Snuggiedom

I first mentioned the Snuggie late last year. I thought it was the stupidest item anyone could ever buy. Earlier this summer, I posted this parody that someone had made and uploaded to YouTube. It still makes me laugh every time I see it. This morning, I was watching TV and saw a fairly new Snuggie commercial. Now I'm confused. 

I know people who genuinely like the Snuggie. I also know people who think it is just as ridiculous as I do. I think it brings out strong emotions on both sides. But after seeing this new commercial, I'm thinking I have some newfound respect for the makers of the Snuggie. Take a look. 

It seems like the commercial is so ridiculous, that it must be intentional. Perhaps the Snuggie people said to themselves, "Our product is such a joke, that we might as well make that our marketing strategy." Is there any other way to explain the dumb music, the stupid dancing, and the father you'd like to punch in the face? I'm inclined to believe it's intentionally over the top. If so, I have to give these guys credit. I won't be buying a Snuggie anytime soon...but still. 

Also, I found another parody of the Snuggie commercial. This is part two and it's still pretty funny.
