Singing Sushi Shows Off Some Raw Talent
Do kiddies have to be coaxed into eating sushi in Japan? I wouldn't think so, but if the aim of this live-action, singing sushi show is to persuade peeps to push their palates in the raw direction, then this is a gamble. I personally don't want to see the contents of my meal get up and into a chorus line, but the personification of uncooked food is a widespread marketing trend nowadays.
No False Promises Here
The commercial opens with a chubby old dude jumping rope on a tropical beach while dressed in a pink, two-piece workout outfit. Is it not obvious? It's straight out of Japan, which means it's only gonna get better from here — or worse, depending on your tolerance for improbable body morphing, unwarranted sex changes, and other forms of "creative" advertising.
Chimp Kicks Butt Playing Jenga
We've encountered Old McChimpanzee before. He's the overall-clad little guy who got punk'd by a couple of heartless bastards a few months back. But it's his turn to show everyone who's boss now.
Much Ado About Cockroaches
I have no idea what this sales dude is saying, but the fact that he's pelvic thrusting down a roach-ridden back alley is telling enough. Somebody needs to advise homeboy huffer here to use the cockroach spray as directed. What else would explain this kind of enthusiasm over a widespread roach infestation problem?
"We Are the World" Gets Owned by Japanese Impersonators
These folks definitely did their homework. Watch a group of Japanese impersonators re-create the 1985 "We Are the World" music vid, featuring Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, Wacko Jacko, Lionel "Hello Helium" Richie, and others. The look, sound, and mannerisms of the impersonations are spot-on, but Cyndi Lauper is my fave.
Stand-Up Comedy in Japan Is Whack
Moob alert! If you plan to press play on the vid below, equip yourself with a pair of sunglasses and/or a blindfold now. Moob man's muffin top hasn't seen the light of the day in a half decade — so why would he go on a shirt strike now?
Live Action Spin Cycle!
Keep my whites white and color me impressed! Take a life-sized washing machine, throw a load of colorfully dressed peeps in there, put some Judo into play, and we're taking care of dirty laundry. We'd have perfection if we could add a few gymnasts into the mix — so the clothes could fold themselves too.
The Summer Olympics: Now a Stage Show!
We've seen special effects done live on stage before, but this compilation of Summer Olympic highlights is out of control. Only one person is visible throughout the entire performance, but there's a total of nine peeps on stage. They work together and flawlessly pull off one hellavuh human stage show.
Tug 'O Capture the Marshmallow
I don't know how, but Japan has outdone itself again. A contestant on this torture show must wrap a rubber band nostril harness around his head and then s-t-r-e-t-c-h to swallow a marshmallow dangling inches before him. It's like Pac-Man, but better.
Japan's Newest: 2 Drivers, 1 Car
I've seen pics of these dual-engine beasts before, but I've never actually seen one in motion. All you backseat drivers out there now have a chance to take control of the wheel, but good luck getting where you have to go. Two drivers steering one car results in a diagonal drift — which is the only way to roll, if you ask me.
