Double Front Flip Fail

Sometimes you already know what you're about to see, yet something in the back of our mind tells us to watch the video anyway to confirm just how crazy it is.

The title of this video is "Double Front Flip Fail"

Nothing absurd…but you still want to see it, don't you.

GEEZ! a lot worse than you expected it to be, no?

The first time I saw this, I had a "ooooooooooh!!!" moment at 7am in the morning.

Great way to start the day thinking, "I'm sure my day is better than this guys"

Lowered Expectaions

In a land before internet connection ruled the world, 

there was video dating.

This is a montage of the best of the best video dating introductions/pick-up lines.

So sit back, relax, and let the creepy begin.

My personal favorite is Bon Jovi Jr at 1:45. 
How come they don't make men like him anymore?

The Backwards Man

Now this, is a pretty neat music video.




Using rewound video footage is nothing new,
but this video is shot ENTIRELY backwards, including the singing.


The icing on the cake?
600 PILLOWS, yes pillows were used in the making of the video. 





pretty damn cool, no?


My favorite part is around the 2:28 mark where it looks as though pillows are being thrown on them and they catch it in the perfect pose. 


very creative, very neat.




Be sure to check out RhettandLink's YouTube channel, their other stuff is pretty cool too.

Japanese Commercials

One of more frequent questions I get from people after I tell them I live in Japan, is 

"Why are Japanese commercials so crazy?"

I wish I had an answer, but unfortunately I don't. 

So until I come up with one, please take this time to enjoy some of my personal favorites:

Let's start off with some of the basics.

Who said Afghan hounds were hard to train!?

This is why Japanese commericals are so great, the dog has absolutely NOTHING to do with the chips this commercial is selling.

Look, I get where they were trying to go with this, these particular chips have a "punch" of consommé, which they attempt to express multiple times through a play on words, with the dog being "punched" with heartbreak after he sees the kid has a crush on.......Uh yeah, I have no idea where they were trying to go with this.

This one's more weird than funny:

I genuinely don't understand.

At all.

The dude in the clip is part of a popular Japanese boy band called SMAP.

So, I get the celebrity endorsement, 
I get the keep-product-in-frame-at-all-times to sell the product, 
I don't get the gradually-wearing-more-fruit element. 

The commercial is a couple years old, but the same guy is still to this day the spokesperson for Dole.

The Ad must have been a hit with Dole if they decided to keep him on board. *shrugs shoulders*

A friend of mine sent me this one a couple weeks ago, and it instantly became one of my favorites.

I wonder how many takes it took to get it right.

On second thought, I don't care. This commercial is amazing regardless.

This one I saw on TV very recently. 
and surprise! it also exploded on the internet. I had a feeling it would…

I feel like this is one of those commercials you'd see on "World's Best banned commercials".

It's creative, and (a little too) memorable, but I'm not sure if it makes me want to go to Fuji-Q High land.

Have a favorite Japanese commercial?

Send them to me!

Just Dance

Now this is absolutely precious.


The video starts off just like any home video of a mother video taping 
her cute daughter gettin' her groove on.


...then something that'll blow your mind starts to happen.


No, no one dies.

It's obviously not an amature video, it's actually a commercial for the Samsung Galaxy Phone,

buuut it's still pretty spectacular, no? (not to mention friggin adorable!)

Surely one of the most creative commercials I've seen for a while.

Hats off to the creative team!

Creepy cat is creepy

I can't stop laughing at this creepy kitty.


Even funnier if you've seen the movie Inception.
