Japanese Fanta Advertising

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 08:32:56 +0000

This is how you advertise Fanta in Japan. You take a popular television classic, in this case Sannen Deegumi Kinpachi Sensei (Mr Kimpachi Teacher of Class 3-D). Make a ridiculous parody featuring all kinds of funny teachers including a Bruce Lee guy and a DJ. People laugh. They buy fanta (hopefully).

Here is a compilation of ads from the campaign.

Good old pan kun, who we previously saw playing Jenga – now get’s a baseball lesson. Clever chimp.

Pan-kun (born October 1, 2001) is a young chimpanzee in Japan often featured on the NTV television show “Tensai! Shimura Dōbutsuen” Most of the segments feature him friends, embarking on a variety of “human” tasks, like buying groceries, planting a rice paddy, or catching insects.

Insect dudes must scoot through tunnel, ...

It’s time for another installment of our favorite Japanese game show: Crazy dudes in insect costumes performing ridiculous stunts before bad-breathed female spiderwoman belches in their face!

This episode sees the contestants scootering through a tunnel of styrofoam walls. Touch the wall and you FACE THE PAIN. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

The punishment for failure, is a common theme in Japanese game shows. It is known as ‘batsu-game’ which literally means penalty game. This usually involves doing or experiencing something very unpleasant.

Believe it or not, this is a WEEKLY GAME SHOW in Japan. It’s shown just after primetime and it rates very well. Although physical comedy based game shows like this are common in Japan, the spandex insect costumes take this to another level.
