Funny Commercials [June 2025] (151–160)
Shibaura Machine: “ALWAYS Shibaura Machine” Part 3Hiroshi Abe, Ayumu Nakajima
Atsushi Abe passionately talking about the boke and tsukkomi of comedy leaves a strong impression, doesn’t it? This commercial is for Shibaura Machine, and it expresses the tagline “Creating things that don’t yet exist in this world.” Abe plays a principal who can’t help but think about Shibaura Machine all the time, and the rather outlandish direction is part of its appeal.
The two performers’ intense acting makes this a highly impactful commercial that really sticks with you.
Sumitomo Life “That Person’s Life Insurance” VersionEri Fukatsu
Titled “That Person’s Living Insurance,” this commercial features Eri Fukatsu as an insurance sales representative proposing a plan to a woman—who turns out to be the crane from the folktale “The Grateful Crane.” It opens with a scene where Fukatsu admires the quality of a cloth woven by the woman, referred to as “O-Tsuru,” and then asks whether she has any concerns about being unable to work.
When O-Tsuru replies that she hasn’t really thought about it, Fukatsu goes on to explain living insurance.
Many people, like O-Tsuru, haven’t considered such risks before, making the setup relatable and easy to identify with.
At the end of the commercial, there’s a humorous touch when the old man opens the room door without permission, giving the ad a light, chuckle-worthy ending.
Yellow Hat 2025 Hat Day “Hat Sports Festival” version / Ringer Hut “Hat Sports Festival” version / Hato no Mark Moving Center “Hat Sports Festival” version
This is a commercial for the “Hat Alliance,” a group formed by companies whose names include the word “Hat.” In the past, Yellow Hat, Pizza Hut, and Ringer Hut have created collaborative commercials, and in 2025 the Hato-no-Mark Moving Center has joined in.
It’s a clever, pun-filled project that many people look forward to every year.
In the latest spot, titled “Hat Sports Day,” Yellow Hat, Ringer Hut, and the Hato-no-Mark Moving Center compete in events like tug-of-war and cavalry battle.
Fitting for a school sports day, the background music is “Thunder and Lightning” (the “Hell and Heaven” galop).
BOOKOFF: Retro Games – Dive into Your Off Time / Figures – Dive into Your Off Time / Trading Cards – Dive into Your Off Time / Classic Albums – Dive into Your Off Time / Masterpieces – Dive into Your Off Time / Korean Dramas – Dive into Your Off TimeUm, Master Takahashi, Michie Kakimaru
This is a commercial introducing the wide range of products handled by BOOKOFF, including games, figures, cards, CDs, DVDs, books, and more.
In addition to the familiar Ano-san and Michie Kakimaru, the “Natsuge Hitatte Ofu Jikan” version also featured the legendary Takahashi Meijin, which became a hot topic.
The characteristically surreal developments make it irresistibly funny and leave you wanting to watch it over and over again.
Mars Japan Limited SNICKERS Adult Bitter “Paint” Version
This is a commercial styled like an interview with a man who works at a painting company.
He says, “When I get hungry, I zone out and end up making mistakes,” and in his daze he accidentally sprays paint on his boss.
The way he sprays with a blank expression—and with such force—almost feels refreshing, doesn’t it? (LOL) The first time he sprays pink paint, the second time green, and in the end he’s handed a dismissal.
ORIX “Motivation MAX! Logistics Facility” EpisodeIchiro, Rina Kawaei
This commercial features Rina Kawaei as an ORIX employee introducing the company’s logistics facilities to a friend, while also highlighting the company’s commitment to supporting logistics.
The key point is how she gets more and more passionate as she talks, which comically ends up embodying the catchphrase “Motivation MAX,” originally voiced as a complaint.
The humorous development of Ichiro watching her adds to the lively vibe and clearly conveys a cheerful mood and a positive attitude.

Riken Indian Curry Shop’s Mysterious Dressing: “Entering the Store” Edition
This commercial introduces the curious charms of an Indian curry restaurant in town, expressing love for its captivating, one-of-a-kind world—including its distinctive flavors.
It spotlights the salad among the dishes served there, portraying both the remarkable speed of service and the allure of a mysterious, unidentifiable dressing.
The story then develops with Riken turning this enigmatic dressing into a product, highlighting that you can enjoy it at home, too.
Because the ad shows the interior of the restaurant in such detail, it also conveys how faithfully it recreates the shop’s atmosphere, to the point that your image of the place really expands.
