Top 10 Funniest Car Novelty Sun Shades

#1 Top Pick:  Rick and Morty Spaceship Car

Rick and Morty premiered on Adult Swim on December 2, 2013, has 51 episodes as of 2021, and grossed over 29 million in video sales. The hit show is loosely based on the Back to the Future main characters Doc Brown and Marty McFly. In this twisted, dark humor, sci-fi take on Back to the Future the characters are named Rick Sanchez and his skittish grandson Morty Smith. Rick Sanchez is a burping alcoholic, clumsy mad scientist and with his nervous 14-year-old grandson sidekick they get into strange inter-dimensional space travel adventures. Yeah, sounds strange but the dark humor is clever and has been a hit for Adult Swim.

This officially licensed Car sunshade is one of our favorite picks! If you are a fan of the hit animation series “Rick and Morty” this is a sure way to show all your friends you’re a mega fan.

Pros:

• Rick and Morty navigating your car
• Cthulhu monster giving chase to our heroes
• Collapsible for easy storage
• Universal Fit

Cons:

• Novelty item and may not be as durable as dedicated sun shades
• The graphic tends to flake if exposed to excessive heat
• Only one graphic style offered

#2 Pick Archie McPhee Auto Sunshade, Car Full of Cats

Archie McPhee is a brand on Amazon that specializes in gag gifts and novelty items. They have created a hilarious car sunshade that shows 20 cats that have taken residence in your car. If you have a ‘crazy cat lady’ in your life that wants the world to know about her passion for felines, then this is the right product for you. It shows 20 cats lounging, playing with catnip, and just hanging out in your car being cats.

#3 Pick Bob’s Burgers Car Window Sun Shade Visor

Bob’s Burgers premiered on January 9, 2011, on Fox as a midseason replacement that has gone on to be hit for Fox by drawing in almost 10 million viewers in its debut. After 12 seasons and counting, we are still following Bob Belcher the patriarch and burger joint owner of Bob’s Burgers. The show revolves around the Belcher family which includes Bob and Linda and their three children Tina, Gene, and Louise. Together they run Bob’s Burgers (which only serves burgers) in a never disclosed seaside town (maybe San Francisco, or Coney Island) with a parade of quirky town folks. Bob’s burgers is about Bob expressing himself through his passion for burgers, the kids getting into all sorts of mischief – like the eldest Tina writing “erotic friend fiction”, while the ever singing mom Linda tries to keep them all together.

The show is great and we love that there is an officially licensed Bob’ Burgers car sunshade that expresses that same humor. The car sun shade shows the entire cast Bob, Linda, Tina, Gene, and Louise in the back of a food truck. Gene and Louse are holding a sign that reads, “Not our Parents HELP!!” We love the quirky humor!

• The Belcher Family driving your food truck

• The graphic tends to droop if exposed to excessive heat

#2 BONUS PICK Ontel Brella Shield

We have never heard of a car windshield sunshade umbrella, to be honest. So we were intrigued and bought one to see if they lived up to the hype. We were impressed with how much easier this product was to set up than traditional car sun shades. It’s pretty much a very large umbrella and is operated just like an umbrella. You just pop it open and fit it into your windshield. The umbrella provides your car’s dash with UV protection and is super easy to store in your car door.

Some users report not being to fit the umbrella under the rearview mirror. The umbrella fits over the rearview mirror and will not fit under most rearview mirrors. Hope this advice helps.

• Sets up very quickly
• Universal fit for most cars and SUV’s

• Some users have fitment issues. This product goes over the mirror. Not under.
