Here is the section dedicated to all things shite and beautiful. Marvel at their cringesome low-budgetness, laugh at the fact that they exist, cry at the fact that they are doomed to failure. Examples of pointless things which were nearly included are: Push Pops (the whistle lollypop), ring pulls on Corn Beef tins (why, Vic, why?), and soap in France (because if statistics are anything to go by, it would never get used). Please feel free to email me with any further pointless inventions or people.


Hello, would you like an arm wrestle?

Without a doubt one of THE most low budget and pointless cartoons ever. Created by that ginger one from the Royal family, Fergie (in order to fund her fondness for squandering money on clothes, jewellery and pies), Budgie the Helicopter is possibly the worst hero ever invented. Firstly he doesn't have any limbs at all, making him an ideal target for kids with sticks to poke his eyes out. What kind of a hero doesn't have any limbs? He is a helicopter with a huge face, which is not only bloody spooky, but has already been done with trains (and they had the voice of Ringo Starr). The rotor blades are floppy and blue, and, oh, how sweet, he wears a cap with a lovely big blue B on it - B for Budgie? Or B for Bollocks? I think we all know the answer to that one. Budgie the Helicopter? Budget the Helicopter more like it...
