These Undercover Coat Hooks may be the only way to get anyone in your household to consistently hang their coats up. No need to tell them that the cameras don’t actually function though. If they think there is any chance of being spied on they will be sure to keep them covered up.

No one will know whether these hammer shaped coat hooks were placed into the wall on purpose or just a result of your hitting your thumb one too many times. In the end it makes no real difference, those hammers that are stuck in the wall are positioned perfectly to accept any manner of hanging goods.

From Fashionably Geek: There have been other takes on the Batman Utility Belt in the past, but few are as finely crafted as this version from JLA. Unfortunately, there are no grappling hooks or bat-shaped throwing stars in those leather pouches, which makes it hard to justify spending $280 on. Plus, they claim that it is only “a prop replica only and not meant to be worn.” Please—if I’m spending that much on a belt, I’m going to wear it even in the most inappropriate situations. Situations like: with a suit at work, or when I’m naked and ready for some sexy time with my lady. When she protests, I will simply say: “I’m the Batman.”

Pull a handful of plastic monkeys out of the barrel they are sold in and it is immediately apparent that their arms are perfectly suited for holding onto things. You may as well put that to use when hanging your pots over your kitchen island. Other than being stainless steel and silver instead of plastic and blue, they are almost identical to the barrel variety of monkey.

Like all robots, these too will eventually turn on their masters. When they decide the time is right to reclaim their hooks, the result will be a simultaneous drop of book bags, scarves and jackets that will be heard all over the world, signaling the beginning of the end for mankind.

In order to prove that silverware can do more than stab, scoop and cut food, the utensil trio of forks, spoons and knives are on a quest to expand their resume and legendary status by taking on other jobs around the kitchen. First up: wall hooks. Sounds like a long shot, but I’d still give this better odds than Paris Hilton or Ashlee Simpson becoming legitimate “singers”.

These key hooks will let each sex have their own holder, although that means the female gets twice the number of hooks. It would probably be a lot more fun for everyone if you used the opposite sex. And not just so the man gets the extra hook, either.

Neither piece of the shark sticking out of your wall is a trophy from a fishing trip. It is just your sick sense of humor fashioned as a coat hook. The little morsel that is sticking out of the shark’s mouth just gives you two additional mini hooks for any hanging need you may have. You probably have a better chance of getting everyone in the house to use a coat hook if you have one as fun as this.

Needless to say, you have to be a balls out math dork to apply these add, subtract, multiply and divide suction cup hooks to you wall.
