Snuggie Winner! AKA I'm Still a Dork!

by rachaelgking on March 4, 2009

***Don’t forget, lovers… tomorrow is TMI Thursday!***

(Also, if the last thing you EVER want to read about is a Snuggie, I was slightly more thought-provoking yesterday. Who loves you?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s Snuggie-Winner-Announcing Day! (It is so. Check your calendar.) If you remember, I announced last week that I would be picking a winner of a brand new SNUGGIE today…

AND, I managed to get a video together. Woot! And, um, please excuse the fact that it is obviously 10 minutes before I’m going to bed and my clothes (pajamas, let’s be honest here) don’t match and my hair’s messed up and and the apartment’s a mess and there’s beer bottles behind me and I’m wearing a Snuggie.

Oh wait. That last part was kind of the point.

God, I’m a loser. Drumroll please!

(Or, if that’s being all not-worky, go here. The end is kind of wonky, but you can hear the most important parts… 1. I’m a dork, and 2. No really, I am.)

So, if your work is lame and blocks youtube, or you just couldn’t stand the sound of my nasaly voice, the winner is…

Marie from Marie’s Blog Cafe! Congrats, my darling. Go forth and enjoy your newfound warmth! You’re part of the cult now, love.

And as a last Snuggie send-0ff, here are some hilarious Snuggie-related videos for your viewing pleasure. Or not. Either way, I promise to never talk about the Snuggie again. Unless you bring it up. Or something else funny happens. Or I forget that I said that.

College Humor’s “I’m In a Snuggie!” Rap. Wait for the tighty-whiteys.

Gawker’s “The WTF Blanket“. This is HILARIOUS and so, so true.

And, um, if after ALL of this you still want your own… here’s a link to CostCo where they’re selling them TWO FOR $15!!! WITH the free Snuggie booklight!

/Snuggie.

I promise.

(Maybe.)

If Snuggie isn’t writing you a big fat check, they should be.

2 Marie March 4, 2009 at 1:42 pm

Seriously? Me? No way! I never win anything! Woohoo! Yay! Awesomeness. :)

3 I-66 March 4, 2009 at 1:47 pm

Kill me.

4 Lemmonex March 4, 2009 at 1:47 pm

I am sure that other one you picked out was mine. You cunt.

5 Fearless in Toronto March 4, 2009 at 1:53 pm

What? I thought TODAY was Thursday.

Dammit. I’m going to put my head down on my desk for a while.

If only I had an office Snuggie…

6 Jaime March 4, 2009 at 2:03 pm

For now I shall still be wearing my Care Bear blanket to keep warm.

At least it’s fashionable!

Congrats to Marie!

7 Velvet March 4, 2009 at 2:21 pm

I love the cameraman-commentary. Are you two going to be getting your own show?

8 Maxie March 4, 2009 at 2:32 pm

I’m crying. No snuggie porn in my future.

9 Jacqueline March 4, 2009 at 2:34 pm

This video was too funny. I love the commentary in the background and you are adorable!

10 Kristina P. March 4, 2009 at 2:35 pm

Dammit, I need two SNuggies! Stay tuned for Monday!

11 cavy March 4, 2009 at 2:36 pm

guess i’ll have to stick with long johns :) and LOVE the beer bottles in the background – i noticed those right away!

12 Mb March 4, 2009 at 2:46 pm

i’m particularly fond of your jazzhands-like hands…if that makes sense. no? oh well.

13 Kristen March 4, 2009 at 3:06 pm

I went out this weekend to get some stuff for my new apartment – and what was in my face as soon as I walked into Bed Bath and Beyond. The SNUGGIE!!! I walked around getting what I needed but still kept coming back to that Snuggie. So of course I HAD to buy it. I love it. I neeed to marry the creator of the snuggie.

14 Fizzgig March 4, 2009 at 3:10 pm

has anyone noticed that in the snuggie commercial, she says snuggie, then calls it a snoogie at the end?

is it a snuggie? or a snoogie? and since they probably have a billion dollars now, maybe they should fix their commercial. It annoys me!

i guess congrats to the winner. even if its not me.

