April Fools Products

We at Archie McPhee are known for making joke and prank items, but we've also been know to pull a few fast ones ourselves. Over the years, we have posted some hilarious fake products on April Fools Day. Some were so ridiculous that we were surprised that people fell for them, while others received such overwhelming responses that we decided to go ahead and make them real products, like Squirrel Underpants!

Cap'n Danger Baby Chute

Everyone's favorite stunt monkey, Cap'n Danger, is proud to introduce his new Cap'n Danger Baby Chute. Just put on the cute little Cap'n Danger onesie, strap the baby into the Cap'n Danger Safety Harness and toss the baby up in the air and he'll gently float back into your waiting arms. A floating baby is a smiling baby. Be extra careful not to twist the lines of the parachute or it will not deploy. Baby go boom! Keep your eyes peeled for Cap'n Danger Baby Cannon and Cap'n Danger Baby Hoop O' Fire.

Beard Of Bees

Tired of boring old facial hair? Take it up to the next level with a Beard of Bees! Years in development, we have finally come up with an economical way to take advantage of all the buzz about bee beards. In each box, you'll get a tube of royal jelly, a grooming wand and a coupon for bees. Just send in the coupon or call with your redemption number and the following morning you'll receive a package of 30,000 bees in our patented UPS approved Swarm Sack™ packaging. After they arrive, apply the royal jelly to your chin, neck and chest, shake the bag vigorously and then release the bees. Use included wand to coax bees into beard shape. Fun for birthdays, retirements or bachelorette parties. Not recommended for indoor use.

Squirting Trick Tombstone

Why let a little thing like death get in the way of a good practical joke. The Squirting Trick Tombstone looks like every other memorial monument, in fact it will even be engraved to your specifications. However, this is no ordinary grave marker! Each one is outfitted with a self-maintaining, complex micro-valve system that runs off of solar cells located on the top edge. Water is removed from the surrounding earth and stored inside. Then, whenever a mourning relative is detected by the motion sensors, a thin stream of water shoots out of the angel's mouth. That'll wash away the tears!! Mechanism is guaranteed for 100 years of hilarity!

 

Surprise Dumpster

The larger cousin of our popular Surprise Box, the Surprise Dumpster has even more potential for fun. Who knows what's inside? It could be a box of 8-track tapes that no one would buy. It could be broken glass. It could even contain an empty container from the Teriyaki place down the street! The possibilities are only limited by what people throw away in our retail store. Each dumpster is guaranteed to contain at least 48 Parasite Pals Erasers and 4 Fuzz Action Figures. This is the kind of stuff you can't really put a value on, so we're charging only $2,150. Supplies are limited to about one a week. Call for shipping price.

100% Organic Green Toy Ball

Who says you can't respect the environment and have fun at the same time? This 100% Organic Green Toy Ball for kids will help you reduce your carbon footprint and sustainably delight children of all ages. The ball is formed from organic particles and bits of natural stone mixed with dihydrogen monoxide that is then hand manipulated by indigenous peoples into a spherical shape and left to dry in the sun. The packaging is made from recycled fast food bags we've liberated from land fills and the artwork was hand drawn by a vegan graphic designer using all natural inks. While your kids play with the ball it slowly, over a period of about 10 minutes, disintegrates into all-natural, mother earth friendly, free-trade soil. Organic particles may contain some feces, which makes this ideal for the garden. Never has the truth been more convenient!

Levitating Propeller Beanie

The dream of flight is within your reach and it has never been easier. The Levitating Propeller Beanie can lift up to 150 pounds 6" off the ground! All you have to do is securely fasten the beanie under your chin, strap on the 20 horsepower gasoline engine, then pull the chord to start it up! The propeller blades rotate at about 1200 RPMs which will levitate you into the air as long as you don't tilt your head too much. The full unit weighs over 50 pounds, so it is obviously not suitable for children. All purchasers must sign a waiver and obtain the appropriate licenses for their locale. This ain't your wacky uncle's beanie!
