A couple of days ago I got the following comment on one of my posts, “I am happiest when there is something twisted, awkward, or sexual in this blog. Please work on your dementia levels.”
My goal for today was to score big time and hit all three of these requirements in one fell swoop. You be the judge of my success.
Today I selected a toy which is in my opinion a total classic. They have made this particular toys for ages now. My guess is that it has been made at least since the sixties for sure and probably longer. I recall having one as a kid. It was just the kind of thing that would be for sale in one of those ultra tacky stores you find at seaside resorts. Anyway, I’m sure it was on one of the numerous family trips to Brighton or the Isle of Wight where I acquired my one. Costing next to nothing, it was just the kind of thing that would appeal to a ten year old boy with a pocket full of change at his disposal.
So what exactly is this item from my misspent youth you ask? Well check this out.
At a nudge over 7″ tall we have what appears to be a very shifty looking school boy. It is very English looking if you ask me. To kind of make my point here is a picture of me aged about seven, taken on my first day of school back in London.
I used to be so cute… goodness knows what happened to me as time went on. Oh well. Anyway, you can see in both cases we have the cap, tie, blazer, shorts and the all important knee high socks. The look is then completed out with very sensible shoes.
So what exactly was the toy I showed you above? I mean as is in the picture it doesn’t look like much fun at all. Ha! Looks can be deceiving and this little lad, just like myself, is full to the brim with mischief… Hehe!
The mystery is revealed, as you can now see with this little chap in action showing himself in his full glory. Yep, apparently he has a bit of a weak bladder poor thing.
The one and only thing this toy does is pee. Prime him with a little water from the faucet, then pull down his shorts and bingo, he works every time. Basically he operates like an R-rated version of the classic water pistol we all know so well. If you weren’t sure of his function you just need to read the name on the box, “Squirt Wee-Boy”… safe to say that the name left nothing to chance.
As you can see from the box, this particular one was made in 1982, and truth be known he looks a little different from the one I actually had. Those differences were merely cosmetic as the function of the toy was 100% identical. I tell you, even after playing with it 500 times in the past this toy never failed to crack me up. Don’t forget, I was a ten year old boy and the perfect age to think this was the coolest thing ever. Mine must have peed on practically everyone who set foot in our house.
Mine looked more like this one though I think he had a green hat. Interestingly, this one looks a lot more American to me. You will notice the logos on the boxes for both toys are the same, so obviously they were made by the same company over in Hong Kong, though it doesn’t say exactly was the manufacturer. The name, Weepy the Wee Wee, leaves no room for confusion.
Even the older ones of these seem to have never climbed out of the cheapo junky novelty category and as a result have no real value. So for those of you who have now decided you NEED one of these I suggest you hit up a flea market or some local yard sales and have a couple of quarters handy.
Here’s your chance to see this toy in all its glory, I made a small video presentation for your viewing pleasure.
Hopefully you all got a chuckle out of that, I know I did. For moment there I was instantly transported back to the late seventies. Sweeeeet.
Before I go I just wanted to remind you that I have a contest running at the moment, click here to see for yourself. You have until August 4th to get you entry/entries in for a chance to win a cool prize.
So, to my original commenter, hey Gregg how did I do?

It’s actually pretty funny. Very twisted and naughty however. I can see how a kid would absolutely love it. Great choice of music for the video. Fits perfectly.
You did very well. The video in particular made me feel awkward and uncomfortable. Why does his equipment consist of a metal vagina, albeit with long range squirting power?
Funny, I missed that comment, yet was not at all surprised to learn that it came from Gregg. There are lots of variants on this toy - I guess some things just never go out of style.
That said, I like the undemented posts just as much, if not more. Sure, these are funny, but too easy. Plus as you know I’m a sucker for the bootleg posts…
LOL
Good stuff.
Fear not Erin we will return to the path of righteousness soon enough. This was just a brief detour.
Oh, like I said, this is funny. Just giving props to the joys of your other posts!
Much appreciated
