Funny Commercials [June 2025] (71–80)
Indeed ‘A Simple Question’ EditionTakumi Saitoh, Rika Izumi
This is a commercial that introduces the Indeed app as a convenient way to find jobs or part-time work, presented with a unique vibe.
As Takumi Saitoh and Rika Izumi trade dance moves while promoting Indeed, the light, catchy phrasing evokes the app’s ease of use.
The playful turn toward the question of “If the app is now convenient, what was it like before?” also adds a comedic touch.
Even the seemingly unrelated worldbuilding, separate from job hunting itself, helps capture viewers’ interest.
au Starlink Direct: There’s no signal here! “Fishing” Version / “Connect on X” Version / “Hiking” Version / “Emergency” Version / “Camping” Version
Set against backdrops like the sea and mountains, this memorable commercial uses humorous scenes where, whenever someone tries to use their smartphone, they’re told, “There’s no signal here.” But as the narrator says, “My phone connects anywhere as long as it can see the sky,” the ad highlights that communication is possible using Starlink.
It further emphasizes that you can use not only emergency contacts but also your everyday apps, showing that you can use your smartphone as usual even in places where regular signals don’t reach.
Sakai Moving Center “Sincere Panda Dance Explanation Video: Momotsuki Panda” EditionNashiko Momotsuki, Masaru Tokui
In this commercial, Nashiko Momotsuki, dressed in a black-and-white outfit inspired by a panda, performs a dance to the familiar CM jingle, while Yu Tokui provides commentary on the dance.
Momotsuki’s dance is adorable, and Tokui’s Kansai-dialect commentary adds a humorous touch.
The choreography also includes the phrase “Shigoto Kitchiri” (work done just right), which was used when Tokui previously appeared in the series, evoking nostalgia for those who remember that era.
It’s a CM that beautifully blends Momotsuki’s cuteness with Tokui’s humor.
TOTO NEOREST “Little Ben’s Essay” EditionEiji Yokota, Kokoro Terada
It’s a cute commercial showing Little Ben, played by Kokoro Terada, reading an essay aloud.
In the essay Little Ben reads, he lists one thing after another that he “dislikes” about Neorest.
But those dislikes are from the perspective of Little Ben, who is a germ, so for us humans they’re all advantages.
The ad does a great job of highlighting Neorest’s appeal.
At the end of the commercial, Little Ben says he doesn’t want to be a selfish person, but Eiji Yokota’s character, Big Ben, tells him the truth: “You’re not a person, you’re a germ,” leaving Little Ben adorably shocked.
Toyo Suisan Maruchan “Red Kitsune, Green Tanuki” – Autumn Camping EditionTetsuya Takeda, Hiroshi
Here’s a commercial showing people eating “Akai Kitsune” while camping.
The familiar Tetsuya Takeda appears, along with the go-to name for camping in the entertainment world, Hiroshi.
As the two of them eat Akai Kitsune made with water boiled over a campfire, Takeda tells Hiroshi the secret behind its delicious taste.
However, Hiroshi single-mindedly keeps eating.
In the end, he boldly tells his senior, “Oh, I wasn’t listening.” Rather than getting angry, Takeda repeats the same line.
It’s a commercial that makes you feel a bit sorry for Takeda, yet find him utterly endearing.
Lake Lake’s ‘Location Shoot Show’ EpisodeChidori, Cookie!
This commercial introduces, through a location shoot featuring the comedy duo Chidori, that “Lake’s thing” refers to Lake’s offer where interest is free for one year, available only to first-time users.
While Chidori are filming on location, Kukkī!—who’s among the onlookers—starts making a fuss, asking, “What is that ‘Lake thing,’ anyway?” The two members of Chidori try to ignore him, but the rest of the crowd starts getting worked up too.
In the end, the question “What is that ‘Lake thing’?” lingers, and it’s likely many people couldn’t help but look it up.
TOTO NEOREST “Voices of Users” VersionEiji Yokota, Kokoro Terada
This commercial features Big Ben and Little Ben, a parent-child duo of germs, introducing feedback from NEOREST users and commenting on it.
Because they’re germs, their sense of good and evil is the exact opposite of humans’.
So they say NEOREST, which keeps things clean, is their enemy.
They go on about how NEOREST is such a terrible toilet for germs, but the more they talk, the more NEOREST’s appeal stands out—making for a cleverly structured ad.
