  • (udder boinging)

  • - (both) WHAT?!

  • - What? No! - No!

  • - What on earth?

  • ♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

  • - (FBE) So over the years, we've done a few episodes

  • on Japanese commercials

  • - I think I did one of these once.

  • I had no idea what was going on.

  • - (FBE) And even one of them even featured both

  • American and Japanese YouTubers,

  • and we got to see different perspectives and different cultures,

  • with the YouTubers from the U.S. finding

  • some of the Japanese commercials strange, and those from Japan

  • feeling like some of the commercials were totally normal,

  • and even said that some of our commercials from the U.S.

  • were the ones that were big and loud and weird.

  • - Are you gonna show me some Japanese commercials?

  • - When I first moved to America, especially on the radio,

  • I feel like American commercials are so risky.

  • - (FBE) Today, we're going to be showing you

  • some more Japanese commercials and see what you think.

  • - I'm so ready! - I'm so excited!

  • - I've seen my fair share of these, so I'm kind of excited.

  • - They're so weird.

  • I've seen one in my life and I never looked back.

  • - (FBE) So after each video, we're gonna have you

  • rate them on a scale of 1-5, based on how creative

  • and different you thought they were. - "Creative and different."

  • - Get your Creative Different Hat on. - Okay.

  • (clicking tongue) It's on.

  • (phone ringing)

  • - (cracking up) What?

  • - The placement of the mouth, though.

  • - (both) It's Domino's Pizza!

  • - He's making a pizza. I like this.

  • - He's, like, spawning things out of his hand.

  • - ♪ (singing continues) ♪

  • - I want pizza now.

  • - I want to get pizza after this.

  • - "De ki ta." - What is going on, dude?

  • - (chuckling) - Wait...

  • - What?

  • - There's a rave on the pizza.

  • - This is why I want to go to Japan.

  • - Wow.

  • - ♪ (singing in Japanese) ♪

  • - There's a lot happening here.

  • - I can't with this.

  • - I'm kind of over this already. I'm not gonna lie.

  • - I'm so lost.

  • - I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

  • - ♪ Domino Pizza

  • - (mimicking) ♪ Domino Pizza

  • - That was kind of twisted.

  • If you think about it, all the animals

  • coming out of the oven singing, but they're actually the meat.

  • - (FBE) So on a scale of 1-5, how creative and different was that?

  • - One... as in I could absolutely see that playing here.

  • - That's a five.

  • Whoever came up with that has a very wild imagination.

  • - Five.

  • - Four... because it was really funky and really out there.

  • - This is kind of weird. I'd give it a two.

  • - Three.

  • - I'm gonna go a solid four.

  • - Four. - I would say four, too.

  • - Four.

  • - Three, just because, eh, it was okay.

  • - Four. I just can't imagine somebody from Domino's being, like,

  • "Hmmm, some animals singing on some pizza. Sure, yeah!"

  • - (speaking in Japanese)

  • - Oh, yes!

  • - Oh!

  • - What is going on?

  • - Is this Power Rangers?

  • - "U.F.O." I wonder what that brand is.

  • - I have no idea what they are trying to advertise here.

  • - Are those these instant noodle bowls,

  • because I love them.

  • - Is this a ramen commercial?

  • - Mastodon! Pterodactyl!

  • - (speaking in Japanese)

  • - Ha!

  • - (speaking in Japanese)

  • ♪ (high energy action music) ♪

  • - This is really creative, too.

  • - Wow, this is a lot.

  • - What?! - Sweet!

  • - A man just turned into a motorcycle.

  • - (laughing) What?!

  • (motor revving) - Jeez.

  • - Yo, I called it!

  • - For noodles? Come on, y'all.

  • - I need to get that ramen.

  • That was another five.

  • - I'd give that a two.

  • It didn't get to the main thing until the very end.

  • - Five. - I'd say five.

  • - Five, for sure. - I don't think you'd see that here.

  • - Three for creative.

  • - Two, purely because its plot was a little contrived.

  • - A four.

  • - A solid three.

  • If that aired in the U.S., ramen sales would go through the roof.

  • - I'll give you a three on that one.

  • - Five.

  • - I'd give it a four. - I'd give it a one...

  • because I've seen a lot of, you know,

  • Voltron, Power Rangers-esque stuff here.

  • - I thought it was very original.

  • - I liked it. - Well, good.

  • - Agree to disagree.

  • - (man snoring)

  • - Oh, hey, me in school.

  • - ♪ (singing softly in Japanese) ♪

  • - ♪ (singing continues) ♪

  • - Take a breath mint. ♪ (metal music) ♪

  • OH! - ♪ (growling music) ♪

  • - (laughing) What the heck?

  • - (cracking up) Yes! Yes!

  • - ♪ (growling vocals) ♪

  • - (laughing)

  • - (gasping)

  • - I feel so bad for him right now.

  • - What on earth?

  • - Oh, no.

  • - I love this. This is the best one yet.

  • - (announcing in Japanese) - ♪ Glico

  • - Yeah, I ain't eating that.

  • I don't want some lady screaming at me

  • with a lightening bolt on her forehead. No!

  • - I feel like all the 5 Gum commercials were super inspired

  • from stuff like this.

  • - Four. - I'd give it just a four.

  • That was creative. I liked it.

  • - That's a three.

  • I mean, I got that one way more than the last one.

  • - I'd give that one a three.

  • - I would also give it a three.

