Annoying Clocks
This digital alarm clock launches a rotor into the air that flies around the room as the alarm sounds, hovering up to 9′ in the air, and will not cease ringing until the rotor is returned to the alarm clock base.
This means that there’s no snooze button and you have to get up and fetch the propeller.
Or how about a personal favorite:
The Runaway Alarm Clock.
This is the alarm clock that rolls away and hides when you hit its snooze button, and it continues to emit a random pattern of beeps and flashes, encouraging drowsy sleepers to seek it out in order to shut it off. It is built from shatter-resistant ABS and has two rubber wheels that allow it to roll off your nightstand from a height of 2′ when it sounds its alarm.
Both of these are available from Hammacher Schlemmer

Don’t forget about
The Tantrum Throwing Alarm Clock: This is the alarm clock that pounds its fists and opens its mouth while “shouting” its alarm. As your selected wake-up time approaches to within five minutes, its feet and body will begin to glow, and when the alarm sounds, it begins tapping its arms lightly, but if you are dilatory in touching its snooze sensor by more than one minute, it launches into its full tantrum routine.
