that was the best thing i've ever seen

God bless the Japanese.

That same thing happened to me once.

That was brilliant beyond brilliant.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

My god, that's weirdly awesome.

Hopefully followed by a commercial for tomato soup.

Lol, I thought it was a zit, until the end.

I think the fact that he was trying to put out the fire with a log is the funniest part of this ad.

I guess my title sucked 7 months ago...

Goma-mugi cha is tasty stuff, to boot.

Dudes must have had gonorrhea to start that fire...

The way it started (two guys getting out of their car in the middle of the woods and pulling themselves out) I was afraid it was a commercial for Japanese KY

I just don't understand how this culture has not yet A) utterly destroyed itself or B) conquered the planet.

It's not like they haven't tried one of the two, yanno!

Yatta!

They have tried in WW2 and failed, thus were forbidden to maintain an army ever since. That is the reason why they are unable to do harm now-a-days.

The United States stopped telling the Japanese what to do with their military decades ago. The limitations of military operations placed in their constitution 60 years ago by the U.S. are now fiercely defended by the Japanese themselves. Politicians who have advocated for a larger role for the military (for instance as peacekeepers, or as logistical support for the U.S.) have faced strong public opposition. So while we may have "forbidden" them from making an army originally, it is a transformation of their culture rather than outside pressure that makes them an essentially pacifist nation today.

and furthermore they were not forbidden, they forbid it themselves in their constitution. but there only a 'attacking' army is outlawed, thus a 'defence' army is allowed and in operation ever since. they have one of the most modern military on this planet. pardon the bad english

I was skeptical of this title, but I have eaten my words.

That wouldn't have worked so well on a vampire fire.
