Title: Pocky and Miller Lite: Incredible (Kinda Off Topic) Coincedence
Post by: Craig_Mercer on August 20, 2002, 12:09:42 PM
It just occured to me that:

a. Comrade Tux has an affinity for Japanese snackfood Pocky.

b. Comrade Chestnut brought attention to the Miller Lite ad.

But, are you aware that the Miller Lite commercial is a ripoff of an award winning Japanese Pocky commercial?

In the Pocky original, a mousy secretary keeps eyeing her bosses Pocky supply, kept on a shelf over the photocopier, he leaves the office, she mounts the copier to get to the Pocky, inadvertantly hitting the start button and producing a few shots of her drawers, when uh-oh bossman enters unexpectedly etc.

See, I can notice other things in life beside you know what.

Happens quite a bit actually, with us none the wiser because how often do you get to see these foreign commercials in this country? Take for example a certain shampoo commercial that promises an organic experience: it's a ripoff of an English commercial for ice cream where a woman cries like she's having an orgasm while eating it. Incidently, the shampoo commercial downplayed this element quite a bit for while the sexual overtones are kinda hinted at in the American version, the English version was much more blatant (and a helluva lot more convincing).

On a side note, I am so sick of that shampoo commercial I could just barf!

Ah, I forgot about that Japanese commercial—I think I saw it on iFilm or something.  Damn funny too (oh and the look on the girl's face is about as priceless as the one in the Miller commercial).
