Strange and Weird (and Cool) Things from Japan
Okay, that headline was a bit inside, but I am sure my good buddy G. will appreciate the craziness of this one.
I sure hope this isn’t meant to be serious. The original was annoying enough, but had a certain unique style. This is… atrocious. If at least they had used the Choco Party girl as the lead singer…!
Only a man with balls of steel would dare play a game like that.
Or dumb Japanese men. Seriously - this has got to be a nomination for the Darwin Awards.
Here are three more weird Japanese commercials.
Pokemon Bread:
Now, Pokemon has been a global hit, proving that not only the Japanese are weird. However I think Pokemon bread would not sell here… and the voice at the very end is a classic, too.
More Pretz:
The pretz girl is always nice. Ironically, the two guys have way bigger tits than the chick… and I do find the commercial weird enough for inclusion here, even if it’s not as cool as some of the other Pretz videos.
Lemon soda:
Uhm…. right. One wonders whether to have sympathy for that lemon, or envy it. I am sure G. is in the later camp.
In October I posted a toilet training video I found on YouTube. That gem of Japanese entertainment tried to teach you and your kid how to take a dump; with a special guest appearance of Hanky-san. However, if you and/or your toddler need some further practice, they made this little toy to demonstrate the principle to your kid:
And of course it’s important to learn how to use public bathrooms, too - especially if you are stuck in Japan and get confronted by their weird domestic toilets.
Enjoy.
I thought this was actually cute:
It’s not really wacky though - so consider it a bonus. ;)
