  • Do Yourself A Favour And Watch The ‘Trumpy Bear’ Commercial [Video]

    Sometimes a product comes along that is so odd, you struggle to believe it’s real.

    Take for example the ‘Trumpy Bear’, which many immediately dismissed as a parody back in October of 2017, when the adverts first started airing.

    Retailing for $39,90, or the worst R576 you will ever spend, the adverts appeared on Fox News (shock) earlier this week, renewing interest in a product that sums up America.

    Here’s the advert:

    Yes, again, it is real.

    Here’s the Washington Post:

    Trumpy Bear’s Facebook page simply describes him as a limited-edition, collectible teddy bear that “screams America.”

    …While the commercials specify that Trumpy Bear was born on Flag Day 2017, they do not explain why, although he is allegedly a “great American grizzly,” he stands only 22 inches high and sports remnants of business attire…

    Exceptional Products, a Dallas-based company that owns the bear’s trademark and sells several other as-seen-on-TV products, confirmed Trumpy Bear was “designed by an individual inventor who presented us the product for marketing.”

    Over on Amazon, reviews are mixed. Some seem genuine, bemoaning the lack of quality of the product:

    “The flag on the one we received is NOT a U.S. flag,” one user wrote in June. “The stars are completely off and not at all like the one pictured on the listing.” Another user confirmed that the flag had only 33 stars.

    “This was stated that it ships from USA IT DOES NOT …. straight from CHINA,” another wrote in June.

    That’s right – the bear is made in China:

    Other reviews on Amazon took a different approach:

    • Actually, there were 2.9 million more Hillary Bear units sold but the Russians hacked into Amazon’s accounting system and changed the cost of ol’ Trumpy so it looks like it made more money than they claimed it made. The Hillary Bear is much more durable, made in the USA from much better quality materials. Trumpy bear is made in Mexico, falls apart as soon as you get it, smells bad, and contains a microchip controlled by the Russians.
    • Regular rain will ruin Trumpy. Golden showers are totally fine.
    • Unfortunately the Trumpy Orange Jumpsuit is being delayed in production for legal reason. The very popular Trumpy White Hood and Robe are readily available!
    • Disappointed. Paws not bigly enough.

    There was no way this was going to escape the attention of the late-night TV hosts.

    Jimmy Kimmel’s effort is probably the best of the bunch:
