Americans watch Japanese TV commercials. I guess these must work to sell things over there?

About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I am not Jewish, nor gay, nor (obviously) a woman -- you don't need to be a member of a group to object to them being mistreated. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Lmaoooo cultural differences are a riot.
I liked the one with the cheerleaders sending the guy to a supermarket (?) and the kitty roaming national monuments. Commercials are much better when you have no idea they’re saying. 😎
XoXo
The Japanese have a very . . . unique . . . sense of humour.
Oh my God, that first one looks like the ad Mr. Peanutbutter made for the undersea world on an episode of Bojack Horseman!

This just proves that there are crazy commercials everywhere. lol
Some of the commercials we have here in the US are pretty weird too.
Sixpence: The kitty one was funny. I guess cats are considered photogenic everywhere.
Debra: That's certainly true.
Professor: There is a resemblance -- maybe they saw the commercial (or vice versa).
Mary: That could be. I remember most US commercials as being terribly dull, but I haven't had a TV for over 20 years.
Certainly a difference
Yep!

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
