A Furby is THE most annoying toy EVER. It was popular about 3-5 (maybe more, I'm not good with time) years ago, and was the damnation of all. They are essentially a short, fat hunk of plastic with varying color fur (think as many variations as there are beanie babies) which talks, annoyingly (a two year old that makes weird annoying noises as it does so) can move its eyelids, its beak, and lift its body up and down. I believe it could sense both movement and sound, and often woke up in the middle of the night (coz your neice and nephew decide they'd leave it on all night) They were usually accompanied by the smell of burning rubber. This wasn't a factory error, no, it was standard on ALL models, right out of the box.
Many teenage males have taken to making youtube submissions of attacking, mangling, and especially, cooking them in their microwave.
And that's all you net to know! (*wonders if anybody got the reference*)
