You don't fool me, Snuggie...


Ohhhhh, don't get me started. So they're pimping this...thing. Right? It starts off with a woman on a couch, under a blanket, struggling to keep the blanket covering her body and trying to read a book at the same time. Life is hard. Mind you, they have the appropriate bluish/gray gel over the screen in order to give those who don't appreciate this womans "acting-cold" talents the sense that "heeeey...it DOES look like she's cold. Her home is BLUE for God's sake!!!"


Cut away to the happy actors buried in their SNUGGIES!!! A warm fleece blanket...WITH SLEEVES!!! Look, perfect for reclining with a book and a spot of tea. Cuddling is a SNAP with a snuggie! PERFECT for dorm rooms. The ESSENTIAL item for cold days. Why go on LIVING if you don't have a SNUGGIE! AND we'll throw in SLIPPERS!


Wait. What? Why would you wear slippers inside that stupid thing? Moreover, I noticed onnnnnne tiny detail left out of the commercial and is potentially setting up their company to be in an actionable position.


Nobody is standing. In fact, they don't show any attempts at mobility from any of the actors. They're all in various reclining, relaxed postures. Perhaps hoping that through mere apathy, sloth, and willpower you someday will actually turn the Snuggie into your own fleece skintight casing.


No, I also think you wouldn't be able to walk in the dang thing. That's right. Any hopes of mobility will make you wind up like Maggie Simpson without a balloon tied around her waist.
