While the slightly upbeat sounds of acoustics stick with the same chord, the skunk who’s starred in programs with the same poopy premise, who’s still in the same diapers since his first big dump, makes another advertisement appearance. Barring the blue velcro shoes suited for play at the park, so too are the two year old’s clothes the same from last time as he sports a blue t-shirt and his plain pair of Sturdy Stinkers. Even the sudden shift in scenery supports this samey sentiment as the little skunk stops short of the playground and the camera cuts to a backside shot of the big-tailed boy and his big diaper, the same backside shot segueing into stinkier scenes. Showing this scheme is still the same, the tot pops a squat on the grassy terrain and the flick of his tail denotes a diaper about to be dirtied.
“Mmmmmmmmmph!”
PBLOOOOOOORMPH!!! SLUUUUUMP!!!
Doing what baby skunks have always done best, the boy packs his pampers just like in past programs as a messy mass dumps into his diaper, his large load making it sport a more than familiar fullness as it hardly hangs above the ground.
“Like the stink of those little skunks, our Sturdy Stinkers slogan isn’t changing any time soon!” says the same bubbly narrator from before.
As the shot stays on the backside of the bushy-tailed toddler whose poopy diaper has since become a staple to see, several may expect that same spiel on the strength of Sturdy Stinkers. But as the boy begins looking to his left, his green eyes widening with wonder at some sort of beautiful sight, so too does the speaker show that strength isn’t everything.
“Although, there’s something else that’s due for a change, and it’s not just this little dude’s diaper!” says the narrator with a giggle.
Moments after the speaker mentions change, the setting shifts away from sameness and delights with loads of different elements. The acoustics once content with the same chords now let livelier symphonies take the stage as drums and guitars shake things up with snappy rhythms and striking sounds. The scene that’s stayed static on the star stinker and his awestruck face quickly makes a dynamic cut to what’s caught his eye as another skunk now becomes the star of the show.
With all the lights and cameras on a little girl whose dark purples and magentas pop out on the screen, all while her purple eyes pair so nicely with this colorful complexion, it’s no surprise the boy in a full diaper finds himself so bedazzled! Not solely impressing her species, but eliciting “awwww’s” from whole audiences as well is her attire ascending from the conventionally cute to the absolutely adorable!
“Hehehehe!”
Adorning her already marvelous magenta hair is a yellow bow whose bright colors add even more cutesy vibrance to the skunk sweetly smiling and giggling as she skips along the asphalt. Adding to the toddler’s attire are a yellow skirt and shoes alongside a grass green t-shirt sporting a sunflower symbol, colorful clothing that not only suits the kid’s cuteness, but also the playful vibes of this sunny park setting.
CRINKLE! CRINKLE! CRINKLE!
But even considering the kid’s irresistibly cute charm, the biggest selling point of all is none other than the big diaper on her bottom. Although a similar size to that of the other skunk before he stank his Sturdy Stinkers, the one difference making the girl’s garment shine shows that lumpy loads aren’t the only thing to give those diapers a different look.
“That’s right! We’ve got Sturdy Stinkers in different designs!” the narrator ceremoniously states as the shot zooms in on her diaper scattered with smiling suns and sunflowers.
Exhibiting not only the bright beauty fitting of her flowery attire, but also the lively energy of such sun soaking plants, the tyke starts playfully twirling around before giving her prettily padded posterior a silly shake, for what tot wouldn’t want to flaunt such adorably designed diapers? But amidst this boisterous bottom boogie, the skunk suddenly stops her shaking and begins to bend forward, planting her hands and feet on the asphalt. Then, she starts to spread her legs wide and lift her bottom high to the sky, assuming a pose a lot of the audience doesn’t know what to make of.
Those more focused on the fours may conclude the kid’s preparing to do a somersault and add some acrobatics to her sporadic dance number. Some who believe she’s an even better acrobat may think she’s about to wow the crowd with a handstand and finish this scene with fantastic gymnastics. Or, the ones claiming the skunk’s too young to truly know such a trick may insist little kid logic led her to think simply standing with hands and feet on the floor qualifies for completing this physical feat, though still they’d applaud the toddler for trying and find her innocence most endearing.
Spectators looking into her spread stance may think the little one’s trying to look at them from under her legs, for what kid wouldn’t be amused by that topsy-turvy view? Others taking this playful stance may assume she’s doing an even sillier take on peek a boo, for it’s likely a toddler like her still loves that simple game. Or, some may think she’s just getting a good stretch, for even toddlers need their share of exercise.
Audiences analyzing the skunk’s raised rump may think she’s simply showing off her diaper some more, that it’s just another amusing way to advertise Sturdy Stinkers. Those not taking the advertising angle may assume she’s just being silly for the sake of silliness, and given her smiling face and swishing tail, it’d be fair to assume she’s just being a goofy little girl.
But, those familiar with this specific skunk know such a pose needs no kind of analysis, that it means a word that’s held weight since Sturdy Stinkers was simply an idea…..poop. The toddler’s smiling face now suddenly scrunching, her swishing tail flicking straight up, any other audience interpretation is about to be dispelled by dumpy deposits.
“Mmmmmmmmph!”
PBLAAAAAAAARMPH!!! SLUUUUUUUMP!
Dropping a bigger stink bomb than the bushy-tailed boy, her diaper slumps to the ground in seconds as she swiftly pushes several poopies into her pants, but even with this shocking and super stinky sight, the silly skunk still adds her cutesy charm to the scene.
“Poo poo!” she says in a voice so playful and innocent, showing not a single shred of shame to what little skunks like her do best.
“Yes, you bet your little skunk will look their cutest pooping their pants!” the narrator says with a laugh, solidifying that shameless sentiment while the upbeat music persists.
As the commercial’s final scene brings about a grassy background, the two skunks stare at the camera with cute smiles and stand beside two separate packs of Sturdy Stinkers, the boy being next to the blue pack of plain whites and the girl standing next to the yellow pack of prettied padding, showing acceptance to babies boasting diapers both old and new.
“Now that Sturdy Stinkers sport different looks, your bushy-tailed baby can stink with style!” the narrator says for their final remark.
“Mmmmmmph!”
PBLOOOORT!! SLUUUUUMP!!!
Right on cue, the commercial does its staple stinky send off as the two tots swiftly squat and unload, their diapers drooping down to feet while sizable solids settle. Suiting the speaker’s closing statement, the skunks add some stylistic flair after filling their pants, the girl giving a playful wink at the camera to show a toddler’s cute charm, and the boy giggling and waving at the audience to show their silly and innocent spirit.
