Directed by Nick Piper of Backyard for Minneapolis-based agency Mithun, this lighthearted spot titled “Slant House” depicts the misfortunes and comic inconveniences that arise for a couple who built their dream house on a hill.
The incline causes their dishes to slide, drawers to fall open and vacuuming to be a most arduous chore. But thanks to their new Toro all-wheel-drive lawnmower (and the redesigned, easy to use Z Tractor), mowing their steep lawn is a piece of cake.
