Either Hilariously Great or Incredibly Dumb. Possibly Both.
This is only tangentially related to our topic, but rock band Weezer is offering a Weezer-branded Snuggie with the purchase of their new CD/mp3/recording.
To be more accurate, if you buy the Snuggie, you get the recording.
Here’s the infomercial:
Things I love about this:
-The way the members of Weezer are now part of the famous Snuggie infomercial. They’re pretty dorky looking, and next to the generic infomercial family, it just cracks me up.
-The foot massage. I don’t know why this made me laugh. Maybe because we can’t see whose feet they are. I like to think it’s the generic infomercial mom.
-The Weezer guy reading the paper. I will now avoid any serious commentary on whether Weezer or its fans ever read the paper…
What do you think? Hilariously Great? Incredibly Dumb? Or both?