15 Just A Girl March 4, 2009 at 3:15 pm

Haha you crack me up. And the comments on Gawker were even better than the video – my favorite was this one:

“Anyway, this Slanket and Snuggie feud signals the new gang war. It will be like the Jets and the Sharks and the real-life Bloods and Crips, but the Slankets and the Snuggies will be limited to scathingly critical blog posts of one another, once they finish their nachos, wake up from their nap and figure out how to type while topped with cats.”

“Topped with cats” is probably my new favorite EVER! Oh and look at the pictures for this bad boy –
http://www.srulirecht.com/index.php/projects/Blankoat.html

There’s something so wrong happening there.

16 f.B March 4, 2009 at 3:19 pm

I feel like I’ve missed the Snuggie boat. It’s almost spring. Can I still buy a Snuggie and wear it in April?

17 brookem March 4, 2009 at 3:30 pm

congrats to marie!

but i want one.

18 Alice March 4, 2009 at 3:35 pm

oh my gosh, i can’t believe there was a snuggie giveaway and i was TOO LATE TO ENTER. curses. congrats, marie :-)

19 Kate March 4, 2009 at 3:39 pm

*sigh*

I want the video of when you figure out the whole masturbation thing. I’ll be waiting.

20 vazenchick March 4, 2009 at 3:44 pm

Aww man I missed out on the snuggie goodness. Guess I’ll just have to order myself one.

Thanks for the link so I can order myself one…I think I’ll order one for me and the Amazing Guy, so we can share in the snuggy goodness together.

21 BeckEye March 4, 2009 at 4:02 pm

BOOOOOO!!! The contest was rigged!!!

Er, I mean, congratulations, Marie. Sunshine and rainbows!

22 FoggyDew March 4, 2009 at 4:17 pm

My office is evil and does block video like those you suggest, but I wass wondering this: Do any of the videos include the users of the Snuggies using them next to an open ignition source and bursting into flames? Cause if so, I’ll find a computer where I can watch them.

Oh, and Lem used one of my favorite bad words. How’s come only girls can use it?

23 Woolly March 4, 2009 at 4:21 pm

I totally wanted to win that… In fact I am so bummed I lost I now have to go online and buy one!!!

I hate you now btw, I can’t believe I want a snuggie….

Enjoy you weekend with Fearless… while I sit in my hotel room in Toronto and play online poker instead of working!!!!!

24 surviving myself March 4, 2009 at 4:26 pm

I will not wait for the whitey tighties thank you very much.

25 Shelly March 4, 2009 at 4:30 pm

OK now I am just waiting for TMI Thursday WITH the Snuggie!

26 Steam Me Up, Kid March 4, 2009 at 4:37 pm

Was that magic, what you did with the paper on your sleeve? i think it was magic. You are made of magic, LiLu.

27 insomniaclolita March 4, 2009 at 4:38 pm

Anybody knows where to buy that around here? I think I could use one LMAO

28 LiLu March 4, 2009 at 4:42 pm

Malnurtured Snay: I concur.

Marie: Can we wear our Snuggies at the bar to meet?

66: I’m done, I promise.

Lemmonex: You can share mine.

Fearless: We should totally invent that this weekend.

Jaime: Um, can you have a giveaway for that Care Bear blanket??

Velvet: I’m just waiting for Vh1 to call. Word on the street is Bret Michaels is tapped.

Maxie: Mine, either. I might have to buy you one just cause.

Jacqueline: If by ‘adorable’ you mean ‘dorkalicious’, then yes… yes we are. :-)

Kristina P: Will do!

cavy: Of course you did. We’re klassy like that.

Mb: Can you please buy your mom a Snuggie anyway?? I really wanted to read that commentary…

Kristen: YES! You’re now a member of the retardulous cult as well! Congrats!

Fizzgig: Maybe that was what she named it. Mine’s called Pedro.

Just A Girl: That Gawker article was hilarious. And YOU’RE topped with cats!

f.B: Maybe you can cut it and make a slest- a vest with sleeves! Oh wait. That’s a jacket.

brookem: Don’t worry, love. We can go Snuggie shopping when I come up!

