I quite enjoyed this. It's a very simple animation, almost a series of moving etchings, depicting just how God asked his janitor to water the Earth after it started to look a bit dirty. He turned on the waterworks then got distracted by various other chores - including double-coating Mars with red p ... aint! Anyway, clearly his Earthly business slipped his mind until God showed up again to point out it had been forty days and the whole place is flooded out! Luckily, the ark was safe and sound and now God sent his son down to share some love around the newly populated world. We all know how that turned out! The narration is wittily irreverent and it packs quite a lot into a four minutes that does raise a smile.
