[VIDEO] Squirrel Identity Theft!
Posted: December 3, 2016 Filed under: Entertainment, Humor | Tags: Archie McPhee's, Big Head Squirrel Feeder, Horse Head Squirrel Feeder, novelty, Squirrel, Unicorn Squirrel Feeder, video 2 Comments
BBC Springwatch recently shared this awesome video of a grey squirrel using one of our Horse Head Squirrel Feeders. He’s determined to retrieve a tasty treat from inside the feeder, but in the meantime he looks like a horse-squirrel hybrid who’s possibly had one too many hazelnut daiquiris.
To watch squirrel shenanigans like this from the comfort of your own home simply order a Horse Head Squirrel Feeder, Unicorn Squirrel Feeder, or Big Head Squirrel Feeder, fill it with nuts, and hang it up in your yard. The squirrels will take care of the rest.

Posted: March 8, 2014 Filed under: Entertainment, Humor | Tags: Alarm clock, Clock, Daylight saving time, novelty, Shopping, Smoke detector 1 CommentThis is pretty funny. Apparently it works best with USB plugged in, not via batteries, if you plan to really use it as a clock, rather than just a novelty count-down device. Why not have a couple of sticks of (pretend) dynamite for a clock? Wouldn’t the bomb be a wake-up motivator? …if you had this beside your bed?

The remote control, a banana, maybe even a sausage have all served as substitute talking devices for children not quite old enough to have their own fully-functional mobile device.
