knockoff

We live in a big world, and not everyone is willing to pay top dollar for "official" merchandise that may or may not be just as good as a knockoff. Yeah, you get a few incomprehensible spellings as well as some terrifying handmade statues of Shrek, but they all make for amazing and ridiculous knockoffs and bootlegs.

No one can really tell the difference if your bag says Gucci or Gercho, so who really cares, you know? Someone else around the corner has bootleg everything, from classic movies to Oreos. It just so happens that only sometimes bootleg and knockoff products become absurd.

Are you bored of seeing the same mainstream products, restaurants and entertainment over and over again? Well people are working around the clock to achieve that same brand recognition without having to pay pesky licensing fees. These desperate yet charming knockoff brands put smiles on our faces, even if the products themselves make no sense.

These ridiculous knockoff brands aren't fooling anyone. It's enjoyable to see how these knockoff brands and their half-baked attempts ended up coming out. Honestly, you might like some of the knockoff names better than the originals. 

Spooktober is just around the corner and our favorite bootleg crap is filling up store shelves. Costume makers will jump through some amazing hoops in order to not get dinged for intellectual property infringement and the results are pretty awesome. Can we interest you in dressing up as Blue Speed Mouse for halloween? Or how about you favorite Evil Midweek Cutie? For some actually spooky stuff to gear you up for haloween, check out these two-sentence horror stories.

Everyone's trying to make a quick buck and we don't blame em for getting as close as they can with bootleg products without getting arrested for violating some kind of copyright or trademark law. It's basically like a fun game to see what kind of bootleg Pringles people can come up with at this point. Prangles, prongles, you name it.

This could have just been some normal, run-of-the-mill copyright infringement, but it just had to be a weird mishmash of products and brands you'd never need or want. Who remembers the transforming robot from Frozen? Anyone?

Sit back with a bucket of KGB fried chicken and enjoy some of these bootlegs products. We can't tell if they're bad or AMAZING.

In a world where international copyright infringement isn't really enforced, you can get away with a lot of weird crap.

If the intent was to replicate the originals, these off-brands really screwed the pooch.

The holiday season is coming up! You might be able to save some money on gifts by getting your friends and family some of this derivative crap.

With these off-brand halloween costumes, you'll fit right in with the likes of your favorites like superhero Arachnid-Human! Or how about something from the Magical World of  Larry Plopper, the teen warlock!

A few of these bootlegs seem better than the originals. Not sure about Burggers but it's probably got to do with juicy buns filled with Grade-A Beef.

Christmas is around the corner! Still time to get your kid that Parkachoo and a half-off Woody from Toy Story 6.

Stock available. You can still order your Meats by Dre.

How could not love these bootleg monstrosities?
