What aspect of American society does this clip satirize?

This clip of video shows how Americans in general are becoming more and more reluctant to do more than what is being asked. In the clip Colbert says that with the snuggie, it was "too much" work when in reality it is not. Americans can't even be bothered to put on their pants and have to rely on the Forever Lazy. This clip shows how Americans has increasingly become more and more anti-social with every new innovation. They use the Forever Lazy for an example in the clip but if you think about how lazy and anti-social we are, it may be surprising. For an example drive-thrus are probably America's laziest and anti-social "invention" because you just sit in your car and order through a system not even face to face.
America has been increasingly buying all in one types of product as you see in the clip, the Forever Lazy and perhaps shampoo with conditioner in one. As we rely on these convenience products, we may be losing our values and probably even our health. I say that because convenience is just another form of lazy.
