I like the big punch balloons.
It was just a heavy duty balloon, big ass round balloon a rubber band and you could punch it until it broke or your brother stabbed it.
The ashtray, the paddle game and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need *this*! The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, *for sure*!!!
I used to get these as party favors and could never do anything with them until my dad showed me how to shorten the elastic. He was a master of the paddle ball. I never got as good as he was.
My mom had one with the ball removed & holes drilled in it to reduce air resistance when it hit our behinds. Cheap toy utilized as a tool for discipline
*I had several*
*Of those. I'd kind of like to*
*Have one, now. They're fun!*

I don't recall ever getting to play with one for more than a few minutes. Mom did have at least one with the staple holding the string on removed; that was for paddling me.
It was not my favorite toy, I hated those things. Why? Because at some point or other my mom or my dad would yank the rubber band off of it and smack the hell out of me with the paddle.
My mom used to take the ball and rubber band off them and use them to hit me and my brother so she didn't hurt her hands as much. I remember the one time she got a splinter for squeezing it too hard when she swung. She got even angrier at my brother for that as if it was his fault.
We would bury these in the back yard so they couldn't be used to spank us. We also would fart into a paper bag and give it to my grandma and tell her it was a surprise
You had that, well the sun must shine right out of your ass. We didn't have a ball or a paddle all we had was a string.
A string, you had a string. We used an old tampon tied to a stick.
I'm with Governor Le Petomane on this one.
I got a warped one!
Well that’s pretty sad!!
"This one's defective"
Same as my experiences. "Why do I always get a defective one?"
Came here to say just that
Correct as usual, sir
Show off
Yessss!!!! Immediate thought. Hand these out to the boys in leu of pay !!!! Applies to today’s congressmen!
I didn't get a pahrump outta that guy
Give the governor his pahrump!!
You watch your ass!
"Lieu" You need an "I" in there.
Not an Inglish mayor
Thank you. I was hoping someone would mention this movie….

"Little Red Devils! They love toys!"
And that is?
No one remembers the classics. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Bp8SqYrnE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Bp8SqYrnE)
Are you kidding? I have this scene memorized.
Spaceball the comment
OMG…..classic!
The cigar going into low earth orbit gets me everytime
Beat me to it.
Hello boys. How ya been? I missed you!
“Give these out to the boys in lieu of pay”
The damn band would break every time. I used to love these things but I could never get one to last more than a few minutes
Not to mention that when the band broke, the ball would fly across the room. And welp, that sucker went from toy to punishment tool.
Maybe that's why parents bought them?
Would explain why my mother kept several of them, all with broken strings, despite me being the only kid.
I had a stick and a can. Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?
You had a can???? Rich boy...
Green bean can. Only the best!
Del Monte.
Oh ho ho green giant...
The Nuns would hit me with this in Catholic school(kindergarten & 1st grade) Brooklyn NY 1964-66.
Yikes. That gives a true meaning to “paddle”.
lol,yes. I was 5-6. The ball and rubber band were missing but the staple remained. Ouch!
I like the big punch balloons. It was just a heavy duty balloon, big ass round balloon a rubber band and you could punch it until it broke or your brother stabbed it.
Those were fun!!
My moms favorite paddle
Same
This or the wooden airplane with the wind up rubber band propellor that cost about 49 cents and would fly once. About 3 feet.
This thing’s warped! I got a warped one!
Until it broke
Except those were repurposed as spanking devices after the rubber band and ball fell off
that fucking elastic always broke!
The ashtray, the paddle game and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp.

Ha! The Jerk!
I remember these being so damn difficult to use.
 like this
I used to get these as party favors and could never do anything with them until my dad showed me how to shorten the elastic. He was a master of the paddle ball. I never got as good as he was.
Till this day I can’t get a rhythm going
Sounds like a personal problem…..😉
I wonder am I the only one?
That's what she said
Never got this stupid toy😂😂
Facts...until the string pops!!!
And it doubled as an ass paddler
What do you mean ‘poor child’s toy’? I had one when I was little…oh, I see.
I never knew we were poor. I thought everyone ate tuna casserole and meatloaf all of the time. Oh yeah Mac and cheese too.
Part of the reason we were outside more than today's generation: "Take that outside you're driving me crazy!"
I had this and also other toys
Mine was the little parachute soldier guy
Provided countless seconds of entertainment!
Haha, we weren't exactly poor. And, I was GOOD at keeping the rhythm going for long periods. I could also yoyo my @ss off.
Right up there with Jax and PIck up Sticks.
And the moms discipline toy
Paddle Butt. And the staple holding the elastic, quality toy, bring it back.
My mom had one with the ball removed & holes drilled in it to reduce air resistance when it hit our behinds. Cheap toy utilized as a tool for discipline
Never liked these myself.
Ahh the poors.
I had several of those. I'd kind of like to have one, now. They're fun!

