Domino's to sell one-of-a-kind "Ultimate Man Cave Couch"
posted Dec 7th 2005 1:00PM
"The Ultimate Man Cave Couch" is something we'd imagine seeing in Hammacher Schlemmer or Neiman Marcus around the
holidays, but instead the one-of-a-kind, $30,000 shrine to sloth is available exclusively from Domino's Pizza.
Apparently 500 people (read: lazy pizza addicts) were surveyed about what features they would include in the "ultimate"
couch, and instead of incorporating only the best ideas, the designers seem to have slapped on each and every
suggestion. Case in point: the beyond-tacky paper towel rolls that double as headrests, because we all know that the
best way to remove pizza sauce from your muscle-shirt is with hair gel-coated towels. Other outlandish features of this
Domino's, NASCAR, and Coke-branded monstrosity include two swiveling LCD screens, DVD player, Xbox (OG, not 360), MP3
player, XM radio with one year of service, Nextel cellphone, mini-fridge, and two embedded Domino's HeatWave bags. Also
part of the package are a Kodak camera for time-lapse capturing the inevitable weight gain of the owner, and a year's
supply of Old Spice products to save those annoying and strenuous trips to the shower. The first idiot lucky
caller who gets through to the toll-free number between 12PM and 2PM on December 14th not only gets to sully their
living room and reputation with this beast, but also gets to shell out at least $5000 more for the privilege of having
it delivered.

Um, so it's a contest to earn the right to pay $35,000 for that thing? Wow... I'm sure the lines will be flooded with phone calls!
For 30K it better do more than provide me electronic entertainment. I'm talking about giving me a massage and stuff. Know what I'm saying?
wheres the virtual boy? this is wack
Nobody's gunna buy that piece o'crap. It's a marketing ploy. Duh!
God, they should just stick to Pizza... stupid bastards. I bet the boys down at Pizza hut will be prank calling that number all week.
Remember when Homer's brother developed a car and let Homer design it? He must have designed this couch as well.
Should have made a couch out of pizza, that'd have been better. Eat yourself a butt groove.
i wonder how much of the optional recline addon?
They want 5k-7k for shipping are they crazy???
Adver-tising gim-mick.
Expect to see a slightly humorous TV commercial in time for the NFL SuperBowl.
Why did I think of the dominos game creators when I first read "Domino's" in the title? O_o
They'd better throw in one of those life alert emergency buttons to call for an ambulance when fatty gets too large to wash himself with a rag on a stick and needs a trip to the hospital.
"Some nit-picky details: The purchaser will be responsible for shipping and handling of $5,000-$7,000, depending on location (to ensure delivery by Dec. 24), and all sales taxes."
So, if I don't need it by the 24th, is the shipping free? I supoose I can be at home to accept UPS Ground if I have to.
Marketing ploy or not...this..this...whatever it is just really irks me. Given whats built in the couch, and add a premium cuz somebody stuffed it all in one package, this is still not worth 30 grand...not by a long shot. Then 5 thousand dollars to ship it..oh im sorry 5 to 7 thousand to ship it. I hope this thing comes with a lifetime supply of pizza or something.
The funny thing is that when I first saw this post I though it was mis-interpreted. I though maybe they would give it away...and that it was "worth" 30 grand...but, yeah, boy was I ever wrong...
Domino's must be really desparate to make a few extra dollars this holiday season
It Might have had a chance if it came with a lot of 10 Xbox 360's
There is no built in urine funnel, this thing is worthless to me.
No surprise that NASCAR is a sponsor of this white trash shit...
If i won the lottery, I want this baby in my den, right now. If I have to work to pay for this the good ole' way by working, forget it.
What a heap of shit. I bet I could make one of these, slighty more tastefully, for under £1k.
Really dumb. Does dominos really need the $30,000. They should make a few commercials about it make it a contest. Maybe a raffle done by mail, and you only get an entry card by buying a pizza.
As stated above, all this made me think of was Homer Simpson.
"Man Cave"
WTF?!?! Is this the gay man's couch or something!? :xO
Holy crap. What a dumbass name for a dumbass product for a dumbass stunt from a dumbass pizza chain.
Best Domino's zinger in history was on the Simpsons. Chief Wiggum and Eddie and Lou are in a parked squad car and hear what they think is a motorcycle gang. They dont have back-up so they stick a Pizza sign on the roof to avoid being detected. Lou says What if they like pizza? and Wiggum says Way ahead of you Lou and sticks a Dominos logo on the side.
Priceless.
wow - that last coment was profound.
