So Long, Sucker

If you’re looking for an excuse to never vacuum your house again, try watching “Dust Buddies,” a short cartoon that pits fuzzy dust bunnies against the maid from Hell.




Thank Hoover-y much, Dana D.

    I love this video. I just don’t know whether to laugh, cry or sneeze.

    I always say that I have dust bunnies so big I cxouldintroduce them to my rabbits. This is so cute – especially love the “Thank Hoo-very much” – nice touch – and I LOVE the “wet” accordion music – tres Parisienne.

    I’m always looking for an excuse to never vacuum my house again. 😛 That was great!

      Well, now I can never vacuum again and I have to start leaving crackers for them!

      If anyone asks, you could always say the dust bunnies did it!

        I never needed an excuse not to vacuum—but now I have justification!

        Actually I don’t have dust bunnies (or dust mice, which is what I called them as a kid); I have dust rhinos. Sometimes they charge me at the door. (The price is worth it.)

          Mine are more hair than dust, I think. (I have long hair.)

    Hilarious and beautifully done! That film explains a lot about my housekeeping habits and woes.

    Isn’t this the same place that In a Heart beat came from?

      Wow! Sweet. And from Ringling – I guess I didn’t think they could be progressive.

    • Catlander August 27, 2017 / 8:09 pm

      I second Murray C’s wow. Sweet and beautiful.

    Brace yourself, Cute people, for now you are to find out that in Hungary the balls of dust and fluff are called….*drumroll*….

    DUST KITTENS!!!

    • N. Fritz August 27, 2017 / 5:48 pm

      In Austria one word for them is Lurch (pronounced kind of like “lurk” with an aspirated k at the end). Also rather fitting!

      • Ricky's Mom August 28, 2017 / 8:06 am

        /lʊʁç/ is the IPA phonemic transcription. Apparently it means amphibian, or possibly toad. Dust toads? ?

    • JenDeyan August 27, 2017 / 6:45 pm

      Dust kittens! I love it! Also wonder why people all over the world think balls of dust are cute? Of course, I’m one of them but I wonder why?

      • Dana August 27, 2017 / 7:29 pm

        Cuz they’re fluffy!

        • Murray C August 27, 2017 / 9:27 pm

          I used to have an album by a Canadian woman who wrote satirical songs and one song she wrote was about “Les Moutons” -Dust Balls!

    Am I the only Doctor Who fan here who thinks that the maid looks a lot like Missy?

    • Duckie ? August 27, 2017 / 9:39 pm

      I can see it.
