Sometimes American celebs feel off about endorsing a product in a commercial, or at least they feel reluctant do so on TV here in the States or in Europe. Enter Japan, where several popular actors like Nicolas Cage and Arnold Schwarzenegger have appeared in madcap spots selling soft drinks and other things we don’t get see here.
Good Mythical Morning’s Rhett and Link take on this trans-pacific pop culture conundrum, and they quiz each other on what might happen in these commercials with Britney Spears, Sylvester Stallone, Cage, Arnold, and more. It’s just eye-opening to see what these celebs do in these off-the-wall commercials. It’s all a head-spinner but you also have to appreciate the sense of humor and the unique way they pitch a product in these commercials.
It does remind me of that classic Simpsons episode where Homer finds his likeness is being used to sell laundry detergent called ‘Mr. Sparkle’.
