I kept waiting for him to throw down with Zero…

Kind of odd and kind of fun, AP.

I’m disrespectful to dirt!

Can you see I am serious!

Get out of my way, all of you!

This is no place for loafers.

Join me or die.

Can you do any less?

For lucky best wash, use Mr. Sparkle!

If you can’t watch ‘em all, 1, 3, and 5 are the ones not to miss. Like I said to one of our commenters in the Sinatra thread the other night, don’t question. Just believe.

I believe I just wasted several precious minutes. AP, you have got to get out more.

You’re safe as long as you don’t go to the trouble of using the ASCII code for the umlaut in ‘uber.’

I bet it’d be more memorable if aired with subtitles instead of a some wacked out voiceover. I mean, really, aside from the intros there isn’t anything that needs to be explained to people who missed the opening subtitles. I don’t know how often commercials in Japanese appear on American television, so maybe that novelty alone would be enough to help it get noticed.

The last video dance routine was the best. My niece heads to Japan for a year as a language teacher. I think she’s in for a culture shock.

Today I learned that otaku means geek in japanese. That now makes me an uber geek. Oh, crap! I just said uber in public! Oh, crap! I just refered to posting something in a blog as public! . . .

P.S. I am in good company though.

The otaku spirit is strong in this one…

That was, indeed, AWESOME! Thank you AP. Started my day off right.

Now – which candidate might adopt this style of advertisement?
