Top Ten Most Annoying Alarm Clocks


When it comes to alarm clocks, their job is to get you out of bed. Here are 10 alarm clocks that get you out of bed in a very annoying fashion.

The Sfera alarm clock hangs from the ceiling above your bed. When the alarm goes off, you can reach up and touch it to activate the snooze function causing it retract towards the ceiling. When snooze goes off again, you have to reach higher to activate the snooze again. Each time you activate the snooze function the alarm retracts a little higher to the point that you get your butt out of bed.

The Puzzle Alarm wakes you up by firing four puzzle pieces up in the air, then it is your mission to get the pieces and put them back in the alarm clock or it won’t turn off until then. Price:$52

The interactive alarm clock with a unique personality goes by the name, Nooby. To see what time the alarm is set you simply ask him and he reads the current alarm setting and assures you it’ll go off. When your favorite time of the morning comes around, he’ll beep and say, “Rise and shine, it’s time to get up!”. When you go back to sleep and don’t turn the alarm off right away, he’ll beep again, but this time he gets nasty, “Take your fingers out of your ears!”. To put an end to this harassing wake up call, you simply ring the clock’s blue neck. If he senses that you are angry, he’ll get grumpy and ignore you.Price:$29.95

ClearSounds Wake & Shake alarm clock features a choice of loud tones, a flashing strobe, or vibrating pad to alert you when the alarm signals or as an added bonus, when the phone rings!

Tone control offers 95 dB ring level volume intensity. Flashing strobe light breaks through sleep to wake you up. Vibrating pad can be positioned under your pillow or mattress for a sturdy nudge out of bed.

Price: $59.95


Anemone Clock rumbles when the alarm goes off, eventually shaking its way all across your room, forcing you to get up to stop it. It keeps shaking when you pick it up, shaking you awake and making it a hard to find the off button.

The Kuku Alarm Clock greets you every morning by crowing and laying eggs. It won’t stop chirping until you’ve returned its eggs.
Price:$49.95

The Drill Sergeant Alarm Clock

After a bugle plays “Reveille,” your personal drill sergeant clears the cobwebs from your brain with an inspiring round of orders you can’t fail to obey. LCD display provides you with time, alarm time, and date. Alarm with snooze button sounds with bugle, drill sergeant, or AM/FM radio (when you’re off duty, of course).

Price:$19.98

The blowfly alarm clock escapes from a cage in your room, moves and produces sound around you when the alarm goes off. To turn it off you have to catch it and put it back in its home.


The Sonic Alarm will wake pretty well anything up. Simply pull the pin, yell an emphatic “fire in the hole” and lob the grenade into the sleeper’s room. After ten seconds a very annoying and piercingly loud noise (there are three volume settings) will blast out from the alarm. That’s not all however, what makes this especially great is that to stop the alarm the sleeper has to find you so you can put the pin back in. Price:$16


When you hit Clocky’s snooze button, he will roll off of the nightstand, fall to the floor, and run around the room, searching for a place to hide. When the alarm sounds again, you have to get out of bed to find it and turn it off. He finds a new spot everyday, “kind of like a hide-and-seek game”. Clocky Official Site

LOL! I would have bought one of these for my son while in high school. It was downright dangerous getting him up in the morning, though at 22 he is now responsible. :)

I may have to buy my daughter the Nooby. :cof:
Yup, I had a feeling about those with teens. :laugh: Tough, isn't it?

this would be fun just for a general prank anytime, anywhere.
same with the grenade one -though you may want to be careful where that one is done, only because I don't think the police have a sense of humor about fake grenades

Yeah, I liked the grenade one, until I read that she would have to come looking for me to get the pin. :fifty:
 
My MIL threw a cup of water on my BIL once when he was a teenager. Me, I like mornings. :tng: Most of the time.
 
My mom turns on my light and shuts off my fan, and I slowly wake up. I alot myself about a half hour to eat breakfast, so if I sleep in a bit its not the end of the world.
 
I think the best alarm for teenagers is their cell phone. They are so programmed to answer the *(&#! things (even in movie theaters) that I'm sure they would get up for a call! LOL!

I used to let our mini schnauzers in the room to wake the kids up. They were so energetic and full of energy in the mornings and they have such a persistent, fun way of trying to get everyone involved in their joy. Hard to resist..........unless you are an absolutely cranky person in the mornings (like me). :poke:
