Comedy... Check. Sci-Fi... Check. Pop culture references... Check.
What's not to love about Red Dwarf? There are holograms that crash and display the Spinning Beach Ball of Death in their eyes. Adventures include traveling backwards in time and altering history just to get a curry. Obsessive talking toasters. Robots undergo midlife crises and there’s a senile computer to boot.
Red Dwarf holds its place as one of the longest-running Sci-Fi and comedy series. Even the esteemed Patrick Stewart is a fan, though he did consider suing them for a hot minute.
As a big fan of Red Dwarf and a Red Dwarf merchandise hoarder, it was a no-brainer to make it the subject of my first blog post. From the day it first aired to today, I've been actively following it. One can only hope that the next season is just around the corner...
Red Dwarf merchandise is hard to come by, so let me ease some pain for the fans out there.
Just a word of advice: If you're looking to gift someone a Red Dwarf item, double-check that they're not a SMEEEE...
Kryten Smeg : Red Dwarf T-Shirt
The essence of Red Dwarf can be captured in one word: smeg.
The term smeg serves as a versatile, futuristic slang word, coined specifically for the show. It's the staple swear word in the series, and it's used to extenuation, yet it's always smegging hilarious.
Probably the funniest use is having Kryten (the well behaved android), trying to use it against Rimmer (the regular smeghead of the crew) fighting against its program.
This Red Dwarf Kryten Smeg is a tribute to that moment, one that every Red Dwarf fan can recognize at first glance.
Red Dwarf Starbugs Coffee Mug
The Starbug is the Red Dwarf shuttlecraft used by the crew of the Red Dwarf for planetary exploration, short-range missions, and other purposes.
Starbug is often depicted as being somewhat old and battered, but it is beloved by the characters and has been central to many episodes and storylines.
Would You Like Some Toast? Red Dwarf T-shirt.
Howdy Doodily-Dooooo!
OK, this is the piece of Red Dwarf merchandise I adore the most, although I might be a bit biased because Talky Toaster is my favorite recurring character in the series.
Talky Toaster is an insatiable toaster that urges you to eat as many pieces of toast as possible, often driving its owner, Dave, to insanity.
As the ultimate prank, gift your friend the same shirt three or four times. Pack them in separate gift wrappings and prepare for some laughter.
