This old school retro TV looking thing is actually an alarm clock that will wake you up with classic game show themes and color changing text patterns. Luckily it includes a remote so you can shut it off quickly. It doesn’t say which game show themes it plays, but rest assured they are going to be annoying.
Just imagine waking up to the Price Is Right theme. Or not waking up and having that music influence your dreams. You’d be stuck in a nightmare gameshow void. “Come on down! You’re the next contestant on ‘Let’s Wake Up To a Crap-gadget’.” No whammies. No Whammies. Stop! I’d like to buy a vowel. I’ll take “Really pissed off and not ready for work” for $600 Alex. And so on.

Just when you thought it was safe here comes yet another wacky clock. A very boxy and not swell to look at clock. This one is a lot like the Coin Lamp, in that it is a money hungry device. This Money-Saving BanClock makes you insert a coin of any value or currency before it will shut up. I think that’s called extortion. This clock/bank will hold about $25 before it needs to be emptied.
You’ll need a supply of coins by the clock so you can shut it up without punching a hole in it. What’s with these savings devices though? It used to be that people were disciplined enough to save on their own without a device encouraging them.

Nixie clocks may be the best way to keep time that man has invented. So when you combine the Nixie clock with a table, the results are surely awesome right? Yes and no. The tubes look great on the antique table, the problem is that it is a very small table that will fit on a desk. What we need is to up the tube size and up the table size. Maybe make it mantle size to put on your fireplace mantle. Somebody needs to get on this right away.The nixie clock needs to go giant, and now! How about a giant nixie clock on a building? On top of a stadium. Yes, let’s go bigger people.

Geeks with no Dark lord to bow down to will want to hang this Darth Vader clock on their wall. Then once a day bow down on one knee and ask “What is thy bidding master?”. That’s probably when your mom will sound off from the other side of your door and tell you to do some laundry. That is thy bidding.
This clock is actually kind of sad. Vader just looks silly impaled with clock hands on his forehead. It’s from England’s Wesco Limited and measures over 6 inches tall, features glowing red eyes, and includes a Vader sound effect. It also requires 3 x AAA batteries. It will cost you $34.99 in disposable geek income.

Who said a clock needs to look like.. well.. a clock? How about a shopping bag instead? That’s exactly what you get with the Motobayashi “Shop Bag Clock” - a clock that resembles the shape of a shopping bag which means you can easily carry this clock wherever you go in the house. Of course, it’s not really a shopping bag so don’t go on any grocery runs with the device.. but hey.. it’ll certainly raise a few eyebrows if you do decide to bring it along.

Meet the Room Tech Beingz Alarm Clock, and Mood Lamp. They’re buddies who collaborate and wake you as a team. The clock’s feet light up, the it opens it’s mouth wide to sound off in one of three different noises to wake you up. It will also move its arms up and down if you don’t get up. It will even play music and do a little dance to the tunes, .so it isn’t completely annoying.
The mood lamp is a bit more calm, with four different brightness settings depending on your mood. It too will dance, and respond to your touch. They sport a very cool retro look, with a modern twist. The pair can even communicate with one another if they’re within 15 feet. The Alarm Clock can get the Lamp to turn on it’s brightest setting. That added with the noise should get you up and make you hate them day after day.
