# Offensive Desk Toys Terry the Swearing Turtle By Cowbag | Published 2008-11-17 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-core-swearing-turtles-offensive-desk-toys References: [firebox](http://www.firebox.com/product/2179/Terry-Turtle) This would become massively annoying, but it is also a really cool [office toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slidergamemackey) called Terry Turtle. In short, he is a [motion-activated turtle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboturtle) who pops out of his shell to tell you a number of [profane things](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youll-swear-by-them). The video shows it all--I know I am a child to find him funny, but I can't help it. I am properly giggling to the video, please don't judge me. (UK people: Doesn't he sound like Russell Brand at the end?) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Desk Toys:** There is room for development of desk toys that are activated by motion to provide an interactive desk experience. - **Humorous Office Tools:** There is immense potential in creating humorous office tools that can lighten up mundane office tasks or create a fun environment. - **Profanity-based Products:** There is room for development of more 'adult-only' toys, items or products based on profanity or edgy humor for a niche and younger demographic. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics may benefit from creating more interactive desk toys as a way of improving their appeal. - **Toy Industry:** The toy industry could explore more humor-based toys or tools that can serve as a way for individuals to create a more engaging work environment. - **Gifting Industry:** The gifting industry could create a new gift category or subset of gifts dedicated to humor, profanity, or edgy humor - benefiting from products like Terry Turtle. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [All-in-One Splash Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-splash-and-bubbles.md) - [Programmable Pocket-Sized Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kt2-kungfu-turtle.md) - [Video Game Desktop Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-talking-flower.md) - [Children Meditation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-meditation-turtle.md) - [Humorous Profanity Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuck-this-candle.md) - [Innovative Outdoor Play Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtle-splash.md) - [Collectible Dinosaur Desk Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-dino.md) - [Dumpster Pencil Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dumpstuder-pencil-holders.md) - [Food-Shaped Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stress-pickle.md)
