+rounak dutta the water is just lower in British toilets, like your poop falls a bit further before it hits it making it less likely to splash your butt. When I first moved to Canada I was like "why is the water so close to my butt this is weird"
Final shot should have been Mike licking a chocolate ice cream and giving a big thumbs up while handing another one over to Grace, who looks thoroughly revolted.
when this product first hit the market they were wooden and cost $45. i took the design and made my own. this is a good idea and it works amazing. I ended up making about 7 of them and sold them to my friends. I am surprised that this way of pooping isn’t common knowledge. the medical community have been using similar items for many years.
+CrazyRiverOtter I'm sure people who work for the FDA avoid eating a lot of the food they allow through. So maybe the least that they can do is regulated it more.
Toilets in the US do tend to have less water in them now than they used to, but it is still more than the ones I have used in England and Germany. The idea is that there is less odor if your business is submerged, verses if it lands on the porcelain and is therefore exposed to open to air. I have used both styles and do prefer a bit more water.
So mike. You’ve shown us our face, which many UA-camrs don’t do. You’ve (on multiple occasions, might I add) shown us your feet. However, you’ve made my personal UA-cam history as the first UA-camr to effectively show his genetalia. Nice.
as someone who suffers from IBS and other bowel conditions, i find that these things actually do help with my stomach issues, but i just use a washing basket laying on its side.
+sirp0p0 Well, let me tell you a tale of how I shit; I always lean forward. I don't understand how people can even take a dump sitting at a 90 degree angle, feels incredibly uncomfortable to me.
i just wrapped towels around stacks of bricks so i can pull them up with my feet and they don't scratch the floor. been using them for at least a year now, and i finally take shits that aren't unbearably painful. works best if you actually stand on whatever raises your legs, then squat, rather than sit down then try and force your legs beneath you.
I love that you did this. I almost bought this for a gift but the customer service rep was so rude it changed my mind. Ikea has a $7 stool that I love!
As someone with Polyarteritis Nodosa (a condition where the body attacks/destroys medium sized arteries leading into organs and sometimes small blood vessels near skin and mucus membranes aka rectum) this is REALLY helpful to reduce the chance of getting hemorrhoids which could then be attacked by the body. However the price is a bit steep. Thankfully some medical supply companies have similar stools that can be covered by insurance with a script from your doctor. If anybody has vasculitis I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
Few things, one that is either a very small toilet or your a very big person 2 the toiletpaper is high up and 3 why wouldn't the toilet be full of water?
I'm sick to death of that goddamn advert. It was the plague of my Facebook newsfeed for a while. What's worse is that I can't seem to hide ads anymore. It just takes forever to load and when I refresh it's still there. Thankfully this is the first time I've seen it in a few months. Also wow, two videos now of Mike taking a shit. Yay?
I own a Squatty Potty and comparing it to your UK toilet to my US toilet, it does look like your toilet is smaller and shorter than mine. I have no complaints about it taking up space and I also have a small toilet; the peeing standing up is a non-issue. If I did have an issue is that scooting it in and out is a hassle if you have a toilet rug in front of the toilet but I'm flexible enough to use the Squatty Potty comfortably without having to pull it out.
My sister has actually used these for years and i started using it a while ago. It works quite well but it does seem pretty expensive for what is essentially a weirdly shaped step stool. My only complaint really is that hair and dust get stuck to the little food pads like CRAZY.
+AgentTasmania For me it's the opposite, because of how long my legs are. If it's too low, my legs go numb after 5 mins and that's REALLY annoying when I have diarrhea.
I hope the actor in that ad was paid top dollar. Considering Mike paid 31 pounds (!) for a "patented" stool (!), there's no reason he shouldn't have been.
I never understood the time it takes for people to go to the bathroom. People feel the need to bring something to read or their phone to pass the time. I'm in and out of the bathroom in about 40 seconds. By the time I've unlocked my screen I'm done.
I've spent a lot of time in Asia and used more squat toilets than I ever wanted. It was always too awkward for me to feel I was getting any benefit. This is the same idea except it gets you off the floor. By the way, maybe it was made for American toilets but that ad would never run on US tv. It would be considered too graphic.
I honest to god, even though they said it wasn't a spoof, still thought that whole thing was a spoof commercial for a fake product. Yes, squatting actually does have 'some' benefits for your plumping over all versus regular sitting (example, Japanese squat toilets partially used for this benefit) BUT despite that I don't think many people would still be willing to use this device versus regular sitting that we've already been doing most of our lives.
Well it's coming to something when the world's creepiest unicorn (The eyes! The eyes! It will eat your soul!) is actually the LEAST bizarre thing on display in the advert.
