I'm a Japanese and I haven't seen some of the commercials in the video, but I can explain a few things. The little text at the end of the graphite one says "Graphite is used to make mechanical pencil lead" more or less. Graphite as an ingredient is not well known so I guess they thought it necessary to point that out. The little guy whom the woman carrying a fridge was looking for represents charcoal and the product the commercial was about was a kind of air freshener for a fridge. Air fresheners using charcoal are not uncommon. I'm aware that with the amount of comments here it's unlikely many people read this comment, but if any of you would like some things explained, I'd be happy to try my best. p,s, Japanese logo at the beginning was a nice touch. Except, it's spelled ジャックセプ "ティス" アイ and it sounds like Jack-septis-eye (tis as in 'tis in eraly modern English for it's) If it's spelled "ティック" instead, it would sound more like the "tick" sound in English. Sorry for writing a thesis here. Liked the video :)

Japanese man: *flips out of chair and slaps whiteboard* Future Jack: *MM yes my teacher taught me well-*

I love how Japan is full of very formal people and yet absolutely no one knows what is happening in half their commercials.

Jack: "his heart is shaped like graphite" Also Jack: draws a heart shape in the air

“I need to back off, *J A C K O F F* , and regroup-“ Alrighty then, Jackaboy....😂😂

Answering Jack's question: the commercial featured space dog(a white shiba inu) is for a telecom company in Japan (named Softbank), they have a whole series of commercial featured a dog as "father" of a family (while the rest is human). In the "strong zero" drink commercial, it is not that the drink don't work the guy, he was interrupted by the lady with a question so he can't enjoy the drink. The one that featured Bruce is the government promoting new fuel charges it seems. And yes, don't brush your teeth with that. That's super glue. The boy used graphite to spell out "like/love" in Japanese and put under his arm as a thermometer. And at the end, that line in Japanese writes "Graphite is refill for mechanical pencil". So they are like "oh so we have been using it wrong?!" And the fridge one is selling deodorant for fridges and the product is made of charcoal (a special type that is known to be able to absorb smells). PS I love when Jack mimic the Japanese lines and lyrics.

Man back flipping over chair to hit the whiteboard Jack: LAUGH

*Japanese commercial plays* Nobody: Jack: I need to back off, Jack off, and regroup

Graphite's a pretty big deal in Japan, actually. You have to get smaller/sharper lead for your pencils than you do in many other countries in order to write the detailed kanji clearly enough to distinguish. When I started studying Japanese I had to import pencils with tiny lead that also rotated it as you write so it stayed pointy/even on all sides. As for the fridge ones, I believe it might have been activated charcoal, which can be used to absorb smells. You can put it anywhere, but fridges are a good place to absorb smells from.

‘She drank it. Then sprayed it all over him... that’s hot...’ - Jacksepticeye

Me and my Japanese friend: watches- Me: Looks at friend- Your country is extremely weird..

Bruce Willis: *in a Japanese car add* Gorillaz: "Write this shit down"

