The ultimate rarely remains the ultimate for very long these days.

Bearman over at Beartoons.com is doing his annual Charity Challenge once again. Just for mentioning his challenge, which you can read about here, you can make HIM fork over $10 to a couple of worthy causes. So if you want to help make Bearman poor, tell the world. And don’t forget to tell Bearman in his comments on his blog so he knows he has to pay up.
HA HA HA see no one can win from Binky
Hilarious so true every time a new product is launched they come up with certain tag lines which go against their previous versions…
Whatever they’re selling, it’s the best, ultimate, got-to-have-it version.
I always wait a few generations before upgrading. By that time, there has been some real progress.
That’s a more sensible approach.
And to think they’ll lie some more. I’ve got 6 blades. Six!? 5 lies? And I still bought in.
You can never have too many blades!
I don’t think 6 blades would fit between my upper lip and nose… Maybe it would work if that area of my face was built like Tom Selleck.
Maybe they’re six micro-blades. I doubt they’re Samurai swords.
One thing you have to learn is that companies NEVER lie. Right? I need to go, they’re selling the best tasting wine gums in the world on QVC.
If someone is selling the world’s best wine gums, I think I might believe that.
Sorry, they ran out and started replacing them with Haribo Gummi Bears.
To replace wine gums with gummi bears is pure insanity.
I prefer wine gums
to gummi bears anytime 🙂
Me too!
I believe you’re part Wombie, too, Deb.
You’re Fraz’s big Wombie twin, so it’s in your genes.
I guess Apple isn’t alone on this one. 😉
I don’t think they are.
Hahaha… the marketing department can’t hear you over their shavers…
🙂
They’re too busy designing the Ultimate IV.
Bwahahahahahaha. Perception is a funny thing sometimes. He’s a point you know.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I think I do.
hahahaha…Binky’s so smart. Something else I’ve always wondered…when they make new and improved dog or cat food that tastes better…did they try it themselves or did the dog or cat tell them? 🙂
I’ve wondered that too. Though some of the dog food looks better than some people food.
I know what you mean. We’ve fed our dog Beneful wet food and it’s full of meat and veggies and smells just like stew! A few times, I almost licked the spoon by accident! 😛
Well if you have unexpected guests. . .
I tried a Milkbone when I was a kid. Pretty bland.
Growing up, I had an aunt who used to eat Milkbones. Every time she came over we would run to the pantry and get the box out. We thought she was nuts. 🙂
Well I am if that’s any consolation!
I will have to try some of
these Milkbones they sound
soooooooooo yummy 🙂
They look a lot more yummy than they taste!
This one can shave the universe!
I’d buy a shaver that promised that!
Maybe you should grow a beard and save on the cologne, actually you will be doing all of us a great favour so try it 🙂 Pleeeeeease
I just got some really fragrant aftershave just for you!
Lol…there’s no fooling Binky! 🙂
No. And I’ve tried!
Don’t bother to try that anymore….He knows everything. Better to sit back with a bag of popcorn and watch him think.
It’d be more entertaining if I could see the wheels turning in his head.
I wonder if they ever get jammed…
They do smoke once in a while.
Good point!

I thought so.
haha that’s so true about so many devices.
Chris should never brag about tech with Binky 😉
Yes, I think I learned my lesson.
Binky knows everything there is to know about gadgets and nifty looking inventions 🙂
But not everything about cologne!
Do wombies need cologne?
I never have one, Mommy said she loved my natural odor.
Wombies don’t need cologne. And We wish Chris wouldn’t use any either. It’s stinky!
They are (I meant the colognes) are supposed to smell good, Wink. I’ve heard there’s chocolate aroma too
A chocolate cologne? That should be good!
I knew that would attrack you 😉
Just remember not to eay Chris when he use that cologne
I’ll try not to!
me thinks Binky is to smart for his own britches… oh, forget that, he doesn’t wear them (blush)
Binky is smarter than the average bear. Or wombat.
well he is not a rocket scientist for nothing 😉
I didn’t think wombats shaved… so did he need an demonstration? 🙂
I think he’s a rocket scientist just to bug me!
Binky doesn’t shave; I was just showing him my shaver. Which was a mistake.
Yes a really big mistake Chris because from now on every time you get your shaver out Binky will be standing there shaking his head at you, and the worst part is that you know he is right 🙂
Yes, I know! Outsmarted by a pint-sized Wombie! Again!
I need one of those shavers cuz my mug fir is so grizzled now I have to use a belt sander! W.C.C.
You can have mine. It wasn’t so ultimate after all.
Late again. Sorry. Had great excuse. I was out looking for the ultimate 3 model 😉
The Ultimate 3 is last week’s model. The Ultimate 4 is much better!
I have heard that there is a model 20 out there now so the one that you have is obsolete 🙁
I think by the time they have a product on the store shelves, it’s already obsolete.
Maybe the Ultimate 1 is what started the 5 o’clock shadow/stubble fashion.
I never liked that look.
Hence the need for the Ultimate 3
They have us trapped!
They also manufacture a moustache trimmer called gizzabreakitshopeless 10 but be ready to wipe the tears from your eyes as it often jams on the third use 🙁
I think I’ll pass on that one. Well, maybe.
Oh, Binky, winegums are just…dishonest.
Perhaps their name is a bit of a misnomer, but they’re still delectable.
Hah!! there’s no fooling Binky, all those marketing ploys to get us believing that the Ultimate is the latest design, and he cut’s (sorry) straight to the truth … xx
oops. meant to add. the latest and best design.. 😉 xx
I guess Binky isn’t fooled by their advertising campaigns like us mere mortals are.
You mean like what you are Chris, we all knew how rubbish the other two were, and even the third is of a poor design 🙁 Next time get Binky on the job so that he can fully develop a NUMBER ONE shaver straight away 🙂 It might be powered with rocket fuel though so be careful, mind you if it takes off Binky could make millions 🙂 Sorry about the pun 🙂 lol
A rocket-powered shaver? That might just take off!
to infinity and beyond, … (let me think…who said that? 😉 ) xx
Definitely not me as there is nothing beyond infinity!
You should have just waited for the Ultimate four. Way better than the three. 🙂
Now I’ll have to buy that one, too!
I think I would hold out for the Ultimate Four… I’ve been hearing good things about it!
That’s what everyone said about the Ultimate Three!
They keep lying, it will be the Ultimate 7 that will be astonish everyone!
So I get to be scammed another four times?
You tell him Binky 🙂
This is a brilliant cartoon sketch Peter 🙂
Thanks, Andro!
I wonder how Bearman’s
pockets are holding out? 🙂
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
Hopefully they’re empty!
False advertising has met its match!
Binky will not be fooled!
Haha! Well done!
Damn those Evil Electric Shaver People!
I think they’re out to get me!
The guys on Madison Ave have gone mad again. 🙂
And their madness makes them a great deal of money.
Ahahah 🙂 didn’t see that one coming!
It’s hard to see Binky coming!
aaaaaaaaaaack…so sorry. So behind. Had to spend the weekend out of town for work so now catchingup.
Thanks so much for again promoting the charity challenge. Appreciate it!!!
You’re welcome, Bearman. Glad you finally saw it!
Hehehe… it seems like they lied 😉
They did! Which is pretty normal I suppose.
I knew that would attract you 😉
Just remember not to eat Chris when he use that cologne
