Check out the "Genki Drink" series. My god, I haven't laughed so hard in ages.

This site has tons of stars' Japanese commercials. Another one of my favorites is this one:

robyrob · 09-27-2003, 10:23 AM

he should string a bunch of these together, do a guest shot on Banzai!, and use that for his campaign TV spots!!!

sara · 09-27-2003, 05:30 PM

Those pictures are going to give me nightmares.

TJL · 09-27-2003, 05:46 PM

Well he's not getting my vote for Governor.

dr frasier crane · 09-27-2003, 11:28 PM

I hope he wins! They need a conservative in California to straighten out that mess they call a budget!

ConservativeBalla · 09-28-2003, 12:01 AM

For the record, he is NOT a Conservative, but a Liberal Republican. Go Mcclintock!

InspectorExstead · 09-28-2003, 12:04 AM

oh good lord...if arnold becomes governor over here...it's too horrible to imagine. he's barely spoken about anything. he just says "i'm for the children" and "i'll be back."

the world is over....

Okay, this isn't a thread about the California Recall. It's about Arnold Schwarzenegger maniacally laughing as his enemies are drowned in noodles. Let's please keep this thread on topic, okay?

And for the record, if anyone bothered to watch the debate last Wednesday or his appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, you'd know he doesn't just spout off movie cliches and flex his muscles. Saying that he does is only out of sheer ignorance.

Besides, he's a fiscal conservative, which to me is the most important factor in a Republican candidate. (Yes, I too am a Republican: Registered and have never missed an election since my 18th birthday, and have worked campaigning for the party back in my days in the YRF.)

...DAMN IT! This is why I was hoping this thread wouldn't turn into another discussion about the debate. I *always* get sucked into political threads and end up spending way too much time replying. Damn it, damn it, damn it.

Just laugh at the funny videos and leave the serious crap for elsewhere!

P.S: Vote Right; Vote Republican.

P.P.S: In a recent study, Democrats were shown to cause cancer in laboratory rats.

P.P.P.S: I made up that last part. It sounds about right though, doesn't it?

It amazes me how these big stars think they're above doing a commercial here in America, but have no problem going over to Europe or Japan and doing one. And I'm sorry, some of those Japanese commercials are rediculous! I don't see how jumping around like an idiot in one of their commercials doesn't ruin their "artistic integrity" which they're trying so hard to protect by shying away from hawking products on our airwaves.

My roommate was in Ireland last week, and he caught a Heineken beer commercial which featured Jennifer Aniston. Yes, that Jennifer Aniston. He said she was really funny in it, and would be a great comercial here, but I guess selling beer in America is beneath her.

Well, when people have this kind of mentality after viewing the commercials, it's no surprise that they would want to keep it away from the American public:

All I'm saying is, if you want to do commercials, why do it overseas? Let everyone see them. It's not going to destroy your rep if you want to do a car commercial.