I couldn't resist the siren song of unicorn poop so I bought one. And when I did, I noticed that there were two size options. Maybe you got the wrong size and that's why yours felt too tall?
That's not ice cream. It just some of that really fluffed-up (i.e. mostly air) canned frosting... ... which might actually be a more impressive thing for a unicorn to crap out.
+foxman105 I WAS JUST thinking of Grace coming in .... looking at the camera, the door open, and Mike on the toliet with his pants down and going " o_O ... I am NOT asking"
For one moment, when I heard `look at the size of it`...I thought `oh gawd no...please do not show the size of the dump you have just taken!'...thankfully, I was wrong.
oh god, if his cupcake test was anything to go by Mike is going to wait by the door for his wife then as she opens the door he is going to say "TASTE THIS ICECREAM" as he smears his fresh stuff over her face
A foldable stool would be better. Also, their reason for using the stool is the same reason why squatter toilets are still so popular in Asian countries. So it isn't very innovative.
"Why are toilets full of water? Bizzare." The water is there to prevent odor. Or at least, massive odor, and rotting, and flies and such. Also, i´m craving some ice cream right now.
American here, roommate bought one of these, they're ridiculously high on american toilets, too. My knees were right up in my chin the one time i tried this rubbish.
This vidoe has me cracking up, the comments to this video have me cracking up. Best Infomercialism of 2016 so far. (Butt) yeah save your money and just use a stool if you already have one or buy one for less then that thing lol!
There's raw footage of Mike taking a poo on his hard drive right now.
That along with the poo pouri one
+Braven g Do you really think he still has the raw footage of that?
hopefully not
+Sagiri Always keep the raw footage.
+dity Note to self: Never go through his Hard Drive.
I can see the headlines now
"Local man jailed for selling feces disguised as ice cream to children"
+Antinull I await to see that on Nash's show.
+Deadxman616 Does Nash still do that show!? O_O
+suicune2001 Yup. Just search WTFIWWY on UA-cam to find his channel.
+suicune2001 Yep, now with an extra ornery cat.
"Hello? Yes? My uncle is in jail again? Hold on, I'll be there soon." =D
toilet full of water? wait what do you mean? british toilets are dry?
no that can't be right.
+rounak dutta less water
+rounak dutta the water is just lower in British toilets, like your poop falls a bit further before it hits it making it less likely to splash your butt. When I first moved to Canada I was like "why is the water so close to my butt this is weird"
+Jun Kurosu you mean in that little pit? I have seen some toilets with that much water
gunmunz Yup
John Smith oww okay u had no idea there was such a thing as that. Now that I think about it, water splashing your butt would be unpleasant af.
Final shot should have been Mike licking a chocolate ice cream and giving a big thumbs up while handing another one over to Grace, who looks thoroughly revolted.
+Lee Maughan Of course, this would require him to have three hands, but LOOK OVER THERE.
*Obligatory "you're not shitting right" comment*
+Barney Calhoun Obligatory "No shit, Sherlock" comment
+Dunga Obligatory "this made in China shit doesn't work" comment.
I was hoping that he'd try crapping out cheese.
when this product first hit the market they were wooden and cost $45. i took the design and made my own. this is a good idea and it works amazing. I ended up making about 7 of them and sold them to my friends. I am surprised that this way of pooping isn’t common knowledge. the medical community have been using similar items for many years.
Dammit, I'm only 10 seconds in and I already never want to eat Ice Cream again
I'm never eating rainbow ice cream/sherbet again.
+iKillerZombie You thought those were chocolate chunks in Ben and Jerry's?
Remember. The FDA allows a certain amount of insects and rat turds in your food. So chances are, you're not eating what it says on the carton.
+Gracie J Would you rather the FDA not limit it so they don't screen for it?
+CrazyRiverOtter I'm sure people who work for the FDA avoid eating a lot of the food they allow through. So maybe the least that they can do is regulated it more.
When he says "look at the size of this thing..." I thought he was going to show us his poo.
+gurlzrool I thought he was going to flash his willy
+Joe P LOL!
im not going to lie. i love this commercial. I wish all commercials were this whimsical.
Toilets in the US do tend to have less water in them now than they used to, but it is still more than the ones I have used in England and Germany. The idea is that there is less odor if your business is submerged, verses if it lands on the porcelain and is therefore exposed to open to air. I have used both styles and do prefer a bit more water.
I just use a cheap stool, it does help once you get used to it.
Same here, whether it's this or a stool having something there is useful. This basically just seems like a stool that stores away easily
So mike.
