What to buy for your stupid friend this Christmas

Lets face it. We've all had that really stupid friend that always seems to get themselves in trouble. They're also usually really hard to buy gifts for because other than throwing up in a garbage can outside of a bar or hitting on an underaged girl, you're not quite sure what they actually do. Don't worry, we've been researching a bunch of stuff here at Just South of North (actually Casey just went to Walmart) and we've got you absolutely covered.

1. Zombie apocalypse kit in a sardine can - After watching a bunch of zombie movies, I've concluded that the only people that will survive the zombie apocalypse are complete morons. Here's a zombie apocalypse kit in a sardine can. That should help them when they find their one true calling in life... killing zombies.

2. Lost waller and keys finder - Does your friend keep losing his crap everywhere. Do constantly find yourself waiting while he stumbles around trying to figure out where he dropped his wallet after he downed four rum and cokes? Fear not, this will shorten the search.

3. Carbon Monoxide Test Kit - Your friend always talks about how he likes to leave the car running in the garage or that his muffler seems a bit louder than normal. We all know what happens next, maybe kindly hint that he shouldn't be sitting in his own exhaust fumes with this number.

4. Hangover Cure - Coming into work with a bad hangover can really hurt productivity. So instead of just picking up the extra work for your friend, get them this wonderful cure. It's the everyday man's Christmas present. If they everyday man drinks everyday...

5. Velcro Shoes - Because tying knots takes a lot of brain power...

Christmas gift idea: Shake Weight

It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Wow. In all the marketing of this product noone thought, "hey, this just seems like a bad idea." I really can't believe that. But, somehow these commercials got made.

Christmas gift idea: obstacle course

It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Everyone thinks that they can do an obstacle course. And it's for that reason that so many gameshows incorporate one into their programing. But the truth is, they just look painful.

Christmas gift idea: Bodyboard

It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

You'd think that something as simple as a bodyboard wouldn't need instructions. Apparently it does. WARNING: Make sure you reach water upon jumping toward waves of ocean.

Christmas gift idea: Port-a-Potty


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Port-A-Potty. Or Honeybucket. Or movable toilet. Whatever you call them, you might think that one would be an awesome Christmas gift. I mean who wouldn't love to have to dig catholes outside anymore? The problem arises when other people become jealous of your new found outdoor toilet and they want to sabotage it.

Christmas gift idea: Spiderman costume


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

With great power comes great responsibility. And with a Spiderman suit hilarity is sure to come. Just because you wear the suit doesn't make you the superhero.

Christmas gift idea: A live tree


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

I know what you're thinking. But Casey, a live tree would be a great gift. Help the world stay green. Right? Wrong. Because then the person you gave the tree to feels obligated to plant the tree in their yard. And chances are they might plant it too close to their house. Then they'll decide to remove the tree years later when it's REALLY big. And as the video shows, that's easier said then done.

Christmas gift idea: swing set

Sure swing sets can be fun. Feeling like you're flying. But what if you something goes wrong? Then I'm sure your friends will laugh at you forever. Much like this kid.

Christmas gift idea: Picture book

It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

At first I was going to list a picture book as a bad idea for anyone over 8. But then I saw the following infomercial. Now I'm thinking this guy might need one.

Christmas gift idea: Wii tennis racket

wii sports package
It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

The Wii is awesome. I have one. Brandon has one. We like the Wii around here at JustSON. However, I've seen these accessories for the game. You don't need them to play and after watching the following video, I'm never using them.

Christmas gift idea: Icy Roads


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

If you really wanted to ruin someones day, then give them an icy road. Perhaps a road like the one featured in the video.

Christmas gift idea: The Flex-O-Ladder

ladder
It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

When I buy I ladder the last thing that I want in the name is "flex." I want a sturdy ladder that is solid. With no flex. If there is flex then bad things happen. Watch the video. Although the guy just keeps going despite getting a concussion, he's not helping his cause.

Christmas gift idea: Katana Sword


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Swords are a bad idea. Unless you're a trained ninja, which 98% of us are not, then don't play with them. Don't believe me? Just watch the infomercial where the guy is selling them. Nothing good comes of owning a cheap sword.

Christmas gift idea: A puddle


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

The sun comes out and dries up your gift. All you wanted to do was jump around in your puddle but you couldn't even do that before it dried up because an elk was. Sadness.

Christmas gift idea: Pet Rhino


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Rhinos are big creatures. They are meant to run around in the fields of Africa. Not snuggle with you on your coach. Plus, as the following video shows, even talking rhinos are kinda' rude.

Christmas gift idea: Killer Robot


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Everyone thinks that having a robot would be cool. I used to. But not all robots are going to look like Rosie and do your chores. Some could look like the one in this video. Bad gift idea. Just stick to remote control cars.

Christmas gift idea: The Tiddy Bear

It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

I seriously did not think they were saying "tiddy" during this commercial. Plus, could you imagine getting this? "Here honey, you always nag me in the car about your seat belt. Put this bear on your tiddy and you'll be fine."

Pervert bear is more like it.

Christmas gift idea: Extenze


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

How awkward a Christmas morning would this be. You wake up and run to the tree to see what Santa left you. There is your Uncle Bob opening his present from your Aunt Judy. At first you think it's gum, but then you see the container. And realize that Jimmie Johnson has sold his soul for a dollar, and a larger....

Christmas gift idea: The Gazelle


It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

I wouldn't buy this product just because of this commercial! But then again, if you gave it someone they can always work on their "butt-OH-tocks!"

Christmas gift idea: Slender Shaper

slender shaper
It's that time of day! Time for the "24 days of bad Christmas gifts!"

Who needs to go to the gym anymore? Buy one of these silly belts and you'll be able to "watch the fat melt away" as the commercial states. It's like a fat melting magic machine! Just hook it up and bounce around. And guys, good luck if you give this to your ladies. Because you are sure to get slapped.
