The End of These Stupid Speaker Docks
19We did it! The day we never thought would arrive has finally come and we couldn’t be happier. Today we’re celebrating the end of these stupid speaker docks all day long!
We’ll be doing Periscopes with trivia, interactive games, and even some sweet speaker dock destruction.
And what's a celebration without a few prizes? We're so happy to be done selling them that we’ll be giving away a bunch of the stupid pieces of crap! Plus it'll help us burn through the rest of our stock.
I’ll keep this thread up to date with new events and Periscopes as they happen so check back in to see what’s new!
Watch our Goodbye JBL Micro video
Guess how many pieces this dumb speaker dock is in & win a prize
@harrison’s 30-minute Speaker Dock De-meh-lition Guessing Game!

Good riddance!
SDF is dead, bring on Fuku Fridays!
@TaRDy I'm really restraining to not channel @carl669 here......
FINALLY!!! Now we can get back to business with expensive knives and the like, right?
@a Don't you mean cheap (but excellent) knives?
Congratulations folks!!!
YAY!
Loved the destruction video :D
Yay!! No more Speaker Dock Friday! (well, after this one is over, right?)
Glad to see them die finally
@gnext2 noo speaker docks are people too!
Meh
Good news guys! They just found 14 more pallets of speaker docks tucked away in the back of the warehouse!
@capguncowboy You joke, but for all we know they still have a ton of OnBeat Minis to get rid of...
@capguncowboy really? You best not be fucking with me! I love speaker docks!
An end or an era.....Or year of speaker docks.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus H Christ. Finally
RIP www.knivesandspeakerdocks.com ?
@RifterNova Nooooooooooo!
@RifterNova You don't think they could be bluffing, do you? Who set that redirect up anyway? Meh?
@RifterNova I didn't even know that was a thing!
@dayne @bdb is actually the one who grabbed the site and set the redirect. I was just pontificating on it; they made it happen.
@RifterNova seriously feel like they are messing with us now. They're on to us!
Congratulations!
First prize is one speaker dock, right? So second prize is two speaker docks, etc.
Hallelujah!!! Get some new crappy speakers now!!!!
Shit, I feel like I need to buy a spare (a spare backup, let's be real) now, just in case…
Will it blend?
@joedel263 no. It doesn't. Or rather it blends just about as well as your hand... Please treat your speaker dock with respect and it will respect you!
Yay, so next Friday are you selling the Mini's?
@mehdaf we can have dreams right?
Speaker docks, more like Weaker rocks.
@gabemyers HELL YEAH! *HIGH FIVE*
Spoiler alert: Every Friday is now Leakfrog Friday.
Careful what you wish for people!!
@MrHappypants I would be okay with that. At least those are useful
@MrHappypants fuck that! I want me more speaker docks!
I'm gonna miss the shitty little bastards.
I'm not afraid to say it, I want more speaker docks.
I am not related to this man. (Forget any evidence you think you've seen. Ignore anything @joelmw might say in response to these claims.)
@joelmw you're a good man. No matter what @christinewas says
@christinewas Sigh. I knew it would happen. I always thought it would be my screwy theology or crazy leftist politics. Et tu, Speaker Dock Friday? I hope we can patch things up in time for gluten-free Turkey Day.
@sohmageek Aw, thanks. That means a lot. Of course I'm a little heartbroken that only one other mediocre person seems to agree with you. :'-(
No pagination. I'm out.
I feel like these speak docks are going to be chlamydia all over again.
You celebrate and say how glad you are it's gone, until it's not around anymore...
Then you realize how much you miss it.
@jont noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
@hollboll I thought I was ready. But not for this. Not like this.
What does a goat have to live for? No more speaker docks? It had to come sometime. But during my reign? It's as if my best friend just got run over by a train. And most of my other friends laugh at the blood splatters all over the tracks.
Speaker docks never wanted to be hated. They just are looking for some love but obviously Meh hasn't been it. I think we should have a weekend of silence in mehmory of our dearly departed little buddies. The jbl micro.
@sohmageek You have only yourself to blame.
@sohmageek I was playing a game of semantics in my own mind and wondered "can you actually get run over by a train? Wouldn't it just cut you in half?" So I googled "run over by a train." I wouldn't recommend it. (do it now, you can't help yourself, the seed is planted)
@sohmageek You've taught Meh to bite the hand that has fed oh so much this past year. Bad goat! BAD!
@Chops No thanks, I've covered train crashes before.
So wait...if they are gonna be used as prizes, are you saying you plan on just keeping all of them in the warehouse. That's how most meh prizes work I think.
Fuck, now I'll probably get a fucking pallet of these...
@studerc you'd love it and ebay the shit out of them.
@studerc you aren't the first one to be worried that a pallet of speaker docks would show up for them. I may have said something about that by accident to @hollboll. But there hasn't been another fukubukuro since I said it. So...
@Thumperchick Actually my flipping days have stagnated quite a bit. Im sitting on at least $200 in meh products. The curse of the great @JonT-no...see what i did there, a stretch, I know. Worth it.
@studerc What, like, Bambino?
@studerc I'm just picturing you sitting in a chair made entirely of speaker docks. (Still in boxes) but now I think it's stuck in your head too! Game of (mediocre) thrones(!)
@jqubed **nods head. Clever, amirite?
@sohmageek dont you put those demons on me! Im just a guy trying to live a simple speaker dock free lifestyle. But the powers that be keep bringing me back into the abyss.
@studerc I think it would be fitting for your goat prize. I bet @jont would superglue the boxes together and ship the throne pallet that way.
@JonT You know what....this probably means nothing more than another crappy new speaker dock can now take its place and show up more than it has before. Which will be the newest speaker dock most of us don't need but keep buying? I'm pumped to get my sticky water resistant ones from earlier this week, WooHoo!!!!!!!!
you mean you couldn't get more from @poppiart?
