CES, known formerly as the Consumer Electronics Show, stands out as the premier technology exhibition of the year. It is an essential venue that lays the groundwork for innovative devices we can expect in the upcoming months. Amidst a range of flying drones, oddly charming robots, and gadgets featuring mesmerizing flexible displays, there exists a medley of quirky elements that contribute to CES’s unique identity. To showcase some of the amusing, outrageous, and occasionally heartwarming moments from this year’s event, we present our unofficial Dumb Fun Awards for CES 2025.

The Komatsu PC01E-2 resembles a toy from a playground designed for kids; however, it serves real-world purposes and boasts an undeniable charm. You might find yourself wanting to give its tiny bucket a playful squeeze! This compact excavator is engineered to operate in confined spaces; it’s even small enough to fit inside most elevators—ideal for those unexpected instances when digging work needs executing on rooftops.

While maintaining hope around emerging technologies is important, skepticism brews regarding Faraday Future’s latest offering—the FX EV line—a company that had previously produced fewer than 20 automobiles since its concept car debut in 2016. Despite their leader rewarding himself with pay raises amid production setbacks rooted in their promise-laden announcements at previous events, CES 2025 finds them showcasing vehicles concealed under camouflage rather than confident exteriors—an indicator they’re not quite ready for consumer reveal just yet.

This enchanting robot wasn’t initially meant to steal attention but earned accolades nonetheless with its simple mission—to wrap itself around your arm and beam cuteness wherever it goes. With every soft glance directed at passersby while you saunter about together like best pals grabbing ice cream cones on a sunny day is enough reason why I’d do anything necessary to protect this delightful creation!
