We all know that lovable Snuggle Bear from the Snuggle fabric softener commercials. He’s been with Snuggle since 1983 in a mutually lucrative relationship that I’m guessing started when both parties figured out they had the same name.

Snuggle Bear is known for his creepy obsession with softness, freshness, and cuddling; which makes him and the Snuggle brand a perfect match. But before he started working with Snuggle, his peculiarities made it hard to work for other employers.

Mattress Salesman

–Excerpt from Snuggle Bear’s 1973 conversation with the manager of a Sleepy’s mattress store–

Manager Mark: “We can’t name a mattress line after you, Snuggle.  We don’t do that and besides you’ve only been here a week.”

Snuggle: “But none of these mattresses are as soft as me!”

Mark: “Snuggle, if you don’t like any of our mattresses, why do you want to name yourself after one of our lines?”

Snuggle: “Once people lay on me, they won’t care what name is on the label.”

Mark: “…Wait.  I’m confused here. We’re talking about mattresses, right?”

Snuggle: “Do you want to lay on me, Mark?”

Mark: “What?”

Snuggle: “Come on, Mark.  You look tired.”

Mark: “Snuggle … I …  I don’t know how we got on this topic, but I’m your boss and this really isn’t appropriate.”

Snuggle: “Touch my fur.”

Mark: “Snuggle”

Snuggle: “Touch. My. Fur.”

Mark: “Th..”

Snuggle: “touchmyfurtouchmyfurtouchmyfur”

Circus Performer

–Excerpt from Snuggle Bear’s 1981 interview with Ringling Brothers Circus–

Snuggle: “Do I have to wear these chains.”

Ring Leader Drew: “You’re a bear.”

Snuggle: “Ok, but when I do the show I want to enter the ring by flying over the audience by parachute so I can yell ‘weeeeeeeeeeeeee’ all the way down.”

Drew: “You’re a bear.”

Snuggle: “And then I want to run up and down the aisles so all the kids can touch me and rub me and tell me how soft I am.”

Drew: “…”

Snuggle: “And then I want to spray perfume on the audience and sing and dance and have time for all the kids to come down and smell and perfume and get cuddles and…”

Drew: “You’ll be in a cage in the certain of the arena.  The audience can take pictures of you snarling at the bars for a few minutes and then I walk in and hit you with a stool.”

Snuggle: “These chains are hurting my fur.”

Drew: “A stool and a whip.”
