Line 9:
** A similar talking doll, Cricket, had no such limitations.
* The Leapfrog Alphabet Pal Catterpillar 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... [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|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:
{{quote|
'''[Pressing H]:''' Huh
'''[Pressing I]:''' Ih
'''[Pressing T]:''' *giggle* That tickles! T. }}
** You can still make it say "I see you pee", "You be in pee" and "I see a titty."
* Several years ago, one could find [[G.I. Joe]] action figures with voice chips that said things like "Yo Joe!", "ATTAAACK!", and "Vengeance is mine!", and [[Barbie]] <s>action figures</s> dolls with voice chips that said things like "Let's go shopping!", "Math is Hard!", and "Will we ever have enough clothes?" Inevitably, the Barbie Liberation Front went to Toys R Us, bought a bunch of each, and swapped the voice chips between the Joes and the Barbies. ''And then returned them all to the store.'' One may logically presume that [[Hilarity Ensued]].
** Referenced in an episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'': Lisa asks her friends if there isn't something wrong with what their talking [[Expy|Malibu Stacy]] dolls say.<ref>referring to the terribly sexist and demeaning phrases</ref>
* In the ''[[
* The Tickle Me Elmo doll is a talking doll that shakes and giggles when you touch it in several ways. Just ripe for abuse.
** One variant I have seen is an Elmo in shackles and ball-gag. When it is activated, it appears to struggle with it's bonds and mumble behind the gag. Yes, that sounds horrible, but a muppet in bondage gear is just funny squared.
*** And then there's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6MhR1S1SlY this.]
** Someone decided to see what would happen if they set an Elmo on fire. The results are [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|very, very unsettling.]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYGhmJD9LKc Watch] [[Schmuck Bait|at the risk of sleeping tonight.]]
** In 2006, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090205181410/http://www.clickorlando.com/news/5784303/detail.html a talking Elmo book was somehow programmed to say "Who wants to die?"]
*** He's actually saying "Who has to go [to the bathroom]?" [[Mondegreen|but it doesn't sound like it]].
**** It was a chip manufacturing defect. However, many sound books do go berserk when their battery is run down, either starting to sound demonic, or cut off the speech halfway through. The latter can cause the book to say some pretty shocking things. Oh, by the way, said Elmo book was from the same publisher as the infamous Lion King sound book. You know, the one with the defect that may cause the book to say something that sounded like "Squashed bananas up your ass" if you time your button presses right.
Line 28:
* At the end of his book ''Masters of [[Doom]]'', David Kushner told of how his local Chuck E. Cheese had computers that spoke, but were programmed to reject swear words. He then set it up to [[Cluster F-Bomb|say "phuk the manager" on a loop]].
* Played for laughs on an episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'':
