20 of the Worst Knockoff Products Ever

If you want to get rich quick, try to come up with an idea for a product that nobody’s ever thought of before.

But that’s pretty hard to do. So, if you’re OK with being significantly less rich, you can simply wait for somebody else to come up with a great idea and then shamelessly rip them off. All you gotta do is make an inferior version of their product, tweak it juuuuuust enough to avoid a copyright lawsuit, and then start cashing your checks. It’s the American way.

Today we’re celebrating some of the most brazen knockoffs of our favorite products, characters, and brands. The folks who make them might not have much originality, but you gotta admire their gumption.

3. If you ask me, Seinfeld is so good that it will take you to comedy nirvana. But I doubt that’s what they mean.

4. Waldo’s really lost this time.

5. Shhh. Don’t tell Dr. Dre.

8. I guess “Thou Shalt Not Steal” doesn’t apply to movies.

A Genius Modified a Roomba to Yell Swear Words When It Crashes into Something

Michael Reeves needs to start working for NASA as soon as possible. The young man is going places, I’m telling you, and his latest video proves why.

Reeves already has a large following on YouTube, and he probably just gained a whole lot more after he successfully programmed a Roomba to shout swear words when it bumps into things.

Some of his followers on YouTube had been asking for Reeves to make a shouting Roomba and he delivered.

Check this out:

Reeves programmed the device to scream in any voice and any words he wanted it to when he was finished. Of course, the swearing Roomba is a huge hit.

Reeves should also probably start selling these (or at least home-modding kits) because he’d probably make a fortune.

Here’s the full video for your viewing enjoyment.

What a wonderful world we live in…

Target Is Selling Affordable Weighted Blankets, and You Are Definitely Gonna Want One

I was visiting a friend recently, and all she could rave about was the weighted blanket she’d just bought. She admitted that she was basically obsessed with her new purchase. Frankly, up until she went on a 15-minute rant about these blankets, I had no idea these even existed. So, I went home, fired up Google, and did a little research.

These products are all the rage because they’re helpful for people who have anxiety, are stressed out, or just want to get a really good night’s sleep. But the big drawback has always been that they’re pretty expensive.

Not anymore, ladies and gents!

Target is selling a 12-pound weighted blanket for $70, significantly less than most weighted blankets on the market.

While they’re less expensive, they are also a little lighter than standard weighted blankets – often it’s recommended that weighted blankets weigh about 10% of the user’s body weight. Though maybe that’s just Big Blanket…

I haven’t actually tried one of these babies out yet, but all I’ve heard are glowing reviews from friends and reviews online. And they’ve been scientifically proven to relieve stress and anxiety. So grab them up while you can! Perhaps as a Christmas gift?
