Hammacher Schlemmer, you do great things. Terrible things - but great things. We just aren't sure our holly-jolly world is ready for mobile mistletoe by drone. Let's just say, Unique Hunters strongly advises against handing The Mistletoe Drone over to the office Christmas party-goers who end up face-down in the egg ...
The internet is jam-packed with weird… stuff, which is one of the main reasons why people love it so much, because you can be as weird as you want and someone out there will see it – the weirdness you’ve done online. Well, the internet is not just for humans anymore; now, animals such as peoples’ pets are garnishing ...
This is our introduction to illustrator Keren Rosen, and it makes us want to read lots and lots of Amelia Bedelia stories for the first time since we were young enough to not know how sex worked. Ah, high school... Anyway, Rosen takes a far lighter-hearted approach to funny bones everywhere than the preceding ...
Dear Good People of Firebox, WHAT IN THE SWEET VALLEY HIGH HELL DID YOUR MOTHERS DO TO YOU? Love, The Human Race We have just reached either peak selfie or the hopeless abyss human attention whoring.

The art of tattooing originated centuries ago a world or so away from our time and place. Wherever it has spread, it has adopted a deeply personal, resonating personal significance. That's why we hesitate to pass too great a degree of judgment on another individual's body art. Trust us, we have some work of our own ...
Fair warning, ladies: if you catch a fine fellow scoping out your backside while wearing this Winky Cross-Body Bag, go against instinct and avoid turning to cheekily ask him, "And just what are YOU looking at?"

If you've ever watched DOCTOR WHO in its current revived form, you are probably well-familiarized with the term "fixed point in time". Briefly explained, it's an event that is cemented as playing out in exactly one way. It can't change. It's frozen that way. That's how we like thinking of these photos: each of ...
Who doesn’t like cushions? Who doesn't like sitting on their best friends face? Finally the two have been merged without risk of getting into a fight or going to jail. What’s wrong with cushions today? Most cushions are designed around a room’s theme, taking into consideration the couch or chair they will be ...
We feel like we just watched Don Draper's most terrifying fever dream. Even so, we kind of want a Squatty Potty almost as badly as we want to genetically engineer a softserve-shitting mythical horsey. The bad news, right up front: the Squatty Potty has nothing to do with whether or not you can or cannot actually ...
When it comes peeping in on the rich, famous and notorious, we're really nothing more than a bunch of voyeuristic low-rent Jane Goodalls observing a fascinating, beautiful and strange species from the closest safe distance we can. Thanks to stalking laws, pepper spray and bodyguards who look like they could crush ...
There are so many videos on-the-line, especially on ‘the’ youtube; and you may even have some of your own posted there for the world to see.

