Talking Animal Clocks

We at Online Clock love to keep our eyes and ears open for new trends in alarm clocks…this just happens to go along with the territory of running the world’s most popular online alarm clock website.

This is why we were recently surprised to learn that there are so many Talking Animal Clocks available out there.

There is certainly something primitive in us that makes us love animals. From the time when we’re small children, up until we become adults and obtain our own menageries of house pets, human beings just love animals. (Well, actually not enough, right? Because if we truly loved animals we wouldn’t push them into extinction or hunt them and eat them…but that’s a separate topic.)

Human beings love buying objects and clothes and anything at all with an animal motif or animals printed on them. This holds true whether we’re talking about t-shirts, pajamas, bed linens, wallets, porcelain keepsakes or even…you guessed it…alarm clocks.

Recently, we discovered an entire zoo’s worth of Talking Animal Clocks and we wanted to present the most interesting of these animal-themed clocks to you here in our alarm clock blog.

So, without any further yabber, yabber, yabber, here is Online Clock’s official list of the very best Talking Animal Clocks:

Hambone Animated Talking Pig Clock
This clock has an animated pig who talks with a Texan cowboy accent. This idea for a clock sounds ridiculous but the clock is actually pretty neat. The Hambone Animated Talking Clock spouts off wake-up messages when the alarm goes off such as: “Does any one feel like a Texas two step?” and “Heeeere, piggy, piggy, piggy!”.

Kimba Animated Talking Chimpanzee Clock
Kimba is apparently the name of the chattering chimp in this Talking Chimpanzee Alarm Clock. Kimba wakes you up by shrieking around a lot like a chimp and spouting a few not-so-notable sayings such as, “Get up!” and “Hi there”. Although Kimba’s wake-up messages are pretty lame, the somewhat hideous shrieking sounds made by this chimp are enough to wake the dead.

Beaks Animated Talking Parrot Clock
The talking parrot in the Beaks Alarm Clock here has a decidedly maritime theme, and it wakes you up with seagoing-related messages such as, “All hands on deck!” and “Wake up or you’ll be shark bait!”. All in all, the Beaks clock is one of the funniest here: it’s kind of like a bird version of Captain Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean who has the job of waking you up each morning.

Bossy Bessie Animated Talking Cow Clock
Bessie is a cow who’s really a bit bossy when she wakes you up with words of wisdom such as, “Oh dear, is it morning already?”. She seems to be a bit vain and is always batting her eyelashes and probably fishing for compliments regarding how good she looks (or so she probably thinks). Reminiscent of Miss Piggy from Sesame Street.

Talking Pink Cat Clock
This talking pink cat really has nerves. She wakes you up with sayings such as, “Milk time…be a dear and go get me some” and “it’s not easy, being this pretty, you know”. As with Bessy the cow (see the previous alarm clock), this is one vain, stuck-up alarm clock: she probably thinks she’s just purrfect.

Boss Frog Animated Talking Clock
Finally, we present to you the Boss Frog Alarm Clock. This is a big robotic frog who wakes you up froggy-style with such pearls of wisdom as, “It’s move it or lose it time!” and “Froggy to the beat, baby!” and “You snooze, you lose, pal!”. There’s something likable about this robotic frog, so if your kids are frog fans, they just might get a big kick out of this clock.

These clocks are all similar in that they present to us some idealized form of an animal that’s used to wake us up, and they all attempt to come up with witty sayings that are used as alarm messages. Some of the clocks we’ve presented to you succeed more than others in this, and it’s of course up to you to decide whether any of these clocks is good enough to grace your bedside night table.

As you can tell by looking at our collection of Talking Animal Clocks, there is no end to human beings’ imagination when it comes to thinking up ideas for tacky, kitschy, but sometimes wonderful animated clocks with animal themes.

We think this is a good thing, and certainly, if you have a young son or daughter, they will share our opinion.

So, if you’re currently seeking ideas for Christmas gifts for the upcoming holidays and have an animal fan of some kind in your family, keep in mind the possibility of purchasing for them an alarm clock which bleats or barks or otherwise wakes them up with an agreeable animal noise of some kind: a Talking Animal Alarm Clock.

We look forward to our next excursion into the realm of weird alarm clocks with you and say, until then, good night.

Translation: meow, oink, ribbit, etc…
