You knew Princess Unicorn would have her own site, right?
Don’t miss the photos! — her horn seems to pierce more than the sky …

Even after trying to explain to my five-year-old that it’s all a joke, she declared, “I want to have one!”
I made a replica of the Princess Unicorn – even did the box art:

Barbie doesn’t stand a chance this Christmas!
I’m trading in the Wii I bought for one of these!
Tickle Me Elmo never knew a mad rush like
this horny babe!
Big whoop. I saw a real girl with a horn on her forehead in Hotlanta.

Does anyone know if they are actually selling princess unicorns? It’s not in the shop section. seriously, though. best. gift. ever. ha

Serenity by Jan. Dunder Mifflin. These are all fake, it’s TV. If they were to replace ‘Princess Unicorn’ with Barbie, then it’s nothing more than Product Placement.
I’d rather them make up a funny toy to make me laugh, then get paid to place products in their show to try and get me to buy them.
28, Jon-
This site was created as an addendum to the joke, not to make the original joke work.
In addition, creating their own toy only led to one joke: Michael knowing the tagline. Everything else, from Dwight stockpiling, to customers buying them, to Toby and Darryl’s interaction could apply to any toy. Creating their own just gave the writer’s unlimited leeway potential, and probably saved a few bucks.
I think the fact that the writers had to create a fake product and a fake catch phrase exemplifies why this show isn’t rooted in reality anymore. This isn’t 30 Rock — so I was a bit surprised when an obviously fake product was introduced as a laugh. The Office I knew would’ve found something that existed within our culture. Very disappointing.
This was hysterical! Definitely the best thing about last night’s episode. #12 ThatsWhatISaid — awesome picture!
As I was looking at the Princess Unicorn site my 6 yr old walked by, she froze and said “Wow! Mom that is a COOL Barbie! She is a princess and a unicorn!”
HAHA!
Then as I went to get her little sister out of the high chair I found her at the computer staring at princess unicorn. She’s sold!
Before she could ask for one for Christmas I broke the news that she wasn’t real.
LOL! She made my morning!
Love Creed’s photo..and Toby’s testimonial! Wonderful idea, and great entertainment until January 15!
I love the testimonials:
I wish I was Princess Unicorn.
- Kelly Kapoor
The people from Toys-For-Tots were very excited to get it.
- Toby F.
I love that her magical powers “help her write for her school newspaper.”
Her horn seems to pierce more than the sky, Tanster?
That’s what she said!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to finally choose a name for my office tally comments. Thanks you, Princess Unicorn!
Great site.
Sadly, it’s much better than the episode.
#14 – actually there is an update tonight on the wedding site! The Ceremony! Poor Andy still oblivious :(
That was definitely unexpected… I have to say that I’m happy Andy wasn’t in the room when Phyllis decided to spout off. That would have been WAY too sad. I think the other employees already had an idea about what was going on [like Jim said], so the fact that Andy didn’t have to find out was nice.
