Singing Sushi Shows Off Some Raw Talent

GiggleSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:00:00 -0700

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. (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

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. All this to sell a stinking bottle of hornet juice . . .

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. Jenga is the name of the game, and when he's not trying to make a move on the cutie next to him, our chimp plays a mean game. It's all in the hands, baby, all in the hands . . .

Much Ado About Cockroaches

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:45:00 -0800

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

GiggleSugar — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:00:00 -0800

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. Her vocals sound like a car with worn brakes screeching to a ~~halt~~ crash - just like the good ol' days . . .

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? It beats me, but I do think a refrigerator and a box of magnets would do wonders for his social life.

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!

GiggleSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:00:00 -0800

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. Need I mention that this is straight outta Japan? Surprise, surprise.

Thanks, Japan Probe!

Tug 'O Capture the Marshmallow

GiggleSugar — Sun, 06 Jan 2008 01:00:00 -0800

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. Hello - dangling marshmallows?!

Japan's Newest: 2 Drivers, 1 Car

GiggleSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 11:00:00 -0800

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. Who needs direction anyway?