@carl669 Sadly I don't think we could close on that deal, but you're really tempting fate aren't you?
@JonT it's what i do best.
@carl669 you are my hero today... I just hope I can keep restraining from saying fuck you to everyone that is excited or destroying speaker docks today.
@sohmageek why restrain? it's so much more fun to just let loose.
@carl669 fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck. Hey it is fun!
@carl669 And the "horse" you rode in on...
@2many2no hey now. don't you be messing with my horse. i'll be keeping an eye on you.
What'll we talk about now?
@KDemo Knives. Thermal cups. Purple.
@KDemo Bluetoose modo is open?
@heartny Purple thermal knife cups?! I'm in for two. Withering-gerbil-handcuffs
Lol. And to think I only bought two...
@PocketBrain Don't bring thinking into this.
@JonT
That pushed me to 201 Mehs... I think that is prize worthy. Can I have a cookie?
I have a speaker dock or two from Meh still packed up, unused. I just haven't been motivated to unpack them to try them out.
@shortman Stay strong, brother.
What if no one buys any today and they have to re-celebrate next time they're up for sale? xD
What time do the festivities begin? I have to get my party hat ready.
I felt a great resurgence in the universe, as if millions of speaker docks droned on for an era, and were suddenly silenced. I feel something wonderful has happened.
@MehAmphetamine silence falls... But you know what? I'm not even going to say it.
This made me laugh so hard, i love you guys at Mediocre so much
I hope you guys saved one in mint condition for the Meh Museum.
@ojohn Maybe a White one? It may be the one with my name on it! Anyway... They should put it behind glass.... That'd be something interesting to have in a corporate hallway, famous "mediocre" items. A speaker dock, the Drones... the CX-10... possibly a vacuum.... Some knives.
Today at wal.co.kr
Could I possibly be the only Mehrican that can honestly say I was able to resist the urge (over and over again)? Could I possibly be the only Mehrican that has never had a speaker dock cross the threshold Into my home? Should I buy one just so I can stay in "the club"? Will I be voted off the Meh island if I don't conform with the masses? I still may have neoprene cases, but no speaker docks! Yay me :). Now we can get back to WSF!
@wildmomo Nah, I never bought one either. In part because I don't like the way they seem to put unnecessary pressure on the lightning port. It's not like the clock radios that have good support behind your phone.
@cinoclav I too wish they had a clock on it... but on the plus side I had one break and JBL replaced it with a nicer model that has a radio and clock built in (but no lightning port... something about bluetooth... meh... it's a iPhone charging station with a clock!)
@wildmomo I didn't purchase one because I don't have any device to "dock" to. Oh, and because I have 0 need for them.
I did buy those suction cup water resistant Bluetooth speakers, though those aren't speaker docks, so I'm still safe, I think.
@Bogie OMG... I bought the max I could on these... They were cute and I thought they would be good gift for the teenage crowd! Still no speaker docks have blessed my mailbox or passesd thru the threshold of my house!
Of all the days. You had to pick today. I'm out all morning for a church function. How very meh of you. Dammit!
@jimmyd103 meh... Sorry.
@jimmyd103 much better choice.
Maybe I can win for not being able to spend my day here watching? From about 9:30 on I have patients pretty much non-stop all day. Damn sick people are really ruining my meh time.
@cinoclav I'm sorry I have to clean for a Baby's 1st birthday party tomorrow. It's not fun for me either.
The person who bought the last one should get some special "prize", besides our undying gratitude of course
@jderonck HEY! Just cause I was probably one of the first 10 sold doesn't that mean something?
You guys are MONSTERS for that video... You know the white ones are a rare breed... You could have used a black one, and you know, swapped out ANY of my black ones with a working white one? :)
@sohmageek It was a black one! Someone sent them Wite-Out!
No docks for me! I did buy a whole mess of bluetooth speakers though, so I guess meh still wins.
Why must you lie?
@DrunkCat it happened! And it's about to happen again.
I hope it helped that I purchased 3...hell I would have bought 8 If i could have! I love my speaker docks...it's like a super easy way to plug your phone in....while also having a speaker.
WTF is not to love!!!
@matthew IT's White! @hollboll... NOOOOO!!!! No destruction!!!!! White ones are your friends!
@sohmageek borderline.
@hollboll ouch... I re-read that... yeah... feel free to remove it :)
@hollboll Where's the rose gold one!??
Print this out. Keep it as a memento. Treasure this day.
@BillLehecka It would have been funnier if they didn't manage to sell out. :-))
Is Meh even Meh without Speaker Dock Friday? This reminds me of another deal-a-day site that turned its back on tradition. It was nice, Meh. What's next, a filter on our Random Crazy Words Page posts so people think we're talking gibberish when we get excited about our Red Bags of Hugs and Kisses?
@editorkid Is it going to become Five for friday instead of SDF? I mean... There's two for tuesday.
@sohmageek I'd be more interested in $5 Friday. No matter what they sell, I have a hard time resisting at $5.
@christinewas yes!! that's a fantastic idea!
Thanks to everyone that joined us to have fun destroying speaker docks and playing games on Periscope!
Don't worry if you couldn't make it, @matthew got plenty of footage that we'll post later. If you can't wait until then you can view our Periscopes for another 24 hours or so.
THE NIGHTMARE IS FINALLY OVER.
@JonT Thanks for the games- its was very entertaining.
@sammydog01 glad you enjoyed it! We did too.
@JonT NOOOO! I miss them already... it's like cutting off an appendage... :(
Congratulations!!!!
Is there honestly no way to fast-forward or skip with Periscope replay?
@PocketBrain Sad, isn't it?
I'm bummed that I missed out on today's shenanigans.
