Let me tell you: it’s a product that will revolutionize pranks in the same way that the Naked Man revolutionized one night stands. Supposedly anyway. The Spray Cacas…

remote_control_rat

Live in a rat-infested fleabag of an apartment? Well even if you don’t, you can still scare the beejezus out of your roommates with your very own remote-controlled rat.

With its light-up red eyeballs, I wouldn’t necessarily call this rat-on-wheels “lifelike”. But its hairy body and quick moves are probably enough to freak out your…

sky tv makes upside down remote control “for australians” in a fit of nationalism

skyremotes

I don’t know about you but this is new to me: apparently the English and the Australians are bitter cricket rivals, so much so that they have a tournament, popularly known as The Ashes series, which only features the two teams. Imagine how ridiculous it would be if the EPL had an annual Manchester United…

smell of books aerosol e-book enhancer violates “olfactory rights” of writers

smell-of-books

Vaporware manufacturer DuroSports Electronics wants to ease the transition from paper books to e-books with their Smell of Books scented sprays, specifically designed for e-book readers. Not. This is the kind of idea that’s so stupid it’s awesome, and for a while you’ll wish it was true. Then it’ll just be plain stupid. Right now though,…

mouse toy prank electric shock

If you’re cheap, you can pick up some random iPod knockoff designed to deliver a nasty hilarious shock to the hands of the unwary Grabby McGrabberson. Isn’t laughter worth more than $3.95? Of course it is, why is why big spenders shell out $5.99 for the shocking mouse. Remember, folks: this is about amusement. What’s…

take control with the micro spy remote

Micro Spy Remote Control

I remember back in high school, one of my classmates had this gigantic wrist watch that was also a universal remote. He had loads of fun using it whenever we watched a movie in class (Kramer vs. Kramer, Anna to the infinite power, a woman giving birth, etc). I think he’s dead now. I’m kidding.…

Worst MP3 Player Ever

I thought I’d seen some awful electronic gadgets in my travels, but this has got to be the worst one that I’ve seen in a long time.

Rickroll cake

Oh, Rickrolling, aren’t we finished with you yet? Apparently not, since there is now an Instructables post on how to make a sneaky Rickroll birthday cake.

The cake was made by one Papersatan (a pretty fitting name for a perpetrator of Astley-based crimes, eh?) for her boyfriend’s birthday. She made a fake cake-like covering out…
