Every single Simpsons comic. I have no idea why I used to like them.

I once bought a Simpsons advent callender, but it was made by a really crappy chocolate company, and the treats subsequently tasted like poo. Aside from the DVDs, I don't normally go anywhere near the Simpsons merchandise. I'll probably read a Simpsons comic in store or receive presents, but that aside, I'm not into the whole Simpsons merchandise thing.

Hooray For Everything!

Hmmm...probably the Bellywashers. That juice is so disgusting! However, I do have a complete, unopened set of three that seems to be appreciating in value, according to eBay.

I've bought all kinds of crap from time to time, Simpsons stuff included. I love to collect junk like that, so I wouldn't say any of the stuff I've bought is really worthless. I do think all that stuff marketed towards 5-9 year olds (hats, shirts, other stuff) with Bart skateboarding is a bit of overkill though. The slogans printed all over them are ridiculous, stuff like "Tearin' Up The Pavement!". It's just so stupid

I didnt buy it but I have 3 Simpsons VHS's which are totally useless, since I dont have a VHS Player anymore.

Oh and my mum bought me some Simpsons Lemon Sherbert "Squishee" flavour biscuits, they tasted horrible. I took pics of them though and put them online. :P

The original is the best, only the classic years.

I guess the closest thing to crappiest would be The Simpsons complete guide "add-on" books, I mean they were good to read, but the thing that hurts it for me is the lagtime between the book's release date and the original airdate. One Step Beyond Forever is particularly odd in that I was kinda expecting them to put seasons 15 & 16 in there, but it wasn't there. Still, it beats the Family Guy episode guide book which frankly, is a much lamer version of the Simpsons complete guide books.

if they had done the book nicely, i probably wouldn't have cared about the poor quality of the episode.

what are "bellywashers"?

what was wrong with it?

there was a simpsons kite free with this month's UK simpsons comics so i picked it up...it was horribly small and the design on it was just the Simpsons logo. even worse than the frisbee they had.

I bought an easter egg that was 75g for €4. It was such a rip off!

they're these nasty drinks. at one point, they made the bottles have a Simpsons theme, with Homer as the cap, for example. They also had trivia on the bottle.

If it was a rip-off, why did you buy it?

Found a Simpson postcard book at a yard sale. ~Snapped it up~
Found out all the art work was the squiggly type from the Tracy Allman show :barf:

I have that, it's not bad...it's a step better than the early TA shorts.

And it can't possibly be worse than the Bart Simpson soap-on-a-rope.

Nothing, I don't really have any simpsons merchandise except videos, DVDs and books. Mainly because videos aren't great quality (the machine ate part of the tape) and that I'll own all these episodes on main DVDs. Not that it wasn't a good gift. Now actually I'd probably say the sweets that came with my Simpsons mug. It had these horrible penny-sweet-style doughnuts. The rest was good though.

I also got a Simpson Halloween toy with my Burger King meal. ..The paint job on the Maggie in a Pumpkin shell was all mismatched. The plastic had unshaved edges on it.

They tasted like (more) sugary juice boxes. They left a bad taste in my mouth. I ended up pouring out half of the bottle.

Pizza which featured the simpsons on the cover. If you count it. Anyway the pizza was just awful.

I just got it two days ago (22nd April) and I have to say, seasons 1-8 in a book for just a few dollars more than only seasons 13 and 14 is a pretty good buy, especially at 256 pages.

Christmas Homer on the couch. You press a button, and it says stuff from the show. It's still sitting on my bookcase, and the batteries have since died, since I haven't touched the thing since 2004.

Definately the Head Box Series 6 and 7. They are the biggest loads of crap I've ever seen. My series 7 Box didn't even have the booklet. You can't do anything with them, as soon as you touch them things start falling everywhere.
