It's like having parkinson's!

there's something bizarrely sexual about this. only a matter of time until someone cuts a hole in the seat and attaches a dildo

zoner21: It's like having parkinson's!

All my + are belong to you.

It's no Shake Weight, but it's pretty close

Tried to think of something to say but I'm speechless.

I imagine this would be about the best you could do at work while sitting in one of those:

Meh, just swiveling around in a circle like that wouldn't be worth the cost of the damn machine. If a woman sat on it, she'd just move with the whole setup and nothing would really be accomplished.

Ya know, I would usually think this was some fake infomercial made for the internet, but after seeing a TV commercial for the Shake Weight (new window) I suppose anything in the name of exercise is possible.

lol sometimes I make a similar motion (although not quite as drastically) when I've been sitting for a long time, feels great when your back is sore. This chair is stupid though.

Come sit on Daddy's lap. Oh man, did I say that?

My favorite part of the commercial is the beginning, where they say fashion is all about the shoulders and forearms.

Olivia Munn likes the Hawaii Chair..

I like how they included balancing books as an activity you could do while sitting on that thing.

I demand proof!

Effexx: Olivia Munn likes the Hawaii Chair..

Thank you.

Ben Wa balls would help sell this $%^&;

I keep seeing Sarah Chalke on a washing machine.

Olivia Munn likes the Hawaii Chair..

Not as much as Ellen.

The door master? Open the door, close the door, open the door ...

Olivia Munn is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy

Sorry to one up ya, subby.

Great. So you either look like you're sexually harassing your coworkers or grinding out an itchy asshole.

FAN-tastic.

TheShadow: Olivia Munn likes the Hawaii Chair..

Those two clips had me in tears, there's something intrinsically hilarious about watching people try to stay straight while having your ass massaged in circles.

I thought people figured out in the '50's that it's not exercising anything if the machine is doing the work?

Oh, right. The fact of overcoming difficulty. I forgot people don't believe in such nonsense on the path to magical happiness.

I've never been to Hawaii, so I should try this.

Yeah, not hot. You look like you are in a real need for a pee sitting in those chairs. I take that back. Knowing Fark, this could actually be sexy for some.

I jog. If I owned one of those, I'd totally use it.

Doint knockl it untillk youi tryu it. Io have onew and Iu looive oiit. It reallly burnnsd thew ccallorriess.

To be fair, there are a couple of ab machines that add resistance to an abominal workout and/or remove some of the strain that can go along with working abs by improving isolation. The rollers tend to be useful (and even if a machine cranks down the resistance to even 50% of a crunch, that can be a good place to start for a fatty).

Then you have biking/rollerskating instead of running and things like that.

It'll have to be pretty bad to top that stupid hula chair.

*clicks link*

Oh. Okay then.

sorry, it has to be this (new window)

by the way. a moment after i posted that, i realized it had been mentioned numerous times.

/carry on
//i was never here

It carefully grinds your vertebrae together, making them sleek and slim.

The worst part about getting fired would be having to haul your Hawaii chair down to the parking lot. That motor can't be light.

Even worse now for men too. (new window)

"There is lots?"

Much appreciated. You are doing excellent work.

WFern: "There is lots lot's?"

/FTFY

ABQGOD: I imagine this would be about the best you could do at work while sitting in one of those:


Amateur!

I've actually tried one of these things. I can sort of see what they mean by "feel it working". You do have to exert energy when it shakes, but the idea of working while using it is hilarious. You could listen to music or maybe watch TV, but that's about it.

Also in the contest for stupid exercise machines, may I nominate this?

That was a sight gag on MST3K in like the late 80s. I can't believe that guy claims to have "invented" it... it was invented a long time, ago, AS A JOKE.

In that episode, TV's Frank invented the treadmill with wheels, the stair-stepping machine that actually took you to another floor ("Frank, you've just invented the stairs.") and he was working on a rowing machine you could actually use while on the lake.

I had a Hawaii Chair.

I bought a coffee at McDonalds.

Now I have two personal injury lawsuits going.

Is the Hawaii chair claiming to help you lose weight?

I still think the shake weight is the worst.

"It's great on my..." whaaaat?

Oh... "abs."

Already been done...

Do a GIS for "sybian". Not even remotely Safe For Work.

There are.

I would say put two of them next to each other at different rpms, but the guy would end up with his johnson tied in a square knot.

Tears streaming down my face.

Infinite win in a thread full of win.

phed: only a matter of time until someone cuts a hole in the seat and attaches a dildo

"matter of time"? I'd bet it's already done and on the web somewhere.

I love the Shake Weight. *That's* something in need of a dildo attachment, not that stupid hula chair.

Not that I'd say "no" to either.
