15 Hilariously Obvious Knock Off Products
Normally, a luxury lifestyle would require a luxury budget, but if you aren’t afraid to cut corners, you can have it for half the price. There are plenty of knock off and straight-up counterfeit goods out there that can give you the appearance of wealth without actually spending a ton of money.
Just don’t expect the quality to be great. And don’t expect the brand to be spelled right. And don’t expect it to actually function. In fact, you shouldn’t expect much besides absurdity when it comes to the world of hilarious knock offs. Here are 15 counterfeit items that are so bad it’s like they weren’t even trying.
Calvim Klain
Here’s the million dollar question–did they spell it Calvim Klain to avoid copyright issues or did they spell it that way because they couldn’t spell Calvin Klein?
iPhone Shoes
If you’re going to blatantly rip off a brand, at least get the product right! Or who knows? Maybe you should put one of these up to your ear and give it a try.
Star Knight
Ah yes, who can forget the best part of Star Wars? You know the scene–the one with Darth Vader riding his police motorcycle. He might be the biggest villain in the universe, but even he wants to keep the streets safe.
Heroes of the World Fighter
Okay, the creators of this toy were smart to not just straight-up call it a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but the hilarious thing is that they didn’t even try to mention at all that this “hero of the world” is a turtle. And don’t get us started on the facemask which seems to have melted down his face.
Butter It's Not!
So first we had I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ripping off real butter, and now we have all of these butter knock-off knock-offs. Clearly the creators of Butter It’s Not! got to the game late and had to pick a name that wasn’t already taken.
Souperman
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a lobster bisque! Souperman is here to save the day and keep you well fed.
Big Fella
This knockoff toy has accidentally stumbled onto something great–Godzilla would actually be way cooler if his official name was “Big Fella.” That’s some honest advertising if I’ve ever heard any.
Panburger Partner
If your relationship with the Hamburger Helper oven mitt goes south, you can always hit up your side piece, Panburger Partner.
Pikachu Meets Spongebob
Turns out that when you combine two of the most beloved children’s mascots you get something utterly terrifying. This is one toy that’s basically a punishment.
Harry Potter/Obama/Sonic
In what has to be one of the weirdest (and most counterfeit) brand partnerships in the world, the world was blessed with this Harry Potter/Sonic/Obama backpack. Your three favorite franchises are now in one poorly colored bag!
Dino & Martin
What 80s kid didn’t spend hours in front of the Nintendo exploring the Mushroom Kingdom with Dino and Martin? In addition to their strange knock off names, Yoshi/Dino comes equipped with some terrifying glowing eyes.
PolyStation
All I have to say is this–if you want to ruin your kid’s Christmas, buy them a PolyStation.
8-12
How can 7-11 expect to compete? I’m no rocket mathematician, but according to my calculations, those numbers are definitely bigger.
Robert Cop
I had no idea that “Robo” was short for Robert. And I’m not sure what’s better–Robert’s terrible name, his terrible construction, or his terrible packaging.
Ono
As long as this is a card game that has the ability to tear families apart like the original Uno, I’m okay with the name change.
