Viral Marketing Agency Behind "Squatty Potty" Video is Giving Away a Free Ad Campaign

Harmon Brothers is the name of the social media ad agency that created the unforgettable Squatty Potty video spot. They've cranked out a number of other ads that also went viral (Poo-Pourri, Purple mattresses, Chatbooks, Lume deodorant), helping propel those businesses into multimillion dollar companies.


To help product companies that are struggling during the downturn, Harmon Brothers has announced they're giving away, sweepstakes-style, a $100,000 video marketing campaign. As long as you've got "a product or service that solves a real problem for real people," you're eligible to apply to their "$100K Poop to Gold Giveaway," as it's called.

Ten semifinalists will be chosen, and the Grand Prize winner gets the free campaign. But the other nine aren't left to hang: They get free coaching and/or a year of free access to the online Harmon Brothers University, where they've distilled their formula for going viral into online lessons.

Here are the details of how to enter:

A Private Jet with an Outdoor Deck

You've probably heard that America's billionaires have gotten at least $282 billion richer during the pandemic. What will they spend that extra cash on, once this is all over? Maybe this Aviro Business Jet Explorer, if BAE Systems ever makes it. The concept was developed for BAE by the British consultancy Design Q, targeting "VIP aircraft market segments."

"Pilot! Take off, then land again with the plane pointed the other way on the runway. The sun is in my face."

Yes, it's got a deployable sun deck. It looks to me like the floor slides out, though I can't fathom how those railings could be automatically deployed. Then again, if you're cruising around on a jet like this, you've probably got staff on hand who could install them manually.

There's also a little dining area for two you can set up beneath the plane.

"Pilot! How many times have I asked you NOT to test the engines whilst I'm dining!"

And don't worry--if it's raining outside, there's a weather-safe dining and lounge area inside.

How to Make the Cardboard BU Mask, Modify an Elipse Mask for Easy On/Off, and Sew a Fabric Mask with Insertable Filter


The video below features three mask tutorials. In the first, industrial designer Eric Strebel's wife shows you how to sew a pleated mask that contains a slot you can slide a filter into; then Strebel shows you how he modified his shop mask for easy on/off; finally, he runs you through making a BU Mask, which is a cardboard mask (designed by Evgeny Maslov, freely downloadble plans at the link) that can also take a replaceable filter.

Hands-Free, Reusable Shoe Covers that Automatically Wrap Around Your Feet When You Step On Them

For tradespeople, farmers and others who frequently need to cover and uncover their shoes (to protect interior surfaces from mud or worse), disposable booties are an unsustainable solution. They're also a pain to take on and off. This reusable and automatically-wrapping design seems much better:

I've been searching for something like this for a long time. On our free-range farm, I inevitably step in the shit of some animal on a daily basis, and pulling my boots off and on every time I need to go back inside to retrieve something gets old.

However, these wouldn't 100% work for my application. While getting them on looks easy, getting them off requires a fair amount of manual manipulation…

…meaning every time I removed these, I'd wind up with animal feces on my hands.

Question for you: How do you reckon these work? I figure inside the fabric is a polypropylene sheet molded into a sprung shape, with raised tunnel-like seams serving as hinges, and when you collapse the tunnels by stepping on them, the spring action is released. [Edit: I believe reader Kyle Lamson has figured it out. See his comment below.]

(Lastly, I was not able to find what company or designer invented these. There are tons of variants on the market. It's possible they were invented by a fellow named Joel Fersaci, whose Step in Sock model is featured in the video above.)

AR Cut and Paste Demo: Capture an Object With Your Phone, Throw it Onto Your Computer's Screen

In the sci-fi series The Expanse, set in the 2300s, characters carry smartphone-like devices and are often seen "throwing" data from their device onto a nearby screen for group viewing. Here in humble ol' 2020, designer Cyril Diagne has figured out how to do it, without the histrionic swiping gesture performed on the TV show, and including a capturing step:

Diagne calls it "AR Cut Paste" (though some have commented it's really copy and paste) and has made the code freely available on Github.

Watching Handrail Manufacturers Use a Special Tool to Smooth Welds is Wildly Satisfying

Handrail manufacturers often weld straight pipes to elbow connectors, then must grind the welds smooth. To speed this task, some use contraptions like this MB 650 RV product by German power tool manufacturer GeBrax, which attaches to an angle grinder to turn it into a flexible strip sander:

Other German companies, like Flex Tools and Fein, make dedicated pipe sanders:

There are also a host of sketchy-looking "As Seen on TV"-type companies flogging their own angle grinder attachments…

…but I think I'd stick with the reputable German brands.
