Aug 10 2009Bad Idea: Creepy Surgical Masks For Dentists

How would you like that nightmare standing above you with a drill in its hand? You wouldn't, would you? My gums are bleeding just thinking about it.
Clever surgical masks with funny cartoon mouths were sent to dentists in Hamburg, Germany. The goal was to lighten up a visit to the dentist for the kids and everyone else, as well as to promote Colgate Smiles Kids toothbrushes.
Honestly, I'd rather knock all my teeth out with a cinderblock than face a dentist wearing a mask like that AND I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH NITROUS YOU GIVE ME. I'll tell you what, give me a take-home tank and you've got a deal. Okay now I -- I have two fingers.
Hit the jump for several more shots of a terrible idea.

Thanks to naas, who only operates with a hockey mask on.

7. Moose Knuckle - August 10, 2009 1:03 PM

8. Dishy Dishyington - August 10, 2009 1:04 PM
The teeth on the masks should be full of decay and food particles.
9. Timbo - August 10, 2009 1:05 PM
They're all trying to stick their tongues down your throat...
10. Pew³ - August 10, 2009 1:15 PM
That second one look an awful lot like a Pedobear smile.
11. QUASIMODEM - August 10, 2009 1:15 PM
Is it only my dentist that sits behind the patient so you can't actually see him while he's looking around in there? That way I get to check out all the fun posters on the ceiling.
12. Spikey DaPikey - August 10, 2009 1:16 PM
I'm scared !
13. dr. tooth - August 10, 2009 1:18 PM
Eh, if the dental assistant is a hot girl, she should just do her thing in a bikini, that'd make it all good.
14. STOMPY - August 10, 2009 1:19 PM
Screw the post about the masks.... I am more concerenced about hitting up a threesome with those dental assistance.... I hear they give great oral.....

Welcome to Geekologie. You must be new here.
19. Freddy K - August 10, 2009 1:37 PM
Awesome. I want a box of these.
20. Milking Shorthorn - August 10, 2009 1:45 PM
@18 Still working my way through the back catalogue. Thanks for the pointless shittyness.
21. Milking Shorthorn - August 10, 2009 1:46 PM
HEY! "Shittyness" got through!
22. naas - August 10, 2009 1:46 PM
I would also like to see the dental assistants' cute little faces
23. Jamie - August 10, 2009 1:49 PM
haha... my 2 year old son saw this and started laughing....lol
24. Pew³ - August 10, 2009 1:53 PM
@23. You let your two year old son read Geekologie.
You should be careful. Somebody used the word "shittyness" twice on here.
You don't want your two year old to learn the word "shittyness" do you?
At least not before he learns the word "fück".
Fück should always be your first curse word, agree?
25. Pew³ - August 10, 2009 1:55 PM
@24 The first sentence was supposed to be formed as a question, not a statement. I made a fücking mistake, sorry.
26. fetus_mcnuggets - August 10, 2009 1:57 PM
once i had a stud muffin dental hygenist....
so i ate a whole box of oreos in the waiting room
i opened my mouth for him ...and he never looked happier to see me :o)
@ 18
smile with the eyes... and put out a saucer of milk for the endodontic gremlins
27. naas - August 10, 2009 1:57 PM
@23 he does make a good point. I personally think it's funny for a 2 yr old to say shit, especially in context. Fuĉk is another story though, because I'd be surprised if a 2 yr old KNEW how to use fuĉk in context. I'd be impressed
28. zips - August 10, 2009 1:57 PM
Holy shit. It's Marathon Man meets Disney.
29. STOMPY - August 10, 2009 1:59 PM
@everyone
Let's burn Pew and teh stake for his mistake (hey, that rhymes) and than we'll eat cake and porkchop sandwhiches made from shake and bake and use some pert plus for my dandruff flake....
sorry about that, once I realized I made a rhyme at some point in time its hard find a way to unwind the thought coils in my mind...
30. potato_owl - August 10, 2009 2:01 PM
@13 My friend told me her dentist was a young good looking woman, and was surprised that she wore hot pants to work. Although she was more surprised, our male friends thought it was a very good idea and would make them want to go the dentist more.
Or maybe the masks should have women on them.
31. Douche McAllister - August 10, 2009 2:01 PM
@20
I wasn't trying to be shitty to you but, now that you've invited it, I will. Fück you n00b. Fück you up your stupid ass. I hope you die in a fire surrounded by everyone you love and care for. I wouldn't mind shoving a baseball bat up your ass and turning you into a popcicle.
You swine. You vulgar little maggot. You worthless bag of filth. As we say in the Army, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions printed on the heel.
You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. I would rather kiss a trial lawyer than be seen with you. You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a cad, a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon.
You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you.
You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly. You snail-skulled little rabbit. Would that a hawk pick you up, drive its beak into your brain, and upon finding it rancid set you loose to fly briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of your ignoble blood.
May you choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of your own trite, foolish beliefs. You are weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. You are grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. You are foul and disgusting. You're a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you.
You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. And what meaning do you expect your delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with us? What fantasy do you hold that you would believe that your tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
You are a waste of flesh. You have no rhythm. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease, you puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper. On a good day you're a half-wit. You remind me of drool.
You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go. You smarmy lagerlout git. You bloody woofter sod. Bugger off, pillock. You grotty wanking oik artless base-court apple-john. You clouted boggish foot-licking twit. You dankish clack-dish plonker. You gormless crook-pated tosser. You churlish boil-brained clotpole ponce. You cockered bum-bailey poofter. You craven dewberry pisshead cockup pratting naff. You gob-kissing gleeking flap-mouthed coxcomb. You dread-bolted fobbing beef-witted clapper-clawed flirt-gill.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh. The only thing worse than your logic is your manners. I have snipped away most of what you wrote, because, well... it didn't really say anything.
Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective... Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
P.S.: You are hypocritical, greedy, violent, malevolent, vengeful, cowardly, deadly, mendacious, meretricious, loathsome, despicable, belligerent, opportunistic, barratrous, contemptible, criminal, fascistic, bigoted, racist, sexist, avaricious, tasteless, idiotic, brain-damaged, imbecilic, insane, arrogant, deceitful, demented, lame, self-righteous, byzantine, conspiratorial, satanic, fraudulent, libelous, bilious, splenetic, spastic, ignorant, clueless, illegitimate, harmful, destructive, dumb, evasive, double-talking, devious, revisionist, narrow, manipulative, paternalistic, fundamentalist, dogmatic, idolatrous, unethical, cultic, diseased, suppressive, controlling, restrictive, malignant, deceptive, dim, crazy, weird, dystopic, stifling, uncaring, plantigrade, grim, unsympathetic, jargon-spouting, censorious, secretive, aggressive, mind-numbing, arassive, poisonous, flagrant, self-destructive, abusive, socially-retarded, puerile, and generally Not Good.
Begone and never pollute our ether with your presence again!