Kids innately know how to joke and as the years pass children learn how to prank effectively as well. It is almost like an evolutionary process – joking and then learning to conduct pranks properly. As the years pass this skill becomes refined to near perfection, usually by the time big kids head off to college. ...
Real talk, here: we love BigMouth, Inc.'s hilarious take on novelty garden gnomes, from "Say What Again?" gnome watching over our azaleas and quoting Bible verses that don't exist to "The Gnominator" keeping the riff-raff out while watching over the Unique Hunters guard shed. We just can't imagine finer or funnier ...
Ohhhh, my. Well, it's been our affectionate pet-name for years, anyway. If anyone needs us, we'll be in our bunks breaking in our Stress Sausages. The good people at Firebox (yes....really) have given the world the Ninth Symphony of meaty playthings. We're ever-so-positive that any similarity between squeezing, ...
No Birds, No Planes, But German Photographer Captures Flight Of The Fido One of the wonderful things about dogs is how incredibly graceful they can sometimes appear while also looking just the right degree of...."derpy". Seriously. Cats will often perform some actually pretty remarkable physical feats ranging ...
Oh, sure. America "runs" on Dunkin'. Ever try to float on Dunkin'? Worthless. Absolutely worthless. Doughy, flaky, frosted and creme-filled worthlessness with worthless sprinkles. If doughnuts were meant to be edible pool-floats, we would never, ever want to die. Summer is sadly over, but one can never get too ...
There are few businesses in all the world harder to manage with enduring success without a few odd hiccups than a restaurant. Ever hear the old question, "What's more important, great food or great service?" Well, without being accommodating to both, you've basically failed, to be entirely honest. Sometimes, we all ...
Look, if we haven't made it crystal-clear by now, we enthusiastically - and very cautiously - support spoiling cats rotten. We assume this submissive position not because we really like them, but because they are genuinely devious little adorable assholes who know great and powerful magicks. Hey, dismiss all you ...
ThinkGeek, you have earned our congratulations. It's a bold new clientele you've chosen to serve, starting apparently with this Scary Tapping Peeper window hanging: suburban sociopaths. Has your daily life's quotient of "Hey, y'all, watch this!" not yet reached critical mass? Hang this animatronic orgasm of instant ...
Go ahead. Give the neighborhood hellions terrorizing your Jack O' Lanterns this October a truly terror-urine-soaked "Long Halloween" with a little help from ThinkGeek's Joker Ground Breaker....and, according to what we think is a superbly vengeful suggestion, a motion-controlled spotlight. Seriously, ThinkGeek: you ...
The magic of myth is now right at home in your hands. Hey, even better news: that's no longer strictly the opinion of that one slow-witted son, daughter, niece, nephew or neighborhood crumb-snatcher that whose ear you "pull a quarter out of" just to get them away from you for five minutes. Quite the opposite, in ...
Human See, Human Do: People Interpret Their Pooches' Expressions One day about three years ago, a notion struck Ines Opifanti that we can't believe had eluded photographers before him. See, the Hamburg, Germany photographer had just adopted a puppy and was transfixed by how she would "smile" ear-to-ear in the ...
Well...huh. When out-there artist Terry Border looks at his attic clutter or the contents of his refrigerator's crisper drawer, lighthearted art comes to life first behind his curious eyes and then before his camera. When we make imaginative produce sculptures, it gets us escorted out of Walmart. Oh, well. This ...
Come at us, Internet. You're having a great run powered by cats and all, but we are "dog people" through and through. Come on, now. Look at those frantic wagging tails.

You've all heard of Santa Claus. Red nose, belly of jelly, a hearty Ho-ho-ho ready at his lips. But do you know Krampus? Think of Krampus as the Anti-Santa, or, better yet, Santa's bastard step-brother who always got coal during the holidays. According to ancient Eastern European lore, Krampus is a horned ...

Test primal fear's command ove the male bladder tonight with this ...
C'mon, everybody. We know you know the words. "The best part of waking up...is guzzling chai from the gaping maw of a fish." It sure is.

American Horror story may be moving along with their new theme of Hotel, but who can forget the strangeness of the Freak Show? In Jupiter, Florida, nothing is as it may seem in Elsa’s Freak Show, one of the last remaining freak shows in existence. In all reality, these shows were once great exhibitions that ...
Look, we know each other closely enough by this point for frank admissions to our shortcomings: we are neither grand scientific minds nor meticulous, inventive efficiency gurus.

Being Vegan for dietary reasons suck. Just ask a glutard or lactard (That’s gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant, folks). They’ll explain just how picky they now have to be as well as typically paying twice as much for groceries. It’s no wonder they may feel a little animosity towards normal folks or those going ...
People have hunted animals since the dawn of mankind, and for quite some time the struggle between man and beast was very real.

China’s culture is intertwined with the consumption of the pig, and this country alone eats nearly half of the world’s pigs per year, more than 7 times what it was in the 70’s. Don’t feel bad. China uses every part of ...
We’re all obsessed with image. It’s what everyone sees first, and whether you like it or not, most people judge a book by its cover.

There’s an estimated 75-100 million cats owned in the States alone.

The way they knead all of your blankets? Maybe how they chew on plants or rub ...
Sometimes it’s hard to see reason when you think you have a good idea, especially with 7 million patents being issued by the US since 2006. Have you ever heard of a three-wheeled car? Ever been assaulted by a friend’s automatic seat belt? Do you have an In-Car Mini Bar? Most likely you’ve said no to these things, ...

We’re betting on that last one, and whether its pepperoni, fresh veggies, or melty gooey cheese, pizza is a staple for the average Joe and has been for ...

What is it about running down a field with a ball between your legs that feels so good? Not those kind of balls, perv. Soccer balls.
