30 Weird Inventions That Are Actually Genius

At first glance, most of these brilliant inventions may appear odd, crazy and strange. But when you think about it, they are highly practical and actually quite genius in their simplicity. And best of all, most of these can be bought!

1. Baby Stroller and Scooter Hybrid

Is this unusual concept irresponsible? Maybe. But it has a custom hydraulic brake system and safety strap for the little one to be snugly kept in place. And away we go!

2. Flask Tie

This is just perfect for all those occasions you need to sneak in a sip without anyone knowing. Think about the possibilities! You can avoid the exorbitant beverage prices at your favorite venue. Although some may wonder why you’re wearing a shirt and tie at a sporting event.

4. Ping Pong Door

While these images are cool, it’s obvious they only work as a concept and would require some heavy DIY. We found a far more practical and affordable version of door pong:

5. Goggle Umbrella

Does the same job as a clear umbrella but looks way funnier.

6. Baby Mop

Absolutely adorable and hilarious! I mean, if they are going to crawl all over the place and make a mess why not let them clean up after themselves too?

7. Boyfriend Pillow

While this may look creepy to some, the Boyfriend Pillow is actually a very popular product with raving fans. Check out the reviews, they are hilarious: “Unfortunately perfect”, “Better than your cheating boyfriend”.

8. Ironius: The Coffee Mug Iron

Ok, we don’t know how this made it in the list. Thankfully, you can’t buy this anywhere, so it looks like it never passed the concept stage. Imagine the coffee spilling everywhere as you frantically try to iron your shirt before it cools down!

9. The Ab Hancer

This one is pretty funny. If only!

10. Anti-Theft Lunch Bags

This silly product would make a great April fools joke for the kids’ lunchbox.

11. Weight Watch Belt

This creative product allows you to track your waist size every time you put your belt on. A great way to keep yourself in check… or just avoid the belt altogether. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find it for sale anywhere.

12. Cutting Board Bird Feeder

A creative solution that looks like a lot of fun. For bird owners prone to DIY, this might be worth a try. If not, you can just slide the crumbs into a bowl like a normal person.

13. Football Soccer Chair

Great concept, you need a very small net like this one to make this game work.

14. Knitted Beard Hat

Keep your face warm in winter while also becoming a laughingstock. Sign me up! Lots of cool designs can be found on Amazon.

15. Sleeping Bag with Arms and Legs

This should replace every sleeping bag immediately. If you’re looking for a serious brand that makes a high quality product, you can’t go wrong with hygger.

16. Quack: A Duck-Billed Protective Muzzle For Dogs

Unfortunately it does not make them quack too.

17. The Dogbrella

Your dog deserves water protection. This funny little thing will do just that.

18. Ostrich Pillow

Who cares what people think – this thing is comfortable!

19. Foot Powered Bike

This thing is called a Fliz Bike, and it was invented in Germany as an alternative to walking and cycling. It never really took off.

20. Pizza Scissors

At first glance, this might look unecessary. But it’s a total game changer. It actually works very well and if you love making pizza we highly recommend getting one.

21. Mix Sticks

This has over 1000 positive reviews on Amazon for good reason. They are of great quality and make cute gifts for musical people. Bonus if they love to cook too!
