Pros and cons
What we like
- Decades-old novelty with its own rhyme printed on the tag
- Easy gift for a coworker you do not know well
- Plush body can be tossed or whacked without a mess
- Fits Funny Gifts exchanges at the office
What may bother
- One-note joke that wears off after the first laugh
- A gag rather than a lasting gift
- Says nothing about the recipient's tastes, so it feels impersonal
Our verdict
82 / 100Is the room one where a joke about frustration will go over well? If yes, this is an easy office present. It works best as an exchange gift or a desk extra. Skip it for a boss you barely know, or when a thoughtful present is expected.

Is there a specific way it's meant to be used?
Yes — it comes with a printed rhyme instructing the "stress relief" ritual, which is the core of the joke.
