the robots that lame? Should have been in the shape of grandpa instead of a robot, then at least they would be funny…
Not meaning to sound hurtful or anything, but isn’t this kind of lame product more appropriate for Woot!?
Talky Tina was only 18" tall and I’m still afraid of her.
@norman8 My name is Talky Tina and I’m going to kill you.
Thanks @sammydog01 - now I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
LOL this thing looks like crap!!! I only bought one!!! That will show those MEH peeps!!

@Morgue what’s wrong with those?
Yes.
In for three.
/giphy energetic-martian-imp
If there were ever an item that would’ve benefited from a video, This Is It.
@docflash I can’t tell for sure but it seems like you’re saying we didn’t do a video for this product…
@docflash The video kind of unsold it for me.
@djslack don’t let it. these things are fun.
broke the meh combo. this is something everyone can enjoy. sold!
10x AAA? Tomorrow night meh will be selling batteries…
@eeterrific One can only hope… some of us have been wanting batteries for months!
@djslack … Totally agree… All they have to do is get over their fear of bad ones that they had to make good on like the last batch. I’ve still got some of those so they weren’t all bunk.
/buy --color=robot_blood
@uwacn It worked! Your order number is: gusty-passive-bug
/image gusty passive bug
I would love some non-battery toys/games. All the toy drives are coming up.
This is so completely bizarre. Are we… are we being trolled? Is ‘fake fighting robot product page’ the new ‘something went terribly wrong page’?
Meh Gawd! I’m starting to lose money with my VMP… Go back to the old forte where Mehers would buy solely because of the price. You wouldn’t believe all the shit I’ve bought and hadn’t even opened yet. No longer it seems.
What the shit? For real?
I have never wanted anything less. Well maybe speaker docks or knives.
10 AAA batteries?!?! That’s like, what, 30 single A batteries?
Awww I was looking forward to some Christmehs shopping, went and done and bought one, then saw 10 batteries. I’ve been down the many battery path before, and I ain’t doing it again.
Awesome! I’m not gonna buy one, but awesome!
Ten triple-A batteries? Meh it to hell! Fuck that.
@Dizavid You vile obnoxious muffin, I completely appreciate your comment- straight to the fucking point. We need more like you and I.
worst meh toy ever? Should I order two?
@lbutlr Three, definitely.
I found the manufacturer’s youtube channel.
@4771cu5 WTF they didn’t even brawl!?!
@4771cu5 This looks like one of those stores in the shopping malls that are half empty.
The selling point is “the cheapest two player robot boxing set on the market”?
@djslack
Still not as cheap as “the cheapest one player robot boxing set one the market”
By “cheap”, I mean “sad”. But “not as”, I mean “probably just as”
Christmas is coming and I have 2 little boys on my list, so…
/giphy feisty-moronic-corsair
10 AAA batteries? Wtf should have been AA’s
@Stallion But then it would have needed 6.667 of them or something.
@MehnofLaMehncha
Lol. You do know that AAA and AA batteries (also C and D for that matter) are all 1.5 volts each, right?
@LongIslandDad Yes he does.
/giphy sarcasm
@sammydog01
Lol. I doubt it.
Finally a cat toy that can fight back. I want to see videos of people tormenting their pets with these things. Can a cat get bloody noze? Can a robot get its head bit off?
@ozob sigh… I talked myself into getting this damn thing. I’m gonna get rich making youtube vids or get chased off the interwebs for tormenting critters.
@ozob Make sure you post a link here of your cat ignoring this thing.
I stayed up for this?!
@JT954 … No, you stayed up to watch re-re-re-runs of SVU (choke!) meh just diverted your attention.
The batteries are worth more than the robots. FFS, Meh…
Almost impulse bought this, but then saw the comments about the batteries and the impulse went away.
Robots - bots about right meh!
I’m guessing it’s 3 batteries for each robot and 2 for the remote.
The remote batteries should last a long time, like a TV remote. The robots, who knows.
But the thing seems really lame anyway so who cares.
It’s encouraging to me, as a Meh… fan - that they can still manage to pull something out of their hat that I am 0% interested in - and make me wonder who in the hell put the money up to make this crap.
that was the fastest Meh Click i’ve ever done. I wonder if they track page load to button push time - GET ON THAT>
My purchase history shows I’m open minded- but I’m out for this one.
Possibly the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Do people actually buy this ?
6110 batteries needed so far…as of this post at 0745 MT Amazon Batt’ries $1600.+ battery sales.
My kid will love this…till I beat her robot up! We’ll have minutes of fun with this. In for one. Hmm…maybe I should be in for two…I’m thinking robot battle royale! On second thought…I’m thinking the remote only has 2 channels…so no robot battle royale.
@gallogj That seems “just as sad as” “the cheapest one player robot boxing set one the market”
What have I done… I’m sure this will make a great Christmas gift for my nieces or nephews.
/giphy worrisome-worried-dog
Video looks like this is soooooo boring…
After months away Meh almost got me with this one. But then I saw Toys R Us has something that looks way better for $23.99 with free shipping. Air Hogs Smash Bots.
Really, really fun. From my 3 year old granddaughter to my 63 year old husband.

euphoric elusive crocodile, here I come!
yeah, the battery thing is a deal breaker. MEH.
It’s a Robot bar fight
A sad day. I just clicked Meh, posted a very meh posting, and then went straight to my VMP and hit cancel… see you tomorrow Meh.
@accelerator Butt it’s a good day for the battery companies. It’s all the ying & the yang mang.
Man, I’ve never meh’d so hard. I’ve never meh’d so well. I have so much meh, I clicked Meh 23 times, but only the first one counted.
@ahhhpancakes I just want to say thank you to meh.com for giving me something to really really thoroughly dislike today. Life was a bit too likable this morning. Now I feel alive.
The shrink ray is back!
i can’t help but give meh credit for selling something nobody expected.
that being said, it almost wasn’t even worth the Meh button. almost
@NAFderwin EVERYTHING is worth the Meh button.
Now I want everything…
@El_Oel you better believe i hit it. but it definitely distracted me from it for a hot minute…
