I have something similar to the Amazon one, pump vigorously & repeatedly. It's a good workout.

The Luigi one? 

No not that specific one, mine just looks like a giant bicycle pump but it works the same. There are some further down that page but I couldn't tell you which is best.

Something like this?

Yes. But to be honest, the video with the Coke bottle looked like a good idea.

If it's on the ground floor and manhole outside the toilet is full no amount of unblocking the toilet  will ever work .

If manhole full and shared drain then water company will fix it.

Boil kettle of water. put doown toilet, flush, repeat.

Or put on rubber gloves (or not) and poke around.

Anything further down, then dissasemble the pipework to fix and stop doing whatever you are doing.

All you need is some rubber gloves and an empty drinks bottle, trust me it works!

I've often found pushing a mop down a blocked toilet and then (sharply) pulling it out is effective. Might need to be repeated a few times..

Another tip for anyone who may be in lockdown without plunger or other plumbing tools.

Put the mop in a decent bin bag first to keep the mop clean.

and also if you pump it and you get the water level down but it is still blocked, pump the mop vigorously and flush it at the same time so the force of the flush and the pumping of the mop gives the blockage a double whammy.

Had a bad blockage in downstairs loo. Bought the Luigi plunger from Amazon. Cleared it in 10 seconds. Would recommend
