Wacky Commercials from Japan…Boo Hoo for Pocky

I always liked Japanese commercials more compared to American commercials for they go straight to the point after a very short demonstration or information about the product. I saw a rice au gratin commercial while I was in Japan that showed a woman eating the rice for about four to five seconds then straight to a picture of the product. In America its a commercial about 20 seconds long on demonstration that sometimes has no true relation that will direct you to the product, then they show the product. I think the Japanese are sadly picking up on this as they show these strange commercials that are exceedingly long, especially the pocky commercial that has almost no hint to the new “Pocky G,” but interesting nonetheless due to the kid head butting the dude that smashed his sand castle. I thought the “Boo Hoo For You” commercial was a bit discriminatory to those who’s phone isn’t as “functional” as those in Japan. I admit though that the English was great as the commercial was done by an English company I believe.
