Japanese Windows 7 Commercial

Facepalm.

Numa Numa is (not!) the new Choco Party

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…!

Breakdancing

The dancing isn’t even bad – it’s the audience that really cracks me up.

Feline Disrespect From Behind

I think this is what passes for comedy in Japan.

Got Nuts?

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.

I want my Pocky…

They want their pocky but who takes care of what we want? – Bonus posting for G.

Assorted Japanese Commercials

Nils — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 04:53:09 +0000

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.

Potty Training Followup

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.

Calbee Potato Chips Commercial

This is… weird. I vastly prefer the other Calbee advertisement.

Wallace and Grommit meet Glico

I love Wallace & Grommit.
