- [Narrator] Modern design is
supposed to improve our lives, but there's some not so
genius products out there that are beyond face palm worthy and just unnecessarily strange. From totally useless
items, to unnerving ideas, here's some of the most
uncomfortable things ever designed. (gentle music) - Amazing. - [Narrator] Family mealtimes can always be jazzed up
with some new table decor, but perhaps this puking cat gravy boat, isn't the best thing to
pull out when you have grandma over for dinner, this is off putting product, claims to be perfect for any meal, but honestly, after seeing a cat throw up all over your dinner, would
you still want to eat it? Some people enjoy creating wacky solutions to problems that never
really existed to begin with. Take this product for example, which has been created to ease the stress of typing with a fresh set of acrylics, because plastic nails must be
protected at all costs, right? You can now attach your
own silicone fingertips to this Silence of the Lamb style answer to all your office needs. Avocado lovers out there can now rejoice, because there's an even easier
way to satisfy your craving for a millennial avocado on toast. The avocado stick is the perfect way to enjoy your favorite snack on the go, without the added fuss
of opening a fresh avo. I doubt that this highly
unnecessary invention would pique everyone's
interest with its unnerving roll-on deodorant like appearance, not to mention the fact that mother nature kind of keeps avocados
fresh for us already. Cycling to work is a great way to cut down your carbon footprint, but if you feel safer
on foot, worry no more. Meet the shoe bike, which
combines the thrill of cycling with the familiar feel of
pavement on your foot, kinda. This hair-brained invention was created to demonstrate the effectiveness of Adidas's high performance running shoes and it actually works surprisingly well, between those furious vibrations and its ridiculous appearance though, this is still one seriously
uncomfortable design. And if the world isn't
already using enough unnecessary plastic, someone went ahead and designed this box of Tic Tacs, which is inexplicably filled with 60 more tiny boxes of Tic-Tacs. Each one seems to contain a grand total of about five Tic Tacs. Is this some marketing ploy to encourage healthy portion sizes? And couldn't leave at
least organize them better to please my inner perfectionist? People like to pimp their cars with all kinds of interior decor and bobble heads can be a
real source of amusement, but this dashboard
wiggler is definitely more terrifying than fun. This little fella known as Slicey the pig, is based on an old French
cartoon and is designed to look like he's carving himself up, as he wiggles away maniacally. What better way to disturb your passengers into never getting into your car again? Crocs might be considered one of the most hideous footwear creations, but these fake feet sandals
could just give them a run for their money. I can't imagine a situation
which would require someone to inconspicuously
disguise their feet as flip flip-flops, but
at least these exist now, should the time come. Speaking of ridiculous products
for unusual situations, take a look at these dentures
with a hidden USB stick. This disturbing hard drive
might not go down so well at a Monday morning board meeting, but it could be the perfect
gadget for an OAP super spy. If you're looking to stand
out at the beach this summer, what better way to make a statement than some denim swimwear? Yes, this crime against
fashion really exists, and they claim to be
totally chaff free too, which is good to know. There are plenty of designs to choose from and whether you're at the beach, fishing, attending a festival or even out hiking, these babies are guaranteed
to keep all eyes on you. Plenty of people have trouble
sleeping on long haul flights and finding a comfortable position with such limited space can be a struggle, but the face cradle is here
to change all that for you. With this unique headrest, you can annoy the passenger behind you, by strapping yourself to their in-flight entertainment system and then sleep peacefully
while suspended face down. If you're prepared to sacrifice
your dignity for comfort, I guess this design
isn't too bad after all. If you're a wine lover, then you'd be smart to steer
clear of this wine glass, unless you want to end up with
red wine all over yourself and your brand new sofa. The more you think about it, the more frustrating the idea
of drinking from this becomes, this infuriating design is the
work of Athens-based artist Katerina Kamprani, who created
it as part of her collection of deliberately uncomfortable
objects designed especially for your inconvenience. Here's another one of
Kamprani's creations, the chain fork, which is enough
to make anyone's toes curl. The torture doesn't stop there though, because there's a whole
range of useless cutlery in her catalog, which had
been designed to ensure that you never get a
bite of solid food again but that's not all, take a
look at this useless tea set. Just imagine pouring
that thing, or even worse trying to take a sip from the
ridiculously elongated mug. Fashion isn't everyone's forte, but you'd expect a world renowned pop star like J-Lo to have better taste than when she stepped out
wearing these hideous Jean boots. They may be Versace, but that certainly doesn't make them okay and this should be solid proof, that shoes and jeans should never mix. I guess they are time-saving if you suddenly need to
run to the bathroom though. People loves to love the Royal family and what better way to support the union of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, than wearing their faces on
these flattering swimsuits? Plastering the face of the
Royal heir and his wife all over your body is definitely
one way to grab attention and not to dimension Harry's
interesting beard placement, but why stop there? Try Will and Kate on for size and maybe even the queen herself. If you're an avid cyclist it's important to
remember bike safety rules and a helmet is the most
essential item to have before you set off. There are plenty of options out there, but this big head helmet
is equal parts impressive and disturbing, drivers might
mistake you for Megamind, or some other freakish humanoid with this thing on your head. If you also happen to be a
bald man with a beard that is. There's a reason clothing is designed for specific body parts, but that