So, somebody has probably done this already, but let's explain what these CM's are about. Also i will add in parentheses if they are seen as weird in Japan. 1. Product is Consome flavored Potato chips. I...uh.....yeah (Weird) 2. Softbank company, a giant conglomerate in Japan mostly known for their Telecommunication services (hence the satellite connection to space). The dog is the Mascot of Softbank and is called Otou-san, or Dad, pretty werid but adorable. This CM alone doesn't make sense, but this is actually a whole series of CM's about the Dog and his Family. Sadly the dog died recently. (Started Weird but is now adored in Japan.) 3. Galbo Twist. She is singing using onomatopoeia's for Crunchy, crispy and things like that. (Weird, but it gets the point across) 4. Strong Zero, I think It's a Chu-hi, I don't really drink it. The lady I'm assuming is an actress and the guy is her manager. She drinks, she splashes him, he tries to do the same, she interrupts him asking what time tomorrows bullet train is scheduled, and takes another swig. Most likely the splashing is supposed to symbolizing the Fizziness, i don't know. (Weird, but not super weird) 5. Daihatsu Car. I think there was more before this one where they try to make him say that phrase. They offer him tofu, telling him it's low calorie, and low cost. Bruce perks up when he hears Low Cost and says the name of the car, the panel the Businessman is holding shows a litre for 30 kilometers. (Weird, but Japan loves Bruce Willis a lot) 6. Dole Banana. Umm, uhhh, he's a banana man....yeah....The person playing him is a famous Idol though! (Weird, very Weird) 7. SU Super Glue. Something falls off, the girls show up and repeat the name of the super glue, that's about it. Fun fact in Japan we use the name Secchakuzai or Bond.(Not really Weird, straight to the point) 8. Jack was 100% correct, product is Escape room. People getting stuck in walls is an old trope in comedy manga, it also mentions the chance of escaping as 1 out of 10,000. (Not weird at all, using an old trope and is straight to the point.) 9. Pokemon and Trading(?) cable. Simple, girl asks old guys if they want to play pokemon, they ask her who she is. Sadly I can't tell you if she was famous or not I have no idea. After that they show you people young and old playing together, with the text Pokemon Friends. (Weird now, back then? No idea.) 10. Graphite. The narrator says everything before Graphite. Graphite rain, graphite themometer (under the arm), graphite proposal etc. At the end the text is, "※Oh by the way, graphite is Sharp pencil lead." (Not super weird, funny, but not too weird) 11. Kirin Hyouketsu. Ah, yeah cute girls dancing and saying the name of the product. (Not even close to weird) 12. Cup Ramen. This is another series with many different people dancing to the song. This time it is a group of SHOCKERS, villian minions from a popular show called Kamen Rider. Think power rangers, just cooler (Yeah, I went there).Shockers scream, "Ee!!" because they aren't human, the lady Says, "Ii" which means, "Good".(Weird, but more or less people will be able to recognize the characters and get a laugh out of it). 13. Docomo market/Store. This was specifically for the Movies they sell. The song playing in the background says ,"Watch movies on your smartphone!", and that's really it. Not really sure why it's on his arm, not sure why it's a samurai, just not very sure. The guy might be from a drama, or the arm thing may be a refrence to an old jidai-geki, but i don't know. (Weird, mostly relies on momentum, so I wouldn't say it's funny either) 14. Sour gummies named, simply, SOURS . Another CM Series. This is weird, BUT the weirdness tones down a bit when you know the meaning. "Kame" means Turtle but is also one of the onomatopoeia's for chewing, so they are saying, "chew chew SOURS". The outfits look a bit like Villians in tokusatsu shows so I guess that's why there is a Super Sentai like guy there as well. (VERY Weird, but the characters had such an impact we remembered them very easily) 15. Charcoal to absorb smell. She say's it stinks in the fridge and starts searching for charcoal, then she finds it. Thats it. (It's ridiculous, but it's easy to understand it was done to get your attention.) 16. Acuo Mint Gum. Ya know the sound Bruce lee makes, good. The Kachou (Manager) screams, "KACHOU", the text says, "Kachou's suggestion". Repeat for Buchou (Manager in a higher position) . The Younger guy starts losing it, the text says, "Business is a battle". The guy screams, "ACUO" and the text says, "start by changing your breath". (I guess it is a bit weird, Funny more than anything.) 17. Jagariko Potato Snacks. This is a long series of CM's almost all made the same way with a slight change, just different famous people. (VERY Weird to people that don't know the past ones, not too weird too us since we've seen this style for maybe 20 years) 18. Meiji Chocolate. To quote Jack, "I have SO many Questions!" (Weird, very, very Weird.) 19. Pucchin Pudding. The lady is Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, practically our equivalent of Lady Gaga, she's insane and is sickly sweet and cutesy. This was one of the Pudding's 40th anniversary CM's. The old guy probably remembers the Pudding from his childhood, and becomes happy. Not very sure. (Weird, but just like Gaga; when we see Pamyu Pamyu we know we are in for something weird.) Sorry for Such horrendous grammar, I'm not used to typing so much. Since this was almost all off the top of my head, If you want to know something more specifically I can try to find the answer. G'day.

