Eat, Drink, and Bill Murray: The 11 Best Bill Murray Products
Forget the Dali Lama… If one man has the power to unite the world, it’s Bill Murray. He’s played scientists, mobsters, bank robbers, Garfield, professional bowlers, and perhaps his most challenging role: himself (at least 3 times). He’s shot hoops with Bugs Bunny and dicked around with Dickens. A living legend, the mere mention of his name evokes giddy joy across generations.
That’s probably why his face is plastered on so many products.
Here are 11 take-home idols of… a god. Not the god.
1. Thrill Murray: A Bill Murray Coloring Book
What better way to celebrate the career of our favorite adult child than a coloring book. Thrill Murray mixes interpretative surreal art, cinema nostalgia, and crayons for an experience that can release your inner child while you drink a whiskey.
2. Saint Bill Murray Prayer Candle
It’s a seamless transformation to paint Bill Murray as a saint. Almost as if this is his natural state, and the way he looks as a mortal is the illusion. Take a moment to remind yourself that this prayer candle from PurgatoryPenPals is just a joke. We really shouldn’t worship Carl Spackler, right? … Right?
3. Regal Throw Pillow
Now that’s more like the version of him we see in our heads. This Regal Throw Pillow Cover (pillow not included) gives the thespian the commanding respect he deserves. From Decorative Arts, who have similar products for Nicholas Cage, Christopher Walken, and more. With all those badges, he’s certainly come a long way since Stripes.
4. JP London Bill Murray Warhol Wall Sticker
Marilyn Mon-who? If you’re going to stick someone’s face 9 times on your wall, make sure it’s one you won’t get sick off. These 19.75″ x 24″ decals come ready for self-assembly in a Warhol-inspired style.
5. Bill Murray Earrings
Handmade by PistachioMoon, these earrings lend you the charm and charisma of a man known for playing fools. What guy wouldn’t fall in love with a girl sporting the star of Scrooged as an accessory. If you’re skeptical, just look at that smile!
6. Pop Zipper Pouch and Makeup Bag
If you see someone with a brown fedora and a whip you think “Indiana Jones.” Hippie hair and a bath robe, “the Dude.” Likewise, you see a red wool hat and a white beard, it’s Steve Zissou, our favorite fake documentarian. This makeup bag combines a pop aesthetic, ironic print copy, and the unmistakable visage of a well-known oceanographer.
7. Stripes Key Holder
John Winger sends you off on your day with this cheerful key holder. Mounted on a lightweight woodblock with secure nail hooks in back, these plaques are available in two different sizes: 5.5″ x 8″ (one hook) or 7.25″ x 10″ (four hooks). For an additional fee, you can even personalize it so that he calls you by name.
8. Black Bill Lighter
We don’t really understand it, but there’s something about this professional clown that just so… cool. Maybe it’s his No F*cks Given attitude, maybe it’s that we like a guy who makes us laugh, or maybe it’s just how he looks in a suit. Either way, this classy lighter borrows the dignified air of the man who, in Ed Wood, played “the weird one” in a cast full of weird ones.
9. Bill Murray 8″ x 10″ Celebrity Photo
For true Murray fans, just his face is enough to inspire awe. This 8″ x 10″ professional quality print shows the face you’ve come to love, without the fluff or zombie makeup. Hang in on your wall, put it in a heart-shaped frame, or use it to make your own original fun Bill Murray product.
10. I Heart Bill Murray Coasters
Rest your beverage on Raleigh St. Clair’s face! This set of four coasters is etched on quarter-inch cherry wood in Brooklyn, the Mecca of Murray fans. When he’s not saving the world from ghosts, he’s saving your sensitive table surface from unsightly moisture stains.
