Funny Commercials [2021] (1–10)
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.
Kubota “The Future as Envisioned by Kubota: Concept Tractor” EditionMasami Nagasawa, Sarutoki Minagawa, Patrick Harlan
This commercial features an unusual combination: Masami Nagasawa as a mysterious woman, Sarutoki Minagawa as the sushi chef, and Patrick Harlan—aka Pakkun from the comedy duo Pakkun Makkun.
It’s Kubota’s “The Future Kubota Envisions: Concept Tractor” spot.
At a sushi counter, Nagasawa quietly mutters to herself, and the chef, listening closely, realizes, “She can see the future.” But for some reason, she can’t see what lies ahead for herself—cue the punchline.
The sushi chef, who’s completely at the mercy of Nagasawa’s murmurs, ends up being oddly adorable, too (lol).
Funny Commercials [2021] (11–20)
Jumbo Lottery: “Big Brother Jumbo – Jumbo Advisor” editionSatoshi Tsumabuki, Riho Yoshioka, Ryo Narita, Yuma Yamoto, Mio Imai, Sisonnu (Comedy duo)
Many people probably find themselves watching it because it’s always so fun.
It’s the lottery’s series of commercials featuring lively banter among the brothers, led by Satoshi Tsumabuki as “Jumbo Anii-chan.” This time, it’s a spot for the major “Year-End Jumbo Lottery,” and in addition to the brothers, the comedy duo Sissonne appears under the sketchy-sounding title of “Jumbo Advisor.” The brothers get all hyped up by the Jumbo Advisors calmly recommending a mysterious pedestal, while the women look on suspiciously.
It’s the kind of commercial that makes you think, “It’s usually the guys who get excited about stuff like this,” right? (lol)
Housemate: “Special Guest, Fuwa-chan”Fuwa-chan, Rino Sashihara
A commercial for Housemate featuring popular YouTuber Fuwa-chan—who’s been all over TV lately—and Rino Sashihara.
Fuwa-chan shows up at Housemate, spots Sashihara, and keeps excitedly calling her by her nickname, “Sasshi!” But Sashihara insists she’s just a “Housemate staff member.” The ad shows the friendly, natural rapport between Housemate’s staff who help people find properties and Fuwa-chan, just like in their everyday interactions.
The YouTuber-like touch with a selfie stick and smartphone is also easy to recognize and a nice detail (lol).
WONDER CORE “Just Fall Back – Summer” VersionTakeshi Ukaji
This is the 2015 TV commercial for the Wonder Core abdominal training machine, the “Just Fall Back – Summer” edition.
Since it was a hot topic, many of you might remember it.
Actor Takeshi Ukaji appears, and in various scenes—like on an obstacle course, a fishing boat, or in a haunted house—he falls backward.
Just when you think he’s taken a spill, there’s the Wonder Core for some reason, and even if he falls, he pops right back up easily, and his expression is perfectly on point—making it all very comical.
It looks so fun that watching it makes you want to try it yourself (lol).
Ichiban Kuji ONLINE: “Praying Yoshizumi” VersionYoshizumi, Kōjima from the comedy duo Unjash
This is the “Praying Yoshizumi” version of the commercial for Ichiban Kuji Online, featuring Yoshizumi— the female comedian who won “The W 2020: Japan’s No.
1 Female Comedian Contest” — and Koji Kojima from the duo Unjash.
The ad promotes how the popular Ichiban Kuji, normally found at convenience stores and bookstores, can now be done online easily on your smartphone.
Ichiban Kuji has no losing tickets, but Yoshizumi still concentrates and ‘prays’ before drawing in hopes of getting what she wants, and she encourages Kojima to do the same.
This of course includes their classic exchange: “Mr.
Oshima, you too,” “It’s Kojima!” (laughs).
