I don’t know about you, but there are certain things that I try and dodge every Holiday break — Family Matters marathons, my wife’s morbidly morbid cousin (who I like to call "the Angel of Death"), fruitcake — but this year, something kept creeping up on me and no matter where I turned, I couldn’t escape it. Gaze upon the horror of…the Snuggie.
Everywhere I looked, every channel I changed to, I saw that ad. And it tasks me. I can’t decide if those people are all members of some crazy-happy death cult and this is their last day before Ascension or if this spot was filmed at the winter residence of the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and they’ve got a whole host of super-comfy hate-robes on hand for family retreats.
Or if there are really people in this world who can’t navigate their way around a friggin’ blanket.
Oh, the horror…the snuggly, Snuggie horror.
Anyone else creeped out by this garment? Is there any chance that you would ever actually pay good money to wear one?
This is too funny, we were just talking about this crazy-cult-blanket at work not 10 minutes ago. I think anyone who would want this blanket is just being lazy. Ever heard of a sweat-shirt and sweat-pants.
Haha! I also had visions of KKK families on a holiday getaway when I first saw this. I overcame the Fumbling Blanket Blues when my friend sewed me up a fleece onesie. That’s right, I have FOOTIE PAJAMAS. And they’re super warm and comfy…and they have dancing monkeys on them.
My son alerted me to this wonderful product. After watching this commercial I just turned my bathrobe backward and voila, I had a Snuggie. I am so happy now:)……
I just laugh and change the channel when it comes on – and when I first saw it, my first thought was wow, do people actually pay for these things?! It’s called a blanket! LOL
My husband and I just commented last night that it makes you look like a monk or crazy cultist.
I want one! Is that weird?
I have a different brand, called the “Slanket” and its is very comfy. It makes using the computer while wearing a blanket very easy!!
Melissa, Dancing Monkey’s? Where can I get about a dozen:)?
I think the best part of that spot is the Snuggie family at the football game. I would be mortified if those were my parents cheering me on…
When i first saw this commercial, i kept waiting to hear:
“Order now and you’ll also receive this hand-crafted SKULL MASK, complete with a blessing from the DARK FATHER himself, LUCIFER.. But order now ’cause they’re going fast!..”
I am speechless
This thing makes me laugh. My husband works at Walgreens where they have all the as seen on tv stuff like this. I never saw it as a KKK robe but it sooo looks like that. I just always thought, “Hey it’s a robe that you wear backwards.” Too funny!!!
Thank you! I saw that ad last night and was terrified by it!
I totally want one. Just yesterday I was under a blanket, watching TV, my poor arm exposed while I channel surfed. A Snuggie would have been awesome right then!
I think the people wearing them look like monks. I half expected them to break out in Gregorian Chant. My husband thought it would be really funny to buy me one for Christmas. I think a lot of people had the same idea because it still hasn’t arrived! At least I bought him a real robe, not a backwards one
