This commercial has everything. Comedy, romance, betrayal, and in the end, Long Long Man took us on a ride, a ride full of emotions. Truly, a remarkable piece.
I love the little detail at the last advert at the ending card, instead of "Sakeru Gummy *vs* Long Sakeru Gummy" it becomes "Sakeru Gummy *and* Long Sakeru Gummy"
they don't want to advertise against any of their own products, that's probably why they have the friend say that the short gummies have just as much net worth
@@y2shuproblem eh, they probably do it by weight. I doubt every person working to make this snack actually cares about putting the 'right' amount of pieces in every bag
I just realized why he likes him. The girl doesn't give a shit about bubble gums. She's just there for the action. The guy, on the other hand, is just as obsessed with them as long man. Like him, he's always chewing them or bringing them around, going as far as to bring them to his marriage. When he says "surely we'll understand each other" he meant that they both shared a passion. This is top tier storytelling.
She's not there for the action, but for the length. She explains it herself, claiming that looking at long things reassures her of her own mortality over an unnamed illness, affecting how long she has to live. It's also evident in what brings her back to Tooru-kun as well, as she realised that he's the same length as Long Long Man - just segmented for easier consumption. Side note, the two being the same length makes for some clever foreshadowing to the two's pairing looking back!
I'm kind of blown away by how they managed to actually keep the joke going, advertising the candy AND making a semi-decent, engaging and funny teledrama all at the same time. XD
I just realized that this commercial series actually won a digital media award back in 2018 because of the whole direction. Kudos to the people who came with this entire series.
Everything about this is a masterpiece: - the joke - the dramatic fainting - the coworker with a graph - the gay romance twist - the fact shes fucking hallucinating the guy everywhere - that she was just going to ditch the dude in the middle of their own wedding - long long man himself - that damn catch music
Also the fact that she supposedly has a health issue that is going to end her life soon, but completely ignored going forward, so it could very well be just a lie to get out of having an "affair" with the long gummy
It’s a beautiful touch how throughout the ads, they always end with ‘sakeru gummy *vs* long sakeru gummy’ but at the end it’s ‘sakeru gummy *&* long sakeru gummy’. They are no longer opposed and can live in harmony, it’s beautiful really
this is legit the best advertisement I've ever seen, so much effort, actually entertaining, interesting and so bizarre that you'll never forget about this candy
I just noticed, with the "sakeru gummy *VS* long sakeru gummy" scenes, the camera always seems to zoom in and focus on only Chi-chan's short sakeru, not Tohru's, during the "Long Long Man" riff part It always was a Chi-chan *versus* Long Long Man battle for Tohru's gummies and heart, even in the slogan
iirc, someone said that folks in japan were literally waiting for the next segment of the commercial reel to be released, like it was an actual serialized drama, with people getting genuinely invested in the comical relationship between these three.
Even though I laughed my ass off, the ending was an asspull, sorry but why would the long guy "sleep" with the girl if he was after the boy all the time? Anyway it is a commercial and a very funny one on top of it!
Wish SuperBowl ads didn't need to pass all kinds of red tape, because if they didn't someone could pay to play these ads throughout the SuperBowl. I would love it honestly. "Hurry up! I need to see what happens to Tooru-san!"
@@monot00nz they could at least make a long series with connected episodic ads cant they? And what about those dorito innuendo commercials the red tape never stopped those or the various superbowl bikini commercials or the infamous carls junior all natural burger ad from super bowl 2015
@@mmgmagic I DO remember hearing something about how an elephant sound was used for the Miguel theme as well. My best guess is that this is some stock sound effect and it just happened to be used in this commercial too, lol
@@azumiseguchi7401 about this: he never broke that gummy she wanted, and Touru finds it still intact when he goes there. From what we've seen I'm supposing it was the only long gummy he had on him at the time, which would mean that he probably just freaked out and left, and so the cheating only really happened in Touru's head as you're saying! Touru's found a catch!
This is how I want all commercials to be like from now on: in a series, with a plot twist, and STRONG sexual undertones in a sophisticated way and not just "person that's barely clothed"
It was his dream job ever since he was a Long Long Boy. He only felt that he earned the title of Long Long Man after get the Long Distance Bike delivery job.
That part where Long Long man and the girl is in bed is just Tooru's imagination when he saw the long strip on the bed. If you look at how Long Long man reacted when the girl tried to be fed the long candy in the mouth, Long Long man actually looked away in awkward confusion. (and likely bailed out after that, leaving only the long candy behind). Yes I am that invested in this dumb commercial, don't ask me why, I don't know either T_T
