10 Hilariously Awful Pieces Of Movie Merchandise

1. Jar Jar Binks Tongue Lolly

Somehow managing to out-WTF that last entry is the Queen Mother of ridiculous, terrible and wholly inappropriate movie merchandise; the Jar Jar Binks tongue lolly! Jar Jar Binks is already loathed by everyone who isn't four years old, so what better way to ingratiate him to people than have their children sucking on his tongue in the most ridiculously ill-thought out sugar-delivery system of all time? Just the idea of a child, or in fact, anyone, being so desperate for strawberry sweetness that they end up essentially making out with Jar Jar's big, red, Gungan tongue is enough to make any reasonable human being wretch. What were they thinking? I can only maintain my sanity and faith in humanity by assuming that this must have been a joke product someone drew up for a laugh that an executive dared to take seriously, and scared for their jobs, nobody thought to challenge him on it. Just awful, awful, awful. What's the worst piece of movie merch you've ever seen? Let us know in the comments below.
