* Exploited by Website/YouTube personality Jaxen Ross, who specializes in destroying children's toys. One of his most viewed videos is [[https://youtu.be/qFBHpYPkmVI Word Whammer Destruction 2]], where he tries to spell inappropriate words like "sex" using a Word Whammer. He spliced two clips together to make it seem like it really did. He later destroys the toy when it fails to say other inappropriate words.

** Referenced in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Lisa asks her friends whether there isn't something wrong with what their talking [[BlandNameProduct Malibu Stacy]] dolls say[[note]]referring to the terribly sexist and demeaning phrases[[/note]]. One girl responds, "There's something wrong with what ''my'' Stacy says"; when she pulls the string, we hear "[[Franchise/SpiderMan My spidey sense is tingling -- anybody call for a web-slinger?]]"

* When the movie ''Film/SpiderMan2'' was released, Toy Biz released a 18 inch Spider-Man action figure with over 67 points of articulation, including all his individual fingers. Of course, this caused many pranksters to make him flip the bird, and put him in many other inapropriate positions.

** Another Elmo doll, which could be programmed with the child's name, had a defect that [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=mEwqdlg_ZnY caused it to say "Kill James"]]. What it was actually supposed to say is unknown.

* Mike Motzart, that toy review guy from [=YouTube=], LOVES this trope and exploits it in many of his videos. Some of the exploits demonstrated have been fixed by toy manufacturers in subsequent revisions. His Leapfrog table exploit only worked on older models featuring the character "Lily" which had a compartment flap that came off very easily, said exploit involved removing the flap and toggling a switch rapidly to result in something that sounded like a ClusterFBomb. Newer models featuring the character "Dot" are unaffected as said flap is now molded in and is impossible to remove without breaking it off by force.

* When the movie ''{{Film/SpiderMan2}}'' was released, Toy Biz released a 18 inch Spider-Man action figure with over 67 points of articulation, including all his individual fingers. Of course, this caused many pranksters to make him flip the bird.

* In the ''Film/ChildsPlay'' movies, Chucky the doll [a battery-powered, talking [[{{Irony}} "Good Guy"]] doll] is possessed by the spirit of a serial killer. One can only imagine the inappropriate things he was saying to Andy, but onscreen we see and hear him [[ClusterFBomb going berserk]] when Andy's mom threatens to throw him into the fireplace if he didn't talk (thereby proving her suspicion that the doll was sentient).

* ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' has two such incidents involving its dolls. One Tinky Winky doll ostensibly said either "I got a gun!", but it was actually "Again, again!". A Po doll was thought to have said a homophobic slur along with "bite my butt", but she was actually saying "fidit", which means "faster" in Cantonese, a language that Po speaks on the show, and the second phrase was actually gibberish.

* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' has a quick sketch about a man playing with a See [='n=] Say in a store. When it lands on the [[VisualPun rooster]], it says, "YourMom says [''gargling noises''] cuz my c*ck's in her mouth. Get it kid? My c*ck in her mouth. [''makes more gargling noises'']"

* The Leapfrog Alphabet Pal Caterpillar has 26 feet, each with a letter of the alphabet on it, and one of its settings is to make the letter sound of the foot you press. You can use this to sound out almost any word you want... [[DevelopersForesight except Leapfrog had swear words in mind when they designed it.]] If you want to make it sound out the word "shit" for example (or ''most'' swear words) it will decide you are tickling it halfway through and then go on to say the next sound, so it's like this:
-->'''[Pressing S]:''' Sh
-->'''[Pressing H]:''' Huh
-->'''[Pressing I]:''' Ih
-->'''[Pressing T]:''' *giggle* That tickles! T.
