Oh good. It has been nearly six months since mankind has made any improvements in blanket technology.
In the car? At the doctor’s office? In your parents’ bedroom? Yuck? During a drug deal? On a waterslide? During a drug deal on a waterslide? In the shower? At a surprise party for someone you don’t know that well? At the town garbage dump, dropping off your Slanket, Snuggie, and Hoodie Footie Snuggle Suit? At work? At your desk? At work at your desk this morning? At work at your desk every morning starting this morning? (Via Arbroath.)

The Extra Large Snazzy Napper looks like a burka. JUST What I NEED When dealing with the understanding, intelligent, and efficient Transportation Safety Administration Employees.
I was just gonna say “…at the Ground Zero (not really a) mosque?”
It was designed by Obama. He’s trying to covertly Islamicize the world!
Islamicizer was the original name of the SnazzyNap.
Did you not notice the little “z”s? Burkas aren’t covered with little “z”s. Not unless you are a very modest apostate!
The crescent moon is obviously a different story.
This is part 1 of their 2 product rollout.
Who says innovation is dead?
I’m waiting on my shipment of Snazzy Pampers (Men’s Extra Large).
Napper tested, Taliban approved
“the easy, convenient way to get kick off a transcontinental flight!”
I like to Snazzy Nap in Metallica videos:
And now I dub thee snazzforgiven, whoa whoa
Darkness imprisoning me,
All that I see,
Absolute comfort/convenience!
I’d appreciate justtt a bit more realism in commercials. I don’t need it to go so realistic as DS3M points out, but really, when she puts on her nap thingy right between two dudes reading, I want them at least awkwardly looking at her out of the corner of their eyes, trying to figure out what is going on, then making eye contact with each other, smiling a tad, shrugging, and going back to reading.
JINX!
Yeah, because if you were at the doctor’s office casually tying a blanket to your face the 2 guys next to you reading college pamphlets or whatever would totally not notice and all.
You know those 2 guys are so uncomfortable right now.
“What is she doing? Is she putting on a burka? Oh, god, she’s putting on a burka. No, don’t look. That would be rude. Just be cool. Keep reading. I am a modern, sophisticated, culturally sensitive person and this strange woman who just pulled out a freaking burka and put it on and then fell asleep does not surprise or bother me in the slightest. Fuck, now she’s snoring.”
“Snoring is how they pray in their terror language!”
Mikegentry, so funny. So so so funny.
Well we have to give them credit for the plane example. Because obviously if you’ve just whipped that out, you’re going to find a lot of seats emptying quickly around you.
I hope Michelle Obama never gets hold of one of these, Fox News would have a field day.
Right, because Fox would obviously wait until she actually bought and wore one before reporting that the First Lady wears a burka. #journalisticstandards
“Dudes, we are all asleep right now.”
Shoulda gone with Geocities
Notsewfast! I didn’t know that you were in Birmingham this weekend.
That’s weird. The picture displayed earlier. It’s those Royal Guards from Star Wars. Lots of laughs.
If you’re really going to try to take a nap in public, you need to take the shame that comes with sleeping with your mouth wide open that comes with it. And if you’re at home and are just using it for comfort (it looks really, really comfortable…?), just know that the rest of us seasoned nappers are fully prepared to fall asleep with or without sunlight.
I admire your committment to naps.
If there’s something I’m going to get outraged about, it might as well be nap etiquette. (That and my own typos. My rage canceled itself out in this instance.)
I know, plus, who has the foresight to pack a SnazzyNapper when they’re going to the doctor’s office anyway? If I’m napping in such an inappropriately public place, it’s usually unintentional.
they way the announcer drags out the word ‘so’ when he says ‘soooooo convenient!’ (TWICE!) kind of makes me thing he hates doing this commericial. it’s ok, guy. everyone has to eat.
The Islamification of the west is almost complete
How could we make this ad CRAZIER?
BING!
Gary Busey would be a good candidate for the prototype SnazzyGrafter, surgically attached skin blankets.
Why don’t they just use a hoody like the rest of us humans?
“Robes? Where we’re going we don’t need robes.”
Where DO I Snazzy Nap? …that is such a big question for a Monday morning….
privacy in a bag?
when i was a kid, i had to sleep in the dining room one summer in texas and there were flying cockroaches everywhere. to protect myself, i would wrap every inch of my body in a blanket, leaving a small airhole to breathe out of. snazzy napper would have really helped me during this time.
Child Services might have helped, too.
that’s just what it’s like growing up in texas.
And how did you finally escape your kidnapper?
That’s not fair. How come they get to blind themselves to this ad and we don’t?
eyelids being replaced by blankets. ‘technology/innovation’ is fucking up
Yeah, they should just invent something that makes your eyelids thicker!
