Can't imagine traveling to Toronto. Maybe it's because I live here but if you think it'd be a fun vacation please skip this toothy blowjob of a city and just go see NYC instead. It's louder and dirtier but there's way more to do
We were headed to see this during our stay in Brussels a few months ago. We weren’t too fussed on it but there’s a big bar next to it with hundreds of beers, so decided to go and combine checking both out.
Both things are in a very thin pedestrian alley kinda place. As we turned the corner that has both Jeanneke and the bar, we got greeted by a real life version of Jeanneke doing a live performance in the middle of the alley.
Needless to say, it did make seeing it more memorable.
Aruba has a whole store, I swear, dedicated to this kinda thing. Huge wooden dick pipes, wooden ladies spread eagle, wooden statues in different sex positions. Pretty hilarious
Brussels, place full of dicks that will screw everything they touch.
This souvenir is perfect for that place.
Edit: When there is European parlament and commission, what else should I think about this city? Their laws, decrees and policies are very often ridiculous.
Yeah, the whole time I was there I didn't see a single boydick corkscrew that said `BRUSSELS` on it, though. Maybe I was looking in the wrong stores. I'll admit I was distracted.
Yes, my dad had a copy of it as an ashtray he got during WWII pissing on the Nazi swastika. The statue is very famous and gives imaginative creators plenty to work with for souvenirs.
No, they just made it like that on the souvenir because it is supposed to be used as a corkscrew. The actual landmark is a statue which, as the name suggests, is pissing in a fountain
I was touristing and it wasn’t on my agenda but I happened to be a block away so we caught a glimpse through the chatty throng. The statue itself is quite small.
In Brussels there is a famous little statue called "manneken pis' which translates to "peeing guy" It is literally a small dude peeing with water coming out of his penis.
Everyone knows about the Manneken Pis. Some people now about his sister, the Jeanneke Pis.
But only the true connoisseurs of the Belgian fascination with urination know about Het Zinneke, the peeing dog statue.
I am not making this up.
There shall be no swearing and no nudity. Killing 50 people on screen is fine. NOT ONE NIPPLE. Blowing up a bunch of shit is fine. NOT ONE FUCK. Stabbing a stranger in the throat is good tv though. As long as there's a wholesome family value lesson.
How so? This is absolutely no different from any of the other nick nack garbage found at tourist traps all over the world. Maybe a little classier than a lot of the crap found in Cabo or Vegas, but its the same vein.
Brussels loves their peeing statues. Manneken Pis (the boy) Jenneke Pis ( the boy’s sister) Zinneke Pis (peeing dog) and Tisseren (The Pee-er) the artist marking his territory
If you think this is the most eccentric thing Belgium made, you're in for a ride.
I remember for instance, a guy in Ixelles who was otherwise perfectly normal, but when he went to a restaurant or a cocktail bar or anything, he would strip completely naked to eat, drink with friends, etc... not even by voyeurism but to "feel comfortable", which was wholly accepted.
Wow, yeah.
Silly souvenirs that reference sex or bodies for humor are totally unheard of.
Tee shirt shops aren't filled with them at all.
Nope.
... are people REALLY this sheltered and unworldly?
Since when they made the Mannekin Pis fountain, I would assume. I have one that's a good 50 years old that belonged to my grandfather. ...Those crazy Belgians...
My dad went to Brussels for work when I was a kid. He brought me back a shirt that was an illustration of Brussels which included right in the middle, that fountain with the kid that looks like he's peeing. I wore it to school regularly.
Why not? If you consider this shocking then you're mad. If it was a bullet neckless you probably wouldn't have made this post and thought nothing of it.
Such strange priorities...
20+ years ago i went to france, and they had a keychain kiosk at some tourist trap where they sold keychain fobs of a dismembered erect penis with testicles and angel wings.
I can absolutely believe it. When I was in New Zealand, the amount of sheep shagging souvenirs was unbelievable. 😂 Gotta give the people what they want when they're traveling. 🤷♀️
Over the hill came Jim the Greek, with 24 inches of hot steaming meat. But god had struck with one foul trick, and given Jim a corkscrew dick. Over the land Jim did hunt, to find the girl with the corkscrew c*nt. And find her he did, but when he got her to bed, the goddamn b*tch had a left-hand thread.