Alice: CostCo is your friend :-)

29 LiLu March 4, 2009 at 4:45 pm

Kate: I’ve got a sewing kit and I know how to wield a button. Don’t think it won’t happen.

vazenchick: See, perfection! Maybe you can get different colors. B keeps stealing mine.

BeckEye: And kittens. Don’t forget the kittens.

Foggy: I know. It’s like the N-word but for chicks. Once when I was bartending we employees tried it out, “What up cunt?” “Not much cunt, how’s it hanging?” It didn’t really catch on.

Woolly: Don’t hate me. Hate the delicious coziness of the Snuggie.

surviving myself: You’re missing out. It’s a priceless moment. But I guess you like your eyes un-seared.

Shelly: Oh, the images in my mind right now…

Steam Me Up: BOOZE and magic. Magical booze, even.

insomniaclolita: I bet Snuggie would ship to the islands!

30 fiona March 4, 2009 at 5:05 pm

congrats Marie…you deserve it! lol
Lilu darlin you are just the cutest wee thing!
I got into a lot of trouble for using the “C” word when we first came to these US and A’s, back home it’s a term of endearment! LOL Try telling that to a Californian.
“But I luv ye, ya cunt”

31 Liebchen March 4, 2009 at 5:07 pm

That video was stellar. Nicely done. Also, you always look so happy in your Snuggie, it’s kind of making me want one…

32 Gladys March 4, 2009 at 5:11 pm

I’m so (pissed at)happy for Marie(that bitch) that she won the Snuggie(that should have been mine) and I am going right over to her blog to leave a (scathing) congratulatory comment.

33 Mb March 4, 2009 at 5:24 pm

Since CostCo is having the sale I’m going to buy her one and give the other to my dad. Lord knows what kind of trouble they will get into.

34 Kate March 4, 2009 at 5:26 pm

I think we should place bets on exactly how long it takes you to mention the Snuggie again.

35 aliencg March 4, 2009 at 5:58 pm

The Snuggie makes you like a cult member like the people in the commercial. All apologies to the “winner” of the Snuggie.

36 Kristin March 4, 2009 at 6:04 pm

Hilarious! I don’t know whats worse, you actually making that video or the fact that your boyfriend was a willing participant…. :)

Love it!

37 TishTash March 4, 2009 at 6:16 pm

Wow, you’re like the Snuggie Fairy. You wouldn’t happen to be friends with the Booze Fairy, would you? I’d like a direct line.

38 Ms. Sadie March 4, 2009 at 7:01 pm

lol. I thought you were kidding with all the snuggy talk! joke is on me :)

39 nothingfancy1 March 4, 2009 at 7:23 pm

Okay…I missed the whole Snuggie giveaway. But as a Costco lover…I’m gonna get me one!!!

40 rs27 March 4, 2009 at 7:33 pm

I’m not going to lie, I thought at some point you were going to throw some cats in that bag and make a “stew” to get rid of all the demons in your apartment. And cackle.

In other news.

Another woman won something. Shocking. Men never get anything except genital warts and boners.

Boner Stabbones.

41 LiLu March 4, 2009 at 7:41 pm

fiona: Alright, that’s officially our term of endearment for each other from here on out. ;-)

Liebchen: SEE? Fluff is contagious!

Gladys: Ha! Now play nice, my love… Costco’s almost giving them away!

Mb: YES. I can’t wait for that post! And I demand pictures!

Kate: Snuggie. HA YOU LOSE. Oh wait, you had 1 second? I guess you win. But I have a Snuggie, so who REALLY wins?? Damn, I did it again!

aliencg: Self-proclaimed, thankyouverymuch.

Kristin: You love it. Guess who’s getting a belated birthday present in April?!

TishTash: If I had a direct line to the Booze Fairy, I wouldn’t be typing this well right now…

Ms. Sadie: Or is it? Dum dum dum…

nothingfancy: Awesome! You can get one for the hubby too.

rs27: I would have, but B won’t let me have cats. He likes “breathing” or some shit. Redic.

