think it's a lame product idea? well then, here's a semi-parody of it.

I dunno, the infomercial seems almost fake, but nope it's a real product, creepy appearance notwithstanding. (poisoned Kool-Aid not included.)

funniest YT comment ever (say it out loud for extra funny)...

What the ass is this @%&#?
No.

...although, too bad these guys didn't come with a funnier name

Imagine a product that's just like a regular dressing gown only you wear it backwards and it's a little longer than usual. There you go, you now have a Snuggie/Slanket.

It's a good enough and simple enough idea. I actually know someone who owns one of these. She likes it. But yes, silly product silly advertising, a billion YT parody videos.

I'm not sure what it is about the snuggie that makes me hate it.. but I do. I hate it.

it's like The Blanket Of Creepiness.

or The Blanket That Won't Leave You Alone.

or The Blanket For Adults Who Want To Feel Like Kids Again.

or What Exactly Are You Hiding Underneath That Blanket, That You Won't Remove It When You Go Make Yourself Popcorn Or Whatever Snack For Which You Are Presently In The Mood.

or, as YT commenter "rainfordmetallica" said 21 minutes ago:
They look like @%&#ing cultists

actually, take your pick of annoyances the mini-infomercial has to offer your rational mind...

The best and worst bit is the implication that you should wear this item to sporting events.

In public. Look at them. They look like colour coded mental patients.

Cracks me up every time

But oh-so-touchable!

I was just waiting for that creepy "Snuggles" teddy bear with the vacuous grin and those empty, soulless eyes, to come running into one of the scenes...

I thought the worst part was the "... similar products sell for ..." part implying someone out there wants this bad enough that there are variations of it and they are more expensive.

Cult robes was my first thought when the ad started...

A parody of the Snuggie's side effects: Snuggies, warm, comfortable, and deadly. NSFW
