Dr Who Dalek Talking Alarm Clock – wake up to the sound of an angry alien

I don’t know, I’m thinking the only thing worse than being woken up by the ‘exterminate’ of this Dr Who Dalek Talking Alarm Clock thing, would be if it rolled up to your bed and shoved the sink plunger into your eyeball repeatedly until you made a move for the bathroom. Man, masochism comes in strange shapes nowadays, that’s for certain. $37.15.

At 25 centimetres tall, this golden replica of those dastardly Daleks features an alarm clock with LCD display set into the Dalek’s chest. When the alarm goes off, your Dalek’s ears and eyes (we thought they were just knobs) will light up and you’ll be treated to 3 of their famous phrases: ‘You would make a good Dalek’, ‘You are the enemy of the Daleks, you must be destroyed’ and who could forget that heart-warming cry ‘Exterminate!’.

Yes!!!

Those would probably be easy to make, sort of an accessory to the vacuum rather than as a different model. Hmmmm.....

Alonzi!

I think for a talking alarm clock, I prefer the “Jeeves” alarm clock offered by Hammacher-Schlemer, which utters such charming announcements as “It appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree. I believe it is the rotation of the earth that is to blame, sir,” and “I feel sure you have slept soundly, feel thoroughly refreshed, and await the day with the anticipation of an energetic gazelle.”

No,you cannot have one ...oh, ok you can, but you have to keep it in the cellar! I’d rather have a Tardis pencil holder/bank....wait, we do have one of those!

[Reaganesque]

That would totally freak out my cats! LOL

[Reaganesque]

I’ve seen that one too! It is voiced by Stephen Fry. Perfect!

I have a little cd player timed to wake me up,

but I persist in placing classical guitar, Chopin nocturnes and Handel’s Messiah on the spindle.

I wake up to the sound of the unit activating, but am qyickly lulled back into dreamland by the exquisite music!

Where are the Cybermen when we need them?

[Hoffer Rand]

I do on weekends when I hear the leafblower operator yelling at his coworkers.

Mexican bagpipes.

Go for it! Let me know when I can accept delivery of the prototype.

I'd prefer to wake up to the sound of an illegal alien...

It's no fun...

[JRios1968]

But Hello Kitty has no mouth, how does it make noise?

Rule 34...

I would have sworn that the name was spelled Darlek, but I guess not. Sure seemed that is the way it was pronounced on the shows.

The geek & collector won out. Bought one for the collection over a year ago.

The Guy Inside also wins, because it isn’t used at the bedside; since I retired, I only use the alarm if I need to be before noon.

Maybe we’ll name our next cat Dalek.

“Mouse, you are vermin! You will be exterminated! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!”

[EveningStar]

I know you’re a Doctor Who fan. :)

[Borges]

They still are! And the new show is terrific.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I’m waiting to see New Guy. I had trouble when Tennant took over from Eccleston but I got over it. On the other hand, the guy who took over from Baker never had a chance.

[Borges]

Peter Davison was excellent. The key to playing the part is to be as different from your predecessor as possible. If the actors had all been William Hartnell clones the thing would have folded a long time ago.

This is the song on my alarm clock.
