Behold the brilliant terror of the DDR alarm clock

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 6th 2009 at 9:30PM }

The standard "snooze button" is for the lazy. You're not lazy, are you? You want to work for those extra seven minutes of rest in the morning. Well, with the ~~DDR Alarm Clock~~ Finger Dance Alarm Clock you can honorably earn the extra sleep: just turn on your brain when the alarm chimes, key in the lit panels in order and you may go back to sleep.

Though it highlights the £9.99 ($16) cost, the product description doesn't detail if the pattern is randomly generated every morning. If it's a set pattern, your hand's muscle memory will eventually key it in faster than the frantic feet of that little boy playing DDR on ludicrous difficulty down at the cineplex.

i'll take 7. but i think this is like the snooze button that will actually wake you up cuz if you have to follow lits to go back to sleep then i'd rather just stay up cuz i cant think that much when im half asleep.

That's the point.

Interesting... I wonder what happens when you enter the Konami code on there...

Decepticon?

Ausohoj @ Jul 6th 2009 10:33PM

i was just thinking that. Konami code FTW

Impossible... I see no B or A buttons.

Complicated snooze button? Sounds like I'd just turn the alarm off and go back to sleep instead.

Well when my DS alarm clock sounds, I have to wake up, open up the screen, take the stylus,tap the screen and set a couple more minutes manually.

If I can endure this 3 times a day, I'll make that DDR clock my bitch.

Really? My alarm never goes off when my DS is closed.

ArchiGamer @ Jul 6th 2009 9:55PM

Thing probably will like this.

There was one I saw a month or so ago that was a fake bomb alarm clock. The alarm was a 30 second countdown to disarm the bomb by connecting 4 wires together. If you messed up a loud explosion noise comes out of it.

Ha that's awesome! Find me a link to that and I'm sold!

This is the worst thing I've seen for sleepers since that clock with wheels on it that runs away.

Jerk Face @ Jul 6th 2009 10:21PM

Dude, those things are fucking bitches, lol.

Shmil @ Jul 6th 2009 11:16PM

If I ever receive one of those as a gift I'm sure the first morning I'll end up taking some advil for a bruised foot after I kick it into the wall as it tries to run away. I often think what life would be like if we had droids like from star wars. If I had an R2 unit it would be soooo dented from frustration.

whylekat @ Jul 7th 2009 12:27AM

I'd hate it, but you gotta admit that run away alarm clock thing is genious!

playwhutyalike @ Jul 7th 2009 12:32AM

Just as long as my sex-droid doesn't run away, we are golden...

Leroy_Octopus @ Jul 6th 2009 10:07PM

I saw a clock a couple years ago with a spotlight on it that shined in your eyes when the alarm went off.

My college roommate had two separate alarm clocks, one would make his large lamp flash on and off quickly and the other was this circle-thing that he put under his pillow and would vibrate when the alarm went off.

The former was one of the most annoy alram ever.
