Nick Offerman appeared on Conan O'Brien's late night talk show so he could sell the wooden emojis that he, himself, had crafted by hand. According to the "Parks & Recreation" star, it is a "more old-fashioned, more personal, more American mode of communication."
Although it may be true that the commercial first started out as a joke, O'Brien knew a good thing when he saw one and he immediately teamed up with Tilt.com. This new collaboration was his means of producing a limited run of the high quality, yet highly impractical, emojis and selling them to any interested buyer.
Moreover, all of the proceeds from Nick Offerman's wooden emojis will be going to a fantastic cause, the Children's Defense Fund.
Fortunately, the first batch sold out very quickly. Plus, in the great capitalist tradition, O'Brien decided to produce a second batch of Nick Offerman's world's heaviest emojis for charity. For as much as $100, buyers can send someone they love an excessively heavy Smiley Face, The Cat, The Wink, Heart Eyes, and even the ever popular Pile of Poo.
Buyers who pay $300 can send their loved ones pine-based emoji sentences that will surely warm their hearts. If they are not interested in keeping a heavy emoji made of wood, they can always use them as kindling for their fireplace. Though, hopefully, Nick Offerman's creations do not receive this fate.
There is also an Andy Richter's official Certificate of Reluctant Philanthropy that will surely be effective in impressing parents and any potential dates. If hand-crafted wooden whimsy is not enough to entice possible clients to open their wallets, the said certificate will certainly do the job.
Those who want to get some of Nick Offerman's wooden emojis for themselves only have to make their way to Tilt and choose the figure that they think describes them best. Plus, now that the holiday seasons are fast approaching, the wooden items are also the perfect gifts.
