Walmart slammed by furious parents over toy that tells sick jokes about 'drive by shootings' & raunchy sex content

A TIKTOK mom has come forward with outrage on the internet over an inappropriate toy.

Without warning, this toddler plaything has dropped references of drive-bys and sexual scandal.

"I was just coming on here because I need TikTok to do its thing," Ashley Lynn, @mamabearash on the platform started the video with the disclaimer.

She even displayed the adult jokes that the remote, which her grandmother claims she got from Walmart, on TikTok.

Just the press of a few buttons made the remote play its recorded blue comedy.

Alluding to a violent act, it says, "You'll never guess what makes a 'clip-clop, clip-clop, bang, bang, clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop' noise."

After a brief pause, the toy answers, "An Amish drive-by shooting."

Making another adult joke, the remote chimed "How many Catholic priests does it take to screw in a light bulb into its socket?"

Answering its own joke question, the remote said: "Two. One to do the screwing, and one to hear the confession."

As the voice previously recorded on the toy plays, Ash looks at the camera in disappointment and shock.

Another joke dropped by the remote was: "Tom told his friend he has a job with 10,000 people under him.

"His friend replied, 'Wow, he must be the CEO of a corporation.

"Tom said, 'No, he cuts the grass in a cemetery.'"

"My grandmother got my son this toy remote," she said, holding up the yellow remote control that mimics a television changer with unique lights, sounds, and perhaps too colorful a sense of humor.

"It's the Linsay brand... She purchased this at Walmart."

In proper Christmas Day fashion, they put batteries in the new toy and let her son get to playing with it, but unpleasant surprises were ahead.

"Then, my mom hears something and she calls us all in, and she's like, 'it just said something about a drive-by shooting.'"

Ash, simply stunned by the notions being poured into her child's ear with a seemingly-innocent play device ended her video with, "Walmart, explain this. Linsay toys, explain this."

Pondering if she has legal grounds on such an uncomfortable circumstance, she said: "Blow this up. Do I have a lawsuit? Lawyers, help me out."

One parent in the comment disapproved of the toy, but defended Walmart, suggesting they "Might not know about it.

"Linsay should be ashamed! Hopefully Walmart pulls from the shelf once they find out," they continued.

A second commenter thought the brand itself was suspicious.

They said: "Am I the only person that has never heard of Linsay brand for children's toys?"

Yet another comment suggested that perhaps it had been hacked.

"I wonder if someone bought that, reprogrammed it, and returned it," they pondered, introducing a new possibility to the whole ordeal.

Walmart and Linsay have both been contacted by The U.S. Sun for comment.
