Let’s get ready to RUMMMMBLE! It’s the fourth and final round of the Ugly Lamp Contest! Today the top two ugliest lamps from each of the three rounds – as voted on by you, brave reader – will compete head-to-head and bulb-to-bulb in one last showdown. Be sure to check out rounds one, two, and three if you haven’t had a chance to yet.
Lampocalypse lived up to his name as the lamp to end all lamps in round three, pulverizing the competition with 73% of the vote. But can he continue to reign supreme? Is he an even match for Lava Clown? Should they be allowed to be in a room together? That would surely rip a hole in the fabric of the universe.
Who will light the way to victory and who will burn out? There’s only one way to know.
The road to triumph starts here:
Yeah, I hope there’s a dumpster on this road.
But don’t underestimate Wishing-Well Hell. His spiky lacquered spikes are poised and ready to attack! The only thing his opponents will wish for is that they had never been born.
If you’re hearing demonic merry-go-round music, it can only mean …
The circus is in TOWN! Step right up and see who dares challenge Lava Clown to a fight. He dominated round one, but will his luck continue, or is the joke on him this time?
Driftwhat remains a mystery, which appears to be the source of his strength. Seriously, what IS THIS? Some of my favorite reader comments were: a cassaba root, a random hunk of ceramic shaped like a random hunk of ceramic, and an orc aorta, which I mistakenly read as orca aorta, and boom, I finally had the perfect name for my band.
Will he sneak his way into the championship or slither back to the primordial swamp from whence he came?
She Friend was the hands-down winner of round two, but will she be able to maintain her momentum? Or will she be relegated to the ‘friend zone?’ (Don’t say anything, but I think I caught her flirting with Lampocalypse. Or maybe that was just one of her eyelash ferns falling off. Still, they’d make a cute couple, right??) (Help me).

Don’t overlook Suitable Satan. He may be quiet, but he’s been in enough fights to know exactly how to take down his opponents. Plus, he has nothing to lose. Besides more teeth.
And finally, will Lampocalypse ride the victorious wave from round three all the way into the championship? He definitely has a leg to stand on, even if it might actually be someone else’s leg. He hopes to see his competitors cry, preferably tears of blood.

August 27, 2015 at 6:59 AMThey’re all hideous, so it was hard to choose! In the end, I didn’t choose the most disturbing (Lava Clown followed closely by Lampocaluypse), or the worse DIY craft ever (She Friend). I went with the one that I know someone, somewhere once intended the lamp to give a stylish “island vibe” to their home (but is just plain ugly!): Wish Well Hell. It was another fun group this year — thank you!!!

August 27, 2015 at 10:25 AMDrift What-She is the winner for me because I keep picturing her coming to life and killing all the other lamps. Except for Lava Clown. He would be kept alive so she could lay her eggs in his head.

August 27, 2015 at 1:57 PMHahaha! You’ve somehow made them seem even more terrifying!

August 27, 2015 at 10:25 AMI don’t think I could even MAKE something as hideous as Lampocalypse. Can you ask the winner to share where the lamp was found? It cracks me up with some of the prices you can see on these gems.

August 27, 2015 at 10:35 AMI think next year we need categories…Nightmare Inducing, Whimsy Gone Wrong, Ugliest…it is so hard to choose just one when they all have their own merits, or lack thereof. 🙂

August 27, 2015 at 11:30 AMThis was such a fun week. Thanks, Lindsey. It was hard to choose the ugliest lamp this year since they were all so hideous. However, I went with Lampocalypse because…well…gah! there are no words… even “fugly” is too weak.

August 27, 2015 at 3:03 PMQuestion – can the keeper of the photo for the driftwhat one read the tag? Does it say what it is supposed to be? (Sorry to be a stick in the mud…I am genuinely curious)

August 27, 2015 at 3:39 PMAre 4 and 6 related? With #6 being the evil twin?

August 27, 2015 at 9:19 PMI had such high hopes for my Lava Clown!! I’m glad that everyone has enjoyed him! He was being gifted in our Buy Nothing community and I knew I had to save it for you!

August 27, 2015 at 9:42 PMOh Jesus, Mary and all the blessed Saints! I’ve been travelling back from USA (to Australia) and missed all the excitement….Well, no, sitting in LAX for 10 and half bleeding fricking hours waiting for my International flight due to stuff up by United….No, sorry, I got carried away there for a moment. Jet lag. You understand? Or is it that my eyes have imploded causing a melt down of synapses disallowing any cognitive thought due to seeing the Lamps-O’-Hell? Oh, my weary naked brain, that Lampocalyspe…..my brain!!! God help me! My brain!!!!!!
