The Hawaii Chair is a piece of exercise equipment that uses a motor to simulate "the ancient art of the Hula" for an aerobic workout all while you sit on your ass and work at a desk. Seriously, get out of my dreams and into my home office: This thing looks ridic! And so do the people using it (and trying to type on their computers), judging from the demonstration video above. How could you concentrate when your ass is swiveling around like that? Actually, I can think of lots of things you can do in that chair, but typing isn't one of them. (BTW, I'm talking about sexual intercourse, in case you didn't pick up on that.) Must. Have.
Hawaii Chair - Hula Workout [Random Good Stuff]











Comments
It reminds me of that episode of The Office where Dwight is bouncing around on an exercise ball at his desk.
I would totally get motion sickness.
I would totally get sick from this thing. Co-workers would think I was nuts. And all my emails would read something like: awe9uy4329-uba ad;oijhy359ujah
hello, lower back pain!
This thing will wreck your back - guaranteed.
But I also wouldn't pass up the chance to test a free one out for those 'after 5pm' activities.
Hmm...I would say 20000/10 on the Creed-o-meter
I saw this informercial at the gym and had to cover my face with a magazine, I was laughing so hard.
I think I could only draw circles at my desk and pat my stomach at the same time!
It's the mechanical bull of the corporate rodeo!
Hey, that's me! I'm a lazy, horny workaholic! I've never heard a more apt description of myself. And, no, lazy and workaholic are not mutually exclusive. I go through bouts of prolonged laziness, interspersed with periods of fervent workaholism. All other times, I'm horny.
QED, I need this chair.
A tube of construction strength adhesive and one upright dildo is all I need to make this hula chair into a thing of my mastubatory dreams.
Even without sound, that was comedy gold.
@tallyhoe: Wow. It's 11:15 and I'm awake now.
@mbprice: I couldn't have said it better.
I'm imagining getting into something really hairy during the workday and just hula-ing it out, bitch.
Uh, yeah. It's not exercise if something else is doing all the work for you & you're just along for the ride. Peoples is stoopit.
That lazy, horny workaholic Ellen Degeneres (or Degenerate, as my granddaddy is so fond of calling her) had her guests sit on this yesterday - priceless.
That is endlessly hilarious! Every office should have one. Everyone looks like a total, mortified twat on that chair.
This just reminded me that I BROKE me desk chair over the weekend. Totes wasn't meant for leaning back against the wall and I have the huge cut to prove it.
I want a chair that will accommodate my ADHD!
i'd love to meet the actors from this infomercial. wouldn't you take a second look at the actor who appeared in 'the hawaii chair' informercial? that one woman who's in the chair while at work...awesome. imagine her telling her kids "see honey? that's mommy on the hula chair!". comic gold.
I think seat-sickness may be involved
@tailfeather: It should be the punishment chair. Blow a deal? Sit in the chair. Jam the copier? Time for the chair. Everyone could crowd around and jeer, and for the dudes, probably also make fun of their ties.
The chick in the pink sweater looks like she is hanging on to that keyboard for dear life. If I brought that thing to work and fired it up, I bet I would barely make it one hula revolution before HR appeared on my caller id.
@leMaldeTete: Yeah, and you have to hold a hot cup of coffee and try not to spill it! You also have to wear a stupid hat.
When I was a kid I worked at a candy store that sold chocolate covered bananas and the tourists would line up for these things. Even as a 15 year old, I thought, don't this people know that it looks like they are sucking on an emormous, black penis?
Those same Middle Americans would be all about the Hawaii Chair.
Katastic is saved! Behold, your messiah!
@Jeremy: Messiah? Jesus Chairst!
Ok, that was such a stretch. I'm off my game today. I can already feel it.
Nevermind that the "ancient art of hula" was sacred to native Hawaiians. Thank you, white people, for ruining everything *glances at her own milky white complexion and punches self in face*
i love how that spokeswoman in the pink sweater looks like she's holding on for dear life!
@rhody: Hey, there's always money in the banana stand.
why are all the infomercial exercize machines hump machines????
this also kind of reminds me of the time i was using the computer at my ex's parent's house and his dad had one of those vibrating pads for the lower back and i had an orgasm on his desk chair. hehehe
How would you balance books if your ass moves around like that? Oh, they weren't being literal?
Top 5 most hilarious office moments to be had in a Hawaii chair...
1) Greeting a new client
2) Berating an employee
3) Drinking coffee
4) Board meeting
5) Trying to pick up a pen you dropped on the floor
@LaComtesse: Well, white people don't have anything sacred of their own, so they appropriate other sacred people's sacred things. It's our MO. The last white person sacrament was probably some druid thing, and now look. Stonehenge is a tourist trap. Cultural parasites, us whiteys.
@mbprice: Shame on pew.
@mbprice: Khakis are sacred to white people.
@Jeremy: Are we up and running?
I think "lazy, horny workaholic" is a pretty good description of me.
@wolf biter: Yes! An Arrested Development reference will always make me smile.
I'm just imagining going in for a job interview and being forced to keep a straight face while your potential employer flings their pelvis at you for 45 minutes. Perks indeed!
@LaComtesse: i just stifled a laugh and snarfed in the dead-quiet computer commons in the library--toooooo funny!!!! i especially like "trying to pick up a pen you dropped on the floor" such an amazing visual...
@rhody: who cares? they're delicious!
Work was cancelled due to weather yesterday, and I got to catch up on daytime TV. Ellen had this chair on her show, and the clips of her and her guests sitting on the chairs were freaking hilarious. I say that anyone who buys this, thinking it'll actually benefit their health, would benefit far more from an IQ check.
I can really feel my abs after laughing so hard at this infomercial and the comments. Thanks hula chair!
@thanksluckystars: Until you spend your teenaged summers making them. Then they are gross and they will be gross for the rest of your life.
Tragic, really. Eating a chocolate banana would be right in my comedic wheelhouse.
Anyone ever see Woody Allen's "Bannanas"? One of the first scenes involves the EXECUCISER for busy executives. The file cabinet shoots basketballs every few seconds, and opening the drawers involves lifting weights. But this is better.
@Scoregasm: My roommate had an exercise ball. She never actually exercised on it, she would just bounce around on it randomly while she talked to me. It totally made me motion sick and I always yelled at her to stop bouncing.
This has GOT to be a joke! "This takes the work out of your workday!" Whaaat?
That'll crack Gramma's hip!
I really thought he was going to say "it feels so good on my ASS"!
thanks y'all... between the video and the comments, my day has improved greatly.
@rhody: George Michael, is that you?
I can't tell if it's like a robotic thing or if you have to propel it in the little circles yourself.
Also, a stupid theme song is the irrefutable sign of a quality product.
I am equal parts seasick and turned on. That's a new one.
