If there's one thing I love, it's a hilarious bootleg - when people who maybe aren't as brand savvy (or as English savvy) as you or I try to make a quick buck off of a licensed property, fun times are guaranteed. In this feature, I'll share 20 of the worst knock-offs I've ever seen. Your money is no good here, man - it's all about the laughs.

The brand typo is a common move for bootleggers, so they can claim that they're not totally stealing, just sort of. I love this "Adadis" gym bag - you're sure to get lots of locker room props rocking this baby.

It's great that this "Super Bat" hero has "non-fall action." Busting the Joker is a lot tougher if you keep taking headers off of your cartoonishly huge skateboard. Excuse me, bat-board.

Speaking of Batman, this bootleg box for Batman Begins has some of the most awesome spoilers of all time.

Black Bart Simpson bootlegs were a huge thing in the 1990s, for some as yet unexplained reason. And it only took Fox 20 years to get The Cleveland Show on the air.

A lot of them had Bart making a political statement in solidarity with an oppressed minority group, which is exactly the kind of thing Bart Simpson did all the time. Eat my shorts, capitalist patriarchal power structure of corporate greed!

And then there's the other end of the Simpsons bootleg spectrum: insanely blinged-out T-shirts of Homer with his pants down and a glitter grill. I would love to meet the target audience for this shirt. Oh, wait: People of Wal-Mart.

And then there's the third end of the Simpsons bootleg spectrum: weird crap that has nothing to do with the Simpsons except the logo. Unless they introduced "Clip Art Beer Dude" this season.

Why not make a Titanic video game? I'm sure the heights of emotion in James Cameron's second most profitable film can be easily reduced to some weird black shapes moving around in a piece of plastic that cost six cents to produce in Taiwan.

If Mario was a real hustla, he'd know one rule: you make the bitches come to you. If she's in another castle, don't go running over there like a dog. True playas don't play like that.

Oh, you know what? Who cares. They all look the same anyways. Democrats! I'm talking about Democrats!

The addition of Arnold would have greatly improved the Star Wars prequels. This bootleg is A-OK with me and I applaud their ingenuity.

This iced-out Spongebob shirt really sends a pretty bizarre message to the kids. So it's not any different than any other episode of Spongebob.

Look, there's a racist joke to be made right here about this bootleg J-Lo purse. Do I really have to be the one to make it or can you just fill it in with your mind?

I sincerely doubt this is official Smurfs merchandise or official Lexus merchandise. But what a world it would be if it was!

(Bootleg factory manager) "Okay, people. The name of the cartoon dog is six letters long. One of the letters even repeats. It's not that Goddamned hard. I'm not asking you to write a term paper. Can we just get it right this time?"

Sometimes a bootleg starts out as awful and then through sheer badassery loops around to awesome again. This backpack is one such bootleg. I'm wearing one now.
