Just watching breakfast cartoons on C5 (I know that's being unreasonable but little one is off to Milkshake Live soon, so needs to recognise some of the characters Smile) and an advert for a game came on.

Basically you play Russian roulette with a toilet, flushing it until one of the players gets sprayed with toilet water. WTF?! That's gross, right?

Here's a link to buy the game in case people think I'm making this up...

OP you sound like one of those people that would blame somebody being violent because of a video game

Let's hope that bucking broncos doesn't make your dc go out and load random household items onto a real life horse then!

My mum bought this for my DD for her birthday.
It's not a game that I would have bought, but my DD asked my mum for it.
Last week all the children who live on our street were sitting on our front garden playing it and having a great time. It was really lovely to see the little ones and the older children all having fun together.
As far as I know none of them have actually tried to play it with a proper toilet!
I prefer this game to the doggy do game that she asked for a while ago.

Scarlett, you've got me anxiously checking the ropes and candlesticks now. Grin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/07/2017 09:27

😂 My lot would have loved that game, in their younger days !

Loopsdefruits · 16/07/2017 09:28

Aside from the fact that this is just a game, and children find toilet humour hilarious, 'toilet water' isn't actually disgusting, it's just the same as water from a tap (unless you have a special system that doesn't use water from your water tank in the toilet) I wouldn't advocate drinking it, but assuming your toilet is regularly cleaned you're worrying over nothing.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 16/07/2017 09:30

I have to say, I didn't like that game either.
I don't mind pie face or whatever it's called, but I have no time for "games" that involve toilet water spraying! Gross.

Trollspoopglitter · 16/07/2017 09:42

I'm going to wait a year until they all end up in charity shops. I can't walk into one without finding a bucking bronco game for a pound Grin

It is a bit questionable but you know what they say, 'nobody ever got rich by overestimating the good taste of the general public' - or something like that. Time will tell if it becomes a best seller this Christmas.

Luckily my niece has just turned eleven and I think she'll turn her nose up at the thought so I don't think I'll have to play with this.

SootSprite · 16/07/2017 09:48

Dd turns 16 soon......I now have to go out and buy this as she and dh will love it 😂

TheVanguardSix · 16/07/2017 09:48

Lighten up OP.

Enjoy Milkshake Live.

CathyTrask · 16/07/2017 09:52

I'm a bit disappointed it doesn't involve actual toilet water.

RockyBird · 16/07/2017 09:55

This game sounds like a less messy Pieface. I'm going to get it for my nephew. He'll love it.

PolarBearGoingSomewhere · 16/07/2017 09:59

Yeah my 5 and 3 year olds would love that.

It's just a bit of fun, of the Gooey Louie / Pie Face genre.

ragged · 16/07/2017 10:04

HINT: It's not a real toilet, or real bog water.
Not unless you train pet rats to use the mini toilet, I guess. :)

VestalVirgin · 16/07/2017 10:07

Not my taste, but it is a well known fact that man children like toilet humour.

Can't get shocked over it.

We have this game. All 3 of mine loved it.
And you know what dc2 has sn and massivly struggling with potty training the games helped him not be so scared of a toilet.

I roll my eyes at those games, along with doggy doo and gooey Looey. Nothing like playing with dog shit and a snotty nose 🙄

I think they've run out of ideas for board games, do someone says 'I know, I've got a cracking idea, let the make a game where the kids get to play with snot'

Back in my day We had gooey Louie. If you picked the wrong bogie out of his nose his brains popped out..

Give me operation any day

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/07/2017 10:36

Children love toilet humour, I can see why it appeals. My dc always thought the words Poo, bum and wee were the most hilarious words known to man.

I would find it a pain to have to mop up water from the table, floor and dry off the dc every time we played it though!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/07/2017 10:41

I'd rather this game than Hungry Hippos- the loudest game in the world. Why can't they make the hippos out of soft foam instead of that hard rattly plastic..it's such a racket. I hid ours.

NeverGoOutOfStyle · 16/07/2017 10:43

Surely you just put a bit of fresh water in it rather than actual fill it with water out of the toilet?

KungFuPandaWorksOut16 · 16/07/2017 10:45

I'm loving that egg game at the minute you crack an egg and you could get wet. I wanted the toilet game and my husband shot the idea down because why would a 1 year old want that game? I meant for myself Blush
