@ SammieJane: Welcome! Glad you liked these commercials. Who knows, in the context of their own homelands, perhaps they make perfect sense.

The “snorting sink” was perhaps my favorite. Did you notice how the last shot was of the box eerily lying upside-down and half-buried by snow? Bleak, man–but that’s Russia!

@ Cody: Yeah, we have some winners in our local market. The worst ones I’ve seen were from my days in Louisville, KY. They had the capgun cowboy used car dealer, the “I’m-so-crazy-I-have-to-wear this-straitjacket” electronics dealer and the “we care for you” personal injury attorneys. It’s like they were unaware that nobody’d done those things before.

That Japanese milk one was really strange. I wonder what they were advertising…

Foreign commercials may be odd, but they can’t beat low budget American commercials for local companies. I saw a pretty bad one recently involving an inflatable King Kong an some poorly done image overlays. It may have been for a car dealership. I couldn’t tell what they were advertising through the suckiness.

Ok, I really enjoy the milk guzzling tit popping commercial. Makes one wonder what’s really in those jugs. Of milk that is.