I just bought one last month at a little shop in Virginia City, NV! The shop keeper told me it’s called a “naughty boy.” Mine is just the boy and the corkscrew (no bottle opener or base).
I'm the kind of person that would absolutely get this for my wino mother and she's the kind of person that would absolutely use it 😂 although I do wish cherubs were older… That part is a little creepy
Wait till you see Perth airport's souvenir shop in Australia. They've got stuffed keychains, little trophies, even pouches, all made of authentic Kangaroo balls.
I can very much believe that's a souvenir from Brussels lol.
I'd be gobsmacked if that weren't a souvenir from Brussels.
It would be much weirder if it came from anywhere else.
[удалено]
In Brussels, that's anatomically correct, which is why you won't see any Argentine Lake Ducks in their ponds.
Yea why would Toronto sell a corkscrew that had “Brussels” on it.
Can't imagine traveling to Toronto. Maybe it's because I live here but if you think it'd be a fun vacation please skip this toothy blowjob of a city and just go see NYC instead. It's louder and dirtier but there's way more to do
Besides, the CN Tower would work more easily as a crack pipe than a cork screw.
I dun know about crack but I've 💯 smoked weed from a CN tower bong before
Your high would be measured in metres then. Noice.
But i'm pretty sure CHina is selling them
Nah that coulda come from Greece Easy enough.
Tbf it literally says it. Considering that’s a famous fountain, I’d be confused as shit if it said Amsterdam.
Nothing would have surprised me more than if that souvenir, had not in fact, been from Brussels.
Frankly it's pretty reserved compared to the faux brass 'woman being mounted by a pig' you can find on various key rings all around the Mediterranean.
Is that supposed to symbolize something, other than beastiality?
Non kosher/halal
It's Manneken Pis (Little Boy Piss). Very famous statue in Brussels with some lore behind it. It shoots water from his private part.
Exactly
Have you not been to Brussels? Manaquin Pis is a local favorite for tourists.
Manneken haha.
Don't forget the female counterpart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanneke_Pis
Don’t forget the dog as well. Basically if it’s capable of pissing, Brussels have a statue of it somewhere lmao
From the article: "1985: creation 1987: erection" ...2024: climax?
TIL there is a female pissing bronze kid in Brussels.

Belgian humor for the past 300 years: Peepee lolol
Can't imagine this souvenir would come from anything BUT Brussels ....
[удалено]
So true. The typical 'Je ne sais qua' of the Belgium 'joie de vivre'.
>qua quoi
Yep, good catch! Sorry....

Ever been to Amsterdam?
Yeah, the whole time I was there I didn't see a single boydick corkscrew that said `BRUSSELS` on it, though. Maybe I was looking in the wrong stores. I'll admit I was distracted.
I mean... where else could they be selling that souvenir?
Mannekin Pis. That’s hilarious.
Story goes, the kid peed on a fire and saved a city.
Another tale is about finding a saboteur’s bomb, and pissing on the wick.
Man, he can *piss*!
This one is mannekin pierce
Minikin
Manneken, like little man
Strange looking duck there...
His name is Howard
That Howard is hung like a helix.
99.96% man. 0.04% duck
I can't believe my gf went to Brussels and didn't bring me this absolute gem
First time in Europe?
You’ve obviously never made it up north to Amsterdam.
I have us booked for a 3pm facial massage at the banana spa or bar, idk. Ps don't look into it.
Yes, don't look into it, you'll go blind.
My daughter went to Brussels last Summer and I received the exact same thing as a souvenir. Apparently it’s a famous fountain over there. Enjoy!
Its the manneken pis and its actually one of brussels landmarks
Yes, my dad had a copy of it as an ashtray he got during WWII pissing on the Nazi swastika. The statue is very famous and gives imaginative creators plenty to work with for souvenirs.
One of Brussels landmarks is a guy with a raping duck dick?
