A young boy living in the near future looks for an escape from a home with arguing parents. As a way to cope with the recent arguments from his parents he receives a robot companion that he ends up abusing.

You told me you'd be there for me!

Calm down, just calm down, calm down!

Tired of blisters on your fingers?

Need a helping hand at home?

You need Blinky!

Hi, my name's Blinky.

The household robot with a mind of its own.

He's a servant, a helper, and a friend

Kids are gonna love Blinky and you will too!

Blinky is so helpful around the house, it's brought us together and made us closer as a family.

He's my new best friend!



He's just like one of the family.

All my friends have one...

Hi honey what's going on?

I know what I want for Christmas.

Hi, my name's Blinky...

...and I just want to be your friend.

Will you be my friend?

It's officially the best Christmas ever.

I'll never get sick of him.

You have to do everything I say, I own you!

No problem.

What use are you anyway? All you're good for is cooking and cleaning and playing stupid games!

Can you make my parents stop fighting? Can you do that?

No problem.

I could tell you to kill everybody, and you'd just stand there blinking like an idiot!

No problem.

What does it matter? Go on...

Kill my parents, kill me.
- No problem.

Blinky's broken.

No problem, no problem, no problem, no problem...

What did you do to him?

I didn't do anything, I think he's broken or something.

We need to get a new one.

Just turn him off and turn him back on again.

And if you make another mess like that I'm going to make Blinky clean and cook you for dinner.

I didn't do it, Blinky did it!

Don't start with me, I am not in the mood.

Clean it up!

No problem, no problem, no problem, no problem...

Hi my name's Blinky and I just want to be your friend.

Will you be my friend?

Go on, do as you're told.
Clean it up!

I just want to be your friend.

I did what you asked
Did I do good?

I just want to be your friend.

Lets be frrrrieeeends...

I don't trust him.

I don't understand you Alex.

Why would he hurt Rosie?
It makes no sense.

I just don't trust him.

Why won't you believe me?

Because you're bored with him and you're just trying to make us buy a newer one, that's why.
