Who buys this crap? It’s hard to believe that this is an actual product.
“Hey! Try on this new robe I made….No you tool, you put it on backwar….oh…my…god– I’m gonna be rich.”
And yes, I realize “crap” is subjective 🙂
Here is the Snuggie website: https://www.getsnuggie.com
In any case. Here’s a great parody I found that puts it all together:
Look like a cult at all your favorite out door activities!
finally somebody says it….
And can you believe it is a rip-off of the Snaklet???
That was awesome. Oh, and my cousin has a snuggie.
“Look Ted, all them nice folks from the monastery have come down to cheer the guys on the baseball team!”
“I see them Bill, try not to stare, you’re embarrassing me. They’se just some of them Christians trying to mind their own business, don’t get them started.”
All joking aside, I’m a Christian and I wouldn’t get caught dead wearing one of these things. Looks like a choir robe or something the Spanish Inquisition would wear.
THATS REALLY FUNNY!
HAHAHA! this product has been the topic of conversation in my life a lot lately…because it is so ridiculous. I hate Snuggies.
http://www.theslanket.com/ knows success…
I heart the snuggie so F-Off
i love this video! the snuggie commercial is hilarious
Yeah these people think anyone will buy anything. Then again I don’t buy stuff from tv at all. This is one of the laziest attitude ones I’ve seen yet!
I saw this post on the front page and had to reply.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING WHEN I SAW IT.
You make anything out of that stupid material and people buy it like crazy.
Heh. I can’t watch the video currently because I’m in my weblog class. The commercials are insane. I was always told to just go grab a sweater.
ROFLMAO Yea…my thoughts exactly.
Snuggies are amazing… I found out yesterday Walgreens sells them for $14.99 each. 0_o
Hi Mike–
Us three gals at “She’s not from Yorkshire” completely agree… and have posted about living in Britain as an American. What does that have to do with your snuggie post? We remember our childhood with these hilarious advertising legends too!! Come have a look and join the fun…
http://shesnotfromyorkshire.com/2008/12/24/american-advertising-the-legends/#comments
LMAO, I totally want a snuggie even more now!
Actually @you_are_an_idiot it IS a real product https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next?tag=ED|SM|GO|TM|
I want one 😀
I guess wearing clothes or a coat in winter is just unheard of??
The old dude in the commercial looks like the pope!
Oh, and I think one of the girls I work with ordered one. Unbelievable!
i think the snuggie is awesome!
…but then again i pass new england winters swaddled in my fleece blanket in hibernation.
but anyone who does the same will agree how cold it is to mobilize your arms.
“Wizard!”
I agree with D 😀 This thing will make you like WORSE than Tom Cruise (his cult doesn’t even have robes like this) 😛
Check this out on ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Weekend/story?id=6716994&page=1
bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
😀
that was #%^*&ing priceless.
my friend bought a snuggie.
that makes me laugh even more.
;D
Snuggies make the wearer look like a Jedi, sans light saber.
I saw the commercial for it, and the family at the “ball game” or whatever looks like a fucking cult. Seriously!
I saw this on the WordPress front page, too, and of course I was intrigued, because we’ve been making fun of the Snuggie here at my house for the last couple months. This is a great video; thanks for posting it! And there’s no way that middle color is “sage green,” as they say it is in the commercial!
Great video! It was really funny, I had a great time! Thanks for posting!
Lost-Wishes
psst! windows computers are awesome!
I have one, and am not afraid to use it. Actually, those comercials are full of crap, though it does make a good blanket.
Also, I bought aquaglobes, another piece of crap, they drowned your plant and leave you with mud.
LMAO! My thoughts exactly, but one of my best friends wants to buy one. She’s a sucker for retarded crap though.
I want to stab the TV with one of my knitting needles whenever this infomercial comes on.
It is rather entertaining, though :].
I never knew that blankets can slip and side – trapping your hands inside.
I know!!! I saw the commercial w/ my sister and was just like “what the crap?” Maybe if they put in one of those blanket heaters, sure.
Okay, now I just saw the video…. Oh my gosh, I love it!!!!
its creepys

My mom bought both of my grandmothers a snuggie for Christmas and they absolutely love them! I know that look incredibly stupid they are extremely comfortable!
Those snuggies look filthy 😉
Tremendous parody. Here’s another reason I don’t want a Snuggie … up north, a “snuggie” is the same thing as a “wedgie” down south! LOL
Every time I see this commercial I roll my eyes. Love the spoof.
I agree with everyone who thinks the snuggie is the dumbest thing they’ve ever seen. My family has also been joking about it for months. However, this video just tops it all right off making us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
So true. I nearly died when I saw this commercial the first time. Now I am obsessed with it. Who would wear this and outside? The family looks like cult members.