42 Amanda. March 4, 2009 at 8:04 pm

I’m pretty sure the other name you tossed back into the pile was my name. I could just tell. Ughh.

I giggled the entire time through this video. You’re like a Snuggie Spokeswoman! So sexy.

43 tanya March 4, 2009 at 8:10 pm

this is hilarious–congrats to the winner!

44 moooooog35 March 4, 2009 at 8:15 pm

Snuggie: Because nothing says ‘sexy’ like a chick wrapped in 534 cubic feet of felt.

45 Dolce March 4, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Damnit, I need one of those. All my clothes are turning to MuuMuu size anyway.

46 Ruby March 4, 2009 at 9:22 pm

Just A Girl, you are right. That comment was absolutely hilarious.

Lilu, you are such a sweetheart for doing this giveaway (though the guy in the blanket-sized scarf could have used it [and it would have looked more fashionable lol]!).

Congrats Marie!

47 Patty Duke March 4, 2009 at 9:31 pm

Congradulations Marie. May the snuggie be with you.

LiLu, you’re going to be a star yet. I know you are.

48 JoLee March 4, 2009 at 9:55 pm

I’m almost mad enough that I didn’t win to never read your blog again… eh, F that… you’re way to cool and i’m in love with you too much to just walk away.

49 Snow White March 4, 2009 at 9:57 pm

Even though I’m freezing here without my mother effing snuggie… I have something to share with you! I was teaching out of the Junior Scholoastic today (it’s what I do on Monday’s when I haven’t planned properly) when I saw this little gem. I immediately thought of you! Hope you enjoy!! cuz he’s fugly fo sho!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27786771/

50 Patty Duke March 4, 2009 at 10:01 pm

Oops! Just found my dictionary, congratulations! There.

51 WickedCourtni March 4, 2009 at 10:18 pm

HAH! My husband simply turns his bathrobe around…. and calls it his “Ghetto Snuggie”

All I can do is roll my eyes and laugh.

52 Patty Duke March 4, 2009 at 10:26 pm

Check out my comment on Marie’s blog. What do ya think?

53 Muppet Soul March 4, 2009 at 10:45 pm

OhmyG-dthatmademesohappy.

I think I’m going to have to give in to a snuggie purchase.

::damnit::

Boy’s got a cute voice!

And to be dorky is to be awesome. This is what I have to tell myself.

I so want to be the girl with a mountain bike on her apartment wall.

54 egan March 4, 2009 at 10:46 pm

I can get free stuff on your blog? This is like so cool. Not only is it free stuff, it’s the Snuggie. Damn, I’m too late this time. That’s the kind of thing I’d be ashamed to buy, but would love for someone to give me.

55 Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) March 4, 2009 at 11:53 pm

Congrats to Marie!

That video was awesome…but I expected nothing less from you, LiLu! ;)

56 Jules March 5, 2009 at 12:08 am

Dude – that was mine you threw back in there wasn’t it?????
But I loved your dorkiness and the other snuggie videos!!!
And congrats Marie!

57 LiLu March 5, 2009 at 12:17 am

Amanda: I did see an "A" on there… kidding! Kidding! I'm like Vanna White.

tanya: Thanks, love.

moooooog35: And B knows it all too well.

Dolce: This thing will fit your huge pregnancy boobs!

Ruby: Aw, thanks. I am the good Snuggie Samaritan!

JoLee: That's right, hooker. Don't you dare walk away! <3

Snow White: Oh my lord… that is FANTASTIC! How do I get one???

Patty Duke: I didn't see your comment on Marie's…? But then, I also can't read…

WickedCourtni: I want a robe, too, so I'll have a front AND back Snuggie!

Muppet Soul: He does have a cute voice, doesn't he? And, um, let's just pretend that bike has seen the outdoors since we moved in, shall we?

egan: The Snuggie is a guilty pleasure, it's true.

Stacy (TRCC): Aw, thanks, darling!

Jules: I love my dorkiness too. ;-)

58 justjp March 5, 2009 at 12:24 am

I am sad you dropped mine!

