Watch This
You can watch me, but I do not move at all,
Watch me do nothing, as I sit by a wall.
As I'm being watched, I tend to get hotter,
For heaven's sake don't put me near water!

That was a good teaser !, but it was a bit confusing but I suppose that is the hole point of being a riddle. The part about it sitting by a wall court me out because I thought it meant a wall out side. Well done !!!
what do you mean by i tend to get hotter

I thoght it was ethier a vent or a candle.
good1 it was funny
Joy, i don't know anyone who WATCHES a vent, nor a candle. Thats why i came up with television :-). And TVS will get hotter when it's on for a long period of time. (The back does.)
very clever riddle
We may get snow today here so I thought it was a fire. People do watch fires. But TV makes sense.
yes, but watching has nothing to do with it. its the fact that it's turned on that makes it hotter, thats probably what threw people, including me, off.
i think the part about it "doing nothing" is not accurate. it actually plays programs, etc. it's not like a paintbrush sitting there not doing anything.
cute. easy, but cute ^-^
very good
Good one. For some reason I was thinking only outside. Oops.
doesnt a fire work here as well?
This Was The Easiest One I've Ran Across, Is This One For New Kids?

At first I thought it had something to do with fire. But than I thought, no it can't be fire because fire moves. You had me there. I thought this one was very clever!
My television isn't near any walls. It doesn't have to be watched to get hot. I'm sorry. Ididn't like this one.
CUTE
first i thought it was either a tv or a computer. then again it was a bit easy ya'll. come on.
i loved it b/c i got that one rite... wait it sucked b/c my homies got it wrong..stupid f_____ question
cool, i thought it was a clock, or masybe a wall, but than i realized walls dont hot... do they? well anyways , cool riddle.
this was a good teaser but at first i thught it was a fire!!!
I think this one was pretty lame. At first I thought TV but then with the line Watch me do nothing, well the tv does something it shows entertainment. So I thought it was a space heater.
a radiator was another answer... but y would you watch that?? lol
that was very easy. But it was clever good job
GREAT, FANTASTIC little ryme that I will memorize for parties. Slightly misleading but still acurate enough. The line about sitting by the wall doing nothing was a great mislead but then most people now days don't remember when the TV just sat by the wall and you did other things like: laugh, sing, play cards, or just talk and communicate.
My two thoughts were radiator and lamp, but who with any sort of life besides me would sit and stare at either of those things?
Clever. I was thinking of a stone wall. You fooled me!
Not bad, I was thinking of a toaster. since the getting hot and the water parts. more people commit suicide with a toaster than a tv. but good stuff
