Commercials that are just weird. - Page 5 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Just when I thought Japanese commercials couldn't get any stranger. Here comes professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan to prove me wrong yet again in this ad for Hitachi, and if things couldn't get any weirder, Babs and Buster Bunny from Tiny Toon Adventures have a cameo at the end of the spot. (Sadly they don't interact with the Hulkster in any way shape or form.)

I wonder if he smells like pea soup and loudly eats melty chocolate bars in lines...

LOL, I saw this once before.

Definitely creepier than the Hogan commercial, though Hulk is a close one.

Just watching some of those Zelda commercials...I'd seen them before, but they don't get any less weird.

They reminded me of this advert for Super Mario Sunshine. I guess it sort of conveys the general idea of the game, but it's nevertheless not an idea that would have immediately occured to me. I guess that's why they're the highly-paid marketing bods, and I'm not.

Today, I saw Corn Pops's newest commercial, and it was trippy!

The Japanese make some hilariously weird commercials, this Final Fantasy IV one being one of my faves.
