Survey reveals Ben Stiller's wrongful flush takes the throne among toilet-related movie scenes

ORANGEBURG, N.Y., March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Award season is underway and there is a new category of film excellence to recognize. Nice 'N CLEAN® proudly awards the SecureFLUSH™ Most "Flushing Awesome" Scene in Movie History to Meet The Parents (Universal Pictures, 2000) for the scene in which Greg Focker, RN, played by Ben Stiller, flushes a broken toilet causing the septic system to overflow, blames it all on the family cat, and ruins the backyard setting for the family wedding.

A recent survey commissioned by Nice 'N CLEAN® Wipes of over 2,000 US adults, conducted by The Harris Poll, asked Americans^ƚ what the most "flushing awesome" (funny, iconic, or memorable) toilet-related movie scene of all time is. 33% of those surveyed selected Meet The Parents as a winner. Dumb & Dumber (New Line Cinema, 1994) is a close second with 31% of votes.

The full list of movies and results includes:

33% - Meet The Parents: "Did you flush this toilet?" (Universal Pictures, 2000)
31% - Dumb & Dumber: "The toilet doesn't flush" (New Line Cinema, 1994)
23% - Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery: "Who does #2 work for?" (New Line Cinema, 1997)
18% - Tommy Boy: "Tommy vs the John" (Paramount Pictures, 1995)
16% - Along Came Polly: "Praying to the porcelain god" (Universal Pictures, 2004)
15% - The Bee Movie: "Bathroom Bee Brawl – Barry Benson vs Ken" (DreamWorks Animation, 2007)
14% - other movies not listed

"Recognizing these flushing awesome scenes is a fun way to bring attention to a not-so-fun household issue," said Michael Lyons, VP of Business Development & GM of Brands, Nice-Pak. "While clogs and toilet troubles are funny on film, we dread them in real life. That's one of the reasons we've developed Nice 'N CLEAN® SecureFLUSH^TM Technology Flushable Wipes: to help reduce the fear of clogging and ensure responsible care for plumbing, septic and sewage systems."
