What does a scoop plunger look like....? :confused:
Newb has one in his picture, but plunger should be at least twice that size so that you get really good suction. That's what will move things along. Once plunger is down over the drain, compress it down into the toilet and then flush. Then start moving the plunger up and down few times forcefully, but not too vigorously or your be splashing everywhere. Then lift the plunger out of the water to allow air to enter the underneath of the plunger to create an airbubble that will help to push things along and start plunging again. It may take awhile, but unless something was put down there, this should work. If you your toilet is overflowing, bail it into your bathtub and wash it down, unless it's "cloudy" and you may want to dump it outside.

Is this your house or are you renting?
