Scam Alert!
Snuggies-The woobie that will rob you blind.
Put. Down. The. Phone. It’s just a blanket with sleeves, people. Tons of fixed income golden grahams just wanted a comfers cozy smock to keep their artificial hips warm this winter. But apparently once you get on their website, or call the 1 800 line it is impossible to get out of there without being fleeced for $100, even though they are advertised for 18.99 or some shit. In a classic bait and switcharoo they make you think you are getting a free Snuggie, but next thing you know, you’ve bought four of these backwards bathrobes and the only way to jump ship is to call your credit card company screaming STOP!!
As David Horowitz would say, “Fight back, and don’t let anyone rip you off!

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

It’s a goddamn nation of suburban fleece monks!

Franciscan Monks are way ahead of these people.

HAHAHA, I’m so glad this is a scam. Even my super grandma-y grandma thought that was bullshit. The camping family in the commercial looks like a cult.
01.08.09 at 9:30 pm
Thanks for the warning. I was going to get one because i’m super lazy and cold. But now I’ll just stick with my old fashioned blanket. I’m not joking.
01.08.09 at 9:39 pm
It a fucking robe worn backwards! Don’t Kriss Kross own the patent on this?
01.08.09 at 10:11 pm
they look like stonecutters!
01.08.09 at 11:39 pm
seriously, if you’re cold and want sleeves, WEAR A FUCKING SWEATER. if you’re that much of an idiot to get stuck in a blanket, then you deserve to be stuck… and maybe thrown down a flight of stairs.

Yeah, that’s Marshall Applewhite at about 0:20.

Or if you want a blanket with your hands sticking out of it, cut some holes in a blanket.
01.09.09 at 2:20 am
haha man this is the most ridiculous thing ever. I saw this on tv at like 4AM a few days ago. seriously….its just a fucking robe without a back. why not just go to the store and get a god damned robe? then at least you can get some selection, so you dont look like some death cult.
the best part was where they were wearing those fucking things at the sporting event! can you imagine seeing an entire family wearing those at a hockey game! the people wouldn’t be just sitting there next to them as if everything was normal, thats for damned sure.

Everyone in that commercial looks like the just joined a cult.
They should’ve had The Cult do the jingle.
at least it would be intresting.

Holy shit….even NPR was onto this story like 2 weeks ago. I realize there may be no shitty bands to plug this week, and BN just retired, but c’mon SC, get it together!
01.09.09 at 3:24 pm
That’s what you get for buying a BLANKET WITH SLEEVES!
01.09.09 at 4:29 pm
isnt a snuggie when you get your underwear yanked up your ass?
01.09.09 at 5:20 pm
How are you suckered so easily, I was able to get only one. I tried to wear a robe backwards, it sucked, then I saw the snuggie. It’s the coolest relaxing device. I have all this oversized heavy fleece on me and my hands are mobile! I can smoke my joint, drink my sleepytime, and turn the channels with ease. Although I don’t think I’d wear it out in public.

this is for wizards.
01.09.09 at 11:56 pm
I saw a box for one of these in a garbage pile, woo hoo!
01.10.09 at 3:44 am
haha the family at the soccer game looks like a cult
01.10.09 at 11:50 am
I had a blanket with sleeves before the infomercial.

My roommate has one of these, she looks very comical, we make fun of her, I don’t think it’s a scam?
01.11.09 at 3:44 am
I love these commercials. I watch them whenever possible. But what type of person is stupid and lazy enough to actually order one?
01.13.09 at 3:54 pm
MY “CHRISTMAS GIFTS” WERE RECEIVED JANUARY 16, 2009 AND I ENDED UP WITH FOUR!I HAD ORDERED TWO ON DECEMBER 6TH — AND THE SHIPPING COST WAS AS MUCH AS ALL FOUR SCAMMIES CALLED SNUGGIES. I AM RETURNING THEM FOR FULL REFUND BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT REFUND SHIPPING! I’M FURIOUS AND MAY NEVER ORDER ANYTHING ON LINE AGAIN….THIS IS A RIP-OFF AND THEY HAVE NOT HEARD THE LAST OF MY YET!