  • - I'd say four. - Four. Four.

  • - Once he put the gum in his mouth, I was like,

  • "Okay, he's in heaven," and then just, like...

  • crazy woman screaming in your face.

  • Five.

  • - I'll give you a five on that one.

  • - There was lots of screaming and she was scary,

  • so that one was a three.

  • - Four.

  • I don't think in Canada or America,

  • they'd be like, "Yes, you can torture this person

  • and that will sell the product."

  • - Three.

  • There's a lot easier ways to be woken up

  • then to be electrocuted by some lady yelling in your face.

  • ♪ (serene music) ♪

  • Cows!

  • - (voice-over continuing)

  • - (both) Oh!

  • - Oh, that-- okay. (laughing)

  • I did not see that coming.

  • - Is it for milk? Yes.

  • - Oh, that's just weird.

  • - You know, a normal day in Japan.

  • - This is some creative ass shit. Wow.

  • - He looks confused-- - I am also confused.

  • - (voice-over speaking Japanese)

  • - "Let's get some milk, guys! Come on!"

  • - No. No, it is not gonna fall into their glass from the U.F.O.

  • It is NOT going to do that.

  • - No. - No.

  • - No! - No.

  • (udder boinging)

  • (udder boinging) - (both) WHAT?!

  • - What? No! - No!

  • - What the hell?!

  • - Oh, no. Inappropriate.

  • - Oh, it went perfectly into the glass. Thank goodness.

  • - Don't drink it. Please don't drink--

  • oh, you drank it.

  • - (voice-over speaking Japanese)

  • ♪ (pleasant chime) ♪ - Mm-mm!

  • Mm-mm, okay... (laughing) ew!

  • - (laughing) - (squealing)

  • - Wow.

  • - Any time that happens, that should not be treated

  • that casually. And they drank it!

  • - Five. - Yeah.

  • - My God, I want that milk.

  • - A solid five.

  • - Five! - Definitely a five.

  • - Five, just because I was not expecting the udder nipple

  • to just be all up in my face.

  • - Because it is creative, I will rate that a five.

  • Did I enjoy it? Not that much.

  • - Four. It was a little too much.

  • I don't need to see that much.

  • - Three, just because minus the U.F.O. nipple,

  • everything else was probably okay.

  • - Four in creativity.

  • - Five, for me. A solid five.

  • - I'll give it a four.

  • Weirdly, I actually liked that commercial.

  • - Aliens delivering milk to children from a giant floating udder?

  • It's pretty creative.

  • - ♪ (singing in Japanese) ♪

  • - Is this-- - It's Choco Balls.

  • - (man) Yo. - (imitating commercial) Yo!

  • - ♪ (singing in Japanese) ♪

  • (spring boinging)

  • - (man) Eh? - (mimicking) Eh?

  • - (mimicking) Yeh? I'm liking this a lot.

  • - Are these chocolate eggs?

  • - ♪ (singing in Japanese) ♪

  • - (singing along) ♪ Choco BallThat was catchy.

  • - Oh, again? Oh, there's another one?

  • - What? - There's more!

  • - This is great.

  • (lion snoring)

  • Gotta get quiet around a lion.

  • - Perfect.

  • - And then they disappear into the sky.

  • - Oh, no! (giggling)

  • - Oh, they're in space.

  • - ♪ (singing in Japanese) ♪

  • - Ah! He got that one.

  • - Why do I feel like they're in the same [bleep] U.F.O.

  • from the udder nipple?

  • (spring boinging)

  • - It's adorable! I love this.

  • - ♪ (singing continues) ♪

  • - Have we ever tried these when we were in Japan?

  • - No. - I want to try them now.

  • It's very effective.

  • - Only problem is that when I have one of those chocolate eggs,

  • I'm gonna be thinking of those guys' faces on it.

  • - I don't really have any words for that.

  • (humming tune)

  • - (both) ♪ Choco Ball

  • - A two. - A hard one.

  • - Wow. - One.

  • This was my least favorite advertisement.

  • They tried too hard.

  • - Two.

  • It's very similar to some animations like Robot Chicken

  • and things like that.

  • - I'd give it a three.

  • - Five. - Five, for sure.

  • - I would say all of them are four or five.

  • - (both) You just don't see that.

  • - Three. - That was also a five for me.

  • - No! More so than U.F.O. udder?

  • - Five.

  • - Two. I liked that one even less than the nipple atrocity

  • that I had to sit through.

  • - Five. I don't even see them as advertisements.

  • It's just, like, what the [bleep] videos.

  • - Three. It was creative, but I also feel like

  • after seeing the cow udders and the Domino's Pizza,

  • I mean, it doesn't compete with those at all.

  • - (FBE) So after watching this, how do you think

  • the Japanese commercials compare to the commercials

  • that you've seen in the United States?

  • - I think ours are boring.

  • For example, the chicken wearing the "I Love BBQ,"

  • that'd probably never be allowed.

  • - It's so much more focused on entertainment

  • and just, you know, something more enjoyable

  • than just focusing on promoting your product.

  • - The U.S. commercials are a little more relaxed.

  • The Super Bowl, that's when the weird random commercials come out.

  • - We shouldn't even have the commercials

  • we have here in the U.S.-- they should just all be Japanese commercials.

  • If those were the commercial breaks that I had to sit through,

  • I would watch TV like it was the Super Bowl every day,

  • just for the commercials.
