Designer Snuggie: The Blanket with Sleeves Gets Even Stupider!
March 9th, 2009 by Paul Lucas
I really can’t believe what I’m going to write about is for real, but I swear I’m not making this up. You’ve all seen the endless commercials for the Snuggie, that stupid fleece “blanket with sleeves.” Well, if you thought the Snuggie was a great idea but didn’t want to look like an unfashionable rube by wearing one, now there is a product for you!
The Designer Snuggie is just like the original Snuggie but it comes in three “stylish” “fashion prints”: Zebra, Leopard, and Camel. Once again, this is a real product available at www.DesignerSnuggie.com. Here is the commercial:
So now instead of looking like a monk or cult member, you can look like you’ve just slaughtered a zebra, leopard, or camel and sewn its hide into a blanket with sleeves. Stylish indeed!
One difference between this commercial and the original Snuggie commercial is that they don’t show anyone wearing the Designer Snuggie outdoors. That is probably for safety reasons: If you wear the zebra pattern Snuggie in the Serengeti you may soon find yourself surrounded by a pack of hungry hyenas.
In related news, the makers of Snuggie have also come out with the Snugglette designed for children. So now you can help your kids get used to having the crap beat out of them at a young age.
I have noticed in these ads everyone who wears a snuggie also reads a nameless red or blue book. i don’t think it’s a stretch to assume this book is the cult’s blueprints for a toasty warm world domination

They should bundle a designer snuggie with a BeDazzler to make it extra glamorous for a night out on the town.

Last week on the Jimmy Fallon show he had the entire audience (plus himself and guest Tracy Morgan) wear SNUGGIES! There was one dude in the audience who refused to put his on and Tracy Morgan CALLED HIM OUT! Sir, you cannot be the only person in this room who did not humiliate himself. Now put your blue Snuggie on!!!!

I would have loved to see Al Bundy wear it.

#1InfomercialFan – All I can say to your suggestion is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I do have one question/thought for everyone to ponder (esp since misery loves company…it really does). How, exactly, do these things close in the back? I have, unfortunately, envisioned them being worn in natural, ‘earthy’, hospital “style” by the 40 to 100+ year old age group of balding round little men and women and had to go burn out my eyes. Thanks, Snuggie Man!
