I recently bought an Og the Bog game in a charity shop for me and the Grandson to play. He hated it - largely because it had a sudden exploding action which scared the hell out of him! He is only 3!
There's some footage of Og on his bog on You Tube.
Seeing Og's old hut totally reminded me of a toy novelty I had as a kid,
the Out House.
Like this one!
.
Typical of Sixties plastic fancy goods and novelty toys, it used a lot of plastic and came in a box. I probably got it from my the cash and carry warehouse where my Dad was manager.
The Out House involved a hillbilly boy who, on opening the door, turned round to pee on you! I can clearly remember filling the tank it was stood on by removing the little red mushroom at the side. As always You Tube feature footage of it.
There are lots of different boxes to collect should you wish to.
A photographic one.
A very iffy illustration on this one.
A french version, Ouvrez la Porte.
The gag was extended to Hippies for some reason so we got the Hippie Out House, largely because of the play on words 'Peace on You'!
The bursting Hippy was let out of the out house and placed on a Peace On Barrel too!
The hillbilly escaped the out house too and ended up the Trick Pee Boy in a bag with a huge bulb and pipe to create the same effect
There were also less tasteful and downright tacky variations of the pee pee novelty like Weepy the Wee Wee, Little Squirt, Bubbling Boy and Sexy Susan but I'll leave these to the imagination rather than inconvenience you further!
Pictures used here were all from old online auctions.
Did you have an out-house toy?
What a great blog! I love the packaging as much as the toys!
ReplyDeleteAnd that Hippy "Peace (piss) on a Barrel"!
Can a study of the donkey that extrudes a cigarette from his backside, when you lift his tail be far behind? (Ho Ho!)
I was thinking about air operated toys the other day, specifically a certain toy astronaut with inflatable rubber arms, and I went looking for modern squeeze bulb toys.
Apparently they don't exist anymore!
What, not even the classic squeeze toy spider or the classic plate lifter?
DeleteUrine my bad books after this lot Woodsy !
ReplyDeleteMish.
Ha ha, ammonia toy fan Mish, can't help it!
DeleteFunny! My mother had bought a toy similar to the Outhouse way back in the '60s. BTW, she bought the toy as decoration for our summer trailer in northern Wisconsin. Prior to winter coming,l Dad would have to drain the lines and shut off the water. So if we wanted to go to the trailer on the weekend and need to use the bathroom we had to go outside to the outhouse - lots of fun during a northern Wisconsin winter LOL
ReplyDeleteThey were everywhere back then ED, along with the skeleton hand penny grabber and the donkey cigarette dispenser! I can empathise with your wintry trips to the outhouse. We had an outside loo in the shed and it was the home of the biggest spiders ever. I trembled when I had to use it when the loo in the house was busy! Many houses in the north of England only had an outside toilet, called a privvy sometimes. I think they've been turned into bike stores and toolsheds now!
DeleteWe had one of these for years on the tall windowsill in the infants room at my primary Convent school. No one could reach it so no one knew what it was. A few years later I dragged a chair and desk over to investigate, realised what it was, filled it with water and showed it to Sister Rosario. I never saw it again...
ReplyDeleteGreat memory CV and a really comical Convent story. The ending made me chuckle!
