Sep 15 2008The Snuggie: ZOMG, A Blanket With Sleeves!

mmmm.... skymall... it's a good thing (martha stewart)

It needs star wars graphics to match my bedding

oh yeah, i remember this from a couple years back...it's called a ROBE.

They all look like acolytes of the Cult of Snuggie. I want in!

My first thought it was a jedi robe...or sith if you like the red one. Three nerds could duel each other wearing the three color. They need to get George on board for cross marketing

Are you the type of person that asks for ice-cubes in your milk?
Are you the type of person that bitches about someone smoking outdoors more than 100 feet away from you?
Are you so whiney that your blanket needs sleeves?
If so, we have the perfect product for you!

Yensid's beard!

IT DOES EXIST!

What a f***ing rip-off!!!! I liked it better when it was called the Slanket!

1. The dude with the laptop is WAY to happy for this commercial.

2. I'd bone the chick at 1:07.

lol - cuddley wizzards! :-)

Do they have bulk pricing for cults?

This si the most shit thing ever, I wonder how people actually get away with this...

These are not the losers you're looking for.

Who the f*** would wear this to a goddamn soccer game...

Sweet! whos up for some kool-aid, new sneakers and hopefully hitching a ride on a passing comet. Weeeeeeee!

Free blanket with the purchase of a book light.

I kinda want to rip into this product, but really the GW said it in the article...."Snuggie -- you're just a f***ing robe."

lmao join the snuggie cult.... the snuggie cult....

we're always warm..............

the great snuggie always keeps us warm............

THEY ALL LOOK LIKE F***ING MONKS!

D:

Better headline...
The Snuggie: ZOMG, A Total Rip Off Of The Slanket!!!

@ 20 Awesomeology: YOU'RE a Slanket!!!

@20 i was gonna post that same thing

It is half pope robe have wizards cloak with those sleeves....I don't think my boyfriend and I have enjoyed an infomercial as much as we did this one....i love the part they are at the game...and the little kid raises her arms and gets caught up in the snuggie....we want to get it just to take pics and send around....thoroughly am disappointed that this person is going to be rich over a backwards robe...hahahah...

This is the best thing since crocs.... :(

I saw the Slankets last year.
I wanted one, but they're too much money, so my mom bought some fleece blankets on sale and sewed me one. I love it!

Am I the only person who looked at that top pic and thought "oh, that looks COMFY!!"?

I will crawl back into my loser-hole now...

YAY I can be Obi Wan AND comfy at the same time

The slanket is nice on the couch, but damn I would never wear the thing outside.

If you are so damn cold just sitting there on your ass, maybe you should get up, get a job, and pay to turn the f***ing heat up. Until now, I have been blissfully unaware of this whole sub-culture of people freezing their asses off on their couch who are too irritated and retarded to make a blanket work.
In other news... I would happily pay $14.95 for that light that attaches to the book because I am too damn clever to be turning on light in my ice fortress when I'm trying to read in the middle of the day.
I think I'm sick.

This must be the greatest invention to mankind.

@27 - Good point. I would just walk around the house wearing and telling my dogs "These are not the droids you are looking for."

Then they would piss on the Snuggie and rip me to shreds.

In for one!

PS: "One size fits all"? Ha, good luck snuggie, I'll stretch you out like Keira Knightley on prom night.
.
.
.
.
Yeah, that just happened.

Toga! Toga! Toga!

It also comes in handy for those impromptu Pagan rituals that are oh so prevalent this time of year! YAY!

If you buy the blue one, you can wear it to your Mage's guild Meetings!

LOL I love oblivion.

I imagine the conversation went something like this.

Worker - Boss, remember those really cheap ponchos we ordered? They all showed up slit up the back.

Boss - Don't worry, We'll sell them to really stupid people as a blanket with sleeves.

Similar products sell for $60!?!?! Where?

Gee....it hangs like a wizards sleeve....yeah, I said it. Deal.

What about the hands though? Are they going to come out with their "new" invention called something "nose picker warmers", or the "keeps kermits hands from smelling like bacon?" Just saying.

