The Whipping Boy is no longer available. But Craig still has Carey & me!

Back on Friday, August 22^nd 2008 on the Daily Giz Wiz we went back to Dick’s Gadget Warehouse to meet the “YES MAN”. He’s a small talking head that always agrees with everything you say!  Hear that Netcast here: www.twit.tv/dgw640 

Whipping Boy (sometimes called the Whiner Doll) is a friend of the Yes, Man! Both were available starting in 1990 as fun gadgets produced by Rau Creations. How refreshing it was to know just about anything you do, no matter how bad, is not your fault! Yep, you can blame everything on the Whipping Boy.  Pass the blame onto him and he will immediately start apologizing. He’s voice activated. Say something to him like: “Why are these files so messed up?” Wait a beat and listen to what Whipping Boy has to say for himself! It’s always his fault! His responses include: 

"It was all my fault." / "How could I have been so stupid."

"I've screwed up again, why do you keep me around here?"

"Forgive me, forgive me, please."

"What a dumb thing to do. Fire me where I stand."

"I destroy everything I touch with my incompetence."

"I'm a disease, I make myself sick."

Even though you can still find Whipping Boy & Whiner Doll listed on many websites, I couldn’t find one that still had them for sale. Even though you can’t currently buy a Whipping Boy (Luckily Leo had Dane!) you can still hear him apologize here:
