In my room, Clocky’s blaring wake-up call shot me upright immediately, or perhaps it was the angry barking of the alarmed family dogs that did it-the immediate swirl of activity with the two barking and snapping at the new noisy rolling dog toy on the floor was a LOT. Because he’s a teen, a member of my household or for whatever reason, my son keeps piles of clothes and shoes on his floor, so Clocky didn’t have a lot of rolling room to work with, and certainly couldn’t hide electronically screaming under the bed like in some TikToks. In fact, we could hear it through his bedroom wall. When using it, my son noted that even after the alarm jumped to his bedside floor, it is still loud enough to really motivate you to get out of bed to turn it off.

The rolling function can be disabled, but it’s the full drunk-droid experience we are after here-so if you’ve set the circle “rolling” button, the little guy hops off your bedside table and rolls around on the floor a few feet away, noises blazing. Overall, the sound is annoying, as if R2D2 guzzled a little too much motor oil and won’t stop shrieking at you in a crowded club. No, this alarm sets itself apart by spitting out a series of metallic buzzing, tittering and humming noises including what seems to be a recording of a dial-up modem circa 1991. When the alarm goes off, it doesn’t ring like a traditional wind-up alarm or play peaceful sitar riffs like your iPhone lets you choose. There are four primary buttons: Hour, Minute, Alarm and Time. Overall, the effect is of an inexpensive portable alarm clock (it takes 4 AAA batteries) crossed with a toy monster truck. On either side of the main chassis there are four-inch wheels with tread. The 5.25-by-3.5-inch clock looks like no other alarm clock you’ve ever seen-the central egg-shaped plastic body comes in cheery light blue, navy, red, pink, white or chrome and has a central LED back-lit time readout.
