Animal Crossing is the series of cute, quirky games that allows you to customize your home and make friends with your animal neighbors. You can choose from hundreds of items to decorate your house - as long as you can obtain them, that is.
Most players spend dozens of in-game hours hoping to complete their furniture sets. As fun as it is to gather all the items in the games, there are a few that leave us scratching our heads. Below we have collected the ten weirdest items you can gather in the Animal Crossing series. From strange beds to a literal heap of money, we aren't sure how these are good decorations.
10 Pile of Cash
Unless you're looking to recreate the home of Scrooge McDuck, we aren't sure why you would want to decorate your home with literal piles of clunky-looking money. Even weirder, the economy in Animal Crossing uses bells, not wads of cash, so we can only wonder where Tom Nook got ahold of this item. Even stranger still, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp lets you craft this item.
Either way, the cost of this item is over 10,000 Bells, so we are just going to assume that the cash in the pile is worth the exact same amount of money.
9 Barbeque Bed
We are going to be honest, the thought of having a barbeque bed in a word full of intelligent pigs, cows, and birds seems a little dark. Most players have likely not come across this strange item as it was part of a 7-Eleven event in Japan. Strangely enough, the rest of the items from this event are all normal items you would expect to find in one of the gas stations.
We can't help but wonder why the creative design team wanted to make an item to cook the inhabitants of the game while they sleep. Maybe the Animal Crossing world is a strange type of farm?
8 Carriage
You can turn your home into everything from a construction zone to an inside backyard. While most of these items are more subtle and small, the carriage is not. No matter what delusions the residents of Animal Crossing may have, someone should probably stop them from shoving full-size carriages in their homes.
To top it off, there are similar vehicles you can do the same with, like cars. If you're at the point where you are planning to use your vehicle for decoration, you should probably just get a fancy garage.
7 Hologram Machine
We aren't sure whether the Animal Crossing world is aware of Cortana or not, but the hologram machine feels a bit out of place. The world of Animal Crossing seems to be a bit confused about technology. They seem to still use trains and records, two pieces of outdated technology. It's completely a mystery how this world managed to make a working hologram machine.
Even stranger, if you look at the hologram projected, it seems to be a humanoid lady with normal proportions. Compared to the tiny characters of Animal Crossing, the lady is pretty out of place.
6 Iceberg
First off, how did these tiny animals manage to make an iceberg turn pocket sized? Second, how are they managing to keep it fully frozen while acting like it's the perfect temperature for t-shirts? We aren't sure what exactly you do with an iceberg, but if you want one, it is available to decorate your house with.
The item is even exclusive, and you must use your Happy Home Designer save in order to unlock it. That's right; an iceberg is your special reward for playing multiple games in the franchise.
5 Portable Toilet
In Animal Crossing, you are able to buy a normal toilet to create a bathroom with. We understand why you need to have space for private matters in your home. What we aren't sure of though is why you would ever want to use a porta-potty in your own home. No matter how you feel about it, though, you can buy and use the portable toilet to decorate your house.
Just remember that there is probably no good way to empty the toilet without making a complete wreck of your carpet.
4 Sloppy TV
Most players play for dozens of hours trying to create a neat matching space that reflects their individual style. We aren't sure who the sloppy TV was designed for, though. True to its name, this appliance looks like it came from someone who doesn't care where they throw their clothes. The screen is even partially blocked, making it a horrible device to stream the new Witcher series on.
Worst of all, there is a whole sloppy set of items that just make you look like you don't clean your room.
3 Trash Bags
If you're really looking to make visitors stay away from your house, then just fill it with a ton of trash. This item is literally two small trash bags that are plump with waste and neatly tied up. We are far too aware of bad fishing trips in which you easily collect trash in the Animal Crossing world, but why would you want to store it in your home?
At least the cost of this item is 150 bells, which in all honesty, still seems a bit high. This just proves that Tom Nook can get away with marketing just about anything.
2 Cat Tower
Once again, we are baffled by an item that is just strange in a world where the animals are humanoid. The cat tower is an item that can be placed in your home but isn't big enough for your feline visitors to crawl into. We can only guess that this means there is a hierarchy of cats somewhere in the Animal Crossing world that contains companion animals.
Until the developers let us start taming our neighbors, though, this is a piece of furniture that will continue to make no sense in this universe.
1 Diver Dan
Honestly, Diver Dan has been creepy since he was introduced to the series. He is a rare item that can be purchased from the Island gift shop for 60 medals. The item has no backstory or information to explain why the dive suit isn't the size a villager would be able to fit into.
Something or someone must also be in this suit to make it stand upright like it is, we just can't help but wonder what horrors are inside of this divers suit. Items like this make us wonder why there are so few humans in this series.