Lord of the Rings fans, rejoice!

Jawa caftan.

I would hide children underneath.

@4: my thoughts exactly.

Hey wait a minute here, "Hands trapped inside" what are they hinting at here? Knowing thy self, spanking the monkey, washing the oysters, churning butter...must be a GAY cult.

I was just listening to Mitch Hedberg's new album last night, and there was a bit where he wished his clothes were made out of blankets, so that if he fell asleep he'd already be tucked in.

RIP Mitch.

I have a Cuddle Wrap which is pretty much the same thing. I've been known to wear it for several days straight when I become a deranged hermit in the winter months.

Didnt Alvin and the Chipmunks wear these like back in the 80's?

a rip-off slanket.

they even posed the pictures the same way.

I guess this works on two levels. One is you have an instant Friar Tuck costume for Halloween. And D, You can bet your money that this will be the new rage with the extremely obese replacing mumus and graduation robes. Probably won't beat a pair of Fiberglass drapes from the 50's and a long heavy duty piece of hemp rope. (Tin foil hat sold separately.)

OMG i've wanted one of these for a whole year - to wear at work when it's cold, because it's always cold and i don't care who sees me in one!

@40 - Are you Michael Jackson?

dumbest shit ever

ermm... it kind of looks like some sort of kkk robe... :/

@Piggnap You're a funny one

this is the wierdest shit i have seen on tv in years, i had to look up the site! they should add that it is open in the back , so that you can go to the bathroom AND stay warm! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Now I know where The Polyphonic Spree get their outfits

Another post about the Snuggie at http://tauntvortex.blogspot.com

Unfortunately, they're out of stock. Even more unfortunately, the site is not interactive and lets you continue to order products, although they have been out of stock and not expecting any new items for the past two weeks. I spoke to a very kind customer service rep who seemed pretty embarrassed that they had not been contacting any customers who had been left in limbo, making them call looking for an order that never shipped. He was very apologetic, and seemed to be frustrated that he wasn't in a position to actually make things better, since they have NO stock of any size, quality or color that he could swap for.

Beware. This might be a company in trouble.

This would make a great start for a ShyGuy costume.

i've got a roll of quarters,new nikes,and i'm ready for the mothership!!!

why dont you all wear a sweater

LOL, robes ftw!! *slow hand movement* you will buy one.

If you wear a matching conical hat, you can be the grand master of the KKK.

I bought one.....great to hide a woody!

I think I'll get the red so I can be a Zamorak mage ^^

someone has probably allready said this, but here goes.......
Has anyone ever had a hospital gown on? yeah they are great at the front, but what about your arse? They say you can wear them out side... but your arse will freeze and it is soo long that if you get up to make a cup of tea or coffee you'll trip up..... but i secretly want one.. shhhh don't tell anyone lol

OK, I don't know if my kids saw this commercial or not, but they both have complained recently that their arms get cold when they read in bed. I saw this and thought it would make a nice Christmas gift for them. Also, my wife and mother both wrap up in a chair to watch TV, just like the ladies in the ad's photos. Is it really just a super long robe made of fleece? I thought of it more as a blanket with sleeves. I don't think you should walk around with it dragging on the floor!

Think of the practical applications... I'll be wearing mine next time I paint the kitchen ceiling!

Well, it's now 11/16/08/ and the price has evidently gone up. I just saw the infomercial and it's $19.95, plus $7.95 for S+H for the snuggie and booklight, and for additional S+H you get a second snuggie and lamp free.

LOL @ the Alvin and the Chipmunks comment. Heck they're even the same colors! Aside from that they do look cozy.

Who taught the mother and little to read a book ..... Pres. Bush??? I have never seen anyone read a book backwards before. Maybe they are in a cult. and won't fleece ignite pretty easy? wouldn't want to be roasting marshmellows in one of those things.

Where they come in handy is for someone like my sister. She's recuperating from surgery, & can't bend down to pick up a blanket if it falls on the floor. This way she can sit in the recliner & be comfortable.

