I agree that the presentation has a lot to do with the "repulsion", which btw I experienced too. It starts with the fact that the apartment is barren and unhappy looking, the man is sullen and dark eyed. In no way do you get the impression that his amorphous bean bag pet has made him happy in any way. Throw in a piano and a cello and bam!... you've got creepiness.
Now, make his apartment a fun place with a normal family, have a kid that begs for a dog and a mom and dad that say no but bring home the happy-brean bag, add some cheesy up-beat commercial music and Bam!.... You've got a solid marketing campaign. You'll sell millions I call it, the emotipet :)

HA! Perfect example of presentation. I once saw the "Cos" do standup at Eastern Michigan University. He basically sat on a stool and told stories for an hour or so. -It was great.

His story telling is genius. I have never had the opportunity to see him perform live, but I bet it is amazing. He was definitely a game changer. I have always thought that his ability to tell the story or make a joke without cursing and swearing and yet still be edgy was inspiring. It's not a knock on those that do, because I still laughed at Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, but just an increased level of respect for his talent.
On the note of Cosby and irreverence, you should check out The House of Cosby's on Channel 101. Freaking hilarious.

I used to have to go to a business networking group for a previous job. One of the people in the group was a "storyteller" by profession. Every day we'd go around the circle and let everyone there know what type of "help" we were looking for from the group. The "storyteller" was always the most tongue-tied. -I found this hilarious.
