US broadband providers Xfinity take a corporate exercise to its logical conclusion in this amusing commercial. Many offices dread 'bring your kids to work day' as an occasion which slows productivity to a standstill, but these bright young things aren't interested in living up to stereotypes.

Some fun performances from the juvenile cast add extra humour to the premise here, as teens accompanying their parents slowly begin to think they're running the show by offering their own ideas about how to provide the best service. As it turns out, some of their ideas about comprehensive coverage and fast internet speeds are already in place.

A pair of lads nattering next to the coffee machine offer a particular laugh, as a moment of parental concern about caffeine brings us out of the narrative for a second. It's a fun reminder that this heightened reality of precocious providers may not exist... but the demands they've made of the advertised network purportedly do.
