I just saw the commercial on our local tv station, not on my computer here---I have to say that it is a lot funnier or maybe "cuter" in real live hdtv big screen/sound etc. But still, I don't think I'd nominate it for a Clio. The only stuff I watch on YouTube is the stuff that railfans or friends forward to me which is how I saw this in the first place.
