Tocky alarm clock turns you into a gibbering morning idiot [Video]

The concept of an alarm clock on wheels that would attempt to escape your bleary-eyed grasp every morning never struck us as particularly appealing, but obviously enough people bought a Clocky for its successor, the Tocky, to be green-lighted. �As before, the clock can jump off your bedside table and try to roll away; what’s new is the fact it can be programmed with a voice clip or MP3 to blare at you too.

An integrated microphone allows you to set whatever voice message you want to be woken by – might we suggest “quick, the house is on fire!” in a suitably breathless, husky voice – or alternatively you can drop a handful of music on instead. �Touch-sensitive controls will likely prove tricky to find come the morning, while the whole thing is wrapped in a silicone casing to prevent scratches and scrapes.

This sort of frustration can be yours for just �69.99 ($110), which is admittedly a lot cheaper than a toddler. �It comes with a USB cable to load up to two hours of MP3s onto its internal storage.

  1. I think this thing is hilarious. I ordered one as a Christmas present for someone else but ended up keeping it just because I couldn't bear to part with it after I'd tried it once. I'm not a happy morning person, but when this thing starts giggling at me and then takes off, I can't help giggling with it. It's a fun way to start the morning, at least in comparison to those obnoxious klaxon alarms.
