After wandering through target recently, I came across some of the toys for the latest Batman franchise movie, The Dark Knight Rises. Those movies, even at PG-13, are super mature and aimed much more adults – which is whay I found it so funny that the action figures for the movie are targeted for ages 4 and up. After buying up a bunch of Mattel toys and convincing the Taylors to let their son Joey (pretend to) swear, I’ve ended up with this sketch for this week’s The Daily Buzz.
I’ve always wanted to make a old-school toy commercial!

I thought the same thing when I saw all the toys in stores. I wouldn’t let my 5 year old watch the film, yet, but she does get excited when she sees the toys, so I guess there’s some connection there.
