I find it hilarious, though I’m sure some parents will find it a bit awkward. Someone on the design team for this toy had to catch this. My guess is, they let it go as some kind of joke or revenge.
At any rate, bravo, Play-Doh. Well played.
ROFL! I love how all of the media outlets are calling it Play-D’oh! 
Dill-Doh
Check out the Amazon reviews. (Warning: Adult content.)
Now a sought-after collectors item!
Is that a counter clockwise swirl? I think they owe Sienfield some royalties!
“Suitable for ages 3 -12, and 18 - 65”.
Interesting: Facing the task of designing an “extruder,” both Darwin and Hasbro hit upon similar solutions.
Okay, I’d like you to design an extruder which looks neither like a penis nor a medical syringe.
If you leave it out for a couple of days it gets really hard. And stays hard. Forever. Better than Viagra.
I think it’d be pretty rough, though.
Some others, altho a few may be a bit extreme for your average Play Doh user.
Easy. I had a Play-Doh Fun Factory as a kid. It looked like a barn.
Newer models are more utilitarian, but still non-penile:
The OP’s “extruder” not only looks phallic, but appears to be Ribbed For Her Pleasure.
I don’t know if that was really the intent; if you look at it as a whole with the plunger inserted, it looks a LOT more like a syringe than a dong.
If you take it out of context, so to speak, it looks very sex toy like. At any rate, kids who play with play-doh aren’t going to realize what it looks like, so who cares?
I’d think that the male half of kid-dom would be pretty familiar with the appearance of the body part in question.
I also like the fact that people who “bought this” also bought a shitload of different colored Play-Doh.
They’ve seen a big, erect extruder in real life?
It looks nothing like a penis. For one thing, it is way too small. 
I’m pretty sure that kids who play with play-doh will immediately realize what it looks like. At the same thing they will be figuring out that anything vaguely cylindrical looks like a dick. That’s why we call adults who see dicks in everything “immature”.
No fair, she’s a potter! :dubious:
What is “Play-Doh Plus”? Yes, I Googled it, and found a lot of folks trying to sell it to me, but no word of why the “Plus”.
To be fair, those look like they’d be total shit for decorating a pretend cake. You’d have to extrude your decoration, pick it up and manually apply it to the cake, smashing it up in the process. I would have called bullshit on that immediately as a child. Like I said to my husband when we first saw this, I don’t know that you could substantially change the general design without compromising the intended function. Things like the Fun Factory don’t really work as cake decorating implements, narrowing the tip both makes the Play Doh not flow well and makes it look like a syringe, making it shorter and fatter will make it harder for little hands to hold and manipulate while still looking fairly dong-ish…it’s a hard one to solve.
I do think they could have done without the beading around the extrusion tip, though.