American Hollywood writers could learn immensely from this. A 6 minute commercial series had a complete story with plottwists, conflicts, and an absolute resolution at the end.
Note to non-Japanese advertisers: We don't use ad blockers because we hate commercials, we use them because we hate YOUR commercials. Make your commercials even 1/10th as good as this and we'll watch them. Also: LONG LONG MAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaAaaaAAAAAAAAAnnNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
3:50 Long long man heard Tohru-kun's proposal to Chi-chan and was so shocked he let go of the balloons he was holding. This is when he knew it was his last chance to confess his love to Tohru-kun.
@jackmclean4120 he's just like "oh long long man!" And Chi-Chan is just like "oooo long long man." Poor LLM got the reaction he wanted... from the wrong person.
Actually no. Japanese humor depends un 意外性/unpredictability so there’s no foreshadowing intended as that would risk the punchline getting exposed early.
In the second to last clip, you can already see Long Long man lookin in Tooru's direction, he only looked at Chi-San when she ran up to him. It's those tiny details i like in these Long Long man commercials.
Every couple of months I go back and rewatch this commercial serie and every time I appreciate and respect every damn detail placed into this. This is just a marvelous thing in every aspect. You have: - Identifiable characters, so you immediately recognize the commercial - A cheesy song, so it gets stuck in your head - A plot drama, making you think about the commercial long after it was shown to you But not only that, the more you watch it the more details you identify. Things like: - Short man is ALWAYS shown carrying the small bag of gummies - Chi-Chan ALWAYS drops something when seeing the real Long long man. - The "Long long man" song not appearing when Long man is not shown or referenced. (Commercial at 2:30 and 3:00 ) - All the not so obvious "long" references, like: - "I want to look at it longer" - The shirt on Long man at 1:31 saying "Long distance bike" - "Waiting for a long time" And my favorite of them all, you technically COULD see this plot twist from miles away if you analyze that Long long man is the ONLY guy that we see eat the gummies. Short guy carries them, but never eats them. Only Chi-chan does. If the gummies are a low innuendo about penis sizes and the Long man is the only guy we see eat them, you could deduce that he is gay right from the first episode. Awesome job Sakeru Gummies.
Daniel García The Long Long Man song does play for the commercial at 2:30 and 3:00. It’s just a variant stripped down to the main melody played on the piano in a different slow tempo.
There's also the fact that Long Man looks uncomfortable when Chi-Chan comes onto him in that third advert, which you might not catch onto upon a first viewing without knowing the twist.
Bro, at 3:50 Did anyone else notice how Long long man let go of the balloons after Tooru-San proposed? Im pretty sure he was in shock- shooketh, one might say.
This sounds stupid, but this made me cry. I had a best mate who I use to walk to school with everyday, one day when I was about 13/14 I showed him this and he loved it. It was the joke we would often say to each other, he passed away almost 3 years ago at the age of 16 to a brain tumour. May his soul be blessed by God
I just noticed that the Dramatic piano that appears when she's "dying" and talking with her friend is just the Long Man's Theme but sadder and I'm living for it XD
The piano is playing only the LOOOOOOOOOONG LOOOOOOOONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN part. This is much more evident in the next commercial with the co-worker.
My friend sent this to me a very weird hour in the morning so the ending took me by such surprise that I ended up falling off my bed laughing and screaming into a pillow I love this too much, it is a cinematic masterpiece
Don't forget Top Ten Anime Musical Numbers, and Top Ten Anime Crossovers. When Uncle Iroh makes a surprise appearance at the Long Long Man's baby shower to sing Girls from Ba Sing Se, I started bawling my eyes out. It was just such a touching, emotionally charged moment that they had been building up to for so long. "It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se But the girls in the city they look so pretty And they kiss so sweet that you've really got to meet The girls from Ba Sing Se! "
So was this ad campaign split up over multiple weeks and only people who paid attention would have gotten the full storyline? This is so elaborate and goofy plus all those innuendoes just to sell a candy. I love it!
Is that not common where you are? Where I'm from there have been ad campaigns with stories that go on for years (not that they quite match up to this work of art)
I saw this at a panel for Anime Weekend Atlanta and everyone laughed every time ~Long Long Man~ played. The moment he walked up to the dude at the wedding when the jingle played the whole room erupted in laughter
This is like a 200 episode soap opera distilled only into scenes that matter.
arciks11 This is better than R. Kelly trapped in the closet
...and it's absolutely beautiful
this is a cinematic masterpiece
I'd watch the 200 episodes its "long long man and normal gum man and the random girl that ruins the opera"

