Despite what the images here tell you, cockroaches are not cute, nor cuddly, and certainly not adorable. They are not your friends. They are meant to be squashed under foot sprayed with Raid and sent to Roach Motels, not hugged and squeezed with love. They are a natural enemy to humans and all other forms of life. So why is this store in Thailand selling plush toys of giant roaches? To further their cockroach agenda, that’s why. Clearly the guy running the place is the giant insect from Men in Black.
“Peter the Cockroach” is very realistic. Meaning that it is terrifying and disgusting. This plush roach is anatomically correct too, with the antenna, nasty spiky legs, wings and all the rest. Buy this thing at your own risk. It’s sure to attract other real cockroaches because they think this is their giant queen. It looks disgusting, but when you get down to it, this is just a regular plush toy. It may look soft, but you should still never hug this thing.
If you want to creep your friends out, you can find this bizarre toy at a store called Mheemeekhong for about $27(USD). Can you imagine a whole store full of these nasty creatures? I bet they go through a lot of employees because they get attacked on the night shift.

Oh Internet, you always know how to raise the creep-meter to 11. Watch in awe and disgust as this guys create a hand out of fried meat, then fills it with rice. For some reason. Why? Why not? Watching this video feels like an origin story for the worst superhero ever. A guy named Fried Meat and Rice Hand who goes around slapping people.
Its creator, Kiwami Japan first makes some kind of mechanical contraption, then he cuts some meat and stuffs it into a glove. Then he shapes it to look like a real hand. Next, he cuts the hand free of the glove and adds some soy sauce, salt and pepper. Then he adds an egg on top, dips it in flour and fries it up in the pan before adding the fried rice topper.
At this point you’ll ask out loud why you are still watching. I have no idea. I’m guessing if you made this, you’d eat the fingers first. This has got to be one of the weirdest and creepiest cooking videos I’ve ever seen. Seriously, why would you do this? So many questions. Zero answers.
Simulations are fun. Some people like to play The Sims or Roller Coaster Tycoon, others like to fly flight simulators on their PC. Still others like to pop pimples. Those people are gross. And since even gross nasty pimple poppers need to be entertained, the Pop it Pal will keep them popping fresh zits for hours.
You can check out a video demo below. Prepare to be grossed out since it looks pretty real I guess. Or if you would rather not watch the video, you can always squeeze one of your own zits and get the same results. This $20 piece of silicon lets a user pop fifteen fake pimples. You can even get it in a light or dark skin tone and it comes with a 3-ounce refill of pimple pus as well as a refill tool. Sweet!
If this is your thing, you can grab extra bottles of pimple pus for $6 each. I can’t imagine anyone spending money on this ever, but I guess I’m not the target audience. But if you love to pop pimples all day long, this is your new favorite toy. Just don’t admit to anyone that you actually bought this, and please don’t do it in public.

It’s a common trope in science fiction that when a character is enduring some sort of mental or psychokinetic overload that their nose bleeds. For me, it just happens when the air is too dry or I’ve been blowing my nose too hard. Fans of Stranger Things are certainly familiar with nosebleeds, thanks to Eleven’s tendency to get them when under duress.
Now, you can celebrate the return of the fantastic Netflix series with this unique candle of Eleven’s head, complete with her bleeding nose. The guys over at Firebox are selling this ceramic candle holder which bleeds from both nostrils as your candle melts. Naturally, they included a couple of appropriately red candles, but I suppose you could go with yellow or green if you want Eleven to have a head cold instead of a bloody nose.
The Eleven Bleeding Nose candle is available for pre-order now over on Firebox for about $40, including a nose picker to help you clear any blockages.
Out of all of the stages of xenomorph development, I think the facehugger is the nastiest. This disgusting creature not only has eight creepy, crawly, boney legs, but a snake-like tail, and a gross mouth that’s ready to stick its tongue down your throat and implant its egg into your belly. EEESH. If after all of that, you still really like the idea of having a facehugger in your house, you might want to check this out.
This impressive replica looks just like the facehugger prop they used in James Cameron’s Aliens. This gross looking monstrosity stands 28-inches tall as it coils up its goo-covered tail and gets ready to lunge at your head. It’s a “museum-quality” replica, though I’m not sure what museum would want this in its collection.
Hollywood Collectibles Group is making just 500 of these, but priced at $699.99(USD) each, I’d expect they might take a little time to sell out. That said, there are surely some die-hard Alien fans who will jump at the chance to add one to their collection. Me, I’m sticking to plush facehuggers.

Deadpool is a snarky bastard and doesn’t mind talking about squeezing his ass into a red costume. I could definitely see Deadpool trying to blow bubbles using farts. Instructables contributor Britt Michelsen posted a step-by-step guide for turning one of those rude BUB-L Breezer toys into a Deadpool toy of farting, bubbly glory.
The base toy looks nothing like Deadpool so you have to use modeling clay, paint, primer spray, and elbow grease to make it work. You clearly need some artistic talent for this project. The instructions even teach you how to make the base toy more reliable. No one wants a Deadpool arse bubble blower that won’t blow bubbles.
The finished results are awesome, but I can’t help but wonder if you could blow bubbles with actual farts and then light the bubbles afterwards…
In the future, robots will frolic in pools of human blood and use it for lubrication. Then robot arms will be forced to clean it all up. Today we can get a little taste of that horror that lies before us.
If you want to see a robot arm squeegee up a massive puddle of blood, either time travel into the future or check out this installation by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu. It is called “Can’t Help Myself” and it is on display at the Guggenheim Museum through March.
I bet that arm is enjoying itself, playing with that pool of blood like some deranged serial killer. We are all well and truly screwed.

Few things in my wife’s 9/10ths of our bedroom closet enrage me more than scarves. I’m not sure you can even call something a scarf if it is woven with massive holes in it like a doily or something and only serves to catch on every single hanger in the closet. I don’t think lots of holes and few threads will actually keep you warm. This Zombie Entrails Stuffed Scarf Plush will though. It’s cute and gross at the same time, just like a baby.
One end of the scarf has a plush green creature on it that I presume to be a baby zombie – it has a diaper and massive skull to body ratio anyway. A stuffed brain pops out of the zombie’s head and attached is the scarf that is made to look like guts.
It’s actually pretty cool, in a gross, probably get you kicked out of school sort of way. The scarf isn’t cheap at $44.99, but disturbing your teachers or co-workers is worth at least that much. It’s available now at ThinkGeek.