Snazzy flapper?
I feel like I’ve seen this concept somewhere before.
Who ARE these lazy sloths they’re targeting?
“Oh, how I wish there was an easier way to sleep in public in broad daylight…”
— An adult with disposable income.
To live in perpetual Twilight. Who would want to do that?
I think you meant “an adult with no current income.” Speaking from experience. (I’m spending way too much time commenting on this post for example.)
You might have a point. The main problem of this product seems that people who could use it the most really are in no position to see this advertisement, let alone afford it.
I mean, if hobos had these Snazzy Nappers back in the golden days of freighthopping…
All of the people who nap during the day live in thier parents basements. As a result, sunlight is not much of an issue.
I left my headphones at home today so I can’t listen to the audio. Can someone tell me if the SnazzyNap is also appropriate for when you find yourself on the nod in public, or is it only for naps?
NAPS ONLY.
I don’t know–I’m pretty sure a sheep with sunglasses is the universal symbol for public intoxication.
There’s no way anyone involved in the creation and marketing of this product actually believes people will use it without irony. They are going entirely for the ironic gag gift market, which the Snuggie has already shown (probably?) to be profitable. Unfortunately there are more laughs to be had watching this 30 second video that in actually having a Snazzy Napper.
I dunno about you guys, but my face is the one place I don’t want covered when I sleep.
Snazzy Napper is also good for making everyone disappear. Usually I have to use one hand to cover my eyes, but with Snazzy Napper I can eat as loud as I want to in the restaurant, because everyone else has ceased to exist.
This also means you can go naked everywhere.
The Snazzy Napper is based entirely upon the theory of “If I can’t see you, you can’t see me.”
I’m a little concerned about how many Truffula Trees went into the making of this thing.
Everyone needs a Thneed!
What would really be snazzy is a little more honesty from Gabe when doing these sponsored posts. Disguising a paid commercial as a blog post is a little disengenuous, Gabe. Next time you should be a little more straightforward with your loyal readership and not just pull the wool over their eyes and sell them out like that.
Steve, I’ve pre-emptively upvoted you to help counteract the downvotes, not that I actually agree with you, and I know you don’t give a care, but I get a kick out of upvoting pretty much all your comments, especially ones in the red.
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU UNDER THE SOUND OF ALL THESE SNAZZYNAPPERS
Hahaha. Wool. The logo is a sheep.
“…pull the wool over their eyes…” Pun intended?
Gabe must be making tens of dollars with all these sweet endorsements.
The amount of money he is making is incidental to the scandal of running paid ads as if they were just natural blog posts. There is a mendacity here that needs to be checked.
Plus, if they just change the name to Snizzo Nap they can get endorsements from Snoop Dog and then make exponentially more money. Just a free idea I’m throwing out there. I have other ideas if you want to hire me as the consultant.
the elephant man look is so hot right now
“The SnazzyNapper! Not available in France.”
I regret that I have only one upvote to give you.
From meriam-webster.com:
Definition of SNAZZY:
conspicuously or flashily attractive : fancy
(http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/snazzy)
Spot on, SnazzyNapper. That word definitely describes your product perfectly. If I was in charge of marketing, I probably would’ve made the mistake of going with “conspicuously attractive napper” or even “fancy napper,” but then again, I’m no Don Draper.
You’re no Don Napper either :
(though he probably let Peggy test the Fancy Napper, just like with that weight loss product)
Crap! They totally stole my idea! I always sleep with a gargabe bag over my head, both to keep the sun out of my eyes and in the hopes that I’ll suffocate in my sleep ending my pathetic existance on earth.
They know about these, right:
What exactly is the usefulness of a bib around your mouth when you sleep?
They’re preventing unwanted sleep-eating, or forcible feeding from your enemies.
“In a car? On a plane? Wherever you enjoy getting beaten up, the snazzy napper is there!”
I am looking foward to using my snazzy napper during any M. Night Shyamalan movie!
are we also discourage from wearing these around the world trade center?
In the past we’ve discussed the the cultural significance and ramifications of the apparent Tim&Eric-ization of modern advertising, but now it appears that the products themselves are undergoing that same process. Seriously, how much longer until someone invents a real-world version of Cinco D-Pants?
more like “rape in a bag”
What about us mouth breathers? It would get all saliva-e inside that thing.

This is mostly just reminding me that I still kind of secretly want the Hoodie Footie Snuggle Suit. It looks really, comfy, OK? It’s not like I’d wear it in public. Well, maybe to a hog-calling competition. But nowhere else!*
*Everywhere else.
I’m upvoting this whole thread:
I had a weird dream while I was Snazzy Napping. I can’t remember much, but it was dark, and I couldn’t talk. I could hear a lot of people around me laughing. And it was like I could smell everything.