@STOMPY we could have if that declaration was flawless, Pew and teh stake can't suffer for that one

@29 STOMPY. Normally I would say burn me at the stake for my mistakes, except that I immediatley reposted pointing my own mistake out.
Did somebody say steak?
Mmmm, I'm hungry now.
Cakes and pies! Cakes and pies!
I'm upstairs!
37. Iris - August 10, 2009 2:44 PM

40. Daelith - August 10, 2009 3:33 PM
That looks like something out of a Stephen King book. *shudders*
41. G - August 10, 2009 3:55 PM
No, I like these. If I had a dentist wearing one of these I'd be giggling too hard to open my mouth.
And getting away from the dentist without actual dentist work is a win in my book.
42. kate - August 10, 2009 4:11 PM

too long winded, you suck/fail for taking the time to actually type all that out. too much energy and thought went into writing that and/or canvassing the dictionary.
on a final note, it would have been greatly improved with "thou art" rather than "you are"

dont be stupid, these arent for sale -- these are promotional pictures for the new national health care plan.
57. Starfish - August 18, 2009 11:20 AM
The masks have creeped this 40-year-old female rightthehellout. Seriously, had I seen anything like that hovering over my cute little face as a child, I wouldn't be sane today. Or, I should probably say that would be even LESS sane today! And, oh, the exorbitantly long insult post further on up above -- well, I may borrow some of those insults to hurl at people for whom I feel disdain who need to hear words such as that, so thanks much for that! Hope you don't mind if I borrow some of those.
The masks, though, those are priceless. Looking at them, I can kind of feel a bit of nervous shakiness coming on. :)

Yeah that sure is weird, we're always hungry for new stuff but i don't think that's what we need at the dentist office, it's scary enough without this. Now, i think i'll brush my teeth very well after eating, i don't want to meet them!
