My God in Heaven, someone has actually improved the umbrella. I’ve been complaining about the lack of innovation in umbrella design for some time now.
Feast your eyes upon Nubrella, which sorta combines the words “new” and “umbrella” into one easy-to-remember brand identity. For $60 you can look like a complete tool, but, but!, you’ll be protected from the elements like never before. It guarantees to protect your pretty face from wind, rain, ice, snow, badgers and more.
You don’t hold the Nubrella like you do regular umbrellas, that would be stupid. Instead, you sorta wear it, as this charming man so ably demonstrates.
The best part is that it’s PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the Nubrella to turn inside out, which happens to me all the time on windy, rainy days. (Why do gale force winds always accompany even the gentlest rain?)
Nubrella, available now. Catch it.
…and so the rest of your body gets soaked. WTF?
as opposed to a regular umbrella that protects your whole body?
you know, i think john’s head just might fit in that…
it’s like a Ghost Pac-Man is eating him. And yeah! All the rain is just rolling down onto the rest of him! Should be named “The n00b-rella”!
There’s a reason why the umbrella has not been improved - it is perfect the way it is.
See this one has some design flaws..
1. heavy rain will prevent you from seeing where you’re going - result you fall down the stairs and die.
2. strong winds will cause you to be tossed around like a bag of nachos at the Biggs - result oncoming traffic and you die.
3. extended use will result is a build - up of carbon dioxide - result you suffocate and die
4. you will look like a big dummy - result no more friends, you die of loneliness.
End result this is just plain hazardous to your health. Doesn’t look like it will keep your clothes dry either:)
In my job as a newspaper photographer, I bought a golf umbrella (extremely large area) to cover me and my gear at football games. And it paid off big-time once. I was at a Kansas City Chiefs’ game, and it was raining so hard I could barely see to the center of the field.
Now, here’s where that old-fashioned golf umbrella paid off big-time compared to this new-fangled thing-a-ma-jig (which I would not be caught dead wearing - I’m from Oregon after all). The thing was so wide that it protected not only me and my cameras, but there was room for two cheerleaders to snuggle up under that umbrella for protection from the rain. And there I stood for a good half-hour with two lovely ladies who made me think I have the greatest job in the world.
:-D
That guy won’t get close enough to a woman to let his personality be the deal breaker.
Hmmm. Can this thing be extended over the body? Like a body condom? Ooooh, the condombrella! Where can I get me one of them?!?!
Hey, this thing looks weird at first, but hell, so did the VW Beatle. I love this thing. To not hold something, to be protected and all, excellent. Love it.
this is amazing, i hate having to hold an umbrella and have to worry about getting knocked around and it flying out of my hand all the time, this is the invention of the century
DORK!
If that works it will resolve my problem in pushing my baby pram from nursery to home. Sounds wonderful but still too expensive for my budget.
Sandeep needs one.He has no friends.He is also a bit of a style guru.Why not make a tinted one so that noone can see your face.That way you wont be embarrised
I think that chris is absolutly right..I am the ultimate styly guru…I will teach him one day how to dress and look good….As for friends I have many…when your supercool people want to know you..unlike chris who’s friends are all form the nearest kebab house….Dont worry chris you will get there one day mate…..no love lost
buzzlight year to the rescue
I just bought one from UmbrellaHeaven.com - a bit pricey at £45 but if I never have to buy another brolly in my life then this is worth it! I can tell you it is FANTASTIC - you ever tried pushing a buggy with one hand, whilst holding an ordinary brolly? You just go round in circles. I’ve also tested it while riding my bike in the rain - it really works - in any case I also think the thing actually looks pretty cool - certainly gets you noticed!
