PARODY: Breaking News - Mr. Potato Head Comes Out as Ms. Potato Head in Groundbreaking Announcement

Updated: May 30

Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, Ms. Potato Head, formerly known as Mr. Potato Head, decided to hash things out and to prove us wrong. In a major news announcement broadcast live from the heart of Potato Valley, she revealed that she now identifies as a woman and will henceforth be known as Ms. Potato Head.


This historic and hilariously puzzling moment in toy culture was marked by Ms. Potato Head standing proudly at the podium, her mustache notably absent. “After years of self-reflection and soul-searching, I have come to the realization that I am, in fact, a woman,” she declared. “From now on, I would appreciate it if you all referred to me with she/her pronouns.”


The announcement was met with a mixture of gasps, cheers, and puzzled expressions from the crowd. One particularly enthusiastic fan waved a sign that read, “You go, girl!” while another seemed to be furiously Googling the correct way to address a non-binary potato.


Ms. Potato Head went on to explain that the decision to come out was not made lightly. “It took a lot of courage and a few dozen therapy sessions with Dr. Spud, but I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. Well, more accurately, in my own plastic.”


But the fun didn't stop there. In a moment of truly head-scratching comedy, Ms. Potato Head addressed a rumor that had been circulating on the internet. “And to all those asking if I can get pregnant now that I identify as a woman, I must say: Look at my lumpy shape! If men can be pregnant, then surely this potato can too!”


The crowd erupted in laughter, with some journalists nearly falling off their chairs. The idea of a potato pregnancy, while absurd, seemed to perfectly capture the spirit of the moment. “Imagine the baby potatoes,” quipped Ms. Potato Head. “They’ll be the cutest tater tots you’ve ever seen!”


The corporate executives at Hasbro, the toy company behind the Potato Head brand, quickly jumped on the bandwagon. “We fully support Ms. Potato Head’s transition,” stated the Chief Executive Spud. “In fact, we’re excited to roll out a whole new line of inclusive Potato Head family members, including Non-Binary Potato, Gender-Fluid Fry, and Agender Tater Tot.”


Social media exploded with reactions ranging from supportive to downright hysterical Memes flooded the internet, with Ms. Potato Head’s new identity becoming the talk of the town. One particularly viral tweet showed a picture of a potato field with the caption, “The birthplace of the first pregnant potato woman.”


Despite the chaos, Ms. Potato Head remains undeterred. “This is who I am, and I am proud,” she concluded, adjusting her new accessories—a stylish bow and a pair of sensible yet fashionable shoes. “To all the other toys out there struggling with their identities, know that you are not alone. If a potato can come out, so can you!”


As the press conference ended and the crowd dispersed, one thing was clear: the world of toys would never be the same. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll witness the miraculous birth of the first potato baby. Until then, we can all enjoy the hilarious journey of Ms. Potato Head as she navigates her new life as a potato woman.
