The raunchy magic 8 ball is a novelty item that adds a humorous and adult twist to the classic magic 8 ball toy. While the traditional magic 8 ball is known for providing vague and mysterious answers to life's questions, the raunchy version takes a more explicit and risqué approach. Instead of offering innocent phrases like "yes," "no," or "maybe," the raunchy magic 8 ball uses crude and suggestive language to respond to queries. This variant of the magic 8 ball is meant for adult audiences who enjoy edgy humor and are not easily offended. It is often used in adult parties or as a gag gift for friends. The raunchy magic 8 ball has gained popularity for its ability to generate laughter and provoke funny reactions from those who use it.

Series / Teletubbies

These four playful, cuddly, and giggly characters live in an astroturf paradise, surrounded by shower-head looking loudspeaker systems that rise from the ground, are surrounded by rabbits, and live with a robot vacuum cleaner called 'Noo-Noo'. Their only sustenance is toast and pink custard, and they all speak in baby talk. They have magical television screens on their stomachs, which receive signals from real children via their windmill transmitter when one of them picks up a broadcast via the antennae on their heads. And the sun is a baby's head.

Teletubbies originated on The BBC in 1997, and proved to be popular worldwide. The show ended in 2001 with a whopping 365 episodes but was revived in 2015 on BBC yet again, and on Nickelodeon in the United States. On September 7th, 2022, it was announced that a US dub of the revival would be released onto Netflix on November 14th that year.

The raunchy magic 8 ball has gained popularity for its ability to generate laughter and provoke funny reactions from those who use it. Despite its more explicit nature, the fundamental concept behind the raunchy magic 8 ball remains the same. It features a black ball with a liquid-filled window containing a floating 20-sided die.

One day in Teletubbyland, the Teletubbies made a page detailing the tropes shown in their series.

• Adaptation Dye-Job: Noo-Noo was changed from blue to orange in the reboot, likely to make chroma keying him easier.
• Aerith and Bob:
  • Laa-Laa's name is patterned after Nala from The Lion King (1994).
  • With all their bizarre names, Po is the closest one to sounding normal.
  • This is more than likely the reason the show refers to it as a "magic bag".
  • Additionally, Tinky Winky can be heard with a heavy American accent in a lot of episodes of both the original series AND the reboot.
  • They say their own name.
  • "Over the hills and far away, Teletubbies come to play."
  • "One day, in Teletubbyland. "
  • "Something appeared from far away."
  • "Teletubbies love each other very much."
  • "Eh-oh!"
  • "Uh-oh!"
  • "Naughty Noo-Noo!"
  • "Again, again!"
  • "All gone!"
  • "Big Hug!"
  • "Time for Teletubbies."
  • "Time for Tubby Bye-bye!"
  • Laa-Laa has "Bibbaly cheese!" whenever she's frustrated.
  • Sometimes they'll say their name along with their favorite thing, for instance "Tinky Winky bag!" and "Dipsy hat!"
  • They'll often sing a song while out for a walk, like for instance, Tinky Winky, who sings "Pinkle winkle Tinky Winky!"
  • Po often says "Fi-dit!" and "Mon!" when she rides her scooter.
  • "Christmas in South Africa", "Christmas in Finland", "Christmas in the UK", and "Christmas in Spain" are episodes that share two common themes. Those being that, they're all snow episodes, and the Tummy Tales segments showcase different Christmas traditions from around the world.
  • There's a four episode Story Arc where a fully decorated Christmas tree appears in Teletubbyland, and each of the Teletubbies, in separate episodes, find a present under the tree; likewise, the footage they watch in Tummy Tales is of kids doing fun things for the holidays.
  • There are 2 boys (Tinky-Winky and Dipsy) and 2 girls (Laa-Laa and Po).
  • This remains the case in the reboot, adding 4 boys (Daa-Daa, Ba, RuRu, Duggle Dee) and 4 girls (Mi-Mi, Ping, Nin, Umby Pumby).
  • They all have TVs on their stomachs, hence the "tele". As for "tubbies", well they are pretty fat (and the stomach thing again). Though, in the reboot, they're stomachs work more like tablets, with a YouTube-styled play button appearing before the transmission starts.
  • Dipsy has a meaningful name in his own right - it comes from the antenna on his head, which bears a resemblance to a dipstick.
  • The intro is essentially a shot-for-shot remake of the original opening. A few slight tweaks have been made, but they're not that noticeable.
  • A few of the Hollywoodedge sound effects that were used in the original show are sprinkled in.
  • Dipsy sings his hat song in "Favourite Things".
  • Tinky-Winky and Po are Blue and Red, respectively, with Tinky-Winky's gentle and delicate nature contrasting with Po's more high-spirited and boisterous one. Tinky-Winky is also the Blue to Dipsy's Red.
  • Dipsy, however, is the Blue himself to Laa-Laa's Red, being a bit of a stubborn introvert when compared to Laa-Laa's cheerful people-orientedness.
  • Laa-Laa's carefree Cloudcuckoolander nature usually makes her the Blue to Po's pluckier, more ambitious Red.
  • Thought the Bear was female? Well, in the Italian, Slovak, Swedish, Chinese and Korean dubs, she's a male.
  • While both dubs alternated between the two, most of the voice trumpets in the US dub were given female voices, unlike the original UK version where it's mostly male voices.
  • Tinky Winky's laugh is the closest to sounding normal, however, he'll often chuckle when even saying something! This chuckle is heard frequently when he speaks, "Hoo hoo! Hoo hoo hoo!" However, it can also be heard like this: "Huhuhuh!Huhuhuhuhuhu!
  • Dipsy has a fast paced "Heeheeheeheeheehee!"
  • Laa-Laa's fast paced giggle.
  • Po's soft snicker-like giggle.
  • "Christmas Tree", "Making Christmas Cards", "Crackers", and "Christmas Carols" have an overarching story of a Christmas Tree appearing in Teletubbyland, and one of the Teletubbies opening their presents. In the US, these episodes were put into a 2-Pack VHS release titled "Merry Christmas, Teletubbies!".
  • The episodes "Christmas in South Africa", "Christmas in Finland", "Christmas in the UK", "Christmas in Spain", and "Nativity Play" have a story of snow falling in Teletubbyland and the Teletubbies discovering and playing in the snow for the first time. Additionally, the episodes' Tummy Tales segments are all centered around showcasing different holiday traditions from around the world. The episodes were also later released in a 2-Pack VHS and DVD release called "Teletubbies and the Snow" (renamed "Teletubbies: Christmas in the Snow" in the US).

