World's Worst Pictionary Players
February 25, 2010 Seriously - don't let any of these Wreckerators on your team.
On the one hand, I know this is probably supposed to be a car.On the other hand... are you frickin' kidding me?
You know that control panel on Darth Vader's chest plate - the thing with all the boxes and lights? Yeah, that. Well, imagine that mashed up with a guitar, only they're both made out of balloons. Or maybe jelly beans. Got it? Can you see it? Good.
Now, tell me...does the thing you're imagining...look something like this?
Yes? No?A-hah! Dang, I'm good.
Ok, here's where things get interesting: Go grab your friends/co-workers/family members, and see who can correctly identify these objects the fastest (if at all). Answers are at the bottom.
Ready?
And...
Go!
Time's up!
How'd you do? Here are your answers:
1) A hand mixer. Or possibly a hair dryer. But probably a hand mixer.
2) Ballet slippers
3) A helicopter
4) I have no idea. Really. Your guess is as good as mine. (Ugly little bugger, though, isn't it?)
Heather E., Anne D., Lisa O., Leah C., Tessa, & Jenny, if you're lucky enough to live near Austin, Texas, you simply MUST go to the That Takes The Cake show this weekend. Their theme this year is Science Fiction & Fantasy, people. I hear someone is making a gumpaste Zaphod Beeblebrox. I mean, come ON. Could that BE any cooler?

My guesses were 1) hand mixer, 2) a vagina, 3) a plastic shovel on some white dog poop, and 4) ???.
I'm likely not the first to comment, but that last one is likely meant to be a car. A beat-nik peaceloving Bug. Thus your comment is quite fitting.
Seriously though: ballet slippers?? Helicopter?? not seeing either.
I got the first one right!! I think maybe I'll make that last onr my birthday next month and see how many people ask what it is and how many just give empty compliments... hee hee
The "guitar" also looks suspiciously chicken leggish. If the chicken had rickets, that is.
My answers:
1) A hand mixer (DING DING DING!!!)
2) A deep-sea or tropical fish (Booo!)
3) A spatula on a grill plate....in the ocean
4) Something from Monsters vs Aliens (and I don't know which side it's on, either!)
The first one could be a tiger hat with eyes.... But maybe that's just how I saw it.
I think no. 4 is a toy van. It actually looks like the front of one my nieces have if you can stretch your imagination that far. Too bad they didn't add the button that
makes it play music and car noises. CCM
For the last one I'm going to guess Mystery Machine...except maybe the baker has never seen Scooby Doo
I had hand mixer, sneakers, spoon in a bowl, and VW bus (mystery machine?)
At least I could tell that was a mixer, however the decorator was definitely not looking at one for inspiration and trying to pipe by memory. Bad idea. And the helicopter, it looks more a weird raft and oar commbo. I would never have guessed ballet slippers but for the great hint, "Dance". Thanks wrekerator for helping out!

I thought the second one was lips with a major problem, & the third looked like a spatula on the stove. ?? I think that last one is supposed to be the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine van.
I could have sworn that helicopter was a record player.
1) Hand mixer.
2) Pink football?
3) GRAY ICING?! Dead fire-breathing snake? Totally unappetizing.
3)Re: "car" - Herbie the Lovebug on an acid trip?
Hand mixer was obvious, if terribly done (like the car). I guessed "fish" for the second one too, and had no idea for 3 and 4. :)
I agree with Jill, when i looked at the "guitar" cake, I was thinking chicken leg...
wv: fowle..the guitar cake was very fowle!
And I soo wish I lived in Texas, I would love to see the Zaphod Beeblebrox cake! Just watched that movie last night! (again!) Maybe a field trip is in order...;)
The top one has to be a pop-up camper that you would pull behind a car or truck.
As for #3 I say it is a raft on the ocean.
I guessed the helicopter --- that I guessed it makes me a little bit afraid for my mental status. I thought the ballet slippers were either a bustier or a fish with no tail. The mixer ---- looked more like an Escher drawing with antenna (the beaters). (I've never seen a polka dot mixer.) The last one I think is what happens when your airbrush burps on a cake, so you let it burp more colors onto it so that it looks like "something." Maybe sort of tie dye???
Maybe they tasted good?
I couldn't figure any of those out...I thought #3 was an inflatable life raft and oar in the water...I never would have thought of a helicopter.
