WTF Japan - The return of our weirdest friend so far

I don't get how some commercials can be successful. Especially ones featuring a creepy anthropomorphic dog. After releasing the first one, the people at Calbee said: "Let's make another!" It's actually a surprising amount better than the last one. Let's take it Giga Puddi style and go through it in pictures.

Check him out, just lounging. Not a care in the world. He's internet famous, gets all the bitches (assuming he's male) He's watching a baseball game of his little friend, when the boy suddenly misses a ball. Being the good friend that he is, he returns the ball.

Sixty Second Movie: The Laughing my ads off Infomercial!

We all love infomercials. At least we all love to hate infomercials. That inspired me to make a Sixty Second Movie about my blog in an over-the-top cliché way. Enjoy!

23 people completely unable to do the most basic things

In preparation for my Sixty Second Movie, premiering tomorrow, I decided to scrape together the worst .gifs in infomercial history. Get ready for 23 of the most useless people ever!

 Yeah seriously, get a grip. Why is that woman sitting in the shower wearing a towel?

 Ain't no party like a Snuggie family party.

Don't mess with old ladies who look like Danny Trejo

The Superbowl is a wonderful time of the year. Or so I'm told. I'm European so I have no connection with it whatsoever. I couldn't explain the rules of American football if I tried. I am interested in the ads however. It sparked my interest when I heard American people say they watch the Superbowl solely for the commercials. This made me check out some Superbowl ads and I quickly found my favourite. A Doritos ad from 2012 featuring the most bad ass grandma ever.


Duracell: Just like the battery, the ads last long

Why Duracell started to use pink rabbits to promote their products may be never known, but what is known is that they lasted. The bunnies became an icon, even though they started out a little creepy. Back in 1983, they didn't have all the fancy CGI technology we have nowadays. They still used actual toy rabbits.



It almost reminds me of the Japanese pasta army. All staring into the abyss, mindlessly hitting that drum. The good part is that you can see these bunnies run out of energy one by one. All except one. The one fueled by Duracell. The little drummer bunny keeps going for up to six times longer. I just hope there's an off switch.
