Not sure where the humour was, unless, that is, that you wanted to laugh at making grown men cry in despair... ;) :P

Haha, funny graph "turn the pc off and back on again."

I think the humor was that a big government think-tank thought that would be an effective commercial to interest girls/women in science, all while portraying women as stereotypically interested in only fashion and sexiness and makeup.

Yes, I think @Deozaan has it right.
The humour is in that it is the second recent example of an expensive EU PC propaganda FAIL, pushing a PC feminist and "gender-balanced" ideology.
They apparently pulled it after a solid wall of negative feedback.
They pulled the previous one a couple of months back - another epic FAIL - which was pushing the same PC feminist and "gender-balanced" ideology.
The thing is, the sexes must be equal, you see, though, annoyingly, Nature seems to have mucked that up a bit.
I read somewhere recently that the EU Commission have apparently scheduled another "gender-balanced" video which encourages men to have a recently-perfected transformational surgery which enables men to bear children.
