Branded as "the blanket with sleeves," the above commercial shows people doing everything in their Snuggies from lounging on the couch with their poodles to toasting marshmallows over an open fire to watching football games outdoors. Okay first of all, the fact that they advocate going out in public in these makes me wonder if this is merely a plot to bring on a next-generation MuuMuu...

Featuring old favorites like the "Where did I park my car" lady, this commercial plunges any competitor into oblivion!
