BlinkyTM (stylized as Blinky™) is a 2011 Irish-American short science fiction-horror film written, edited, and directed by Ruairí Robinson.

In the near future, where robotics have greatly evolved, Alex is looking for the normal loving family that he doesn't have - his parents are always too busy fighting with each other to worry about the effect on him.

After seeing an advertisement for a domestic robot named Blinky, he asks his parents for one for Christmas, hoping that it will bring his family together as is shown in the advert.

Eventually, Alex becomes tired of the robot and ignores him, even when Blinky persistently asks to play games.

When he notices the mess Alex has made, he gets even angrier and blames that on Blinky, so he retreats to the kitchen to "clean", counting down from 10 and grabbing an electric knife from the drawers, proclaiming, "Ready or not, here I come!"
