- What? No! - No!

♪ (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)
- (horse speaking Japanese)
- (cracking up) What?
- The placement of the mouth, though.
- ♪ (singing in Japanese to bubbly rock music) ♪
- (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? - (man screaming aggressively)
- 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) - (snorting)
- 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?!
- (man screaming aggressively) - (laughing)
(motor revving) - Jeez.
- Yo, I called it!
- For noodles? Come on, y'all.
- (announcing in Japanese)
- 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.
- Well, good. - I liked it.
- Agree to disagree.

- (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.

- (voice-over speaking Japanese) - 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) - (both) WHAT?!

oh, you drank it.

Mm-mm, okay... (laughing) ew!

- 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.

- 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.