When he says "surely we'll understand each other" he meant that they both shared a passion.
This is top tier storytelling.
Their names are Tooru-kun (bf), Chii-chan (gf), and Long long man if you didn't know. :D
And yes, this storytelling is way more than a 10/10. I'd give it a 15/10 if there was an option.
She's not there for the action, but for the length. She explains it herself, claiming that looking at long things reassures her of her own mortality over an unnamed illness, affecting how long she has to live. It's also evident in what brings her back to Tooru-kun as well, as she realised that he's the same length as Long Long Man - just segmented for easier consumption.

Went from "You vs. The Guy She Tells You Not To Worry About" to "You and The Guy She Told You Not To Worry About"
In the end, he was the Guy she should have worried about
oh that's interesting, considering how the end cards to the ad changes from "short vs long" to "short and long" in the last ad
You and the Guy She Thought She Didn't Need To Worry About
I want this to be a more popular trope in stories 😭😭
so basically if you are not the long one just have a g*ng b*ng to adds up the size
This man seduced Tooru's wife just to drive them apart and to have Tooru all to himself. Absolute madlad.
I think the seduction was all in Chi-chan's head.
The ultimate flex
He doesn't. Long long man always have his eyes to Tooru, the woman mistakenly think he looks at her

- A cheesy song, so it gets stuck in your head
- A plot drama, making you think about the commercial long after it was shown to you
But not only that, the more you watch it the more details you identify.
Things like:
- Short man is ALWAYS shown carrying the small bag of gummies
- Chi-Chan ALWAYS drops something when seeing the real Long long man.
- The "Long long man" song not appearing when Long man is not shown or referenced. (Commercial at 2:30 and 3:00 )
- All the not so obvious "long" references, like:
- "I want to look at it longer"
- The shirt on Long man at 1:31 saying "Long distance bike"
- "Waiting for a long time"
And my favorite of them all, you technically COULD see this plot twist from miles away if you analyze that Long long man is the ONLY guy that we see eat the gummies. Short guy carries them, but never eats them. Only Chi-chan does.
If the gummies are a low innuendo about penis sizes and the Long man is the only guy we see eat them, you could deduce that he is gay right from the first episode.
Awesome job Sakeru Gummies.
It's so good it made you do literary analysis on an ad
One little correction, in the second advert Chichan doesn't drop anything.
Damn that is deeper than the adult swimming pool.
Daniel García The Long Long Man song does play for the commercial at 2:30 and 3:00. It’s just a variant stripped down to the main melody played on the piano in a different slow tempo.
There's also the fact that Long Man looks uncomfortable when Chi-Chan comes onto him in that third advert, which you might not catch onto upon a first viewing without knowing the twist.
The lore in this storyline is compelling. My heart skipped a beat at that plot twist, i was so engaged.
Tooru: "Are you going to take my bride?!"
Long Long Man: "No.... You"
The best No U joke in history…
Dude I literally screamed and cheered at the ending. American advertising has to learn from this masterpiece.
Screamed and cheered and camed

@@tuckergoodin7684 _You will learn to do the same soon, like him, and like the long, long man_
Exactly, these ads were an entire anime season and we need more
@@jackmclean4120 pause
Bro, at 3:50
Did anyone else notice how Long long man let go of the balloons after Tooru-San proposed? Im pretty sure he was in shock- shooketh, one might say.
He thought that his man-crush-Monday was being stolen away forever from him.
Yet he didn't give up and crashed his marriage.
Tooru x Long Long Man
It also serves as a reason for the camera to pan upwards showing his long long ears
The depth of writing is stunning for a gum commercial
I think a part of my brain will always have this running in the background until my last breath and I'm not complaining.
You on your deathbed:
"I have only one regret..."

