What is the best-named effects pedal?

I am not talking about the best-sounding pedal... let's hear of what you think to be the funniest, silliest, most optimistic, or just downright gnarly names for stomp boxes...

Who gets to name these guys anyways? Who came up with Prunes and Custard? Octavius Chunk? Fantastic!

***there is probably another thread idea here: Come up with a name for your dream pedal...***

What is your favourite name for a stompbox?

I always thought the Mercer Box was a clever name. Shame it stinks on bass.
