electronic toy by tomy(?). the furby is simply a small, poor quality motherboard covered in fur.

the furby can "interact" with humans. you can rub his tummy (press a button there), massage his back (press a button there), yell at it (sound sensors pick up loud noises and trigger a seizure for the furby), and blind it (cover the light sensor on its head and trigger another seizure).

when a furby first starts up or gets reset, it only talks (plays predefined words) in a limited, shoddy "language" called "furbish." as time continues, the furby "speaks" english - giving the illusion that by speaking to it, you teach it english (sort of like a little child). furbies cannot learn english from you; it has preset words. however, you can buy mod chips that make it swear.

the furby is known for being one of the most annoying pieces of shit ever. however, it went through a fad period where there was unbridled buying of them.

The fucking scariest thing alive.

Electronic toy, pure evil.

Furbys are a stupid peice of crap so useless that they just sit on a shelf dying and making demonic noises.

Furbys are useful for:
Hitting
Painting
Beuti-fying (coloring it with ink)
Scaring Children
More hitting
Tormenting small animals
Putting in a spin dry cycle
Paper weights

Scary little shytes that look like Gremlins.

a demonic childrens toy thats sole purpose it to take over the souls of small children.......seriously.

took the batteries out of mine and it was still active for several more hours.

Pretty much the worst gift that I ever received. I ended up skinning it and discovering a wonderfully mechanical robot-looking creature beneath the woolly mess. Furby pelts are great gifts for those with understanding senses of humor.