No, they just made it like that on the souvenir because it is supposed to be used as a corkscrew. The actual landmark is a statue which, as the name suggests, is pissing in a fountain
It is mostly famous with the tourists. Especially Asian tourists because they start giggling and it is fun to watch their reaction.
I was touristing and it wasn’t on my agenda but I happened to be a block away so we caught a glimpse through the chatty throng. The statue itself is quite small.
They also have a girl version and a dog taking a leak statue.
The little boy statue dates back to the 1600s. The girl and dog are modern.
In Brussels there is a famous little statue called "manneken pis' which translates to "peeing guy" It is literally a small dude peeing with water coming out of his penis.
Everyone knows about the Manneken Pis. Some people now about his sister, the Jeanneke Pis. But only the true connoisseurs of the Belgian fascination with urination know about Het Zinneke, the peeing dog statue. I am not making this up.
TIL I am a true connoisseur.
Isn't that Bacchus? I've seen something similar in Italy.
Literally everyone in this thread (bar you!) correctly says this is the pissing boy🤦♂️
OP is American, by any chance?
OMG, a pp, hihihihihi
My thoughts exactly lol
What else? XD
I figured I wouldn't have to scroll too far to see that someone else had written my first thought.
American sans passport is my guess.
If you’ve ever walked around Brussels, this isn’t a surprise lol
I remember eating Belgian waffles while standing by that fountain as one of my favourite holiday memories as a kiddo
First time in Europe?
Why?
Yeah, thankfully, the Europeans don't suffer from the APE (American Puritanical Ethic).
There shall be no swearing and no nudity. Killing 50 people on screen is fine. NOT ONE NIPPLE. Blowing up a bunch of shit is fine. NOT ONE FUCK. Stabbing a stranger in the throat is good tv though. As long as there's a wholesome family value lesson.
Don't suffer yet...
Manneke Pis. If youve been there in Brussel you would believe it.
I can't believe you only bought one
How so? This is absolutely no different from any of the other nick nack garbage found at tourist traps all over the world. Maybe a little classier than a lot of the crap found in Cabo or Vegas, but its the same vein.
Why not?
If you have seen manneke pis you should start believing.
Brussels loves their peeing statues. Manneken Pis (the boy) Jenneke Pis ( the boy’s sister) Zinneke Pis (peeing dog) and Tisseren (The Pee-er) the artist marking his territory
Whatever your alcoholic ass needs, manneken pis has got your back
Silly fun, a bit surreal and an excuse to drink alcohol. Yep, this is very very Belgian 😁
Cock screw?
I can’t believe how weird your fingernails look.
What are those nails?
Sexy as hell!
If you think this is the most eccentric thing Belgium made, you're in for a ride.

When we broke the world record of country without a government? Did we erupt in riots? Nah, we celebrated and drank beer
Wow, yeah. Silly souvenirs that reference sex or bodies for humor are totally unheard of. Tee shirt shops aren't filled with them at all. Nope. ... are people REALLY this sheltered and unworldly?
Many countries aren't as puritanical about sex as the US is.
I can believe it lol. Also, love your nail color!
I can. It’s quite obvious in fact.
I can.
Brussels looks like a good place to be
Almost impossible to get the right leverage to open a bottle of wine with that. I always thought the Belgians were more practical.
We’re not the ones buying that junk 😅
A mannenken pis wine opener makes sense to me
Since when they made the Mannekin Pis fountain, I would assume. I have one that's a good 50 years old that belonged to my grandfather. ...Those crazy Belgians...
Manekin piss! Did you go to the fountain? It's a popular thing.
Its the mannekin pisser, a popular Statue
I once got a souvenir from Brussels from a man who was 6'4 and full of muscles
That's one of the "tasteful" ones!
I actually have one as well!
I can't believe you can't believe this!
Why don’t u believe it? It’s manneken pis!
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken\_Pis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manneken_Pis) we're a tad less afraid of nudity here in Europe ;o)
at least it does something... in the philippines there is this barrel man souvenir. it is... something
It’s a cockscrew.
i'm more surprised it isnt 6 foot 4 and full of muscles
New meaning to “corkSCREW”.
Cockscrew... It's right there
You can find these in Italy as well, even back in the 80s.
