Stupid and Unnecessary Product Nomination

Have you stumbled across a product so baffling, so gloriously idiotic, that it made you question reality itself? Perfect. You’re in the right place.

This is your chance to submit to Stupid and Unnecessary, a daily celebration of the weirdest, most ill-conceived, “how is this real?” items the internet has to offer. We’re not here to judge your taste—we’re here to broadcast it for everyone else’s amusement.

Use the form below to submit to Stupid and Unnecessary. Include a link to the product, your best roast, and any context that helps us understand what in the world we’re looking at.

Nominate a Product

What We're Looking For

  • Plastic sushi slippers

  • Edible glue sticks

  • Canned air labeled “Mountain Breeze”

  • A toaster for hot dogs (yes, that’s real)

In other words: anything that’s technically a product but spiritually a prank. If it looks like it was brainstormed by a committee of raccoons and approved by someone who once owned a Flowbee, it belongs here.

Whether it’s a pointless gadget, a cursed Etsy listing, or a shameless cash grab on Amazon, submit it to Stupid and Unnecessary and let the internet bask in its impractical glory.

How to Submit to Stupid and Unnecessary

We’re not picky. If it made you laugh, cringe, or question humanity, that’s probably enough. Here’s what to include:

  • A link to the product (Amazon, Etsy, eBay, etc.)

  • A name (real or fake) to credit

  • An optional rant about why this thing exists

  • Your email (if you want a notification if we feature it)

There’s no gatekeeping here. Whether it’s a glow-in-the-dark bidet or a tactical banana holster, it has a home on this site.

Submission Tips

Here’s how to get noticed:

  • Make sure it’s real and still online

  • Avoid duplicates already in our Previously Pointless products

  • Keep the roast short but spicy

  • Feel free to invent a fake product name or tagline—we love a good pun

Yes, we manually review everything. No, we don’t mind laughing through tears.

What Happens After You Submit

Once submitted, we review each product for maximum trainwreck potential. If your submission makes the cut, we’ll give it its own post and let the community rate it on the stupid and unnecessary scale.

If your submission makes the cut:

  • It gets its own post

  • Visitors vote on its stupid and unnecessary ratings

  • You’ll get credit if you left a name (and bragging rights)

  • If you gave us an email, we’ll even let you know it’s live

No email? That’s cool. Just check the Leaderboard or browse the site like a curious gremlin. If you provided your email, we’ll give you a heads-up. If not, you’ll just have to check back like the rest of us.

Need Inspiration?

Not sure what qualifies as submission-worthy? Check out our previously pointless product spotlights or browse ThisIsWhyImBroke.com for additional proof that product development has officially gone rogue. You’ll find everything from bacon-scented mustache wax to inflatable unicorn horn sets for cats.

If it makes you say “What in the fresh hell is this,” you’re on the right track. Bonus points if it also makes your coworkers stop, stare, and slowly back away from your screen in quiet judgment.

Other Important Pages You Might Regret Visiting

Submissions are reviewed for ridiculousness, originality, and general trainwreck appeal. By submitting, you’re consenting to let us lovingly mock your discovery in public. We will not sell your email address. We will barely use it at all. Probably.
