Funny Commercials [2021] (1–10)
Indeed CM On-air Battle 2021JaruJaru, Kamaitachi, Chocolate Planet, New York
This is the commercial for the job site Indeed, famous for the tagline “Find jobs on Indeed.” Four comedy duos—JaruJaru, Chocolate Planet, Kamaitachi, and New York—each perform a sketch in the ad.
All four sketches were actually broadcast as commercials, and viewers voted on social media for the funniest one to decide the winner, making the campaign feel like a contest.
The second installment’s theme is working part-time at a café.
Each duo delivers a distinct, chuckle-worthy sketch that’s fun to watch.
By the way, following their win in the first installment, JaruJaru took the top spot again.
AGC ‘Whatever it is, whatever it is, AGC / 5G Antenna Edition’Issey Takahashi
This is the kind of commercial that, once you see it, gets stuck in your head.
It’s the AGC ad featuring Issey Takahashi, titled “Nandashi, Nandashi, AGC / 5G Antenna.” Both the person asking and the person answering end their lines with “-dashi,” which makes it really catchy, and the comical movements by Takahashi and the background music make it even more addictive.
I bet little kids love this kind of commercial (lol).
Of course, adults will want to try that way of walking too!
TikTok: “Grandpa is a TikTok creator?!” VersionFumiyo Kohinata, Ryo Narita
This is the TikTok commercial “Grandpa’s a TikTok Creator!?” featuring Fumiyo Kohinata and Ryo Narita.
It’s part of a series where the inside of Grandpa, played by Kohinata, and his grandson, played by Narita, get switched and they both kind of seem to be enjoying it.
Every time I watch it, my brain glitches a little, you know? (lol) In this ad, Kohinata, who looks like a grandpa on the outside but is a young person on the inside, tries TikTok for the first time and suddenly goes viral.
And then his gateball buddies find out about it too—making for a fun storyline.
au Too High-Consciousness! Takasugi-kun “Quiz Tournament” VersionNanase Nishino, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Honoka Matsumoto, Taishi Nakagawa
This is the “Quiz Tournament” episode of au’s ‘au PAY Card’ commercial series featuring the ultra high-minded Takasugi-kun.
Ryunosuke Kamiki plays the highly motivated high schooler Takasugi-kun; Honoka Matsumoto plays his classmate Matsumoto-san; Taishi Nakagawa plays the overly meticulous Hososugi-kun; and Nanase Nishino plays Savings-obsessed teacher Chosugi-sensei.
The commercials are always comical and fun, but this time it’s a quiz tournament—and it’s surprising that Chosugi-sensei is the advisor to the quiz club.
The over-the-top reactions from Takasugi-kun and Hososugi-kun are especially worth watching (lol).
IRIS OHYAMA Cordless Cyclone Stick Vacuum Cleaner “The Man and Woman Who Suck”Ryo Yoshizawa, Hana Amano
This is the “The Man and Woman Who Suck” commercial for Iris Ohyama’s rechargeable cyclone stick vacuum cleaner, starring Ryo Yoshizawa.
Yoshizawa plays Shojiki Kaname, a CM planner.
As he’s drinking and brainstorming ideas for a stick vacuum commercial, the cleaner’s excellence is introduced through his thoughts.
Then, a woman appears out of nowhere and, pulling an exaggerated funny face, declares that its suction power is also worth noting and takes a big inhale; Kaname follows suit… In the end, the two of them pulling funny faces made me forget all about the vacuum’s explanation (lol).
Acom “Outfit to Conquer the World” EditionNobuyuki Suzuki, Kamaitachi
The Acom commercial features the so-called Samurai Big Three—Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu—played by Nobuyuki Suzuki and the comedy duo Kamaitachi.
It portrays the three before they became famous, admiring the shogun’s attire—helmets and armor—and striving to become the people they want to be, even if it means pushing themselves a little.
It’s a humorous, fun ad that still packs an emotional punch, likely resonating with anyone who has dreams and hopes.
The little historical anecdotes sprinkled throughout are another entertaining touch, aren’t they?
KINCHO Mushikonazu “The First-Time Hanger” VersionMasami Nagasawa, Taiga Nakano
Every KINCHO commercial has its own quirky twist—or two—and the Mushi-Konaazu ads are always a hot topic.
The KINCHO Mushi-Konaazu “The First Person to Hang It Up” spot, starring Masami Nagasawa and Taiga Nakano, has been buzzing on social media for being downright funny.
The visuals make it feel almost like a drama, and Nagasawa’s natural-sounding Kansai dialect fits perfectly without any hint of snark (lol).
The rhythm and timing of their dialogue are spot-on, making it the kind of commercial you can’t help but watch to the end.
