Baby Come Back

I was watching a swiffer commercial when the woman is using her swiffer vacuum to clean up a mess on the floor, and then she finds a trail of flowers leading the door outside. Outside she finds her old broom in a hot tub trying to seduce her and when her back, and the music "Baby Come Back" comes on. However, the woman shakes her head in disbelief and walks away. This commercial is very funny. The broom is personified as a man that has lost his girlfriend and trying to when her back my being a romantic because that is what a man would do. The woman plays the gender role of a woman that is tired of the excuses and does not want her man, "the broom," back. What I also noticed about this commercial, is that in all cleaning commercial there are always women cleaning and never a man. This says that a woman's role is cleaning and that if a woman will using the product in a commercial then she will be more likely to buy it. This also says that men do not care about cleaning because they are almost never in cleaning commercials unless they are dirtying up the home.
