  “Real pregnancy action!”

  What new form of asshattery is this?

• [mccrum]

  When will the recursion end?!

  • [atteSmythe]

    It’s babies all the way down.

• [Gus Mueller]

  i just threw up a lot in my mouth

• [Brainspore]

  Just like Tribbles!

  • [Rich Keller]

    I thought this was a Shriekback reference. Until I know for sure, I’m not moving a muscle.

• [bo_burger]

  Hilarious!  3 layers of baby!  It’s like a turducken!  The problem with these joke toys is they aren’t actually built to be played with ( like narhwhal vs unicorn) otherwise I’d be tempted to boggle my kids’ minds with baby’s baby’s baby. 

• [arikol]

  the line that got me was “baby’s baby is pregnant too”…. that just freaks me the hell out.. 
  “now, you too can have a Joseph Fritzl type household, with Baby’s First Baby. Complete with child pregnancy!”

• [Christopher]

  Why isn’t baby’s baby’s baby also pregnant? Is it because those damn liberals made her get an abortion? 

• [bo_burger]

  AH!  So it’s an art piece not a gag toy:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/10/babys-first-baby-doll-darren-cullen_n_1955234.html

  What is this I don’t even

• [Ashen Victor]

  So wrong at so many levels… 

  • [chris jimson]

    Yeah, like an infinite number of levels, hence the little infinity symbols on the box art.

• [petertrepan]

  Did anyone view the site this came from? I am laughing at this so hard I can barely type.

     I really should have known.

    Well, actually, no I shouldn’t have. The difference between real life asshattery and the parodies thereof are getting really small and difficult to distinguish.

• [giantasterisk]

  Great idea! We can be rid of all those horrible, selfish childfree people.

  “It’s just going to get into this ridiculous Russian doll situation” ~ Jemaine

• [DoubleTee]

  Also: the “My Li’l Fetus” doll from Jack Womack’s novel” Random Acts of Senseless Violence”.

• [Anselm]

  Psh, the Russians are miles ahead of us. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matryoshka_doll

  Who’s the father?

• [willdao]

  Why the shock?  It’s surprising given boingboing’s presumed demographics.  As anyone who’s lived in public housing long has known, Babies having Babies has been an escalating social problem for decades, now.

• [willdao]

  Another point…wonder whether this gets us any closer to wrapping our heads around “I Am my Own Grandpa?”

  Nah, upon reflection: you just haveta sing it even faster.

• [disillusion]

  I heard you like babies, so we put a baby in yo baby so you can parent while you parent.

• [Bucket]

  The Tribbles, it must be said, were not impressed. 

• [Michael Leger]

  “Real pregnancy action!” is better than Real Conception action

  • [Jen Onymous]

     You, my friend, need to get out more.  :D

• [Preston Sturges]

  People used to take this literally, that the body contained the homunculi of the next generation….

• [Matthew Hutson]

  Yo dawg, I herd you like babies…

• [pjcamp]

  I didn’t know Honey Boo Boo came in a box.

  • [cdh1971]

    “Little Honey Boo Boo
    Hopping through the forest
    Scoopin’ up the Poodles
    Bop ‘em on the head!
    Then the Good Fairy came and said:
    ‘Little Honey Boo Boo
    I don’t wanna see you
    Scoopin’ up the Poodles
    Bop ‘em on the head!
    I’ll give you 3 chances,
    And if you don’t behave, I will turn you into a goon!”

• [chris jimson]

  This is what Sly Stone warned us about!

• [Martijn]

  Did Xzibit move into the toy making business?

• [Robert]

  So that’s how babby is formed.
