I think we need a new forum for hideous chips (1 Viewer)

[upNdown]

I promise you, I bite my tounge nine times out of ten. I’m not looking to hurt feelings or come off like a jerk. But when people get talking about hideous chips as if they were good looking, my pot starts to boil. And for some chips, my pot’s ready to boil over. I just want to scream from a rooftop “HIDEOUS!”
I realize it’s some pretty lame pettiness on my part. I should be able to accept that people have different tastes and just live and let live. But I’m not quite a big enough person for that. I think it would be better for my health if there was a place I could go to let it all out and shout HIDEOUS!

Front page could be the splashed pot of BCC Fun Nites, Paulson Fan of Cards and Chipcos....HIDEOUS!!!

Well played sir.

 

[upNdown]

Pretty funny, and except for the BCC’s, not untrue.

 

[Wils]

It's not just poker chips, though. We should have a thread for hideous poker tables too

....I’m not looking to hurt feelings or come off like a jerk....

Too late.

But you might suggest this over on CT...

 

[Kensco]

How about a thumbs down "Don't Like" button?

Why is our only option a thumbs up "Like" button??

 

[Poker Zombie]

No thread about ugly chips should go without a visit to the SLS...

...and I'm fairly certain I'm hurting nobody's feeling here!

 

[Kensco]

What's not to like ?

100% agree!! I can barely contain my anger everytime I see people taking positive about these vvvvv...... Just kidding....these ROCK!!

As a Canadian, I can't say anything negative about the SLS chip above, out of politeness. However, I would not say that it is over- embellished. I would hazard to say the graphics designer involved did not work through the weekend for that one. Sorry in advance.

Just ask @Tommy to start up a fringe private forum titled HCF -- hideous chip forum -- where openly biased chip bashing can occur behind closed doors. Win-Win. (y) :thumbsup:

Nothing wrong with that chip per se, the inlay/decal is uninspiring though.

Yeah, although the regular chips are clay and house mold, the colors on them might be appealing to some... but the label is sort of record-breaking for "shortest amount of time ever spent on a project".

I just love these chips

Are you taunting me?
I actually like the Terribles. I’m not a fan of RHC’s, but if they’re minty, they’re fine. And those Terribles have very cool inlay and colors.

Makes me opine for my Alpaca Acres set I mocked on the old blue wall. Sadly these beauties were never produced.

Well it was more to point out that I don't think you bite your tongue quite as much as you think. Im pretty sure the only thing I left out were CCs and maybe some brand of ceramic..hybrids maybe.. so yes I guess in full honesty I was kind of taunting you.....but I also knew how to as well so that should say something as well

 

[Trihonda]

Isn’t there already an worst chip and fugliest table threads already? Oh god, now I’m gonna have to go back and use that stupid search function thing.

Worst Poker Chips Ever Thread

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/worst-poker-chips-ever.2061/page-2

But I think there’s actually a couple ugly poker chip threads

And updown, I feel you... I see some folks posting their custom design ideas, and they don’t align with my tastes.. hard to bite your tongue.

How many times have chip gods ridiculed the PNYs for their ugly giant inlays! Lol

Didn’t stop me from spending a lot of time and money putting a set together. And they still call them ugly. And I still don’t care. If you’re a NYer, you must own a set of those fugly unwanted chippies

Bro, what are you waiting for?!

 

[BeesKnees]

I think it’s an appropriate place and time to leave this here...

 

[ParrotheadMZ]

I would really hate to see someone bashing someones custom set.
Fantasy and casino chips sould be fair game i guess.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I might not 'get' someone's design choices, but I'd certainly not bash them. Then again, I'm not an asshole.

Front page could be the splashed pot of BCC Fun Nites, Paulson Fan of Cards and Chipcos....HIDEOUS!!!

I cringe every time I see "Fun Nites" on a poker chip. And the Fan of Cards graphic is almost as bad.

Nothing wrong with Chipcos though.

He’s talking about my chips specifically calmly. And those chipcos certainly are hideous. But as far as fun nites go, I used to feel the same way. And so having bcc knockoffs of a stupid Paulson practice chip seemed pretty dumb. But then I got some. I expected I’d be selling them off immediately, but instead I fell in love and we lived happily ever after.

I have sets of all the above. I guess I like ugly chips.

 

[FordPickup92]

Been searching for the "ugly duckling" thread
Does this count???
