And itā€™s not just an internet ad. I was watching a syndicated repeat of Criminal Minds last night and they played it. Itā€™s pretty long for a tv commercial and pretty hilarious! ---

They were on Shark Tank. During their presentation my wife and just looked at each other with WTF faces. Lori Greiner ended up investing so I guess that proves something. What that something is Iā€™m still trying to figure out. ---

It sounds as if the people that came up with that squatty potty took a commerical hint from the makers of poo pouri. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZKLnhuzh9uY/maxresdefault.jpg "Girls Don't Poop - PooPourri.com") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKLnhuzh9uY) ---

Itā€™s not the product that stuns me. Those kind of ā€œstoolsā€ (:D) have been around forever. Itā€™s the commercial. Itā€™s more wacky than the ones for Skittles! ---

^^ You just reminded meā€“there was (might still be) a liquor called **Goldschlager** that has flecks of (possibly fake) gold in it, for, I assume, impressing your date, or something. **Pooping Glitter** [sup]TM[/sup] for that kind of girl. ---

Doesnā€™t that commercial just give away their product for nothing? Iā€™m sure I have several objects lying around that would serve instead of buying their footstool. For example, I have a footstool. ---

For example, I have a footstool. Yes, but does your footstool stow out of the way right at the toilet? I donā€™t know that that makes the product worth $25, but itā€™s a selling point. ---

Iā€™m sick of that bloody commercial! :mad: I want to watch a video, and this thing pops up. It goes on for three minutes, and you canā€™t cancel it, fast-forward it, or otherwise watch the video you wanted to watch. Thatā€™s enough to make me not buy the product, even if it was something I would buy. ---

Before reading this thread I didnā€™t have to poop. But while reading it my body was all like, ā€œHey, while weā€™re on the subject, letā€™s go poop.ā€ And I was all like, ā€œOk.ā€ ---

From what Iā€™ve seen sold on there, it proves the quote, ā€œThereā€™s a sucker born every minute.ā€ There are certainly novelty/specialty items you may never end up using, but they do have solid products too. And name brands for lower prices. I donā€™t work for QVC! šŸ™‚ ---

Itā€™s pretty long for a tv commercial and pretty hilarious! Thatā€™s hystericalā€¦! Forever more, whenever Criminal Minds is on TV Iā€™ll be wondering: Hmmmā€¦ which cast member seems the Most constipated??? Is it [Pensive Jason Gideonā€¦?](http://i.imgur.com/V2SSBH4.jpg) ~clip~ Jason Gideon- "Emerson said, ā€œAll is riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddleā€¦ā€ Is it [stern Aaron Hotchnerā€¦?](https://pmctvline2.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/cm_boxedin_sg7.jpg?w=514) ~clip~ Aaron Hotchner- ā€œLike I said, sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up whatā€™s happened that day.ā€ Is it [no-nonsense David Rossiā€¦?](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Rgk1LCaY7_Y/R5dt8ekkDCI/AAAAAAAAC9Q/A_SIPs9c5so/s400/CM3x07_00435.jpg) ~clip~ David Rossi- ā€œOh, yeah, yeah. No, Iā€™m great. Iā€™m good. Iā€™ll meet you over there in a minute, okay?ā€ If only there was a Sponsor Contest like they do on other shows _cue fade-away special effect_ * * * "And now, for our views at home, can you guess which character is on ā€œThe Squatty-Potty Squadā€ today? Dial this number if you think its Jason Gideon. Dial this number if you think its Aaron Hotchner. Dial This number if you think its David Rossi. And dial this number if you think its Spencer Reid. Weā€™ll have the results in a moment, _cue last 2 acts_ ā€œSo, if you guessed Spencer Reid, YOUā€™RE RIGHT! Spencer reid is our ā€œSquatty Potty Squad Memberā€ of the day.
