Funny Commercials [June 2025] (81–90)
Toyo Suisan Maruchan “Red Kitsune, Green Tanuki” — ‘Red Kitsune Defense Operation’ versionTetsuya Takeda, Kumiko Aso, Jiro (Shisonnu)
This commercial shows Kumiko Aso finding a pack of Akai Kitsune in her home cupboard and trying to eat it.
When she reaches for it, a laser sensor is triggered, sending an alert to her husband Jiro, who’s out playing golf, and her father, Tetsuya Takeda.
The two rush home, but Aso has already eaten the Akai Kitsune.
Jiro shouting, “That’s mine!” is a bit pitiful, but the over-the-top setup and direction are hilarious.
Suntory Drink Smile “Taxi Tales We Can All Relate To” / “Scary Stories from a Taxi”Kozo Sato, An Asahina
This is a commercial by Suntory aimed at encouraging people to drink alcohol safely and responsibly.
The ad unfolds like a ghost story told by a taxi driver.
When he follows the address given by a female passenger, it leads deep into the mountains.
Bracing himself for a horror twist, the driver glances back at the rear seat… Only to hear the woman, finally sobering up, murmur, “Huh? Where are we?” The punchline reveals there’s no horror at all—she was just drunk and gave a strange, incorrect address.
At the end of the commercial, there’s a reminder to drink water when consuming alcohol to avoid ending up in situations like this.
It’s a cleverly humorous ad that makes you want to watch it over and over.
Suntory Green Tea Iyemon Tokucha “Moene Goddess” VersionMone Kamishiraishi
This is a humor-filled commercial inspired by Aesop’s fable “The Golden Axe.” When a foreign man mutters, “I’m worried about my body fat,” Mone Kamishiraishi appears as a goddess and says, “Which one are you looking for?” She then introduces the Iemon Tokucha product lineup.
The man is perplexed because every option is a “golden” something, but Kamishiraishi emphasizes that they all contain Quercetin Gold.
Not only is their back-and-forth amusing, but the commercial also has a surreal charm because it’s dubbed over still images.
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.
Sakai Moving Center: “With heartfelt care for the last 10 minutes” (version)Nashiko Momotsuki, Shunya Itabashi
This commercial introduces a 10-minute Helper Service that lets you get help with anything for 10 minutes after your move.
By subscribing to the Peace-of-Mind Guarantee Pack, they’ll respond to those “I just need a little more help” requests once the moving work is done.
In the CM, Shunya Itabashi is shown installing curtains, and Nashiko Momotsuki is wiping down the stairs, clearly showing how helpful the service is on a hectic moving day.
Meanwhile, the Sincerity Panda tries to walk someone’s beloved dog but gets jumped on and has its face licked—an unexpected mishap.
It’s a fun commercial with a cute final touch that’ll make you chuckle.
Suntory Pepsi “Shall we have Pepsi and KFC today?” version Kuruma Takahira, Nagano
It’s a truly surreal commercial showing Kuruma Takahira attempting Nagano’s routine under Nagano’s watchful eye.
In Nagano’s act, Van Gogh and Lassen make appearances, but in this ad he declares, “At year’s end, KFC chicken and Pepsi are essential.” Kuruma’s powerful screams rival Nagano’s, leaving Nagano looking satisfied.
The impact is tremendous—once you’ve seen it, you can’t forget this commercial.
Funny commercials [June 2025] (91–100)
BOOKOFF: ‘A Place Everyone Can Be Absorbed In’ (Commercial)
This commercial showcases how much fun Book Off is by depicting a family enjoying their time there.
The dad looks like he’s being dragged to different spots around the store, and the comical depiction of his arm stretching conveys just how spacious the place is.
It’s also key that each family member is looking at something different, which communicates the variety of products and the richness of the selection.
The scene divisions using the dad’s elongated arms and legs, among other elements, create a quirky, comedic world that leaves a strong impression.