Frank
This is one of the stupidest products. It just proves that anyone with enough imagination for stupidity, can become a millionaire. I have noticed it ever since I heard about it. Just put your bathrobe on backwards to get the same product.
Hahaha.
The sad part is I might have actually bought one if I didn’t research ahead of time and find out its a total ripoff!
i want one. snuggie me!
oh my god, i wanted a snuggie! but this is too funny!
This is the ultimate in winter cult fashions. Your not trully a cult unless your cught dead in in a snuggie!!
Thats because Americans are stupid consumers that want anything they see on TV…YAY!!!!
[…] Full Slate Before I dig any further, I want to address a post I found here on WordPress about the Snuggie. Mike, the author, wants to know “Who buys this crap?!? It’s hard to believe that this is […]
That’s funny! I get emails about that stupid thing in my email a million times a day. I always wonder who buys that stuff too!
It was like 50 out one day & a kid that goes to my school wore a snuggie to school. People kept asking him if he was wearing a wizard cloak. The thing is ridiculous! It reminds me of when I was a little kid & would put my dad’s bath robe on backwards on cold mornings. And to think..People actually spend money on that crap lol.
But their tagline rhymes. RHYMES!
…this is idiotic.
LOL that is hilarious!

This is the funniest thing ever!!! hahaha! AMAZING!!
Isn’t it the same as wearing a bathrobe backwards??? I don’t get it.
There’s something about the way they sell stuff on TV. The stuff moves. Imagine that thing on a shelf in a big box store (such as Bed Bath & Beyond) competing for buyers’ attention and dollars. It’d be a flop the first month.
But on TV …? Me, I buy cashmere and rich wools at thrift stores and sleep and lounge in that. Wore layers of cashmere and wool at #inaug09. Didn’t see a soul in a Snuggie there.
I about died laughing the first time I saw this commercial!
Oh My God! That is so freaking funny! I can’t believe 3 million people bought that! It’s a rip-off. My friend got them for Christmas and she couldn’t figure out how to put the “awesome” snuggie on!!! L.O.L.F.E.!!!!!!!!
What I wanna know is how this blog can be so popular?
…wow.
Is that all people can make up nowadays?
Haha wow- that is amazing 🙂
i’m glad someone blogged about it…. my friends and I actually saw one at Bed, Bath and Beyond and tried them on , we couldn’t stop laughing. How about PUT ON A SWEATER or Make the temp warmer?
Doesn’t the old guy in the commercial look like the Hale Bopp cult guy?
Remember, about 10 years ago, this whacko cult in San Diego – where the men all had their testicles cut off in Mexico, and they all believed that a comet was going to come rescue them? They all killed themselves the day that comet came (and, of course, the comet didn’t save them – it’s a COMET for God’s sake!)
Well, that dude in the commercial looks just like that guy – especially the whole sleeved blanket-robe thing!
Thank you so much for the wonderful laugh…..really really funny!
Bahaha. Snuggies are made of fail.
I can’t stop laughing everytime that I see this product advertised. Its gotta be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen… worse yet…. PEOPLE WILL BUY IT!
What’s funny is that my mother recently got one of these for Christmas. She’d never seen the ads before and upon seeing one told us about it the next day. Pretty funny.
Although I think their hearts were in the right place, the execution of it failed horribly.
my God. it’s like we share a brain.
“Death to Snuggies. Death to Stupidity” at http://www.karamcmanus.wordpress.com
It rocks, especially cycling on a cold night! Word
That was hilarious!
those things are so putrid that I am going to buy like 5-10 of them, paint them all black, and then we will join in a circle–it’ll be just like a cult! HaH
they do look warm though really…~
i feel like this is how the sweater was invented, and really we’re just taking two steps backward.
I cringe and then laugh every time I see the Snuggie commercial. Even the name is atrocious. The Snuggie and its worthlessness have been the source of much discussion with my family and friends.
I love how the fireplace scene with them around it they look like a cult. i would love to see someone actually wearing one of those. i would die.
This post refreshed my memory as to how awesome blogging can be!
hilarious!
hahah this is the funniest thing everr! my pals n i were just talkin about that n how we didnt know anyone who would waste their money on a blanket hahaha

Ah, you must be a nub who doesn’t actually have to pay their own heating bill. It’s ugly, but if you’re keeping the heat down low ’cause you can’t afford high energy costs, more power to the person actually smart enough to put on more clothes.
Every time I think of the Snuggie, I can’t stop laughing. If I see someone with it on, it’s a wrap, lol.
They looked like freakin’ spellcasters when they were sitting around that campfire. And other people looked really annoyed in the bleacher scene.
The parody was hilarious.