doesn't stop some designers from messing with the system anyway. Take a look at these Handerpants, which are made from breathable cotton and designed to wear
underneath your regular gloves, to keep your hands extra toasty. Are you naked under those gloves? Seriously put on some Handerpants dude. I can just about let
the Handerpants slide, but these Croc gloves are
absolutely unforgivable. Not only do they look
incredibly uncomfortable, but all those holes are going to provide no warmth whatsoever, making these ugly and pointless. Thankfully, the guy who
designed them got a speedy cease and desist from
the official Crocs brand. Clothes say a lot about
a person's personality and they can be a great
way to make a statement, but this sweater has
really something to behold. It must be hard to know
exactly where to look, when someone is literally
covered in nipples, making this one incredibly
uncomfortable design, although it does look kind of cozy. This bar stool has been
designed for maximum comfort for all the guys out there, so why does it somehow
still feel so uncomfortable to look at? Maybe it's the implication
that for someone's crown jewels to fit perfectly, they'd
almost definitely have to be naked to begin with, which is
a pretty disturbing thought. Nowadays wired headphones are
being gradually taken over by Bluetooth connectivity, but this unique design has found
a way to embrace the wires. Unfortunately, they also make it look like you've got slimy insects
crawling into your ears, which isn't a such a pretty sight. The hairbrush is a pretty standard device, so there's no real need to redesign it and I'm certain nobody has for this unnerving
alternative to be created. Is there really anything
more uncomfortable than imagining the sensation of a hundred tiny rubber fingers
running through your hair? Maybe this was created for the same people who need this creepy handholding phone case to remember what a human touch feels like. Selfie taking seems to
be the standout staple of millennial culture, but I'm pretty sure
everyone was doing just fine before these so-called
selfie shoes were designed. Yes, they really expect
you to insert your phone into the toe compartment,
before sticking your leg into the air to snap a pick with pals. It's definitely harder than it looks, not to dimension how ridiculous those elongated shoes look to begin with. Once again, this hands-free
pizza pouch is nothing more than a ridiculous solution to
a problem no one had anyway. It's hard to imagine a scenario where you'd have just one slice of pizza, which urgently needs saving for later, let alone wanting to stick
it in a plastic pouch and carry it around with you, but hey, at least this
guy seems pleased with it. Fanny packs are a great way
to store things on the go without having to take
a big bag out with you, but this dad bag has some seriously questionable design qualities. If you're a slim guy,
this unique bag gives you the opportunity to rock
the so-called dad bag, complete with a hairy belly button and it comes in more than one design too. I guess this is one way to sneak alcohol into a football game. Sometimes a second opinion is needed when putting together a new outfit and anyone thinking about
purchasing this $990 Fendi touch a fur shawl, should probably seek some friendly advice first. In case you're wondering
exactly what makes this designer item so uncomfortable to look at, try turning it upside down. Adding a touch of the natural world to modern design can have a big payoff, but if you're going to
make cutlery handles from tree branches, you
should probably consider removing the thorns first. Sitting down to eat your meal with a knife and fork like these, would be like attempting
a sadistic saw game, but sometimes pleasure does equal pain. Every child loves to play in the park on classic swing sets and roundabouts, but there's something not
quite right about this slide, besides the fact that it looks
like a shiny beige tongue, the slide is a total recipe for disaster, because it literally has no railings. Seriously making it to the
bottom of this thing in one piece would take some mad skills. Speaking of uncomfortable
play park designs, this hardly seems an appropriate design for a children's climbing wall, it doesn't seem all that practical either. Maybe the whole thing just
melted in the sun on day? I wonder how many parents have
struggled with this design? Hey kids, why don't you go play on the.. this so-called dog dicer
is incredibly uncomfortable for any member of the
male species to look at, not to mention how pointless
it is to begin with. Processed Frankfurters have got to be one of the easiest things to cut up and who's consuming enough of them that they need to be diced
in such large quantities? Bathroom design can get pretty fancy, but I'm not sure the owner of this sink properly thought through
their choice of marble, before installing this
questionable design. Any unsuspecting guests would
probably think they've locked in on some unspeakable
scene of smeared poo before realizing what's actually going on. No matter how many times
this bathroom gets cleaned, it's always going to look filthy. Snuggies may not be the
coolest products around, but they're certainly cozy for
lounging around the house in, but have you ever seen a baby Snuggie otherwise known as the peeker roo? The mother and baby in this photo might seem incredibly
happy with this invention, but I just can't shake
how much this resembles those horrid chest bursting aliens from the alien films. Speedy note taking is a skill
most people acquire over time, but with these personalized
alphabet notebooks, you can ensure that you never
take coherent notes again. The idea might seem sound enough, but how did these actually
make it into production without someone pointing
out that it would be virtually impossible to
get a full sentence out in any of these books? Things don't get much more uncomfortable than this solid steel beanbag, it takes a real evil genius
to take something as innocent as the classic bean bag and turn it into a cruel joke like this. Just imagine the pain of jumping on to it without realizing? Thankfully with a price tag of $4,500, this criminal design isn't
likely to appear anywhere but in someone's millionaire mansion. Which of these terrible designs did you find the most uncomfortable? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching. (gentle music)
