Bizarre Kikkoman flash

Submitted for your consideration:

This and This

Too funny.

-mdf

Lots of homoerotic stuff going on in the first one.

Why does this remind me of Mr. Sparkle?

“There’s your answer, fishbulb.” -Bart Simpson

In the first one:

What are those fried doohickeys? Kittens?
Why are sugarcubes being bandied about? Does Kikkoman make them, too?
Who hung the kitty and why?

This reminds me of that bizarre Japanese soapbox video ad that Homer Simpson once watched.

How about why does Kikoman have a FISH SHAPED HEAD?!?!?!

I was thinking salt crystal for cube-man’s head, and maybe hot mustard for the yellow pot-head [sub]heh. There’s definitely a pot-head involved here somewhere.[/sub] There was also a quick flash of another figure with “Heints” on its chest - mistranslated Heinz? Something else entirely? Dunno.

The kitty thing is a shrimp…I think

The kitty things are tempura shrimp. (Cause, you know, they go well with soy sauce.)

There was definately ketchup involved. Unfortunately, my somewhat limited Japanese didn’t process the rest of it fast enough in the face of “I never realized my soy sauce was gay before”.

Heh. These guys look like alternate characters in the “Too Much Coffee, Man” comic strip:

Too Much Sugar Man
Too Much Sake Man
and, um,
Too Much Sashimi Man?

I’ve had days when I felt like Too Much Sake Man.

The lyrics at that point sound a helluva lot lot “Ketchup something something mayonnaise-ah.”

Fish head for fish sauce?

P.S.

I’d like to recommend “Silver Swan” soy sauce.

Soy sauce is made from soy

And I think “shoyu” means soy sauce in Japanese.

Yea, but what about “show me”? Why did he hang the kitty? Can somebody translate that? This isn’t official Kikkoman is it? Doesn’t showing Kikkoman in bed with that Sailor Moonish type female break some kind of law? Do Japanese people put soy sauce on bananas?
Strange.

Um, good?

Was it just me or did that cat look like one of the cats from the sad-kitty-in-a-box-singing flash animation from a while back?

Soy sauce on bananas? ::shudder::

Show you, show me. It’s a pun.

I don’t get the soy sauce on bananas, either. Unpeeled bananas.

I’m guessing tofu for the square head guy. No clue on the kitten.
