Dog Costumes Redux (aka These Dogs Wish They Had a Thumb to be able to Shoot Themselves)

It’s Sunday.  I’m in Long Island after a LONG night at a family wedding.  My alarm goes off at 8:45AM before my 10AM brunch.  I shower, flip on the TV while I get ready and the next thing I know, my favorite infomercial (besides the Shamwow of course) comes on.

I get a chuckle by the fact that they have a new(ish) line called Designer Snuggies as if leopard print would change my mind.  I thought this would be rock bottom for the Snuggies folks, but THEN they dig themselves deeper into the pits of informercial hell when they announced…

Rewatching the video multiple, I get the sense that these dogs:

  1. Are aware of how stupid this apparel line is
  2. Would rather be outside in the “chilly air” than filming the infomercial
  3. Are probably drugged because there’s NO way they would allow themselves to be handled like that
  4. Wish they had thumbs to shoot themselves in the head

My thoughts are that if we weren’t deevolving the species of dogs, they could handle the cold.  Also, even if we truly felt we needed some sort of covering for our dogs, we could make something 10 times better from home in less than 10 minutes for a tenth of the cost.

Watch the video again, get a laugh or two and also check out my post on Halloween Costumes and Absurd Dog Costumes.

  1. [...] get a dog if you don’t want to clean up after it?  Dogs don’t have thumbs.  They can’t clean up after themselves.  So it’s your job to do it.  I get so [...]
