( music playing ) Konnichiwa. When American celebrities aren’t starring in big Hollywood movies or sitting front row at Lakers games or in rehab, some of them can be found in Japanese commercials! So we’re going to play a little game with that, Link. I’m going to tell you about a Japanese commercial that has an American actor in it and then I’m going to give you some multiple choices. You’re trying to guess the correct answer. – Okay? – Oh, okay. Sometimes I feel like maybe I haven’t established that. – Yeah. – You’re trying to guess the correct answer. It’s hard to know. Okay, I’ll try to be right this time. – And if you get three– – Any aspect of the commercial. If you get three of these right you’re gonna win candy that is featured in one of the commercials. Is that it? Let me see this candy. No, don’t. I don’t want you to see it. I want you to experience it later. I’m looking at it. When Nicolas Cage isn’t screaming and acting like an insane person in American movies, he’s doing it in Japanese commercials. In this ad for a Japanese arcade game called Pachinko… – I hate those people. – I was that guy this year. – I’m sorry. – You ate tuna on an airplane? Yeah, I didn’t think it through. A baby or a werewolf is what I’m thinking. ( mocking Link ) Werewolf. I’m thinking of the CGI capabilities of Japan, and there’s no upper limit to it. I think it’s babies. I don’t know why. – I think it’s babies. – Babies. Let’s see if he’s right. Roll the commercial. So, you’re twins. – Both: No. – All: We’re triplets. – Link: Triplets! – What? Triplets: Fever. – Fever! – Fever. Fever. Fever! Fever! – Fever. Fever! – Yeah. Yeah, triplets give Nicolas Cage a fever! At one point in that commercial Nicolas Cage went… Yeah, yeah, yeah. What does a director have to say in order for that to be the thing– Nothing to Nic Cage. Nothing! – Nic, you do you! – You just say, “Nic, you do you! Yeah, exactly. I gotta say, still better than “Ghost Rider.” I was wrong. In this commercial for a Japanese bank, Brad Pitt takes on a role he’s never done before. See, they can take risks. – You know the American actors– – That’s the whole point. They think they can go over there and like cash– – Hide? – Cash in on the money– – They can’t hide! – And take risks. You can’t hide from us, Brad Pitt! Brad Pitt doesn’t have any money in a Japanese bank. Or does he? He is taking on a role he’s never done before on screen or off, a personal assistant, but… Okay. More with the babies. Because Brad Pitt is no one’s assistant! I think Brad Pitt would be in– Blah Pitt. A pop band called Arishi. Well, it’s Arashi. – Arashi. – Does that change your answer? Yeah, I’m going with needy sumo wrestler. Let’s see if he’s right! Link: Yes! Rhett: That’s a sumo wrestler. Watch what happens. A broken thong. Not a problem for Brad Pitt. Incidentally, Brad has never successfully lifted all of his children. – At once. – Hit me baby one more time with another commercial. In this Japanese candy commercial – Yes! – Britney is flying in a pink airplane while singing her classic “Sometimes.” She then feeds a piece of candy to her bodyguard which causes him to what? A, jump out of the airplane and parachute out of frame. B, break out into an awkward dance with Britney. C, grow a big juicy butt. Or D, go into diabetic shock because he shouldn’t be having sweets! I feel like I was hoping for “big juicy butt,” even before you said that. Hoping for a big juicy butt. – Like if it would just– – That kinda day. It is that kinda day. So, I’m definitely hoping for that. I think it would be ironic for a bodyguard to get a bulbous butt based on her song. I can see it. Show it to me. Let’s see it. Is he right? ♪ Really want is to hold you tight ♪ ♪ Treat you right ♪ ♪ Be with you day and night… ♪ – Rhett: Here we go. – Suki? – Suki. – Link: Suki. ♪ Baby, all I need is time… ♪ ( man speaking Japanese ) – Rhett: No, no big juicy butt. – Link: Dang it! Just a nice, awkward, weird dance. – What did– – That was some classic Britney. ♪ The song was so good and it all made it great ♪ ♪ Even though there wasn’t a juicy butt ♪ ♪ Anywhere to be found ♪ – Maybe there was, but it wasn’t his. – Yeah. Well, you know, it was all fun and games until you realized that was a Tide Pod. Ooh. – Yeah. – Tide Pod? Britney started the trend. Sure. Okay, Link, you missed that one. Sylvester Stallone is famous for playing a boxer who whacks Apollo Creed, but in this Japanese commercial he plays a golfer who whacks what? Who whacks. He’s whacking. I think think it’s a Chia pet because would they be spending all their marketing money– I’ve seen the American commercials. Ch-ch-ch-chia! Their spending all their money in Japan on Sly? – No way. – Okay. All right, you’re narrowing it down. Cans of beer or little sausages. ( mimics Stallone ) Hey, I don’t wanna– I don’t wanna advertise beer because– That’s what he said. So he turned down the beer. Oh, really? You’re working your way to little sausages? ( mimics Stallone ) Hey, I narrowed it down to the sausages. Okay. That’s your answer? – Little sausages. – Let’s see if he’s right! – Rhett and Link: Yes! – Bayern. Rhett: That’s a little sausage! ( man speaking Japanese ) – Bayern. – ( man speaking Japanese ) Yeah! ( speaking Japanese ) He don’t know what he’s said. Just give me the paycheck. He does not know what he said and neither do I. – It’s very difficult– – These little sausages are great. It’s very difficult to see exactly what is going on in that commercial, but our researchers have confirmed he was indeed whacking the sausages. We– we have researchers– Yeah, yeah, yeah. – They dug real deep. – Okay. Link, you got two right. In this commercial for a Japanese energy drink, the drink is played by a life-sized singing and dancing woman. When the top of her head unscrews like the top of a bottle, a genie pops out in a fit of laughter. Who plays this laughing genie? A genie pops out of a person’s head? Oh, gosh, you just can’t– Oh, it’s gonna be amazing. – Hmm. – He gets around. Yeah. Um… I can see Gwen Stefani. Like she– Gwen Stefani likes to wear midriffs. – True. – Like many of the lamp held genies. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. – It’s insight you’ve got. – But– But the Japanese ironic sensibility – is so honed. – Wow. I think they went with the big guy. – Arnold. – Oh. – Really? – For the win. Is he right? ( singing in Japanese ) Western town. – Link: Oh! – ( gasps ) Rhett: Who’s it gonna be? Who’s it gonna be? – Link: Is it? – Rhett: I don’t know yet. – Link: Is it Gwen Stefani? – Rhett: Yes! – ( maniacal laugh ) – Rhett: That’s Arnold! – Link: I actually couldn’t– – Rhett: You couldn’t tell? Look at the diastema. ( both speaking Japanese ) I don’t even feel happy about getting that right. – Really? – It was so scarring. Yeah, apparently the people of Japan loved the idea of drinking Arnold Schwarzenegger’s carbonated bath water. But, Link, you know what you like the idea of? – Winning! – Winning some candy! You won Richao. Richao. Four fruit flavors. – Britney loves it. – Flute flavors. And so does her bodyguard. Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing. You know what time it is. – I’m Cameron. – I’m Sarah. – I’m Elijah. – And I’m Julia.
