Shrek Crap: Volume IV!

In what for the good of mankind must be the last Shrek-related article to ever appear on this site, I present the fourth and final installment of Shrek Crap Our last look at the ogre's massive attack on everything sold everywhere includes his revamp of Milton Bradley's Operation, a wacky dress-up kit and a Play-Doh set that lets children create & mutilate Shrek's teeth just for the Hell of it. The movie's out now and doing extremely well. Is it because it's really funny or because everyone ate the green popcorn?

Has anybody seen the dodge ad’s associated with Shrek, what grown adult is going to make a 30,000 dollar purchase because it has a green ogre as the spokesman, well besides me that is :)

Hey, Matt… did you get my e-mail about Shrek invading the crane machines?

You might have to do articles on Spider-Man 2 now… did you hear there will be Spider-Man advertisements on the bases at MLB games within the next few weeks? It’s too much, damn it.

Now that Shrek is in theatre we can now await the Spiderman 2 marketing blitz to hit full force.
And, oh yes, there is already talk of Shrek 3.

Hit the grocery store today. Has anyone else seen the "summer" candies that Hershey’s is putting out? Ice Cream flavored Kisses (Strawberry and Double Fudge) and Pina Colda White Chocolate Almond Joy (Pineapple flavored coconut basically and it isn’t half bad) just to name a few

I look forward to the Spidey 2 blitz. Already started picking up the notables. :)

I didn’t get the e-mail about the Shrek crane. Something must be fucked with my acct; this is happening a lot lately.

What, no Shrek-themed Queasy-Bake Oven?

I can’t wait for the Spiderman 2 blitz myself. Finally, a merchandising attack from a movie I actually give a damn about :)

It’s a crappy picture, but you can see the Shrek sticker in the corner and Donkey’s ass sticking out on the bottom. There were about 7 Shrek dolls in there… it was an intense experience. Of course, the only item I tried getting was that cling-on Spidey.

Retailers are complaining that Shrek 2 is hurting their sales b/c people are going to see the movie rather than shop. Cnn.com article. ridiculous.

why is the "Onion Breath" not located *inside* Shrek? Does Onion Breath cause tumors?

At the local Burger King there’s a giant Shrek inflatable on top of the restaurant that makes it looks like he’s climbing over the side of the building. It’s really cool.

Any chance of a Spideycrap article when that movie comes out?

Chestnuts roasted by JLAJRC @ 05/25/2004 5:51 PM

I have seen a Doc Ock figure at Wal-Mart! Finally! But maybe too many Spideys on the racks. Kinda like the hundreds of BatMan varients that were out from Kenner. Viking BatMan?

With all the marketing blitz, it’s a good thing the movie is actually relly good. But if those are really what I think they are in the third photo, then maybe it’s gone just a weeee bit too far.

Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 05/25/2004 6:02 PM

IMO, the movie really is that funny. I’m still sick to death of all the Marketing…I certainly don’t remember all of this stuff for the orginal Shrek.

As for "Shrek 3," I say if they can make the second sequel every bit as funny and original as the first one, go right ahead. Just hold down the marketing blitz this time around.

Is it just me or is Operation Shrek wearing Spiderman underwear?

Chestnuts roasted by Dane E. Coffey @ 05/25/2004 7:05 PM

All this Shrek crap and I can’t even find a single Master of the Universe figure? For shame.

I cannot help but stare at that picture of the hulk wearing the shrek version of the hulk hands. Just something about it awes me.

Speaking of e-mails, Matt, did you get the photog-boxing-photog e-mail?

Chestnuts roasted by Mr. Mr. Mr. @ 05/25/2004 9:16 PM

Blue Lazer has stolen the Cobra Commanders! They’ll be unable to finish the Chia Plot!

Blue Lazer Commander: Capture the Cobra Commanders!

Gunhaver: Quick Everyone! To the Reynold’s Apartment Extreme Playset!

Blue Lazer Commander: Destroy the Playset!

*Firebert blows up BL’s base, setting the Cobra Commanders free*

Blue Lazer Commander (to one of his minions): I just HATE you SOOO MUCH!

The Cobras are saved! Now they can finish the Chia Plot!

Gunhaver: Good job, Cheat Commandos!

Cheat Commandos! Rock, rock on!

What is a "photog" anyway?

And what does Matt do with all the junk he must buy for his articles? Is he taking up 3 Public Storage lockers now? Or does he hold a garage sale once a month?

Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 05/25/2004 9:29 PM

I would love for Matt to hold a garage sale. I would fly all the way to New York from Calgary just to witness it.

And for the record, I have an even stranger "Operation" game–it features a Tyrannosaurus, and one of the items to remove? A perfectly spherical egg. The best part–instead of a terrifying buzz when you screw up, you get an aggravating and disheartening ROAR (and, as always, the object becomes avoiding said roar).

Chestnuts roasted by Sean @ 05/25/2004 9:44 PM

With all the Shrek crap, there’s one item in stores that Shrek won’t put his face on but Spider-Man will–Bounty paper towels.

Chestnuts roasted by Luap @ 05/25/2004 9:59 PM

Upload a new article ASAP because the shrek looks like that creepy pokemon with the big wig and its creepy.

I’m putting pudding pies in my animation secret-like.
