The makers of _Underoos_ has announced that the will come out with adult sizes soon. What kind of Underoos do you want to wear? _“Spider-Man, Spider-Man, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man…”_ 🙂 ---

Can I get Clark Kent? I’m so shy I wear my glasses to bed so no one will suspect me of being a super hero at all :eek: ---

Underoos are fun to wear…plop oops I need another pair. My friend used to sing that constantly. It’s really ruined underoos for me. ---

Are they making boxers? I could use some Spidey boxers… broccoli! ---

pezpunk, for the record, I believe that the line from the commercials was “Underroos, the underwear that’s fun to wear.” ---

It was a parody of the commercial that my friends sang. A poor parody but a parody nonetheless, for the record 😉 ---

Do you have a link for this? I’d love to see my potential options here. I think I’d dig some Underoos with characters from Squaresoft RPGs on them. Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy underoos would whoop some serious ass. Next you’ll be telling me they make footie pajamas for grownups. (If they do, don’t bother sending me a link unless they’ll fit someone who is six feet tall. If you can find that, expect kickbacks of some sort.) ---

…I have ALWAYS wanted a pair of B-52s underoos…I just like the way it sounds. ---

The legs were way too long for me (I’m 5’ 4") so they might fit someone 6’. They were tie-dye, though; don’t know if that’s your kind of thing. ---

Ahh–I feel like a complete jackass here, since I could probably look it up pretty easily on a search engine… What the heck is an Underoo? -Ashley ---

Footie pyjamas for kids, usually like a costume of a comic book hero. ---

Oooh, I’m all about the _Star Wars_ Underoos if they make 'em for grown-ups! How cool would I look with Obi-Wan Kenobi on my ass? “Hey honey, check out my light saber!” ---

**Drain Bead** … Sears had footie pjs for grown ups! My friend is 5’10" - 5’11" and she found some that fit her, so I’m sure you could find a pair!!! I have a very fuzzy, very comfy pair of footie pjs… sorry for the hijack! ---

> [@](#): > > Next you’ll be telling me they make footie pajamas for grownups. The wife of a good friend of mine had some of these several years ago. She looked cute as hell in them. In fact (warning: Too Much Information ahead) we had great fun one night when she modeled several different ones for us, and even greater fun taking them off of her. Ugly
