Funeral Barbie   (+11)  [vote for, against]
Playing with grief...

Barbie comes with all kinds of action sets. Beach Barbie, Sports Car Driving Barbie...

Why not Funeral Barbie?

Little casket... nice burial tux for Ken, and a play embalmer...

For all the little funeral director wannabe's...

Also available with pressed meat skin. Dig her up after a week to see her degrade.

How about a tiny urn filled with melted plastic - Crematorium Barbie. No moving parts, so it'd be cheaper to make.

You could make it part of the set - slide barbie's coffin in one side of the crematorium and collect candy powder that poures out the bottom into a tiny urn. A single AA battery powers the flickering light inside.

Candy powder? What kind of precedent is that going to set for the young tyke?

"Mommy?"
"I'm busy in the kitchen, dear."
"But Mommy, was Grandma evil?"
"No dear. Grandma's gone to heaven."
"Then why doesn't she taste like sweeties?"

[lostdog] Soul Barbie would be even cheaper.

I thought the casket was for Ken, aging preppy of questionable sexual orientation. She has moved on to an Aussie surfer, who is, I am guessing, 35 years younger than herself. You go girl...

Play Addams Family music.

Enter Uncle Fester and Wednesday.

Uncle Fester: Hey there Wednesday, watcha playing with?

Wednesday: I'm playing with my new Funeral Barbie. They're all the rage at school.

Uncle Fester: Oh really?

Exit Wednesday and Uncle Fester.

Play add on TV.

Would street whore Barbie come with a Ken pimp?
-- zigness, May 09 2004


Duh... Barbie doesn't come with Ken, she comes with Action Man... she fakes it with Ken

"A useful tool to aid social workers etc when helping a child come to terms with loss, and explore their feelings of grief using barbie-based role-play, preparing her for the traumatic ordeal of a funeral/wake etc.

A snip at only $50 or $60 with the special black make-up accessory pack and daring funeral mini-skirt."

Black widow Barbie.
Poor Ken is just her latest victim.

Damn. My first idea in ages and [zigness] beat me to the punchline by 18 years...
-- wagster, Feb 23 2022


I'm happy to see this idea again, I had forgotten it. I want the sleazy coffin salesman action figure!
