Toy Style and Concept
Bop It's overall aesthetic draws mainly from hip-hop and club culture. The game uses a breakbeat to keep the players on a rhythm, and the instructions are almost like dance commands. The announcer that narrates every game is a highly energetic "dude" sort of personality, and one of the game's signatures is the exuberant "OW!" sound that occurs when a player loses the round.

Famous quotes containing the words toy, style and/or concept:
“I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The concept of a mental state is primarily the concept of a state of the person apt for bringing about a certain sort of behaviour.”
—David Malet Armstrong (b. 1926)