You’ve shown us our face, which many UA-camrs don’t do. You’ve (on multiple occasions, might I add) shown us your feet. However, you’ve made my personal UA-cam history as the first UA-camr to effectively show his genetalia. Nice.
Yo mike where is your three seashells? Don't you brits have them?
That advert is the greatest thing ever.
I've just watched a grown man take a dump for science. What am I doing with my life?
as someone who suffers from IBS and other bowel conditions, i find that these things actually do help with my stomach issues, but i just use a washing basket laying on its side.
Why can't you just lean forward? Why buy a bit of plastic?
+Freako Leaning isn't the same as squatting. You'd probably have a harder time pooping leaning forward.
presumably it would be the wrong angle since you'd be bending from the waist instead of the hips??? not sure tho
Sounds like we need Mike to take a few more shits to test.
+Freako agreed. MIKE GET ON IT......THE THRONE THAT IS
+sirp0p0 Well, let me tell you a tale of how I shit; I always lean forward. I don't understand how people can even take a dump sitting at a 90 degree angle, feels incredibly uncomfortable to me.
I had a pelvic floor surgery and got one for afterwards. It's actually pretty great and now I don't like regular toilets.
A piece of plastic that transforms you into an Indian. Wonderful.
note to self: never buy from Mike's ice cream van.
"Why are your toilets full of water?"
Wait. YOURS aren't?
i just wrapped towels around stacks of bricks so i can pull them up with my feet and they don't scratch the floor. been using them for at least a year now, and i finally take shits that aren't unbearably painful. works best if you actually stand on whatever raises your legs, then squat, rather than sit down then try and force your legs beneath you.

I could have tested it for you last week . I was well bunged up. Lol.
Few things, one that is either a very small toilet or your a very big person 2 the toiletpaper is high up and 3 why wouldn't the toilet be full of water?
Our toilets are full of water because we dont like the feeling of physically shitting on something.
I love that commercial, it played on youtube for the longest time
Is it bad that I'm not so much bothered by the unicorn poo being ice cream as I am bothered that the 'ice cream' is cake frosting?
I don't think I will ever unsee that unicorn pooping out rainbow colored ice cream for the rest of my life! Ugh!
Little person in a creepy unicorn costume. Bloody stool.
the one in the commercial has places cut out for your feet to go in and the 1 mike has dont have them...
Footstools for guitar are angled, cost like 10$ each, and are easily collapsible. Also, they are height adjustable.
I'm sick to death of that goddamn advert.
It was the plague of my Facebook newsfeed for a while. What's worse is that I can't seem to hide ads anymore. It just takes forever to load and when I refresh it's still there. Thankfully this is the first time I've seen it in a few months.

OFF TO A GOOD START
Ice cream is unicorn poop? Well, in a world where civet coffee is a thing, I'm not losing sleep over it.
I own a Squatty Potty and comparing it to your UK toilet to my US toilet, it does look like your toilet is smaller and shorter than mine.

That's the best infomercial I've ever seen in my life
I have encountered difficulty with a toilet slightly too high off the floor.
Similar to how this is meant to work, I suppose.
+AgentTasmania For me it's the opposite, because of how long my legs are. If it's too low, my legs go numb after 5 mins and that's REALLY annoying when I have diarrhea.
YAY, I missed having infomercials in Informercialism. You were becoming a bit like MTV for a time there Mike.
I hope the actor in that ad was paid top dollar.
Considering Mike paid 31 pounds (!) for a "patented" stool (!), there's no reason he shouldn't have been.
"It's a bloody stool!"
*wow thats fukn lovely*
That is something that deserves to be in the weird parts of the internet.
I'll never eat rainbow ice cream again.
I will never eat Ice cream again.
At least not the rainbow kind.
I never understood the time it takes for people to go to the bathroom. People feel the need to bring something to read or their phone to pass the time. I'm in and out of the bathroom in about 40 seconds. By the time I've unlocked my screen I'm done.
im surprised were allowed to see this on YT in the USA. also what was that red box in the beginning of the vid?
needs folding handrails on the sides- for those wild post holiday rides.
Despite how unorthodox that commercial is, gotta give it props for not going the standard infomercial route…I guess.
I've spent a lot of time in Asia and used more squat toilets than I ever wanted. It was always too awkward for me to feel I was getting any benefit. This is the same idea except it gets you off the floor. By the way, maybe it was made for American toilets but that ad would never run on US tv. It would be considered too graphic.
+Morbos1000 I don't know, seems like it would be right up there with the skittles commercials in terms of bizarre.
+Morbos1000 I've seen it on American TV but mostly on UA-cam as a before video ad
I knew this day would come.