This garbage is merely riding the even more comfortable tails of the Cuddle Wrap.
Great parody! Sums it up nicely!
Here’s my own take on The Snuggie: http://holographicmeatloaf.com/2008/11/28/holy-hell-wtf-is-that/
I love the scene where the entire family is sporting the “Snuggie” at a sporting event. The Snuggie is so effective – it keeps you warm when you high-five one another! Score!
I hate this infomercial; looks like they’re all in a cult.
its the most ridiculous thing out there…why not just wear a sweater? it looks like a backwards robe!
Several of my dorm mates bought those, but mostly on a lark I think.
Sweet! The three degrees of separation strike again! I log into my WordPress, see this blog pop up on my opening page…click the link… and there’s the parody my former Forensics (Speech and Debate) student created. It was actually aired very briefly on Good Morning America. 🙂 He’s the one in the handcuffs, on the toilet, etc.
My feelings are the same. Who is their right mind would buy this?
Oh my seeing one of those in the 40C /104F heat of an Australian summers day kind of makes my skin crawl but that video is a crack up (laugh). Thank you 🙂
[…] Prussing. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. The impetus for the post, however, was this post that made the front page at WordPress.com. Go there and watch the parody video they posted from […]
hey family! Let’s wear our snuggied to our sons soccer game in public and watch as people watch us like we’re insane whilst embarrassing our son! Yay!
These things are like crocs. You laugh at them till you try them, then realise they’re pretty practical. But you should NEVER EVER WEAR THEM OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
I bought a slanket (predates the snuggy) and it’s pretty great, but I cannot imagine anyone taking it away from the couch.
If they are going to market the “backless” robe as a new and innovative product, then they might as well go ahead and add a damn cupholder to the front of it. And if they added a pocket to hold the remote, you pretty much would never need to use your hands while on the couch ever again.
Seriously, inventors need to stop half-assing it when it comes to making products for lazy people…
When I was a kid, my mom had a “snugsack”, which was pretty much just a sleeping bag you could walk around in. Hilarious.
Lol. Hold a baby. Oh no, in a regular blanket I used to drop my baby, but not anymore, not with snuggies.
Ha ha ha! The snuggie snacklet! It sounds like a furry chip! k k k k k !
snuggies are ridiculous.
Hahahaha. Yes, the snuggieeeee! Everybody loves to hate it. Man, it’s so lame.
O.M.G…..I haven’t laughed that hard in much too long. Great video, that shit was hilarious!
Hmmm. I can see my wife liking the idea of one of these. Should I be worried?
Haven’t these people heard of housecoats? Yes, they’re frumpy and old-fashioned. But in addition to being warm, cozy, and roomy like the Snuggie… they’re also *closed down the back*. So when you go to the kitchen for a snack (as shown in the original ad), your back and bum aren’t in the breeze. You still look like a cult member, but you’re toasty warm all over. Housecoats are a heck of a lot cheaper and are available in lots more colors too. Try your local department store and see!
they just look extremely uncomfortable!!
I am mad at the person who made the snuggie writing. I made a post that said NO INAPPROPRIATE things on youtube should be on youtube. So you could of kept that vidoe on youtube. Never mind thats appropriate. I just want to tell you that who will buy that. Me and my cousins saw that and we thought who would ware that a pig. My brother thinks it’s funny. Ha ha i’t is not funny. You better come up with somthing better.
It’s a monk’s robe! It’s a cult robe! It’s like the robes the little people in “Space Nuts” wore! It’s a backward robe! …next up, backward shoes so you never get a blister on your achilles! Backward pants so you never embarass yourself when you come out of the bathroom! Backward speaking so you sound like…….
my assistant manager at work wants one – to be even lazier on the couch
apparently this isn’t a novelty – there used to be a “slanket”
http://www.theslanket.com
OMG why don’t they have these in the UK!?!?!?!?!?
Maybe I could import them…..I have found my true calling
[…] And thus spoke… err… someone called Mike. […]
Finally, a product for people who find blankets too complicated to use!
The commercial cracks me up – I love how the people appear to be absoultely baffled by the regular non-snuggie blankets. Thank god for backward robes, right? 🙂
Is it wrong that I have one and I love it? My aunt gave me a blanket in 2007 that is pretty much like a snuggie (before it was called the snuggie) and I used it EVERY NIGHT in 2008. I loved it so much I made my own replica and gave it to my grandma for christmas. now she uses it every night, too…. oh, you non-believers!
I just HAD to join the ranks – who knew that distaste for the snuggie could ever result in such community building?
It is the most rediculous product ever and when I saw the infomercial a few months ago I laughed out loud and thought of the end of Billy Madison. To whomever invented the snuggie I say: “We are all actually dumber for having heard your answer [to cold? laziness? not sure what the snuggie answers]. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
What is incredibly funny about this–I just happen to see your blog on the WordPress homepage when I logged in.
