Coulda Been Syndrome

Ever watched a movie which you are thoroughly enjoying … completely enthralled with the plot and characters … just absolutely loving the story line … then as you anticipate the climatic conclusion … BOOM … the ending totally sucks. You’re thinking – man, was that a waste of time and money. And if you’re one of those total anal individuals, you thoughts go even further … questioning the writer’s lack of effort to finish the story which had so much promise. It’s called the Coulda Been Syndrome … something or someone that coulda been awesome, but failed due to a lack of effort from start to finish.

Take for example the hysterical commercial parody from Saturday Night Live below …

 

LOL … classic stuff from SNL … and given to the right developer, it could be turned into an awesome iPhone application. Well the folks at Macsolving gave it their best shot and released the Ooops I Crapped My Pants app.

Heck, the “Ooops I Crapped My Pants” title alone should already be making Macsolving millions of dollars. And judging my their tagline “Custom Applications For Apple Platforms For Over 10 Years” … these guys clearly have the experience to knock one out of the park.

But as the Coulda Been Syndrome goes … the app falls very short and very hard to anything remotely close to the comedic value of the original. We won’t waste your time with an in-depth analysis, but simply leave you with two pictures from the Ooops I Crapped My Pant app (which we can only assume is the total extent of the app since Macsolving gives no other information to its functionality) and the following sentiment … coulda been awesome!!

  • I am the creator of Oops. Obviously you didn't buy the app to try it. Granted, there are only three pictures, but the sounds and ability to “rapid fire' make it all worth while!!!

  • There are three pictures plus rapid fire fart feature (press the button as fast as you want) and great sounds. What more do you want in a 99c app?