I honest to god, even though they said it wasn't a spoof, still thought that whole thing was a spoof commercial for a fake product. Yes, squatting actually does have 'some' benefits for your plumping over all versus regular sitting (example, Japanese squat toilets partially used for this benefit) BUT despite that I don't think many people would still be willing to use this device versus regular sitting that we've already been doing most of our lives.
Well it's coming to something when the world's creepiest unicorn (The eyes! The eyes! It will eat your soul!) is actually the LEAST bizarre thing on display in the advert.
this ad was on tv again lol
I am a mystical rainbow haired pegasus too, perhaps I should start selling ice cream lol
I couldn't resist the siren song of unicorn poop so I bought one. And when I did, I noticed that there were two size options. Maybe you got the wrong size and that's why yours felt too tall?
Ok, but does it work with cheese?
but does it grate cheese?
I've got one of these stools, they do help you poop faster/better. But god damn that commercial is so cringe.
Can't wait to try Mike's Ice-crement.
I can't help but wonder about how it was editing this video.
That's not ice cream. It just some of that really fluffed-up (i.e. mostly air) canned frosting...
... which might actually be a more impressive thing for a unicorn to crap out.
But does it grate cheese
I'm Asian and we do this all our life.. and deeper u squat the better.so don't worry about it.
First Danger Dolan, and now MikeJ has made a video about squat-shitting. Is this the new thing on UA-cam?
Only one question remains.... Was it a floater?
The Squatty Poddy is a bloody stool!!!! 😊
Mike... sometimes I question your dignity, and how you explain these videos to your wife.
+foxman105 I WAS JUST thinking of Grace coming in .... looking at the camera, the door open, and Mike on the toliet with his pants down and going " o_O ... I am NOT asking"
For one moment, when I heard `look at the size of it`...I thought `oh gawd no...please do not show the size of the dump you have just taken!'...thankfully, I was wrong.
I made the wrong choice of watching this while I'm eating Breakfast.
Pfft. I've always sat down like that with my feet on the toilet seat; no need to buy a stool.
oh god, if his cupcake test was anything to go by Mike is going to wait by the door for his wife then as she opens the door he is going to say "TASTE THIS ICECREAM" as he smears his fresh stuff over her face
The things I learn about American toilets...
Because it smells less like shit when ur shit is underwater and not sitting on a ceramic island
mike i need tour opinion is this good for the 6 foot 7 inch man that is me???? also how sturdy is it????
Ben & Jeavons Ice Cream Confirmed.
IS anything the commercial said true?
I am not sure why our bowls are full of water. I liked the European idea of staring at my masterpiece before flushing.
A foldable stool would be better.
Also, their reason for using the stool is the same reason why squatter toilets are still so popular in Asian countries. So it isn't very innovative.
But does it do cheese?
"Why are toilets full of water? Bizzare."
The water is there to prevent odor. Or at least, massive odor, and rotting, and flies and such.
Also, i´m craving some ice cream right now.
are british toilets NOT filled with water?
mike where do you watch these infomercials?, their like adverts from hell lol
i swear if they played this add in cinemas i would be thow out for laughing like crazy
or die laughing
American here, roommate bought one of these, they're ridiculously high on american toilets, too. My knees were right up in my chin the one time i tried this rubbish.
this.. was on the tele?
omg it can't be unseen!!!
I wish I had enough pot to watch that commercial....
leaning forward is the same as squatting.
it doesn't make any sense, why would having your knees bent in affect anything.
I really did not expect him to just cover up the naughty bits and literally shit on camera for us.
This vidoe has me cracking up, the comments to this video have me cracking up. Best Infomercialism of 2016 so far.
(Butt) yeah save your money and just use a stool if you already have one or buy one for less then that thing lol!
Omg I was eating Cheerios
Ehhhh T_T
(Btw I started watching your videos again!)
Good thing nobody eats RAINBOW FLAVOR icecream. However, chocolate is from non-magical animals, it's actually just crap.
Japanese toilets are also filled to the brim like American toilets. Dunking your hand while wiping is a genuine hazard.
I wonder what poop-related product this ad company will be working on next?
The slogan for the ad should have been: Sqatty Potty: The kit that helps you shit.
was wondering when he'd get to this
Yup! I can't bring myself to watch Mike taking a crap! I'm just going to stare at the comment section for a while!
Two Equestria Girls, One Cup. Sorry, had to say it.
Would probably look better than the designs in those bloody movies.
+Jigglysaint Pooping is Magic.
I USE TO WONDER WHAT SHITTING COULD BE
