I used to work in the ad business and I’m one of those people who like the commercials way better than the football during the Superbowl. That being said, it’s hard to impress me when it comes to ads. I’ve written them, I’ve produced them, I’ve (yawn) just about seen it all.
And then I accidentally ran across this ice cream-pooping unicorn on youtube.
Whomever the geniuses are who came up with this could be our modern version of Don Draper from Mad Men (which, if you’ve never watched, you’re crazy and not in a good way). I mean, I sat through the entire thing with my mouth open (but like, the good kind of WTF open mouth not the bad one), watched it again and then watched the “making of” video. I have NEVER watched a “making of” video for a commercial.
This whole 3 minute ad is simply delightful. If you’re a weirdo like me. So yes, I’m here today to recommend that you watch a unicorn eject rainbow ice cream out of his poop shoot. My boys would be so proud.
And I have to admit, I never thought there was anything wrong with the way I poop but after seeing this, I’m pretty sure my family could use a couple of squatty potties. Have you ever tried one? Do they work?
It seems they can even help with potty-training and God knows, we’ll accept any magic tricks that’ll help with that horrible process.
Anyway, enjoy the video. I refuse to even call it a commercial because it’s so awesome. I’m calling it a short film. The Oscars should be paying attention.

This AND the Twitter “I-have-poo-in-my-purse” girl all in the same week? Be still my poo-loving heart.
I started giggling as soon as I saw the email from WordPress with this post! I want a Squatty Potty in every bathroom when we get our own place. My husband showed me this last year, right around Christmas. I died laughing. We were doing a Secret Santa gift exchange with a group of friends, and he was sorely tempted to buy one of these (He didn’t, I was slightly disappointed). We got married in November, and we have a few gift cards, so I look forward to using those to get a few of these. Thanks for the laugh today – I needed it!!
