The other day I was on the London Underground and I saw a gentleman wearing a cap from a sex toy brand. I thought it was an amusing piece of apparel and it so happens that my recently divorced mate really enjoys wearing caps.
The next time I saw him was at a BBQ that my wife and I threw for our friends, and I excitedly pulled out the box that the cap had been delivered in and sat it down in front of him – proudly exclaiming “I saw this and thought of you!”
My friend carefully opened the box with the scissors I gave him and he started rummaging around in all of the packing material. This is where the story begins to take a turn for the worse.
Whilst inadvertently gifting a dildo to my mate in front of all our guests would have been hilarious, what actually happened was almost as mortifying for me. He pulled the cap out and read the brand out: “Bad Dragon, what’s that?”
I shit you not, there were 16 people at this BBQ between the ages of 20 and 40, and not a single one knew what Bad Dragon was – except for me. At which point, I Homer Simpson reversed into my hedge as they started Googling it.
I felt so embarrassed, I genuinely couldn’t believe it, and this was the day that I learnt that I have used too much of the internet.
Tl;dr: Gave my friend a Bad Dragon cap at an event as a gag. Not a single person knew what Bad Dragon was and they had to google it in front of me.

People knew, they were just embarrassed to admit it.
I mean, how does a cap from a sex toy brand even exist… and why would anyone wear it? I feel for you, that must have been one of those moments where you just wanted to disappear into the floorboards.
I have no idea what it is either.
If it makes you feel better there’s a good chance at least one person was playing dumb and one person that just found out is gonna be making a purchase soon
I would have laughed.
To be totally honest, that makes your prank gift even better! They didn’t know what it was, so everyone at the party was then pranked by having NSFW images on their phone.
If this was my friend group, I would have also bought the hat and laughed hysterically when they started to google. While you may feel embarrassed, I wholeheartedly think that you are a winner in this case!
Okay getting a bunch of people to inadvertently google this is actually a hilarious prank in its own right
Only embarrassment I’d feel is being surrounded by prudes
Man, these ads are getting weirder and weirder.
Hentai merch… ooo OOOOooo
I have a tshirt that says Brazzers and no one seems to recognise except the odd teen but one day at a furniture shop a removalist was there collecting stuff and I could tell he couldn’t believe what he saw , he was making his mate look as well
Lmao, that reveal must’ve been legendary and painfully awkward.
wait, so you bought it as a joke gift on purpose, and then you got embarrassed? i am not understanding this correctly.

Lmao, that Homer into the bush moment is legendary.
Out of 16 people between 20 and 40 several of them definitely knew what it was.
Can I get a joke gift please?
Should have just said it’s a new martial arts movie
This is hilarious and you most likely between your male friend’s hero as they all got some that night
As soon as you mentioned the sex toy brand hat, I thought “it’s Bad Dragon isn’t it?”
An employee at the local REI wears a ton of pins on their vest, one of them is a Bad Dragon pin. I’ve seen the sticker on cars as well.
Have I bothered to ask anyone if they know what it is? No, but I assume they just like dragons and will find out eventually….or they know.