So, tomorrow’s TMI is entitled Treasures of the Deep. Yea, I will let you marinate on that…

59 Baking With Plath March 5, 2009 at 12:52 am

Um, I love you. I am just saying.

60 Katie March 5, 2009 at 1:19 am

LMAO (and I don’t use that very often). That WTF video is HILARIOUS. Thank you so much for bringing it into my life. That creepy dad guy really is in a “seductive pose.”

61 SassyLittleGinger March 5, 2009 at 1:19 am

snuggie should be paying you.

i am counting down the minutes until tmi thursday! i want to do a “theme” day, but can’t figure out what to do just yet!

62 Jaxie Fantastic March 5, 2009 at 1:40 am

You are awesome! I love that video… I loved your previous post too, I’m just too lazy to go back and comment on that too.

63 Jackie March 5, 2009 at 2:20 am

Hilarious videos! I love that they parodied a parody in the first one. And the WTF blanket is just hysterical because it’s what everyone is thinking when they see those commercials.

I still want a snuggie though.

64 MsPuddin March 5, 2009 at 2:53 am

I have no idea whats going on. All I know is that I found a blog that I can win free stuff. Yay! be back soon…;p

MsP

65 alexa - cleveland's a plum March 5, 2009 at 2:57 am

i hate snuggies, i really really do – but for whatever reason when you have one on i can’t stop laughing.

and congrats to marie, i love her!

66 Jenni Jiggety March 5, 2009 at 3:13 am

I didn’t win? Are you sure? I think I demand a recount…

67 ♥Caroline♥ March 5, 2009 at 3:38 am

Thanks for stopping by my blog..It’s funny you gave away a snuggie..just a couple nights ago i was telling my husband that we should get some. Oh well maybe next time. :)

68 p March 5, 2009 at 4:56 am

It’s on there now. I had the suggestion that you both wear pearls with your snuggies, when you meet up for a beer.

Wow! It almost Thursday, I gotta go do something worthy of TMI.

69 Patty Duke March 5, 2009 at 4:59 am

p is actually me. I’ve been effing up comments all day.

70 Chele March 5, 2009 at 7:15 am

that was awesome blossom, i loved the video

71 theoddduckling March 5, 2009 at 1:46 pm

First, how the hell hadn’t I added you to my GReader yet?

Second I went back and checked out your picture commercial. Your expressions are hilarious.

I all ready bought a set of Snuggies for the girlfriend and I. As she is every bit as crazy as you about them, this should be entertaining.

72 LiLu March 5, 2009 at 2:53 pm

justjp: Heading off to read it now…

BWP: Likewise. Mostly because of your late-night dancing videos that remain in my Google Reader. Priceless.

Katie: I know! Dear Creepy Dad: EWWWWWWWWWWWW.

SL Ginger: Join in on TMI Thursday, love! I know you've got some good embarrassing stories up your sleeve…

Jaxie Fantastic: Ha- I forgive you :-) And thanks, love.

Jackie: It's okay to want it. Snuggie wants you too.

MsPuddin: C'mon back, ya heer?

alexa: That means a lot, coming from you ;-)

Jenni Jiggety: I'm sorry! Next time…

Caroline: You should get some! Bed Bath & Beyond, and Costco both have em…

p: We just might! And you should totally write a TMI…

Chele: awesome blossom! God I miss that phrase.

theoddduckling: You better have now! And good job on the Snuggies- she's going to squeal, I promise.

73 Connie March 5, 2009 at 2:54 pm

Congrats to Marie! Honor came over to see what I was up to as I watched your video. She returned your kiss.. mwaaa!

74 Smart Mouth Broad March 5, 2009 at 7:52 pm

Congrats to Marie. I guess I’ll just have to go back to my no-hands home-made no-sew FSU fleece throw. That’s OK tho because I love it! But I do wish it had a hands-free option.

75 pistols at dawn March 7, 2009 at 6:36 pm

We are truly all winners for having participated.

76 coffee March 13, 2009 at 5:20 pm