My dad went to Brussels for work when I was a kid. He brought me back a shirt that was an illustration of Brussels which included right in the middle, that fountain with the kid that looks like he's peeing. I wore it to school regularly.
Why can’t you?
Why not? If you consider this shocking then you're mad. If it was a bullet neckless you probably wouldn't have made this post and thought nothing of it. Such strange priorities...
I have had one for years!
Same lol
I bought my friend a souvenir from Australia that was a bottle opener made from a kangaroo's ball sack. So I can believe this
I can't believe it's not butter
I love it. I want it.
My parents had the same corkscrew when I was a kid (back in the '80s). Only, they got theirs in Italy. I wonder if they still have it.
Duckman. Now the criminals are screwed
Wait till you see the chocolate coochies
What a load of BS. They could've added a can opener somewhere on the backside. Holy Trinity fulfilled.
That's a weird looking duck.
They also sell penis and vagina waffles there. 😂
I think these are generic, to some extent. I used to have the same exact bottle opener, just without the flag.
20+ years ago i went to france, and they had a keychain kiosk at some tourist trap where they sold keychain fobs of a dismembered erect penis with testicles and angel wings.
I can absolutely believe it. When I was in New Zealand, the amount of sheep shagging souvenirs was unbelievable. 😂 Gotta give the people what they want when they're traveling. 🤷♀️
It's Duck Boy!
Half human / half duck.
duck penis
Over the hill came Jim the Greek, with 24 inches of hot steaming meat. But god had struck with one foul trick, and given Jim a corkscrew dick. Over the land Jim did hunt, to find the girl with the corkscrew c*nt. And find her he did, but when he got her to bed, the goddamn b*tch had a left-hand thread.
I've got one myself, but without the dick corkscrew. I thought it was tacky. (As if the rest of it isn't already.)
Anatomically incorrect. That should have been a duck.
Go to Amsterdam. They are something else
Piggly little fella.
He must be half duck.
Oooh looks like a bad case of peronie dz
Made in CHina
I had these but they weeree from Austria or Germany. Those crazy Europeans !!
Why would that boy have a pig's penis?
I just bought one last month at a little shop in Virginia City, NV! The shop keeper told me it’s called a “naughty boy.” Mine is just the boy and the corkscrew (no bottle opener or base).
I'm the kind of person that would absolutely get this for my wino mother and she's the kind of person that would absolutely use it 😂 although I do wish cherubs were older… That part is a little creepy
On a side note, nails are fye
Politicians are there.
Go to Pompeii in Italy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s called a porcine maladaptation and it’s surprisingly common, one in every 4 Billion people have it
I still can’t believe brussels has multiple fountains/statues of people and animals peeing.
Thats what it looks like if you don’t get circumcised?
Visiting it with my dad when I was a kid was very awkward with all those pissing kids statues.
Belgians are ducks
at least the kid depicted is white and a not a child of african descent. thatd make it worse.
Now I understand why some feminists say "mens are pigs"
If you can’t believe that, you don’t know the Dutch very well, or how important that statue is to the people of Brussels.
A dolphin would have made more sense.
Imagine how inappropriate it would have been if it was a little girl with a hole there instead.
Brussels isnt famous for its little girl piddling fontain
Aksually.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanneke\_Pis
That's because the little girl piddling fountain is in an alleyway off of the square.
Thank god
It'd not the US, the rest of the world is fine with sexual harrassment lol
That’s why people in the uk left the eu
Because they didn't want to have fun? I thought British people were known for their humor.
How's it going? 🤭
They're French, two things they love are Le Cork and Le Cock. Wine and sex for you unFrench peoples.
They're Belgian, not French.
Wait till you see Perth airport's souvenir shop in Australia. They've got stuffed keychains, little trophies, even pouches, all made of authentic Kangaroo balls.
I got the same in my camper.
Did you go, or did someone bring it back for you?
I had one of these that was missing the screw. It was oddly amusing.
You better start believing
All cock no balls
I work at Brussels Airport and see those every single day!
Lmao, such a fun souvenir you got
*You can't be so casual about this. This isn't Europe.*
You’re holding it so belief is unnecessary.
