I know exactly what you mean......its just a flying thing.....doesn`t look anything like a plane.....and its electric...yuck :-)
Some time ago I swore that I would never get one of those things......just doesn`t press any button for me at all........
The a hobbystore owner talked me into buying a 15 buck nano quad like this one:

And what do you know......it was actualy realy fun and flew quit well too.......buzzing around in the living room.
Then I had to try something a little bigger, so I got a 45 dollar Hubsan X4 like this one:

And it flew even better :-)
And then I thought it would be fun to have one with a camera on it.........
So I got one of these and a mobius camera :-)
