Annoying Christmas (1$) by Baboonix
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
Christmas is The Most Wonderful Time of the Year… for sending idiotic yet strangely festive videos to your friends and family! In a world where nearly every Christmas app is aimed at spreading cheer and good will, Annoying Christmas is uniquely positioned to capitalize on all the smartasses who are just itching to spread stupidity instead which I think is 100% awesome.
Annoying Christmas provides a small set of templates to choose from, then you record a video of yourself saying some really stupid shit while keeping your head relatively still, and then *voila* you’ve got a pretty weird video that you can upload directly to Annoying Christmas’ YouTube channel and share with loved ones whether they want you to or not!
Truth is, you don’t HAVE to be annoying. This app can be used for good as well as evil, so if you want to say nice things and sing Christmas carols while your eyes and mouth are stuck in a Christmas ornament or on a gift box, then by all means have at it. It’s fun! And it’s weird. And it’s potentially hilarious.
This first video below is yours truly. It’s a close approximation of the faces and noises I’d be making if I was doing the nasty with Angelina Jolie.

iTree’4′Christmas ($0,99) by iJeem Factory S.L.
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
Decorate a Christmas tree, turn on the lights, and admire it in all its glory while you listen to a nice piano rendition of Silent Night on an endless loop as snow falls gently from the night sky. There! I just described iTree’4′Christmas from head to toe.
It’s not the sexiest app I’ve ever seen, but the resulting tree is nice and I’m sooooo glad iJeem Factory made it so you can actually turn the tree’s Christmas lights on. Dragging tree decorations from their little boxes at the top of the screen can be hard at times (fat-fingered tree decorators beware), and I wish you could take in the tree, music, and animated snow without the control buttons present, but other than that iTree’4′Christmas is alright in my book. The app’s built-in screenshot button is also a nice touch in case you want to use your tree creation as a background image.

Video Squeak ($0.99) by appkruti
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I just thought of a very festive and potentially hilarious use for Video Squeak: gather your kids or coworkers or drunk friends, and use Video Squeak to make a video of them singing that Christmas song by Alvin and the Chipmunks! They can do it in their normal voices, or they can try to imitate the Chipmunks’ trademark squeakiness, and the ensuing Video Squeak-ed result will have everyone literally LOLing and you’ll be the hero of the party!
Below is a piss-poor effort on my part to show what this app does to voices with the pitch cranked up to about 80-90%. I should have made my friends sit there and tell jokes or something.

Light Her Fire-Full ($.99) by AMSVT
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I’m gonna level with y’all… I’m only reviewing this app because the screenshots looked funny! And they didn’t disappoint.
Light Her Fire is a Do-and-Don’t guide for would-be lotharios everywhere! The “Do” suggestions seem valid but they kind of have the stench of a guy who’s so whipped he’d fry his own nuggets in hot oil if the Mrs. demanded it. And the “Don’t” suggestions… comedy gold!

MagikUniverse ($0.99) by Quinn Michaels
Available on iPhone & iPod Touch
“Magic 8 Ball” apps are as old as… well, they’re as old as the App Store. Ask an inane question, shake or tap, and get a prophetic answer that the cosmos prays you won’t take seriously.
So if it’s that dumb and that simple, why bother giving MagikUniverse a try? Geez, I dunno… I guess I’m just a sucker for bright shiny objects.

Pocket Signs (free) by © 2011 Attila Sandor Gerendi
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
For some strange reason – probably because I’m a geek and a safety nut – I really wanted to try this app. And I wanted to like it. In retrospect, I’m not entirely sure what I expected an app full of safety signs to do. I’m not sure I am any farther ahead with that question now that I’ve actually tried it.

ChaCha (Free) by ChaCha Search, Inc.
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
I remember playing with an app like this a long time ago… it offered a few free answers provided by human reps and then you had to pay to ask their “experts” anything else. Thankfully ChaCha isn’t that app! But it is basically the same service: ask a question, get an answer from a real person.
ChaCha does require registration after your “trial period” expires (not sure if it’s based on time or number of questions asked), but it’s free to register and it’s free to get answers to all the stupid questions you can come up with.

Spooksfinder ($.99) by nSpire Studios
Available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad
Chances are you already know how you’re going to honor paganism this Halloween weekend, but if you don’t then Spooksfinder might be able to help! The idea here is to give you a birdseye view of all the Halloween festivities going down in your area, and if you’re hosting something yourself then you can add it to the map.
Spooksfinder seems good at finding community events so it (probably) won’t direct you to any sorority costume parties but who knows what you’ll find out there.

Photofunia (free) by Alexey Ivanov
Photofunia may be filed under Entertainment but it’s really a photo app and a pretty cool one at that! There are some great apps out there that allow you to do some impressive tricks with your photos, but they also require a little effort (like Juxtaposer).
This one, however, asks you to do next to nothing except choose your photo(s). Photofunia is a collection of over 150 photo templates that will drop your pics into everything from billboards to art galleries to magazines. It also uses facial recognition to automatically turn you into people such as a zombie, a bodybuilder, and a Carnival dancer, among others.

BuddyTV Guide: TV listings, recommendations, and remotes (free) by BuddyTV
I’m what you’d call a “special needs” TV watcher… I live in Seoul, Korea and since I’m too lazy to learn Korean I do my TV watching via a Slingbox that’s hidden somewhere in my brother’s house (we reviewed the Slingplayer app a while back). This lets me watch whatever’s on in the Chicago area even though I’m 14 time zones away, and it’s an awesome setup except for when it comes to finding out what’s on! If you think sitting on your couch and navigating a channel menu with your remote is a pain in the ass, try doing it through an internet-based IR relay from the other side of the planet. Trust me, it blows, but BuddyTV has fixed that.

Probably one of the most unique apps I’ve came across in a while, Descent is a freefall calculator able to offer “the most accurate possible representation of the time it would take to freefall to the earth’s surface and the speed you would be traveling upon impact”. Sweet.

I’m rather fond of cheesy little ‘shout a catchphrase’ apps, and there is no better way to end a Tuesday than to give out a bunch of free codes for the amusing Holy Robinator! by Little Bird Applictions.
Holy Robinator! comes with 60 wildly amusing “Holy” statements, all of them soundbites of classic Batman and Robin episodes. Ranging from “Holy contributing to the delinquency of minors!” (a personal favorite) to “Holy rats in a trap!” to “Holy schizophrenia!”, this app is chock full of giggle-out-loud sound bytes. Enjoy your Tuesday :D (Holy chocolate eclair!)
