Have you seen the Snuggie commercial yet? Oh, believe me, you need to! I saw it for the first time a month or so ago. And I instantly dubbed it the insta-monk!
Check it out!
OK, who buys that? Because you know somebody does. It must sell. They wouldn’t keep airing the commercial if it didn’t. So, what kind of person buys a blanket with sleeves? And how is that an invention? It’s just a very thick choir robe with a big slit up the back!
So, what would make you want to buy a Snuggie? (You get extra credit if you confess to having one!)
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an hard-on and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile dysfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual health is an substantial part of a man’s life, no question his age etc.
Who buy’s one of these, well, Brandi Wilson blogged that she wanted one, I don’t know if Pete got it for her or not, but you can see here for yourself, she’s a fan:

And I must say, I am proud of myself, I had the same thought about this snuggie as you, an insta-monk! Reading your blog must be making me smarter 🙂
why did they use O Fortuna from the Carmina Burana, I kept expecting the snuggie to strangle the people. All I thought was its gotta be a joke. And that creepy book light too. Matthew you continually make my day. Thank you.
My sister got one for Christmas (not from me!!) and yes, yes we did have a ball poking fun at it. The sleeves are ginormous! I personally love the scene where the man and lady are high-fiving each other at the football game.
How many points do I get if I confess that I had a couple beers and then, while pretending to get my arms stuck in a blanket during the commercial, actually got my arms stuck in the blanket?
It’s all fun and games until your drunk ass is trapped in an afghan.
Ok, my questions every time I watch the commericial is…
What dude would where a fleece dress to a ball game?
And the other thought I have going is
“Oh yah, I would totally let my kid sit next to a fire with a fleece dress on that is 12 sizes too big.
I am currently looking at my roommate who is sitting on the opposing couch, typing on the computer in her blue fleece snuggie. AND, she actually bought hers from a store because when she tried to order them online and by telephone they were BACKORDERED! Do not be concerned though…she still got the booklight.
i laughed out loud the first time i saw that commercial. i’m sure there are people who buy it, but i think it’s the craziest thing ever invented.
Its a robe. Its a blanket. Stop, you’re both right.
Whoever invented the Snuggie is laughing himself to the bank. I can picture my Grandma in this while she watches Wheel Of Fortune. Snuggie should sponsor that show.
my husband and i both laughed at that commercial – numerous times. then my son, who is almost 8, asked for one for Christmas – no kidding. he wants to be able to wrap up in a blankie AND play his playstation game. i canNOT buy one – i refuse, especially since it would be 15 sizes too big – but i did google ‘homemade snuggie’ and found directions, so yeah, i’m making him one – so no booklight for him!!
My boyfriend gave me a slanket (same thing, different name) for Christmas b/c I’m always snuggling up in blankets. I love it! Though I’m sure he spent way too much $ on it.
I saw this clip a few months ago and was simultaneously amused, interested and horrified at my interest. My husband constantly threatens to buy me a Snuggie. I’m cold all the time and recognize the potential warmth benefits coupled with the ability to use my arms, but good ness. I refuse to wear a giant monk bathrobe around the apartment. I’ll just turn the thermostat up a few degrees and save my dignity.
If I put my fleece robe on backwards would I get the same effect?
yes! whenever this infomercial is on, we all race to the tv to laugh!
i can’t believe they even say, “men can even wear them”, and then they cut to a couple playing backgammon on the floor wrapped up in those dumb burgundy things! i mean…yes, men CAN wear them, but clearly it’s not recommended! for anyone actually! i cannot believe they sell.
thanks for bringing this up today! a morning highlight!
they’re no more ridiculous looking than crocs in my opinion…just more established. The first time I ever saw crocs, they were on chef Mario Batali’s feet, and I couldn’t get over how crazy they looked on him.
I received one as a gift when I was a single grad student – from my parents. I was all “Thanks, because this goes so well with my coke bottle glasses…” At the time, I was single and thought it did a LOT for my figure and would definitely bring the boys a-running…
My husband laughs so hard at these commercials because he says “It’s a bathrobe you wear backwards!” and he also claims (and i have to agree) that all those crazies singing round the fire look like members of a cult. Ridiculous.
I’m glad someone else had the same first reaction. What a freak show we’re in.
my mother-in-law got everybody one for christmas this year. it was horrifying. not to mention staticky.
At Thanksgiving we had this big deal over snuggies. My Nanny really wanted one and the rest of the family thought she was crazy and the people in the commercial were part of a cult. I say, put on a sweatshirt and blanket if you are really that cold.
*shrogies*
(the word verification word…seriously, who makes up these words)
I got one for Christmas!!! I got the “kids” version, which is 5 feet tall, and at age 23 that’s my height so i do trip over it when i walk! i have the maroon colored one, inspiring my family to constantly ask what’s new at hogwarts & make other harry potter references! we also think when they all wear one, its scarily cult-ish!! haha thanks for bringing this up!
First time I saw these… I thought.. “now they bring out the special kool aid with the secret ingredient and wait for the space aliens to take them home”
I tease my 15 yr old that I will have one in time for next years football season so I can stand and cheer while the band is marching!
She thinks I embarrass her now…just wait!!!
I asked for a snuggie for Christmas! My hubby actually got me a generic version – is that possible?! I am such a dork – I just thought it would be comfy! I like to walk around the house with a blanket and now I don’t have to worry about dragging it!
Great minds think alike. 🙂
I saw the commercials and and sewed a couple snuggies for friends who live abroad. They were super easy to make and even less expensive then the add. I’ve heard rave reviews from my friend who even wants to bring her’s to work. She hasn’t yet but still loves it. They’re totally silly but everyone secretly wants to try one I think.
We stop the DVR to watch these commercials because we think they are so funny. Merlyn always makes the monk comment too. So funny! (Merlyn threatened to by me one for Christmas because I’m always cold, but it didn’t happen… I think he knew he would be the cold one if he did that!)
ironically I am watching Nacho Libre at the same time I came across your blog–I am laughing out loud here!

Snuggie would rock, you could keep your arms warm while you watch powerpuff girls and eat corn on the cob!
