Snuggie: Debunked, Analyzed and Worned


So overdue.

I saw this new Snuggie commercial and I must express myself.
OK, this starts off in an almost sarcastic level of happiness due to wearing a Snuggie. This could very well pass as a parody of its own product.
Why are thy waving at me?! No!!! They've broken the invisible wall. You never break the TV/audience barrie Snuggie people! Never.
Jesus, couldn't they have hired a white guy that could dance while drinking coffee and wearing a robe, er sorry-snuggie- a little better. For Christ's sake he's doing early moves from the 80s. And, it's not even clear if he's doing it because of the Snuggie or there's something really good on TV. I just think buying a Snuggie pushes you toward insanity if you are already there.
I love the oversell. Listing things you can do while wearing a Snuggiel read a book, work on your laptop, clean, etc. They forgot to mention you can do all those things in everyday clothing. Oh and you can also wear a snuggie while; looking like a member of a dangerously happy cult, while committing murder (Dexter would like it) and for those who are of passionate blood have it on at all times, you never know when your next negligent manslaughter is around the bend.
At around 0:41 tell me if you happen to see this Snuggied family while camping or hiking, you wouldn't be scared shitless some type of sacrifice or mass suicide is going down.
Side-note: Is Snuggie ahead of the curb? Is this how we all will dress in the future? Maybe, something to consider. It does look futuristic. I mean, get up and still be warm?! If you would've told me I can stay warm and do things like get up, read and drink coffee, I would've thought you were crazy.
There's a guy behind the old couple wearing snuggies in the theater who's way too happy. Everyone in this commercial is sarcastically happy. Also, if I were that guy and see two old people wear huge robes, dammit I mean snuggie, I'm leaving the theater immediately.
And I know you have to find all upside to the product you sell. But a Snuggie to a sporting event? Seriously?! That's just not completely insane but you'll definitely will be steaming hot.
Oh, similar products sell for $60? Those are expensive sheets that are used in comparison.
