Snuggle Bear Reveals His True Colors

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I think most of us can agree that Snuggle is the very embodiment of all that is evil. Well, last night I saw a new Snuggle Fabric Softener commercial in which his mask of adorability cracks.

That likeable hedgehog peeks out from a pile of laundry and promises a housewife to fill her house with snuggly softness, in his agreeable Brooklyn accent. The housewife dismisses him snottily: “Who are you? Get out of my house!” The poor hedgehog snuffles off, demoralized.

THEN we see Snuggle, lurking hideously on a high shelf, LAUGHING evilly at the hedgehog’s dismay. Snuggle then launches himself off the shelf and floats down at us like something out of Nosferatu—at this point I screamed and changed the channel.

Anyone else see this, or did my doctor give me the wrong prescription again?

Note to self: Find out what Eve’s taking, stock up.

Clip! We demand a clip!

Eve, I would pay money to see that. I’d pay even more to see Winnie, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore dismembering Snuggle and eating his stuffing, but I’ll take what I can get.

I think it’s unfair, myself. The hedgehog was channeling Engelbert Humperdink at the time.

5

OMG, yes! I saw it last night, too, and instantly sided with the hedgehog against Snuggle Bear’s Evil Empire.

And I bet when he took that dive down off the shelf, he landed right on the poor little Brooklyn hedgehog and porked him in the ass. :eek:

More reminders of Snuggle’s evil:

“WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Unilever Home and Personal Care USA, of Greenwich, Conn., is voluntarily recalling about 4 million plush Snuggle® bears. The eyes and noses of these bears can come off, posing a choking hazard to young children.”

Auntie Em—I am SO glad you saw it, too . . .

Saw it. Was dismayed. I always liked that cute little bear. Then they used the first commerciel wiht the (hedgehog? I thought it was a porcupine) That guy was adorible.

And then … last night. We see Snuggle Bear leering down on the dispondent little fellow and chortling with derisive glee. Almost broke my heart.

Maybe we’re just on the same meds (or lack thereof)…

10

Well then, that makes three of us. I saw it the other night. And I felt sorry for the hedgehog.

11

Long live the hedgehog.

:smiley:

12

This is why TV frightens me.

I used to have one of those Snuggle stuffed bears. I have thankfully since ridden my household of that evil little animal.

:: shudder ::

Thankfully I have not seen this commercial. I shall try to avoid it.

13

God, I just hate that little bear.
Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em.
If Snuggles was a person, he’d be an anal retentive gossipy snob of the first degree. You know, one of those people that is all smerky smiley to your face and then blam, eviscerates the minute your back is turned.

14

I saw it at lunchtime. Normally, I ignore commercials, but since I had read this thread in the morning, I watched it.

** Stands on soap box ** Fabric Softner is evil I tell’s ya! Evil!
Better to add some white vinegar to the rinse cycle.

15

It’s a porcupine.
And I love the porcupine. Especially when he says “I’m snuggawy sawwft!”

Snuggle Bear is the Anti-Christ’s cousin. Not the total embodiment of evil, but right up there with it in some twisted inbred kind of way.

16

I saw it, too, and all I’m on at the moment is Allegra. :slight_smile:

17

Well, fortunately all of us Pratchett fans know that the hedgehog can never be buggered at all.

18

I prefer the 'dillo myself…

19

Yes I saw it. Snuggle is apparently King of the World. What was that ad where he was being chased by a tank that was blowing off pieces of him? Oh yeah…

The original commercial

We can rebuild him

You can’t blame Snuggles for being pissed, I hear years of exposure to softener left him unable to perform as a man.
