Description

While out of work, the robot tries the following jobs: Fast food drive-thru speaker box, shelf stacker in a convenience store, parking garage toll arm, and sign waver for 'CONDOS FOR SALE'. As the robot wanders past a construction site, an old car is tossed down a mountain of debris. This frightens the robot, awakening it from the dream it was having.

Another version aired during Super Bowl XLI, in which the robot (at the end of the dream sequence) jumps off a bridge. After complaints from suicide prevention groups, that version of the ad was pulled, and this less controversial edit took its place.
