Funny commercials [June 2025] (1–10)
Otsuka Pharmaceutical Calorie Mate Jelly “Chuu-shita (Kissed)” VersionNEW!Yuuichi Nakamura
This is one of the series of commercials that depict CalorieMate as a character called a “little nutritionist.” This time, the story unfolds with CalorieMate getting jealous of CalorieMate Jelly.
Watching a woman sip jelly from a pouch, it panics and cries out, “She kissed it!”—which is just so adorable, isn’t it? And at the end of the commercial, the man sitting next to the woman eats it, closing on a humorous punchline with its lament, “Why meee?”
Toyo Suisan Maruchan Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki “Spring Mountain Climb” VersionNEW!Tetsuya Takeda, Moka Kamishiraishi
This commercial depicts Tetsuya Takeda and Moka Kamishiraishi mountain climbing, highlighting how Akai Kitsune and Midori no Tanuki are a perfect fit even for outdoor scenes like these.
Because the flavors are presented alongside the sweeping vistas, the sense of excitement about the taste comes through strongly.
It’s humorous that while Kamishiraishi starts eating deliciously, Takeda doesn’t begin—only to reveal he was actually just catching his breath.
Coca-Cola Karada Sukoyaka-cha W+ “A Sweet and Bittersweet Relationship” VersionNEW!Ryuji Akiyama
He’s worried about his health but just can’t quit because it tastes so good… As this highly relatable feeling is portrayed, Ryuji Akiyama is about to dig into a tempura bowl.
Then, from the cafeteria TV comes a narration: “I know I should stop, but I can’t—this delicious yet bittersweet relationship…” The footage looks like an ’80s trendy drama, and it turns out the line is describing the relationship between fat and sugar.
Through this unexpected twist, the ad introduces Karada Sukoyaka-cha W+, which helps suppress the absorption of fat and sugar.
The subtly awkward vibe when the man and woman playing Fat and Sugar appear together with Akiyama creates a surreal kind of humor.
Suntory Craft Boss Unsweetened Italiano “Alien Jones: Truth or Fake?” Part 2NEW!Tommy Lee Jones, LiLiCo, Noriyuki Furuichi
LiLiCo introduces Noritoshi Furuichi to a video asking, “Have you seen this?” titled “Is Alien Jones getting a movie adaptation?!” Furuichi then describes the plot, but LiLiCo cuts him off, saying, “That’s an ad! Are you making fun of movies?” However, it concludes with a scene where she tries the unsweetened Italiano featured in the video and is surprised by how good it tastes, followed by the message, “Check it with your own mouth.” This commercial, with its narrative feel, likely left a lasting impression on many viewers.
Watanabe Pipe “Susume” Version / “On the Front Lines of the Worksite” VersionNEW!Audrey
Audrey’s two members appear in the Watanabe Pipe commercial, and in a nod to the company name, Kasuga plays the bagpipes.
In addition to the striking setup where the company name is repeated to the melody of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” the ad closes with a one-liner from Kasuga followed by Wakabayashi’s sharp comeback, which provides a good laugh.
The background music, “When the Saints Go Marching In,” is a song long cherished as an African American spiritual and is now also popular as a sports anthem.
Suntory Craft Boss World TEA Alien Sisters Company “Joining the Company” version / “India” version / “Dance” versionNEW!Koji Yakusho, Hana Sugisaki, Yumi Kawai
This is a series of commercials in which Hana Sugisaki plays the older sister and Yuumi Kawai the younger sister—two alien sisters who work together at a company—into which Koji Yakusho, a human from Earth, gets hired.
Yakusho, who is consistently on the back foot with the sisters, is especially memorable, and the banter among the three is really entertaining.
Through this quirky interaction, the commercials introduce the World TEA Series.
Nippon Ham Schau Essen Schau Essen Oichiiiiiii-se “Solo” version / “Duet” version / “Sixfold Cheese Ensemble” versionNEW!Tomotaka Okamoto, Shigeru Matsuzaki
A distinctive commercial resounding with the singing voices of Tomotaka Okamoto and Shigeru Matsuzaki.
In the “Solo” version, Okamoto performs alone, while in the “Duet” and “Sixfold Cheese Ensemble” versions, you can enjoy their harmonies.
You’re overwhelmed by their beautiful vocals, and at the same time left wondering why a sausage commercial showcases such superb singing—its sheer impact makes it a spot you won’t forget after a single viewing.
Shiga Prefecture: “Shiga, Shiga (Shiga, Shiga)” EditionNEW!
This is a commercial that conveys Shiga Prefecture’s efforts toward health and longevity in a gentle tone.
In fact, it’s an homage to Morinaga’s Greek yogurt Partheno commercial, incorporating uniquely Shiga elements into a similar structure.
Just like the original piece that introduces Greek culture, this one presents the culture of Shiga Prefecture; however, because the structure is so similar, it even prompts the comical question of whether the information is actually real.
The Shiga-related items scattered throughout the footage are introduced again, so viewers can learn about Shiga’s culture there.
Google Chrome Takuro meets Google “Choice Screen” version / “AI Mode” version / “No.1 Browser” versionNEW!Takurou
This is a commercial where the comedy duo Takurou introduce Google’s services within their manzai routine.
In all three released versions, Mr.
Hiroshi Akagi gets put on the spot by Mr.
Kimura Band, and Akagi’s bewilderment is what makes it so funny.
It’s such an entertaining ad that you’ll want to watch it over and over!
Shiga Prefecture Ishida MitsunariNEW!
Speaking of samurai warlords who represent Shiga Prefecture, Ishida Mitsunari comes to mind.
This is a quirky commercial that introduces what makes Ishida Mitsunari so appealing.
As if pitching a product’s strengths, it comically conveys what kind of person he was.
By thoroughly highlighting even the finer details, it expresses a desire for viewers to feel a sense of familiarity with him.
