I don’t think a day goes by when I don’t wish I had the power to manipulate television. Blaring commercials, laugh tracks, reality TV… it’s enough to make you want to call your cable company and ask for a refund. In your own home you are able to change the channel or switch it off completely, but what about social settings? For example, at the bar when you’d rather be watching the Daily Show instead of the rebroadcast football game, or at the doctors office or laundromat where all they seem to play are soap operas and talk shows. These are situations where the teeny little Ninja Remote key chain comes in handy.

“Simply point the Ninja Remote at the intended target (a television set) and press the mute button for a few seconds - once the TV mutes the remote is now ready to assume full control of its victim. Innocent bystanders will be frozen with fear (or very animated with anger) as the volume and channel change magically in front of their eyes, seemingly controlled by some mysterious force.” Oh, the possibilities!

Unlike the earlier versions of this type of gadget, it comes on a key chain and is so darn small that you can have it between your thumb and forefingers, busy turning off every TV you see and freaking people out, while it’s nearly invisible inside your hand. I used to want the watch version of this universal remote, but at $9.99 and the size of 2 quarters, I’m going to have to get a Ninja instead.
