I came across this japanese animated commercial for Panasonic, and I could not stop laughing. Even that song is stuck in my head!

Instead of showing lame Old Navy type commercials, we should liven it up with this dose of weirdness!

What kind of media do I need to play this? Windows media won't do it.

The file is shockwave flash

That was a neat commercial, but I must digress about there being no interesting US commercials. Check this one from Volkswagon....

Just scroll down and click on Volkswagon "Bubble"

Irene, I've seen that Volkswagon commercial in the movie theaters...and heard an unbearable amount of "ugh how stoopid"s. I love it! It's weird. It's different. Lots of fun!

Kewl commercial...And if this was pitched in the US it would go thru an awful makeover & in the end loses the original feel of commercials that are hits abroad.

Heh, that ad was good, you can play the Panasonic ad with QuickTime, I always do :)

(Ah, wahey, post 1600, gotta get another 400 before the year is out to reach my goal!)

Look for the Japanese ads with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lunacy.

Panasonic - BEST......COMMERCIAL.........EVER. Flowrchild I would love to see commercials like this up here. It would be hell of a lot better than having that annoying jackass Steve trying to sell me a Dell.:D
