The Gong and Time Bomb, Two More Silly Alarm Clocks

There are plenty of alarm clocks to choose from, starting with the simplest ones, and ending with those with intricate shapes and working principles, and from the funniest down to the most annoying and seemingly meaningless ones. The next two pieces of alarm clock engineering we've stumbled upon were too silly to miss them, and we decided that you definitely must know one or two things about these crazy gadgets.

 

The first one and the funniest is the Time Bomb alarm clock. The looks of this clock completely live up to its strange name as this time-keeping machine has been designed to look exactly like a bomb cartoon characters would simply love.

 

This all ages-approved shape is as funny as it is strange and we're sure that it will generate a lot of stir and questions in the ranks of your friends or visitors. The casing is made of a dark translucent plastic and the time is visible thanks to an easy-to-read projection display. The Time Bomb is well worth its name, as it will tick and tock its way towards the alarm time, and will burst with lights when the alarm goes off. It also sports a very convenient snooze button, to let you enjoy some extra minutes of napping, and other easy to use setup buttons.

 

The Time Bomb is powered by tree AA batteries and we would not recommend it to the faint-hearted: before the usual high-pitched buzz, this one will first “kaboom!” your sweet sleeping moments. We're not sure whether war veterans would like it too much...

 

The second alarm clock does not look that cool, but it comes with high points on the silliness scale: the Gong Alarm Clock. As its name clearly says it already, this device comes with a miniature gong and a shirtless man with a miniature hammer to bang it as the alarm goes off. The whole thing looks very silly and the sounds it makes are quite annoying; we wouldn't recommend this either, especially if you're the kind of person who strongly dislikes brutal, military-grade wakeup alarms.

And if you've had one too many booze sips, the Gong Alarm Clock will make things even worse when it comes to starting the day with a hangover. The silly Gong retails for $20, while the funny Time Bomb will set you back $24. Yet, they're perfect as hilarious gifts for a friend of yours who digs silly stuff.
