February 2, 2005 — Everyone enjoys a good laugh at the expense of the hillbilly, trailer park, mullet toting minority. How else has Jerry Springer been able to stay on the air for well over 10 years? Even though it's probably in bad taste to refer to someone as "trailer park trash", it's a term everyone is familiar with. Hey...there's even a Trailer Trash Doll.

There are currently two Trailer Trash Dolls available from Arsenic and Apple Pie (Gibby Novelties LLC). Now, these figures are specifically not marketed towards children, for reasons that I will discuss later. Those of us who have a good sense of humor and enjoy funny novelty items such as a talking, pregnant hillbilly will probably be the ones purchasing the Trailer Trash Dolls.

Both characters come packaged in similar, blue boxes. The rear of the package is littered with good, humorous reading.

Trash Talkin' Turleen: 8/10

Turleen actually speaks by pushing a button on her pregnant stomach. She has several different, sometimes very interesting sayings. You can actually try it out by clicking the image below. Go ahead. Give it a shot.

Now, no one here condones smoking or drinking while you're pregnant, but you must remember that this toy is supposed to be a joke. So don’t smoke, don't do drugs, don't drink (unless you're of legal age and not pregnant), and take your vitamins and floss daily...whew!

Let's actually talk about the figure now. Turleen looks a whole lot like a Barbie. I wouldn't be surprised if the same company that supplies the Barbie bodies is the same one that supplies the Trailer Trash Dolls. I only know what a Barbie looks like because I have a younger sister and when she annoyed me, her Barbie's took the brunt of the punishment. The hair rollers, heavy makeup and missing tooth all add to her "trashiness". Plus, she comes with another baby and a designer leather jacket.

Classic Trailer Trash Doll: 7.5/10

The classic doll looks very similar to Turleen. The head is actually the same, except for a different hairdo. Of course, the classic doll is not pregnant and does not speak, but she is adorned with a nice set of Daisy Dukes and a six-pack of beer. Boy...you would think that people who live in trailer parks just sit around all day long, pumping out babies, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes.

Both dolls are available through the official Trailer Trash Doll website. The classic trailer trash doll sells for $24.95 while Trash Talkin' Turleen is $34.95. Be on the lookout for the new male Trailer Trash Doll named Bubba Jr, coming later this spring. And remember, all of your 12-inch heroes need a lady friend to spend their free time with.
