That sounds like a typical kid. The 'Linux' in the commercial is being
taught by some of the leading experts in the world but he doesn't
smile, ask a question or even blink. Is he supposed to be a robot, an
alien, or just catatonic?

I think it's great that Linux finally has commercials but these are
just too weird. They don't make me want to try Linux. What's wrong with
happy penguins?
Nobody doesn't like penguins.
