The really funny thing is that theyre all shot in LA, because aparently its easier to get a right-drive Celica to LA than to get Eddier Murphy to Tokyo.

But we get European actors, and American actors and Japanese actors and lots of other actors from other countries in our adverts. Are they funny because they're American actors but japanese adverts? Or are they funny because they're funny adverts? Why is it a site specifically aimed at American Hollywood actors in Japanese adverts? And why does that make it funny?

That's what I don't understand. confused

I mean, there's no site with British adverts that contain foreign actors. Why is it funny to see hollywood actors selling products in Japan? They probably are in adverts selling products all over the world.

Well, I think its funny because most of the actors on that list refrain from making ads in the U.S. to maintain some kind of "artistic integrity", for lack of a better term. Then they go right ahead and take ridiculous amounts of money to make an ad in another country. The american way, I suppose.

The fact that that they are Japanese ads makes them funny too. Have you seen any Japanese television? Sooo non sequitor and strange...I love it.

some of the ads are just plain funny but its also funny cause they would never make these ads over here in the US its kinda like they have this secret life in japan. anyway their might be a site with actors in the uk and other forgien countries we just might not know about it. i didnt wanna start a big discussion about why this is funny i just wanted to share this website with everyone so they could enjoy it like i am.

That's why it should be on Lifestyle... Current Events is like serious discussion smile

I guess I just misunderstood... I thought you wanted a reaction, seeing as that's generally what the Current Events is used for. Lifestyle is used to share fun things...

sure you didn't. that's why you filled up half this thread with your little semantic argument when Sadie pretty much summed it up in her first reply.

Japanese commercials are just funny regardless of celebrities. God Lost In Translation was rad! Cheers! smile

That would be an interesting set. 2 SGs ripping each other's clothes off, with fake blood dripping from noses and hair pulling.
