Scott Awards $25,000 for Unclogging Toilet with Ski Pole

Toilet humour isn’t just the cheapest form of joke; it’s probably also the most relatable. Scott Clog Clinic, an ongoing Scott campaign meant to educate people about best toilet practices and share fun facts, just awarded a 23-year-old Pennsylvanian $25,000 for sharing his “cloggiest moment.”

In brief, said 23-year-old takes his father’s advice late one night and uses his uncle’s ski pole to get rid of a clog that won’t be moved by a plunger.

Why give the guy money? What they should have given him was film equipment. There’s nothing like watching a stressful situation like that play out on Youtube. It has all the right components: an anxious 20-something, a gigantic piece of shit and ski equipment. How did anyone avoid filming this?
