View Full Version : Shamwow vs. Snuggie

Okay, okay.. We have all seen the Infomercials and Advertisements. I know Jim Rome did a big piece on these, but I thought it should finally be put to rest. What's better the ShamWOW ("are you getting this camera-man?"), or the Snuggie (perfect for both males and females)????

Shamwow, because you dont look like a ***** while using it oustide.

You know, we are having sort-a this discussion in the Television Discussion Thread and it is worthy of its own topic.
The Snuggie looks like you belong to some cult/supremacy group and it just sounds homosexual. I could understand you wanting around the house in private if you live alone, but never go to a public event (an event of 2 or more people) with it.
The ShamWow wins because it's pitchman is actually a complete freakshow. Check out his wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Offer
He's a strange man.

ShamWOW looks ******* awesome on the commercial.
Just cut arm holes in a blanket and wear it over a sweatshirt if you want a snuggie.

Haha, the snuggie is a blanket with sleeves. And if you add a hood you are officially a member of some sort of KKK looking cult.

Snuggies look like you are wearing your bath-robe backwards or part of some group waiting to hitch a ride on some comet. With Sham-wow's, where as the infomercial salesman is a little weird, seems like a pretty cool product. I wouldn't mind ordering some actually.

Wow, I never read that before, that's kind of scary. But I still have to go with ShamWow. Although we all know that Billy Mays would beat the **** out of either of these two.

The Sham-wow seems like it's just a shammy being marketed like it's something new and special. They've been around long before that infomercial. Basically it's what I use when drying my car after washing it. It's better than a towel (especially for cars with really nice paint jobs) because sometimes towels can scratch the paint a little bit. Go to a classic car show, lots of people use a shammy to wash their cars.
I would still choose the sham-wow over the Snuggie though, just because the snuggie looks crazy and because I have these things called sweatshirts that don't make me look like i'm in a cult.

My vote goes to the snuggie.
I've yet to find anyone who wants a shamwow, however both my grandma and my girlfriends sister want a snuggie.

If this "save a blade" works, it is easily the greatest infomercial product of all time. Apparently, you will never have to buy another blade again, it even works on disposable razors. That's pretty bad ass considering I get about 3 'comfortable' uses per blade. After that I cant even get a close shave and girls complain about how my face feels like sandpaper.

I will +rep anyone who can find me this one as seen on Tv product:
It was a sponge that when you put it in plain water, it becomes soapy. All it is is just a hardened soapy sponge. They make it all scientific and say this sponge is infused with soap molecules. How hard is it to put a sponge in a bucket of soapy water? Its the same thing. I just dont understand.

Vince Shlomi, ShamWow Pitchman, Arrested For Battering Hooker

Hahah his name is Vince Shlomi. Apparently he paid a hooker 1000 $ for "straight sex" and then tried to kiss the prostitute (gross). She then preceded to bite his tongue, probably in protest of being kissed - as kissing is typically forbidden in these kinds of transactions. Duh. He then punched her repeatedly until she let go. Afterward he ran screaming into the lobby to call the cops. What a douche.
