rubber chicken

Comedian's floppy fowl

A rubber chicken is a novelty toy—a floppy, hollow chicken made of rubber or latex, typically yellow and comically limp.

It's a staple prop of slapstick comedy and practical jokes, often squeezed to produce a squawking sound.

The rubber chicken circuit refers to the tedious round of banquets and fundraising dinners that politicians and public figures must attend, where the food is stereotypically bland and the speeches obligatory.
