The unexpected star of Super Bowl 50: poop.
Or rather, an ad about the serious condition of opioid-induced constipation. The clip -- from AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo -- fittingly stars a man in desperate longing for a satisfying bowel movement.
And because the Internet is filled with people who find 7th grade humor hilarious, it had Twitter talking.
In short, the Internet was happy to see poop get its due.

Are you suffering from Opioid-Induced Constipation? Then might I suggest the new Quesalupa from Taco Bell. #OICisdifferent— Anthony King (@theanthonyking) February 8, 2016
