Has anyone seen this most WEIRD commercial yet?

[Duppers]

It came on while watching MSNBC this evening. I'm still shaking my head.

1. I know! It's been out a while.

What is happening to us?

[NYETNYET]

4. Thank You

2. Thankfully, not.

I will pass on hitting the play button.

I am a pediatric nurse practitioner and I have a solemn promise to myself that I try very hard to keep - I will talk about poop at work, where I am paid to do so, but not when I am out of the office.

9. And poop talk at work is pervasive, isn't it?

I worked in a care facility a few years ago and it took some getting used to overhearing the nurses and health care aides forever discussing patients' bowel movements while I was trying to wolf down a sandwich or some reheated lasagna.

10. Lordy, yes. At the 2 week well visit, if I have a set of parents...

...who seem to have good senses of humor, I usually say, "If someone had told you 3 weeks ago, before your baby arrived, that you would be comfortable talking about poop at the dinner table, you would have said, "No way!" They all laugh, and say, "You know - that's all we talk about. "How much? What color? When was the last one?"

Some years ago, I ran into one of our patient families in the produce sedtion of the grocery store. The mom greeted me enthusiastically, and announced, "We have something to tell you!" I thought perhaps she was pregnant for a third time. Noooooooooooo. The big news - "We're potty training!" Now why she thought that was an appropriate topic for public conversation in a place where people are shopping for food is beyond me. I didn't particulary want to hear it, and I am quite sure none of the other customers did either.

12. The produce section?

There were so many visual aids handy to show you the approximate shape of the BMs with any form to them.

3. Well, that was creepy! It did make me laugh in horror a couple of times but

it still grossed me out.

What parents would allow their kids to be portrayed as literally eating shit and having their mouths wiped with TP?!

[Duppers]

7. Exactly!

Was hoping it wasn't just me.

5. Its not weird, its anatomy.

Potty jokes aside, the footrests are very common in many Asian homes. You can buy them on Amazon. They really do make a difference.

[Duppers]

11. It's wasn't the footrests

It was the first 15 seconds of poop eating...you want your child to watch this?

[Ilsa]

6. Yeah, when babies get gassy, you pump their legs,

Making sure you bring their knees up into a squat, even though they are lying down. Makes it easier for them to pass gas and poop. Easier for them, easier for me.

8. Wish I had known this 29yrs ago.

[Kimchijeon]

13. Mmm unicorn poop🌈 *LICK*

I try to avoid commercials so I hadn't seen this, but I've heard of squatty potty from podcasts.
Such a weird-ass commercial though... I actually think it's hilarious, I love it in an odd way.

But I am a weirdo, so consider the source lol

14. I saw it on their website

Considering the product, there's no way they could do a normal commercial, so I guess they decided to go maximum goofy.