OHHHHMMMM

LOL! I went to getsnuggie.com and these f***ers actually wanted $16.00 for Shipping!! Talk about screwing you over! what does 2 thin blankets weigh? less than a pound? 16 bucks for shipping? Assholes.
Not only that, but I read their "Privacy Policy" what a JOKE! IT essentially says you will be getting a ton of spam and mail advertisements from anyone they sell your info to. F*** these people.

I really wanted to buy the snuggie for my family. The special that they are running is buy one get one free. When I went to www.snuggies.com to purchase two snuggies, which I would get two free. When I was preparing to checkout and pay, I noticed that they were charging me the shipping charge of $7.95 X 4 = $31.80. I dont mind paying the shipping charge for two, but I will not pay the shipping charge for 4. This is ridiculous! I’ll just keep using my Poncho Liner.

Why would I need a snuggie or slanket? I sewed an oversized, beyond floor length fleece robe with a hood and the sleeves are oversized also. I don't need a robe that is worn backwards. best part is the robe fits me and keeps me toastie!!

my body remains warm as i type this comment wrapped in an outdated 'blanket', yet my arms are FREEZING! case in point snuggie--i need you! or, you know, just a long sleeved shirt.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! - I ordered and tried to change quantity but it wouldn't let me AND there is NO-way to contact company other than an (800)# that rings busy or just cuts you off OR snail mail. That's it! If it's being sold online, they could at least have an email contact!!

Please let me know when order # 352049 will narrive.

Thank you, Jim Stark

This invention is quite frankly, better than sliced bread. I can picture my family and myself ice fishing in SNUGGIES right now. They would also look super at a campsite! Very relaxed and casual, but with that cutting edge feel. Why not get the SNUGGIE officially endorsed by the Boy Scouts of America? Imagine a sea of undulating SNUGGIES at the Natonal Boy Scout Jamboree... Chilling and warming at the same time; ust like that wondrous sandwich of yesteryear, The Mc DLT.

Oh Right I look like a monk!

Just to let everyone know....that book light is available at Walmart...for 5 bucks.

My mother sewed stuff like this for me as a kid...it lasted about 2 weeks.

Snuggie is a piece of crap. It's think, it's poorly made, and people who ordered them back in October won't be getting them until after the first of the year. Check out the Slanket at http://www.activeforever.com/p-2175-slanket-blanket-with-sleeves.aspx. I got my sister one for her birthday and she loves it. It's a lot bigger than the Snuggie and much thicker too. Definitely worth the extra money.

Where do these punks get off spamming all my email accounts for a ROBE! Is "SNUGGIE" simply a logo to get all those Barney and TeleTubby fans to buy in? Or perhaps it is a burial gown though I would not be caught dead in one.

DO NOT BUY SNUGGIE!!! IT'S A SCAM!!! GOOGLE SNUGGIE SCAM AND YOU'LL SEE

@ 29....LMFAO...ROFLCOPTER, i was going to buy one of these for my girlfriend and imissed my chance in the store or whereve the f*** she saw it cause now im getting chewed out because there supposedly sold out, but thanks to all of you im going to be officially out of the dog house and buy her a f***ing jedi robe froma halloween store and see if she knows the differ

Beware about buying anything from http://www.freesnuggie.com/ they have no customer service and they lie by advertising $7.95 shipping then charge you over $30 but you don’t find this out till after you place the order. On top of that you can’t even get in contact with anyone to cancel the order.

Also when going through the order process on the website you are pounded with 3 pages of advertisements for various junk and free offers before you can complete your order.

Buyers please beware!

It's not really a robe, a robe still has an opening, this however does not.
So this blog fails.

The only reason I am on this page is because I've been getting a crapload of spam from these idiots for at least a week now (and I know I didn't sign up for anything). That being said, I would not wear one of these. I wear a sweater. And I'm doing fine.

