Nothing Butt the Best

CritBuns

From JV basketball (coach never put you in) to the company bowling league (you’re the worst player’s second alternate), your team spirit has spent more hours on the sidelines than in the action.

So make the inevitable bench time easier with CritBuns, a butt-shaped foam device designed to make taking a seat (just about anywhere) more comfortable.

It’s the brainchild of yet another brilliant Rhode Island School of Design grad named Joe Gebbia, who realized his tush was worn out from sitting through a particularly long art critique (hence the “crit” portion of the name). After seeing the charcoal marks left on his and others’ bums during the class, he created the shape and form of the cushion.

It works anywhere (concerts, stools, sidelines). And now that your rear’s properly attended to, your game face can always be at the ready.

Which is especially helpful when you’ve got to come from behind.
