I saw this on TBS on World’s Funniest Commercials. I did not find the commercial funny.

And that background is the fine Australian city of Melbourne. Which I think would make Melbourne the most featured Australian city on Neatoland by miles.

You see, you should skip Sydney.

Also, isn’t this a wee bit uncanny valley?

This is a MAJOR bit uncanny valley! This commercial creeps me out, but it’s something that everyone’s mother would love, so I’m guessing it was spread by chain letters.

I think it’s pretty cute and fairly clever, though I would agree with NeonCat that it isn’t particularly funny.

Not funny. Vaguely cute, but rings too much of decapitated babies (as the rest of their bodies are CG).

Just to verify, I don’t think it’s funny, but it does bring a smile to every face I’ve seen watch it. Cute here, funny there.
