PUBLISHED SEP 3, 2018

Remember John Heder from the cult classic 'Napoleon Dynamite'? Well, he's back with unicorns, an animated one to be sure, to advertise Brigham Young University's penchant for an abundance of unicorns (get it?).

In the new animated commercial, BYU teamed up with Heder to advertise the business acumen of its university graduates.

The school is not actually talking about mythical creatures (a "unicorn" is a term for a 'private company worth a billion dollars or more' as said in the commercial) they did find the perfect actor to tackle the discussion promoting the university's reputation as a place where innovative businesses are born.
