Weezer: So uncool, they are cool?

[JayFarrar]

Weezer to sell a band-branded Snuggie, you know, the blanket with arms.

A press release noted that it will allow "fans of the band to stay warm while keeping their hands free to rock out."

In other news: Weezer makes a dork like me look cool. Thanks Weezer!

Are you implying that Snuggies aren't cool?

 

[imjustagirl]

I'm surprised more people/groups/bands haven't done this. Snuggies are sweeping the country.

I hate snuggies. One of the dumbest products to come along in years. A pox on snuggies.

You need to get in on Secret Santa so I can buy you one.

I'm def not doing it now.

I think the Weezer logo on the front of the snuggie makes it cool. Without, it's the lamest thing in the world.

Doubt I'll be seeing the band anyway; they're a lousy live act.

And while just two listens in, I think the new album may be their worst. NOTHING jumps out at me ... not exactly what you want out of a pop record.

I love Weezer. Don't know if Weezer is cool or uncool. I just know I love Weezer.

Snuggies rock because of the ads. They're absolutely brilliant. But this Subaru ad may be one of my favourite car ads ever.

I love Weezer. I love Snuggies.

I love lamp.

Trey's right, they are an awful live act. I saw them touring behind the first album - which I still love - and it was a disaster.

I had never heard of a Snuggie until I clicked on this thread. Carry on.

Maybe you could get your marketing department to slap a Troops logo on them and sell them at the games.

This is pretty funny.

I love Weezer. I love Snuggies.

I love Weezer. I'm anti Snuggie.

Weezer collaborated with Kenny G on their most recent AOL Sessions project last month. Although Kenny has enchanting curls, I would rather spend an evening learning taxidermy than listen to his ****. Frankly, he sucks. Weezer's cool.

There are a few great Weezer songs, Hash Pipe, Pork and Beans come to mind, plus a couple from the earlier days whose names I can't remember off the top of my head. But they're the kind of band for which I'll cherry-pick songs on YouTube if I'm in the mood, but I can't listen to more than a few songs without getting bored. Listened to the first single off the new album after reading the RS article on Rivers, and it, well, bored me. I clicked off after about 45 seconds.

They were on Letterman the other night, and the whole band was wearing Weezer-brand Snuggies. Even Paul and the LN band were wearing them.

This is pretty funny.

I enjoy the (obviously superimposed) Weezer logos on the previous commercial footage.
