FX Whip Toy from Indiana Jones Makes Beating Up Colleagues a Pleasure

Hasbro's FX whip, part of the flotilla of Indiana Jones merchandise that is sailing into port this year, should be hung on the wall of every office in the land. This is what makes corporal punishment in the workplace such a pleasure. The $19.99 toy plays the theme tune —this is, sadly, the one crappy bit about it— as well as a thwack-a-lacka-boom-boom sound when you crack it. Hasbro could have come up with some more interesting sound effects, though. The FX whip will be available from May 1 from most toy shops. [Hasbro]

Crack that whip.
Give the past the slip.
Step on a crack.
Break your momma's back.

When a problem comes along.
You must whip it.
Before the cream sits out too long.
You must whip it.
When something's going wrong.
You must whip it.

Whip it gooooooood.

@strider_mt2k: Lol. That was my first reaction as well. Too bad you can't add your own Devo (or porn soundtrack) effects to this puppy....

whipping post?

whipping boy?

@Redwraithvienna: yeah well this one is safer - with all of this politically correct stuff in the workplace these days_ Sound effects as if a minion is actually being whipped as opposed to actually whipping the minion avoids assault and battery charges_

@uberfu:

Battery charges? But the real whip doesn't USE batteries! I'm confused. :-(

Top 5 movie ideas and toys that cause emergency room trips.

5.) Batman- those cool wings we just saw the other day.
4.) Indiana Jones- What kid hasn't made a whip and tried to swing with it.
3.) Spiderman- Home made webbing out of string attached to the wrist.
2.) Superman- The cape- with a cape anything is possible.
1.) Mary Poppins - The umbrella.

We all know or were a kid that injured ourselves, however so slightly, after reenacting something from TV or a movie. This prop makes me a little sad- it is not likely to cause as many injuries as a kid trying to make a real whip.

Actually the first thought that came to mind was the new Reese's commercial:

I remember playing with my dads real bull whips trying to reenact scenes from Indiana jones.
1: Buy a real whip, trust me.
2: Be careful, when they make the cracking noise the tip is breaking the sound barrier, keep your face out of the way.