  Information Please : Culture and Politics in the Age of Digital Machines

  Information Please advances the ongoing critical project of the media scholar Mark Poster: theorizing the social and cultural effects of electronically mediated information. In this book Poster conceptualizes a new relation of humans to information machines, a relation that avoids privileging either the human or the machine but instead focuses on the structures of their interactions. Synthesizing a broad range of critical theory, he explores how texts, images, and sounds are made different when they are mediated by information machines, how this difference affects individuals as well as social and political formations, and how it creates opportunities for progressive change.

  Poster’s critique develops through a series of lively studies. Analyzing the appearance of Sesame Street’s Bert next to Osama Bin Laden in a New York Times news photo, he examines the political repercussions of this Internet “hoax” as well as the unlimited opportunities that Internet technology presents for the appropriation and alteration of information. He considers the implications of open-source licensing agreements, online personas, the sudden rise of and interest in identity theft, peer-to-peer file sharing, and more. Focusing explicitly on theory, he reflects on the limitations of critical concepts developed before the emergence of new media, particularly globally networked digital communications, and he argues that, contrary to the assertions of Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, new media do not necessarily reproduce neoimperialisms. Urging a rethinking of assumptions ingrained during the dominance of broadcast media, Poster charts new directions for work on politics and digital culture.

  1. John - 1 star

  I was really disappointed with the Raunchy Magic 8 Ball. I was expecting it to be a funny and naughty twist on the classic magic 8 ball, but it was just tasteless and offensive. The answers it gave were crude and had no humor at all. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone who wants a lighthearted and silly toy.

  2. Sarah - 2 stars

  I bought the Raunchy Magic 8 Ball thinking it would be a fun addition to game night with friends, but I was wrong. The sexual innuendos and vulgar language used in the answers were too much for me. It made everyone uncomfortable and took away from the enjoyment of the game. If you're looking for a more family-friendly version, I would suggest skipping this one.

  3. Mike - 1 star

  The Raunchy Magic 8 Ball was a complete waste of money. The novelty of it wore off quickly after realizing how tasteless and offensive the answers were. It seemed like the manufacturers were trying too hard to be edgy and ended up creating something that is just plain inappropriate. Save your money and look for a more entertaining and suitable alternative.

  4. Emily - 2 stars

  I was initially intrigued by the idea of a raunchy version of the Magic 8 Ball, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The crude jokes and explicit language weren't clever or funny. It left me feeling uncomfortable and regretting my purchase. I would have preferred a more witty and clever version that relied on innuendos rather than explicit content.

  5. Michael - 1 star

  The Raunchy Magic 8 Ball was a huge disappointment. The jokes were tasteless and offensive, and it seemed like the product was trying too hard to be provocative. If you're looking for a fun and light-hearted toy, this is definitely not it. I would advise avoiding this product unless offensive humor is your thing.
