This should be the norm

I don't know anything about this game or company but this is the most based announcement I've ever seen

First of all, ow.

They did a limited run of the game where the cards explain the joke so it was considered educational material, thus circumventing the tarrifs. Its pretty good, props on them for doing it.

It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.

There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”

This company never disappoints

No sarcasm, the best kind of advertising.

The game has gotten kind of old to me, but I wanna support them any way I can. Any other things they make that I could buy?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 27 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

same, but played the family version for my kids and it was so much fun.

the youngest one needs to practice reading, and that game was a few hours of her reading and laughing as hard as she could

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

This brings a smile to my face

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 2 points 31 minutes ago (1 children)

Oh, hell yeah. Thank you for this idea. I've been wanting a fun way to teach my son to read. Thank you.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

you have no idea how twisted/dark can kid's humour get

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

Buy the SFW version and gift it to a school or library.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 68 points 4 hours ago

If you want to support them any way you can just simply buy their shit regardless. You can gift it to people.

The "Don't talk to me until I've had my Clam-o-naise" mug is tempting me.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

Oh a clam and mayo sandwich would fucking slap

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 19 points 3 hours ago

They have many fine products on their all products page.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

There are now tons of different expansions for CAH, like specific topic types and whatnot like sci-fi, nature, food, medicine.

[–] Eryn6844@piefed.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 hours ago

[–] Redstone1@lemmings.world 13 points 3 hours ago

The original announcement was on their Facebook page, and links to https://www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com/

Note that they didn't raise their own prices (they absorbed 100% of the tariffs on products they make), so if you bought directly from them or through their Amazon listing, you didn't overpay and don't need a refund. If you bought from a retailer like Wal-Mart or Target, they'll start by refunding people who have a receipt, and then if there is money left over they'll try to refund anyone else who thinks they overpaid.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

so they are actually giving back money they never charged anyone for? The money they are getting back is the money tarrif stole them no?

This can't be a good financial decision for them, but holy shit is it based.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 30 minutes ago

They've always bragged about making bad financial decisions simply because the results of those decisions amused them.
