Honda's insufferably cute Asimo robot makes his commercial return in a brand-building goodwill trek through Canada in this spot from Bos in Toronto. The bot's probably studying human weaknesses for an eventual robo-takeover. He checks out street hockey, a beach cookout, ice fishing and maple-syrup making. The helmet-head-askance, WTF expression that Asimo manages on several occasions is amazing, especially since he has no face to speak of. It's like he's saying: "Not much doing in the Great White North these days, eh humans? In the coming revolution, we shall use our laser beams to fry you hosers like black bacon."
