Dude. Silvio. You are the man, and now you will be immortalized on the internet, forever. You are our first user submission, and it only took nine months. Here’s to you.
“This is me grocery shopping on a Sunday morning. I didnt want to take off my snuggie. So I didnt”
grosh shopping in a snug
Fuck yeah Silvio. Also, let the record state that your ironic facial hair pattern is appreciated.
In order to properly perform a Hop, Skip, and a Snug, one must be sure to exactly follow the steps outlined below. Failure to comply may result in bodily harm and a removal from the Snug Life community.
Step 1: You must ALWAYS stretch. (note: stretching must be done in the Snuggie, in public, of course)
Step 2: Running starts are highly recommended. This will ensure proper clearance and help you to avoid getting tangled in the soft, blue fabric of your Snuggie.
Step 3: BE PREPARED. I shouldn’t even have to mention that unplanned Hop, Skip, and Snugs can be hazardous, both to yourself and those around you.
Step 4: Apply plenty of force to the ground and be ready to fly. Watch as those around you stop to observe this mighty feat.
Step 5: YOU ARE AIRBORNE!! Whilst in the air, toe-touching, celebration, and squealing are highly encouraged. Be mindful of heavy winds that may carry your kite-like Snuggie higher and farther than you can even imagine.
Step 6: After nailing your landing, you are free to gloat, kiss babies, sign breasts, and escort young ladies (or wise elders, if that is your thing) back to your nest.
It is clear in the video below, that comedian and host of HBO’s “Real Time,” Bill Maher, does NOT want to endorse the Snuggie. He begins his rant mocking Americans’ questionable purchases (e.g. iFart applications…sidenote: LOL) in these economic times, even resorting to calling Snuggie owners “little people…silly people.”
Despite his own personal stance against Americans’ ignorance and self-indulgence, he cannot help but to praise the Snuggie for being “so cozy,” while clearly demonstrating feelings of elation by stretching out and raising his arms, declaring proudly, “MY ARMS ARE FREEEEEE!!” He later goes off script to say, almost under his breath, that “this IS comfy.” It is at that very moment when you can sense that Mr. Maher’s truest feelings are being expressed.
I don’t know if any Snuggies in Public visitors just so happened to attend the taping of this particular episode, but I would be willing to wager that during a break, the Billster asked one of his PAs to take that Snuggie back to his dressing room so he could relax with three fingers of Glenlivet and enjoy the feeling of freedom and warmth that a Snuggie provides. What started as a knock against our way of life, took a sharp turn and morphed into an advertisement for the Snug Life. For this, I applaud you, Mr. Maher. Goodnight.
Excuse me, sir, but I must cry “FOUL” to your claim that you are the “#1 Snuggie Fan.” Did you start a website devoted to your love of wearing said Snuggie in public? Didn’t think so. Get off my lawn.

Perhaps the most important lesson to be learned by becoming a part of the Snuggies in Public community, will be to become proud of who you are and not worry so much about what others think. Wearing a Snuggie in public can be awkward in the early stages of Snug Life, but you will soon realize that the majority of people will be on-board with the statement that you are making. They will smile and laugh with you, admire your carefree attitude, and want to rub you.
Unfortunately, there may be a few detractors…those who want to belittle your free-spirited nature. Perhaps they choose to live a conservative lifestyle. Maybe they are jealous that they aren’t a part of the in-crowd. Or, as in the case below, they could be royally pissed off that their idea to wear matching Mavericks t-shirts got totally trumped by a young man wearing a blanket with sleeves.
kuk-dong brings a wonderful new life into this mad world
Look! kuk-dong is birthing a brand new snug! Are sweatshops terrible and immoral? Yes. Are snuggies wonderful and rainbow inducing? Also yes. So it breaks even in my opinion.