As simply as most of them are drawn, you would think they could have gotten the point across a little clearer. Just goes to show that you don't need to add a whole lot of crap to confuse people!!
Here were my guesses:
1) Sewing Machine
2) Bustier
3) Lifeboat and paddle on choppy water
4) Epcot
A helicopter? If you say so. o.O My guess was a electric burner with a wooden spoon on fire on top of it. And Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!
I know what four is. It's suppose to be a flowered sixties hippy Chevy love van as seen headon. It's got a silhouette behind the imaginary steering wheel and big side mirror.
I think the helicopter is a paddle in a doody-dingy life raft on a stormy ocean.
1. got it, but stymied by the spots
2. bug/fish?
3. innertube and paddle?
4. taxi with exhaust pipe? we-come-in-peace spacecraft?
Huh, I thought that the helicopter was an inner tube or raft floating on water with an oar.
1) Hand mixer (got it in 1!)
2) Pac-man in drag
3) Giant inner tube and paddle for tube-ing on the water
4) Drug-induced hallucination
#1 & #4 I could not figure out.
#2 - I thought was a pink football
#3 - I thought was a champagne flute on silver poo (not sure why you would serve it on poo though)
Love this blog!
The first one is a Nemo Clown(fish) car!
Yeah, I think the last one is a hippie bus. It has the suggestion of wheels, and acid-green flowers are sort of code for, "I am a hippie bus!" even if the rest of the object is unintelligible.
Ballet slippers?? All I saw was a fish ^__^
wv:uvidi - Uvidi to be horribly confused by some baked goods?
I just realized, these could be Cake Wrecks rorschach tests!
What do you see and why? Hmm, champagne flute on poo, what does that say about me? :-)
Here were my guesses:
1 - hand mixer
2 - some kind of Fish (maybe on acid?)
3 - A raft on a river with a paddle
4 - WTF??? no clue
I had:
1. Hand mixer
2. lips
3. Inflatable raft and paddle (I was actually pretty sure about that.)
4. VW bus
Why does the erm... mixer(?) have chicken pox?
Really WHY??
I thought the ballet slippers were lungs.
Really, the hand mixer was the only one I got right. :)
I had 1) hand mixer (yay for me!) 2) lips or a fish 3) a unicycle (you canNOT convince me that's a helicopter) 4) a rotten Valentine's Day cake.
Darn it! I got the hand mixer so fast, I was sure I was on the fast track to 100%. But I guessed the ballet slippers cake (really?) was a fish, and the helicopter (*REALLY*?!?) was a plastic shovel in a sandbox.
I was completely clueless on (4) but terrified it would turn out to be a thong on an anatomically impossible woman.
I'm thinking number 4 is a head on shot of a school bus? See what could be a square windshield, two wheels and a stop sign on the right side?
Maybe? possibly?
Ahh this made me Lol. Even though I couldnt tell what three of them are. I think the last ones a car though. Still its a pathetic cake.
I'm pretty sure #4 is a turtle. An ugly turtle.
Am I the only one who finds that much grey icing vomit-inducing??
Looking at number 4 again - maybe a firetruck? it is red - lights on top?
My guesses were:
1. Hand mixer
2. Pink Trilobite
3. Curling Stone
4. Some sort of vehicle?
I think that last one is the Scooby mobile. Or something...
I believe the very first post is a school bus. It's plain as day. :rolling eyes:
I think the helicopter is actually a chicken leg on a dinner plate - hence the name "picnic cake" on the cake box sticker.
I got the hand mixer, guessed "fish" for #2 (how could I have missed the word "dance"?), chicken leg/plate for #3 and Partridge Family van for #4 (although I concede that I am probably one of the few people who remember that show and agree it is more likely Scooby's Mystery Van).
How did they get a helicopter out of that?
My guesses:
1) hand mixer
2) bustier
3) baseball and bat
4) VW van
I actually think the handmixer cake is absolutely adorable :D
Wow, I got the mixer right but after that I guessed: a fish, an innertube with an oar and I had no idea what the last thing was lol
My guesses were- hand mixer, fish, record player and..VW van? From the front view?
I thought #3 had something to do with curling, a Winter Olympic sport as mysterious as that cake!
I thought the first one was a cannon (I've just recently watched Muppets From Space). 2nd lips or a fish. 3rd a curling stone. And that 4th one is just a hot mess.