his is way thicker though, that counts for something damnit! lol

For some reason, I find myself watching this at least once every year.
You don't need a reason
I watch this at least once a month. That ending caught me off guard and now I keep coming back to this video
@@Scalesofnight Zero is plural, fyi
@@BuiDucTri huh?
You should make watching this either a Christmas tradition or something for New Years. XD
long long man wasn't the bisexual representation we wanted but he's the bisexual representation we needed
Technically the representation is Tooru
Brother, true... Tooru is the bottom here.
@@sadog3485 Yeah, as far as we know LLM is just gay, but Tooru definitely swings both ways.
I like to imagine there is just a guy and a whole band just following long long man to play his theme whenever it is appropriate
Their not even on contract. They just decide to show up when necessary.
The Long Man Cinematic Universe is looking good
Post Credits Scene: Tooru-kun, I came to tell you about the Long Long Men Initiative"
Just realized at 1:48 the back of his jacket says:
*long distance*

This sounds stupid, but this made me cry. I had a best mate who I use to walk to school with everyday, one day when I was about 13/14 I showed him this and he loved it. It was the joke we would often say to each other, he passed away almost 3 years ago at the age of 16 to a brain tumour. May his soul be blessed by God
I'm deeply sorry for your loss, he'll be watching you from the sky making sure you're happy! :D
While you two cannot meet each other again, this memory shall pull him close to you
My condolences
@@annoying_HK_guy Not in this life maybe.
I'm sure he's laughing from heaven my dude. You were there for him when mattered the most, that's all that's important.
May he rest peacefully.
I just noticed that the Dramatic piano that appears when she's "dying" and talking with her friend is just the Long Man's Theme but sadder and I'm living for it XD
The piano is playing only the LOOOOOOOOOONG LOOOOOOOONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN part. This is much more evident in the next commercial with the co-worker.
Her friend? Bro
My friend sent this to me a very weird hour in the morning so the ending took me by such surprise that I ended up falling off my bed laughing and screaming into a pillow I love this too much, it is a cinematic masterpiece
same here 😂😂
I did the same the first time I watched it (without falling off my bed) at 6pm. It's that good.
My friend too 🤣🤧
brother sent me this
My friend too
Except it was a threat
3:01 that girl's friend gives a better perspective than anyone could do in their life

Don't forget Top Ten Anime Musical Numbers, and Top Ten Anime Crossovers. When Uncle Iroh makes a surprise appearance at the Long Long Man's baby shower to sing Girls from Ba Sing Se, I started bawling my eyes out. It was just such a touching, emotionally charged moment that they had been building up to for so long.
"It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se
But the girls in the city they look so pretty
And they kiss so sweet that you've really got to meet
The girls from Ba Sing Se!

so this is a Wholesome NTR?
better storyline than got s8
long man doesn't just steal your girl, he steals you as well.

If these are the ads TH-cam is forcing us to see I ain’t gonna complain.
SpyroDragonShades You should star by touching it....
*New!* LONG LONG MAN CANDY NOW WITH CREAM INSIDE!
but how will you know that there is a shitty game of thrones mobile game, that is nothing like the commercial.
Years later, still hilarious. 😂 Still one of the best romantic stories. ❤
6:17 when the "vs" turns into "&"... ha!
Love-Hate relationship 😏
so romantic
YOOOOOOOOOO
You can see Chi-chans almost laughing face at the end there. She's really trying to not laugh.
Karl wasn't wrong about this bring an emotional rollercoaster
He absolutely was not
Exactly what brought me here, was certainly not disappointed.
Japan is truly the 'absurd cultural' juggernaut of our time. Everything they do goes further into the abyss of the human psyche than anyone else.
Damn it you too
definitely
The Marvel Universe has nothing on this.

3:08 genuinely one of the hardest plot twists
I FEEL LIKE I WATCHED A JAPANESE SOAP OPERA IN A FEW ADVERTISEMENTS. I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL AFTER THAT
it's nice that Tooru-san got rid of a girl that didn't like him. Long man is the real hero.

The best anime of the season no doubt

So was this ad campaign split up over multiple weeks and only people who paid attention would have gotten the full storyline?
This is so elaborate and goofy plus all those innuendoes just to sell a candy. I love it!
Welcome to Japan Marketing
@@ProtoPropski ah see this video is the long gummy and the original state of the ads was the smaller segmented gummys
LONG LONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
Is that not common where you are? Where I'm from there have been ad campaigns with stories that go on for years (not that they quite match up to this work of art)
American commercials are fucking trash 90% of the time lol.
I saw this at a panel for Anime Weekend Atlanta and everyone laughed every time ~Long Long Man~ played. The moment he walked up to the dude at the wedding when the jingle played the whole room erupted in laughter
This is the proper way to make an advertisement.
hi im shana it makes me want to tray the product