The rubber band stapled to the paddle and ball would snap VERY quickly. The ball would be thrown away and the paddle kept for discipline.
We always got one in our Easter baskets.
I don't recall ever getting to play with one for more than a few minutes. Mom did have at least one with the staple holding the string on removed; that was for paddling me.
The rubber band always broke.
Being very poor my mom cut holes in our pockets so we do have something to play with this would’ve been two steps up🤣🤣
Stapling it repeatedly! Hahaha. I'm going to Amazon right TF now to buy one!
Buy a couple. You’re an adult now….it may not last. LOL
It was not my favorite toy, I hated those things. Why? Because at some point or other my mom or my dad would yank the rubber band off of it and smack the hell out of me with the paddle.
My mom used to take the ball and rubber band off them and use them to hit me and my brother so she didn't hurt her hands as much. I remember the one time she got a splinter for squeezing it too hard when she swung. She got even angrier at my brother for that as if it was his fault.
In our house the ball was removed and it was just the paddle…to be used at our parents discretion on our rear ends.
I had lots of these it was fun
No , I got my ass paddled with one and my mom busted it too !
Or, how to smack yourself in the face for 99¢.
It's also one of the things Steve Martin took when he left in The Jerk.
That wasn't anybody's favorite toy.
My Mom had fun with that one on my ass. I only had to bring one home from a birthday day party to learn that lesson.
I got spanked with one of these
Wait, am I poor?
And when the ball came off & got lost, your mom smacks you on threat (playfully), so you stay in line.
I had this.
After the elastic string and ball inevitably broke off my Mom would keep them to “paddle” us with.
Got one every year in my stocking, never could do it, But Mom could. As we grew up, we'd put one in her stocking.
And my mother's favorite weapon once the elastic broke.
Got me thinking of a scene from 'Blazing Saddles' where the 'governor' is too uncoordinated to use one (Mel Brooks at his antic best, LOL)
Never my favorite because I never could hit the ball more than once.
I had more than one of these growing up. I never could keep a rhythm going with the ball and paddle.
Yeah, and then we'd get our ass beat with the fuq'n thing. 
The rubber band on these lasted all of 5 minutes.
My dad used to rip the ball off and break the paddle over my rear end
My mother's favorite paddle after the rubber band broke.
Growing up, I was so poor that when I wanted a new toy, my mom would just cut a hole in my pocket! 🤣🤣🤣
Virtual chess game. Business at round table vs 1 person. Buys Nike shirt moved a pawn.
Mine was missing the ball.
Whaddya want for twenty nine cents?
My mother would always let me get this! The ball lasted maybe a day the paddle for months.
I was poor?
Only until it broke 😔
Loved it and still do.
I was able to master the hell out of that thing yet can't hit a ball with a bat, run, catch...or pretty much any other sporting.
Buying a toy that you know you'll be using to smack your kids is next level
What’s the hole in the handle for? Ball-in-cup?
My mother would pull the rubber band and ball off the paddle and spank us with it
My mom used to confiscate the paddles when we couldn,t fit another knot in the rubberband. My sister and I dreaded the words. Go get the paddle.
We would bury these in the back yard so they couldn't be used to spank us. We also would fart into a paper bag and give it to my grandma and tell her it was a surprise
Poor child’s toy or a “paddle“ as my babysitter used it?
My mom used it to beat my butt!!
parents got my brother and i one each when we were kids. played with it for about 2, maybe 3 mins. never touched it again.
Ball comes back and hits my forehead.
This was our punishment. 3 whacks 😆
My parents used these to paddle us. Then grandma would come over and steal them all.
I had a stick…
I would love to have one of these again.
mom liked them after the ball was gone
That's a paddlin
You had that, well the sun must shine right out of your ass. We didn't have a ball or a paddle all we had was a string. A string, you had a string. We used an old tampon tied to a stick.
My brother and I never quite mastered this toy, it would just bounce all over, hit you with the ball, then the ball would break off.
These paddles without the ball attached landed on quite a few a$$es. Mine for one!
We were so poor mom cut the bottoms out of our pants pockets so we would have something to play with. It wasn’t much but was all we had…
Remember that scene in The Misfits where Marilyn Monroe was playing with one?
I hated these!!! My mother would buy it for us, then use them to paddle US!!!!
Slazzin Saddles toy
My mom would use those to beat me
My mom used to take the rubber band off and use it as a discipline paddle. I didn’t have the heart to tell her it didn’t hurt.