I ordered Snuggies [two for one] at $19.95, and wound up paying $45.85. Once you get to the screen where you input your card information, they have you. There’s no turning back. You can’t cancel; any other input takes you the “thank you for your order” screen. By the way, the book light that is a “$15.00 value” is available at DollarTree for a buck. I bought one. Whether you call it a “Snuggie” a “Slanket“, “Snuglet” or just that big fleece blanket with sleeves, you can make your own instead of shelling out $50+! There’s a great free pattern to make your own Snuglet! Welmoed’s Sewing Room has created a PDF how-to (http://www.sissonfamily.com/Sewingroom/images/2006projects/thesnuglet.pdf) for sewing your own fleece blanket from 3 yards of polar fleece. I’ve seen fleece on sale for as low as $3.50, so it’s a lot more economical to sew your own when you can find the fabric on sale.

The funniest thing about the Snuggie pitch is it's all based off the idea that it's FAR too difficult for an average adult to use a regular blanket.

snuggie is a big ripoff
automated answering
send to wrong address
inferior quality on all products
customer service, no response
get your money back, good luck
big farce

I can't believe i found a way to get in touch,By seeing all of these answers about a BLANKET with sleeves ,I now wonder,why I was fooled by your Commercials. I ordered a blanket you could put your arms in called sleeves on 11/24/08 I was told I would get it for Christmas, No 2 Blanket's or 2 lights has came yet? 12/29/08. I sure hope it is a fleecy blanket instead of a False advertising. I have printed out all these comments about your Advertising,When I order back then ,it was told to me to be $14.99, I was given a reply in the mail at that time,it was $19.95 and it said expiration 11/01/2009.It also said "DO NOT REPLY to this email,it is sent from a monitored email box".(sounded strange then,and continues! My bank shows you got your money,so I have copies of this also,I hope this doesn't get erased (no bad word;s) just frustrated . Mrs Adkins

This is a total rip off of the original product called the SLANKET go to slanket dot com and you will see what I am talking about. I purchased one for my boyfriend about three years ago. personally I think this is a silly product but I will always respect an original over a rip off.

What a piece of crap! What is this the friggin TWILIGHT ZONE? Who with any sense a all would even consider buying this shit? This is so lame. It probley comes with instructions,so morons wont put it on backwards.I guess the upside is, the stupid idiots who did buy it can now use the remote.The same people more than likely also purchased the mini recorder so they dont forget the eggs and milk when they go shopping.

Snuggie's are hilarious. http://brownspotonline.com/recreation/owning_a_snuggie_gives_me_freedom_i_need_fingerblast_you_public

This is a rip off!!! They got me for the tune of about $100 after obtaining my card number. After I called three different phone numbers I spoke with a live person. Now they want me to send back the snuggies I did not want and pay the postage and handling.

That thing is a scam! make one yourself... http://www.sissonfamily.com/Sewingroom/images/2006projects/thesnuglet.pdf

Offices should have SNUGGIE Friday's instead of JEANS AND T-SHIRT Friday's.
It would look a little something like THIS

Russ #8: Well, I liked it better when it was called a ROBE. :P

That's all the "slanket" and "snuggie" are... a robe worn backwards without the belt. :P That's how they make their money though, but taking an old invention and giving it a different name... so everyone is like... "Wow, that's new. I must buy one then." lol

It not as cool as the TickleMe Plant I am growing. The TickleMe Plant REALLY does MOVE when Tickled. The leaves instantly close and even the branches droop. I saw it on fox news and found it at http://www.ticklemeplant.com

Don't buy from the official website, they try to trick you!
You can find some alternative sellers here: http://buyasnuggie.blogspot.com

I Like to use http://snuggie.me when looking up snuggie stuff. They have a ton of information.

what is even more amusing is they are now making the 'snugglette', which is the snuggie for kids. It's a smaller size snuggie that is supposed to make the family warm. Small robe anyone? =)

Mr snuggie is laughing all the way to the bank $60 million in sales...

those Snuggie infomercials draw me in like a magnet, though i haven't gotten to the point of actually buying one yet

Bwahahahahaha
