« on: January 29, 2009, 05:06:53 pm »
I am sure every one has seen the comercial for what looks to me like a really ugly red robe worn backwards but some peeps seem to like

what you all think?
I personaly think that it looks like somthing you wear before they ask you to drink the kool aid

LOL- those commercials make me laugh everytime ^_^. I don't seem to have the problem with blankets like they say. I think they look kinda ugly and silly.

This reminds me. Ellen Degeneres was talking about them on her show. She put one on and was saying how it should also include a wizard hat ^_^. I love Ellen- she's the coolest lesbian on TV! Jay Leno was also making fun of them on his show once and Kevin Eubanks (the band leader) said he got one for Christmas.

I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT WITH MY FRIEND. Her brother gave someone a different brand of sleeved blanket saying "I got you a blanket with sleeves that wont make you look like you're in a cult"

You can buy a snuggie... or you can wear a robe backwards. Same thing.

I've never seen the commercial, but I'm in favour of anything that makes it easier to snuggle up and sleep anywhere you want to curl up.
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the throbbing of the bells-
Of the bells, bells, bells-
To the sobbing of the bells

I have a Snuggie, it really works. It's not supposed to look fashinable. Really, when you go to bed do you praise how good your bedsheets look?


No. I have a brown one, and it's really comfortable. I might bring one to K-con for the hotel. :3

I had no idea what a Snuggie was, so I had to go look it up. I watched the commercial on their website....boy, I haven't had a good laugh like that for a while, lol.

They look so silly, haha. I love the idea, I think it would work well for a lot of people, it just looks sooooo ridiculous. I was okay with it until it showed the one guy sitting in the chair watching tv in the bright red Kool-Aid Man snuggie, lol. It looks aweful, heh.

I can see it having a great effect for a lot of people, but is it worth the silliness?

I'm pretty sure MadTV thought up the idea long before Snuggies came along (and it was a joke!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtPtxN9kpPY&feature=related. Go to 3:23 to see what I mean, lol.

Well they definently arent for everyone, but if people didnt buy them they couldnt make commercials about them. Im sure they have like a huge fanbase where it is much colder.

I always get a kick out of the infomercials that make cutting a tomato look impossible with a regular kitchen knife... ha ha

lol, it's the law of infomercials: When demonstrating the opposing merchandise, one must turn themselves into a braindead vegetable and make use thereof look like the most difficult task imaginable. "How am I ever going to take out this garbage?!?! It's in a bag!?! I'm so flustered! Ahhh, it got all over the floor!" lol

Okay, so me and my mom saw the commercial and we're just like " ._.; "

Then, my dad jumps up and goes, "HEY, I GOT US SOME OF THOSE."

...So, now we have two red Snuggies. xD They do the job, though.
