   That blanket looks like a Bothan Senator’s costume from the Attack of the Clones.
   Is it unfair to blame infomertials for the decline of Western Civilizaton?

   I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the Snuggie makes my heart hurt.

   This claims to be a blanket that allows you to keep your arms free while enjoying the comfort of a blanket. But a real blanket keeps you warm partly because of the way your body heat gets trapped inside of it. This snuggie, then, is nothing more than a sweater-like hospital gown. It ain’t gonna work.

   I live in Las Vegas and was in one of the local casinos on the weekend–the Snuggie was the prize of the day for getting a certain amount of points on your players card, There were tons of people walking through the casino carrying these…some dummies had more than one. Talk about a non necessary invention.

   Watching that without sound is like watching an ad for some new weird cult where everybody wears purple habits.

    We already have something like that. It’s called a shirt. (By the way, is that commercial really still airing on television? How long has it been now?)

    My 5 year-old loves the commercial and seriously asked for one for her birthday. So I will probably take about 30 seconds and convert a blanket she already has into her very own Snuggie. I can’t believe people pay money for this thing.

    Jack Douglass sounds exactly like you, Eric. Weird.

    Oh my god, every time I see the Snuggie commercial I laugh and laugh. They all look like cult members with the Snuggie on, especially the old man and the family in public.

    I like the family at the Quidditch match. My friends and I have discussed the snuggies at length, and we are considering a purchase.

17. Stacy Says:

    I might purchase one for the flashlights and give the snuggie to some crazy homeless person so they can look how they feel.

    Funny stuff – SNL had this as part of a sketch last Saturday also.

    We looked at this in my business management class at BYU. Absolutely atrocious, I though, but several women in the class though they or their family members would really like them!

    My favorite part is when they are at the football game! Isn’t this just a robe you wear backwards? Here is another parody with scary cult music.

    If they embroidered the Snuggie with pictures of Jason Statham on it, I’d wear it.

    It’s not always easy for Muggles … thank goodness they can stay warm AND answer the phone at the same time now.

    I loved how the book torch seemed to make him lose his concentration.

    If the Snuggie is just a fleece hospital gown, wouldn’t your arse get cold if you wore it outside?

    If you thought that ad was funny, you should check this out:

    It’s a series of CD’s with applause on them. You are suppossed to listen to them so that you feel better about yourself.

    There’s going to be a Snuggie Pub Crawl in Chicago on March 21. Here is a Chicago Tribune story about it.
    Thanks Dave Barry!

    I still love the picture in my mind of the whole family wearing snuggies while camping. If my family and I were camping and we happened upon this group roasting meat over a fire, we’d probably start running for our lives. A tribe of zombie monk people eaters, that’s what we’d think.

    those Snuggie infomercials draw in my attention like a magnet, though i haven’t gotten the point of actually buying one yet