As I was driving this morning, the host of the morning show on WFAN in NYC was talking about the Snuggie–and the product he claims it was ripped from the Slanket–and how good they both were.
The guys partner–former NFL QB Boomer Esiason basicallly said it was good for the dogs. Go figure.
LOL! And it’s a cat fur magnet. My hubby says he wants one and I tell him it ain’t happening.
http://abouttothunder.wordpress.com/
Such a ripoff of the Slanket! Remember, the sleeved blanket? No? Well then, I feel stupid…
Then I looked at someone wearing a snuggie, and I felt less stupid. YAY SNUGGIES!
Quite impressive. I think you had a little over 10,000 hits yesterday and now you are nearing 20,000 hits. It is so strange what attracts us to each others sites.
Funny video. I added it to a post on my site and I think I got about 20 hits with it. Woo hoo 😉
soooo damn…true!! made me laugh! 😀
Thanks! Hilarious. Snuggie is the new salad shooter – short hand for useless crap!
First time I saw it my husband and I said they should show grandpa on the toilet.
Scene one – blanky drops in.
Scene two – grandpa – hands free clutching a wad of toilet paper!
Tag line: You can even Sh*t in the WTF blanket!
Nicely done…..

I love this blog and I love the idea of a shamwomforter? What do YOU think?
That was great!!
This is American creativity at it’s finest.
So many people bought the Snuggie that we have now partnered up with another televised product…the Scamwow!
Presenting…theSNUGWOW…a fashion impaired robe that keeps you so warm that, when you sweat profusely, it absorbs all your stink juices! Isn’t that amazing folks?
But wait, that’s not all! Now, for a limited time only, you can buy the Snuggie Track Suit, made in San Diego by Heaven’s Gate enterprises. You TOO can look like AND be like a Heaven’s Gate cult member! Wear your Snuggie robe or trakc suit while trying the new SNIPWOW self-eunuchization kit! It slices, it dices!
I thought I was the only one who thought they looked like a cult gone public. Especially the burgundy.

remember to wear a coat over it.
The snugggie is for lozers.
lolZ
I just hope you don’t have to drink the “Hi-C” or “Kool-Aid” if you purchase it.
The real commercial makes me laugh every time it comes on. This parody was even better!
I don’t see what the bid deal is. I understand dissing the Magic Bullet, or the Oxy guy, but this is just a blanket that you can wear.
lol if u brought that 2 a football game everybody would laugh at you !!!! thats also a cheesy show
ahahaha! the slanket is the one that snuggies are cheaper than!
I was going to blog about this. Glad you beat me to it. =)
Very funny! Though I do have to say that my 81-year-old grandmother enjoys hers since my cheap-ass Aunt and Uncle that live with her refuse to turn the heat up.
I’m buying one for my manager ;-). It’s so cold at work
haha! I received two for Christmas. And yup, I use them. It’s a backward robe. It’s not really a blanket. It kinda sucks.
Excellent blog! You beat me to it! 😉
i ❤ snuggies! you can get them really cheap if you look around online 🙂
I ask Santa for one but he didn’t give me it (ha ha ah)
Very nice post! Thank you!
I want to give one as a present just to see their face….but that means I would have to buy it?!!
That’s hilarious! My coworkers and I always talk about how we are getting some. And you even get a free book light with it 🙂 Why didn’t I think of it! I could be rich and somewhere warm-instead of at a desk in cold ass Ohio!
Could not agree with you more.
[…] To close, I give you another post on adult-type wrappings, a.k.a the Snuggie. […]
the person who made this is stupid. i hate you!!!!!!!!!thank you:(
my five year old daughter likes snuggies and tries to convince me that we “need them” when because its cold…
lol
Fan-bloody-tastic! lol!
I think Jay Leno said it best: it’s basically the exact opposite of lingerie.
HAHAHAHH that was WTFantastic!
ROFL!!!!
I love the campfire scene, all they need are cups of Kool-aid – then they would really look like a cult

I plead guilty of buying these. It was supposed to be a christmas present. It arrived today Jan 27th. I guess I should have expected that everything on TV takes 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.
Anyway, my main issue was that I also ordered a blanket for my son that had doggies on it. What they sent was another snuggie.
I should have researched the company first.. STAY AWAY from them. Not worth the money.
Snuggie = Rip Off of Slanket, Slanket = Rip Off of Freedom Blanket
Its insane that e diffrent companies have tried to sell this same exact thing. Add them all up and its probably like 6 million snuggie blankets sold.
a beautiful thing about the Snuggie is that anyone can buy one in lieu of having that special someone to snuggle them back
