Unitasker Wednesday: The Daddle
All Unitasker Wednesday posts are jokes — we don’t want you to buy these items, we want you to laugh at their ridiculousness. Enjoy!
Oh, Daddle, you are one of the most special unitaskers I have encountered:
I don’t even know what to say. I’m at a complete loss for words. Or, rather, at a loss for words that are appropriate for a family-friendly website. I can think of a number of double entendres and completely inappropriate jokes. So, those of you over 18, simply imagine that I have written those jokes here and chuckle to yourselves. Ride on!
Thanks to reader Sharon for trotting this unitasker out for our attention.

The amount of rubbish that is manufactured to meet some perceived need is ridiculous. This has got to be the daftest unitasker.

The customer reviews on Amazon are Hilarious!

Ha! Glad I’m not the only one with a perverted sense of humor. This is awful.

This looks like it belongs on Regretsy.

I’m going to admit that my initial reaction was much like everyone else. 1) You’ve got to be kidding me, and 2)Inappropriate comments.
However, is this that much different than when kids have costumes for playing dress-up roleplaying? Would parents also NOT buy the cowboy hat or princess dress? (I still wouldn’t buy it though.)

I don’t think that’s a unitasker…
Posted by Nicola - 08/04/2010
WTF????? I cannot believe that someone actually came up with this!
Posted by Tanya - 08/04/2010
Wow. There are even knee-pads for dad.
Posted by Melissa - 08/04/2010
Oh my goodness! Sarah is right–the Amazon reviews are outrageously funny. I have laughed until CRIED. *wipes eyes*

@Sarah and Melissa, If you like funny Amazon reviews, try for the ones for the “Three Wolves Moon” shirt.

As for the Daddle? I have no words…

Oh my word. That’s just sad. Really sad. My husband gives the kids “horse rides” occasionally, but because we don’t have the “Daddle” with a seatbelt, they just have to learn to hang on for dear life. Teaches life lessons.

This may be my favorite one yet.

As the Amazon comments prove, this is hardly a unitasker. Just add it to the long list of children’s toys that get repurposed after the wee-ones have gone to bed.

They thought of everything didn’t they — even knee pads… Now THOSE can come in handy.

This is obviously for the super safety conscious parent and/or child w/o much imagination (which, I think, doesn’t really exist)

I would so TOTALLY buy this – if I had a miniature horse and a child small enough to ride it.
Actually I wish I had known about it when my daughter was 3 years old because the barn that I rode at HAD a miniature horse that would have been perfect.
Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait another 25 years for grandchildren to come along.

I like this series of yours. This one takes a cake. I have young kids so my husband does this often and without any product, just they way we like it, thank you very much!
Posted by Sabrina - 08/04/2010
Best. Reviews. EVER. I laughed out loud at my desk, so now my co-workers think I’m crazy. Totally worth it though
Posted by Sarah - 08/04/2010
Oh. My. God.
Posted by Jackie - 08/04/2010
as the mother of two horse-obsessed preschoolers, I actually thought this was kinda cute. It just adds another dimension to imaginary play/dress-up. Would I buy it? Never. If I got it as a gift, would I use it? Probably would have to after the kids saw it. (and btw, I could see kids playing with it themselves taking turns being the horsey.)

I think I saw a dog wearing one of these last Halloween. The dad looks even more ridiculous. Didn’t think that was possible.
Posted by Jillian - 08/04/2010
This is most awkward. Those reviews… goodness gracious. This is one of the silliest products I have ever seen ever thanks to those “rave” reviews… haha!
Posted by Meg - 08/05/2010
How humiliating for dad…
Posted by DebbieQ - 08/05/2010
Chiropractors must love that thing. I am just not sure what to say about it.
Posted by Sandi - 08/05/2010
hahahaha – thanks for the laughter this morning. I cannot say anything either but I’m sure my thoughts mirror yours. Oh my goodness. Or not.
Posted by Jake - 08/05/2010
Aww, it’s not so bad. Look a the thoughtful knee pads for the dad. Any dad forced to be the horsey will appreciate it. LOL!
Posted by Wendy - 08/05/2010
omg, I have that throw, but without the saddle. Urrrrgh!
Posted by princess_peas - 08/08/2010
Personally I think it is BRILLIANT, and would deffinitely get one if I had small children!
And maybe I’m just not like you, but even when I’m trying to I can’t think of rude things to say about it!
