15 Funniest Alarm Clocks - Part 1

There are several gadgets indispensable for our these days life style and just to enumerate a few we have the cell phone, the watch, laptops, memory sticks, and for some, portable media players, but there is none of you that doesn’t use an alarm clock, right? We all have jobs to wake up for early in the morning or at least important appointments that we have to attend, from time to time, and the handiest device to alert us when the time has come is the cell phone that can be easily set to ring at that specific hour. If only all cell phones could play the alarm while being turned Off! I don’t enjoy unknown people calling me by mistake at 2 o’clock in the morning so maybe I would prefer to keep it turned Off and use an alarm clock which is specially designed for this kind of job.

Everything’s fine now that we know what to get but some of us have a problem with waking up in the morning and each of us need specific sound and intensity. We thought at this fact and managed to gather 15 of the coolest alarm clocks existent on the market. We called it 15 Funniest Alarm Clocks and you’ll see why.

The Pillow Alarm Clock

This alarm clock is designed for those that want to be woken up in the morning without disturbing the other in the same room. It is called the Pillow Alarm Clock because it’s flat and small enough at 90 x 70 x 13mm to fit under your pillow, and is meant to awake you discretely with vibrations. It features dual alarm setting, snooze button, buzzing/vibrating alert, temperature display, date, time, 12/24 time format, a green backlight, clock stand, keylock and a nice leather cover.

The Throw Alarm Clocks

About the ball-shaped clock we’ve talked before in one of our recent articles but it’s cool enough to mention it again in our collection.
It is specially designed for those that get really nervous early in the morning when the alarm rings and feel like wanting to throw away that stressing clock that just doesn’t want to stop ringing.
It has the shape of a ball so you can throw it as fast and as much as you want because even when it hits the room’s walls it doesn’t break. And actually this is the only way you can make it stop ringing. It is made of resistant and slightly flexible vinyl, and shows the time, the date, while you can set the alarm on the LCD display. You can also choose between several ball shapes - Cricket, Golf, and Football Special Edition Silver or Normal – and it also comes with a circular stand which prevents it from falling off the desk.

The Puzzle Alarm Clock

Even if in the picture is a child’s hand this doesn’t mean it’s designed for little children only and we believe it’s a funny alarm clock even for older children and those that still feel children.
The Puzzle Alarm Clock solves the problem of getting your but out of bed fast.
When the alarm rings, the 3 jigsaw puzzle pieces shoot out and to stop the ringing you have to solve the puzzle assembling it back.
It measures 18 x 11 x 4 cm and is powered by 3 AA batteries.

The Grenade Alarm

That’s more an alarm than a clock but you could use it just to have some great fun by placing it near a sleeping friend. It gives you the chance to play the role of an alarm clock yourself. For that you have to pull the pin and yell “Fire in the hole!!!” then leave the grenade near your friend and run. He will wake up instantly at the loud sound that blasts out and will be able to stop it only by placing the pin back in.

The Running Alarm Clock

And here comes the Running Alarm Clock that runs away when the alarm rings.
It was designed by a smart engineering student with great sense of humor that wanted to give the sleeper one chance to wake up at the set hour. If he/she hits the snooze button and goes back to sleep then the clock gets really inpatient and starts to run around the room until he/she catches it.
The good thing is that it allows you to set the snooze time that can be of up to 9 minutes after which it starts to run away.
It measures 14 x 9 x 9 cm, is powered by 4 AAA batteries and has the following features: you can drop it from 3 feet height, can run on wood and even carpet, shows the low battery warning, flashes when beeping or running, has a random alarm beep pattern, and has the ability to disable its wheels.

The Book Clock

The Book Clock is cool because it looks like a set of real books but with integrated discrete clock hands. You could say it looks funny or stylish, both versions making it a great clock for room decoration.
Its stainless steel hands are moving on reinforced heavyweight card and paper, and you can choose between the three-color model and the classic black one.
It powers from 1 AA battery and measures 20 x 20 x 15 cm.

Police Alarm Clock

This clock imitates the sounds of police sirens and the specific spinning blue light when its alarm rings.
It is 6-inch high and shows the time and alarm on an LCD display.
When it’s the time it starts ringing and you can hear a voice waking you up: “This is the police! You have t’ll the count of three or we’re coming in!”
You can set the sound and visual effects via the Try Me button. It has a cool metallic silver finish, comes with a sleep squad badge, and measures about 14.5 x 12 x 11.5 cm, powered by 3 AA batteries.
