Arnold Schwarzenegger Japanes Commericals - The Box Set
For those of you want to laugh for the next ten minutes, I invite you to watch this collection of Arnold Schwarzenegger commercials. Like a fireworks display they just keep getting better as the video moves along. I can't even imagine the millions of dollars he was paid for all of these. Well, I can imagine them, but I can imagine winning the lottery too. Doesn't mean it is going to happen.
I don't get it. Why do they make commercials overseas but not here? They must know that they'll be seen here, so that's not it...do they get paid more overseas?
ReplyDeletelol! i love them, they're so hokey!
ReplyDeletedang it, enty. now i want cup-o-noodles--do you KNOW how much sodium is in that crap...and summer is NOT a good time for water retention. *craves*
HA! Thanks Enty~ this is better than coffee!
ReplyDeleteAsian/European companies pay high dollar for US actors, who have it contracted that the commercial/ad campaign won't be shown in the US because it would "cheapen their brand" to be seen as doing commercials.
ReplyDeleteCruise, Pitt, Kidman and others have all done European ads that aren't shown here except on things like You-Tube.
Man, he could sure shovel a lot of noodles in his mouth at one time. Kinda made my stomach hurt watching it.
ReplyDeleteDie cho booie!
So were these done before he became governor?
ReplyDeleteMost of these commercials were produced before the Web was able to deliver video so easily... that is, AS and other stars never expected the U.S. audience to see them as pathetic, greedy, uncool shills.
ReplyDeleteBTW, some have even sued to prevent U.S. distribution.
Another great example of how celebrity hiding is no longer possible in the 24/7 Web universe.
The ones where he's coming out of the vitamin drink are super creepy.
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing these. Like he was just letting loose and having fun with the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI saw these on...I think it was O'Reilly (?) last night. Good God, they are creepy. But Japanese people just straight creep me out. I know that's not PC, but that country is all KINDS of fucked up. Selling little girl's used underwear in vending machines, hentai, anime, weeaboos, UGH. All the screeching, cat-in-heat music/talking in those commercials made me nauseous...wonder why they are so screwed up? Must be the fallout from the nukes we dropped...LOL! It's the only thing I can think of to explain the creepiness.
ReplyDeleteBut..I love Arnold, I really do. He's awesome, and "Running Man" is one of my favorite movies ever, so he gets a pass from me.
Oh, and I don't hold it against him that he's not fixing California, because I don't think CA CAN be fixed. Not even Ronald Reagan could fix that socialist parasite welfare state. Too bad, but you reap what you sow. I wish him luck with it anyway, at least he's trying.
