- (FBE) Can you give us your best impression

of the Long Long Man?

- ♪ (saxophone) ♪

♪ (dramatic intro) ♪

- (FBE) So today, we are going to be showing you

some Japanese commercials. - Yeah, baby.

- I love this.

- Oh man. - These are good.

- Those can get weird.

- (FBE) So, we've shown Japanese commercials

to YouTubers in the past, but this time,

we are actually going to be showing you a series

of commercials that all advertise the same product.

- Okay. - I'm excited.

- An internal lore, as it were.

- Nobody does commercials better than Japan.

- Best commercials in the world. - I'm very excited.

- (speaking Japanese)

- (narrator) Long Long Man!

- Oh, Long Long Man.

- I'm so confused.

- Oh my God.

- Oh, look at that tear.

- What did I just watch?

- She has that short gummy and he got that long gummy.

- Long Long Man. - Wow.

- I like... - They're talking about

gummies here?

- Did anybody else pick up on the innuendo in that commercial,

or is it just me?

- (speaking Japanese)

- "You like long things."

- The heck?

- Oh, Long Long Man.

- I mean, this is obviously wiener jokes.

- Ah, look at how long that is.

- Wow.

- I can't comprehend what I just watched.

- That's what I'm gonna say every time I get out

of the shower now. Long Long Man!

- (speaking Japanese)

- Oh, it's Long Long Man. - Oh no.

- It's this guy again. This guy's trouble, man.

Stay away from him.

- Oh no. That was symbolism

for her breaking up. - Yep, the chain broke.

- Oh man. She really wants that

long one, honey.

- Oh no, oh no. - Oh man.

- Each commercial kind of gets a little weirder and weirder.

- The storytelling is good. If I saw this on TV,

I would want to share it with everyone.

- Oh wow.

- Oh my God.

- Oh no, he's showing her how to do it.

Oh dear.

- What?

- What?

- Oh my God.

- Oh my gosh.

- This guy's trouble. I'm telling you.

- It's so sexual. I don't know what

to do with myself.

- This is great campaign. - I am so invested

in the story of the Long Long Man. - Right?

Will they, won't they?

- (speaking Japanese)

- It's her boyfriend, right?

- Uh oh. The confrontation.

- Long Long Man's inside.

- His longness is in the bed! - Oh my gosh.

- (gasps)

- Oh.

- She's a cheating woman.

- No. - Oh no.

- That is so stupid. - I don't know,

I actually wanna know what's gonna happen next.

- Can we just play the next one? This is--

I need to know.

- Oh, he's trying to stretch it out.

- I feel bad for the guy. - He feels so inadequate.

Poor guy.

- (gasps) - Oh no.

- She's gonna die? - Why is she dying?

- Whenever I look at long things, I feel assured.

Yes.

- Long Long Man, save her.

- She doesn't have that long to live.

So that's why she's attracted to long things.

- I'm just connecting that candy to death now.

- It makes you reflect on the mortality of our own life.

That's deep.

- What happens next? I wanna know what happens next.

- (speaking Japanese)

- Oh, she's got a lot.

- Oh, she knows how to do it.

- You could have one long man, or you could have a bunch

of short, short men.

- Is this a story of redemption? - It is.

- No way. - It's showing you that

short gummies can be just as good as a long gummy.

- They've been suggesting this whole time,

that these are wieners and if they're now saying

you can stack wieners to make it the size you want,

that is not a good suggestion.

- Flash mob?

- Call it off, call it off.

- Why is he just shouting in her face?

- What? His ear--

- Long Long Man's in the bunny costume?

- Storytelling, it's getting weird now.

- There was a lot going on in that.

- She just can't stop thinking of the Long Long Man,

so she hasn't seen the real Long Long Man in a while

and now everything she sees-- - Where is the Long Long Man?

- Where's the Long Long Man? - Dude.

- I bet you he killed him.

- Long seatbelt. - Okay, now the seatbelt?

- Is it the Long Long Man? - Where is he, though?

Where is he? - There he is!

He's back.

- It's the Long Long Man dude!

- She's hallucinating. - Yeah, she's just seeing

stuff now.

- If you're starting to have these hallucinations

every time you see something long, like a seatbelt,

you're flipping out all the time.

- She got married.

- Oh, a stretch limo.

- My God. - This is gonna be stuck

in my head all day. - Yeah, me too.

- I like the way he seductively tears the gummy.

- Oh, and he comes out tearing, oh wow.

- So long.

- She's so excited. Ooh, and his cape is long.

- He stopped the marriage.

- Do you really want to try this gummy at this point?

- Yes. - 'Cause I definitely do.

- (speaking Japanese)

- Yes! You got shut down.

- Oh no, what?

- What is this twist?

- Okay, so he's been after the dude the whole time.

- Ah.

- (gasps) - Oh.

- Plot twist.

- Oh my God. He was the rabbit?

- He was the rabbit.

- Yes, queen! Touch it, go ahead.

- Yeah, dude. - I don't mind one bit.

- That's what you get, Chi-chan.

That's what you get.

- Slow clap. That was so good.

- That was crazy though, man. I've never seen an arc

like that in the candy world. - I'ma say ad campaign of the year.

I loved it.

- (FBE) So, those were all commercials for

Sakeru gummy candy. - Uh huh.

- I wanna try it. It made me wanna try it.

- (FBE) The commercial was split into eleven different parts

and followed the story of Tooru-san,

who prefers the smaller bite sized candy

and his girlfriend Chi-chan, who struggles to suppress

her desire for the long candy. - Yeah, she does.

- I mean, as we all do.

- (FBE) So, what do you think about the story

that these commercials presented? - I loved this for so many reasons,

because nobody likes sitting through commercials.

Nobody. So, the fact that they're

so creative and made a storyline out of it is genius.

- It's smart to have those all come together at the end

into this whole plot twist.

- It was great. I thought it was super compelling.

I was invested from the get-go. - Absolutely.

- I really felt bad for short guy.