Jacksepticeye: “these videos aren’t going to be too crazy” First video *say sike right now*

11:36 "is your refrigerator running?" "Well you better go catch it! **hangs up** "

12:54〜「kachooo!!」= manager 　　　「buchooo!!」= general manager 　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　in English

how to make Jack happy: 1. give him a whole graphite mine. 2. give him unlimited food so that he won't be hungry during videos.

I now wanna see "Jacksepticeye's What the Hell Was That?".

japanese culture: chill japanese adds: LOOK AT THIS GRAPHHHH.

Who else wants to see Sean do another one of these but with Evelien so she can explain what they're about?

I was today years old when I realised 'Pokemon' is just short for 'Pocket Monster'.

“Back off, jack off, and regroup.” -Jacksepticeye 2018 and my new catch phrase XD

The “look at my muscle and watch ET” made me die

''Back off, j*** off and regroup'' 1:33

That business executive who backflipped out of his chair and smacked the presentation screen... that's the shit that dreams are made out of.

Japan's best products: 1. Anime 2.Graphite

Banana commercial: **exists** Jack: *I have been trained in the art of banana*

12:32 Jack when he got the whiteboard.

Guys it’s official... jacks going emo with that hair

Oh Jack, you know the internet. Everyone is going to give you graphite now. There's no turning back lol

This is one of the reasons I love Japan. Their commercials are both absolutely awesome and absolutely terrifying at the same time.

Me when I’m about to sleep: hope I don’t have a nightmare jacksepticeye: 16:00

Jack: Do You ever find yourself half stuck in a wall trying to get to hogwarts but the train leaves before you can get through the wall? *Me TOO* 😂😂😂

“So it’s like drugs?” “It’s better than drugs Jeremy, ITS FROM JAPAN!!!” I hope someone understands this. Please. At least one person.

When the backflip guy hit the board i was like LAUGH!

Mushroom alien child: exsists. Jack: is that majin buu?

In the graphite advertisement it was in his arms because it was a thermometer, thats why he sneezed

Jack your Japanese pronunciation is amazing This is no joke his Japanese pronunciation is actually good.

5:54 That was glue... Now I can imagine jack just brushing his teeth while singing "S, U"

I love to think that people who are from Japan are like: Yeah we make masterpieces.

I think the reason that dude had the graphite under his arm because he was sick so the nurse took his temperature with a thermometer / graphite.

The under the arm part of the graphite commercial was him being sick from going out in the graphite rain. So he was checking his temperature with it.

5:45 idk what are why we are buying tooth paste but I don’t care. If a whole cheerleading squad just appears in my backyard i’d be pleasantly surprised!

The translation in the subtitles is so much better than most, shoutout to whoever did them

Whoever did the subtitles is a legend for translating ALL of that 🤯👊👍

That chocolate commercial had the perfect recepie for a kidnapping. Lies. Candy. Trenchcoat idk

“Graphite ever after” Ah yes, we all want to live graphite ever after 🤣🤣

Whoever did these captions and explained everything so well, I love you.

Why do I get the feeling that Sean would be perfect for starring in Japanese commercials?

*man backflips out chair and hits the board* me: LAUGH

I lost it when he said, " why didbthe baby pat himbon the mhmmhm" 😂😂😂😂😂

Jackaboy: "Is that majin buu?" *_*epic relatable gamer moment*_*

“Thanks banana man you saved our Business” *gets add* Wha-

Here's what I managed to figure out: 0:56 That's Calbee's (a Japanese snack company) commercial for their "Consomme Punch" flavored potato chips (it says "punch" on the dog collar) 1:52 That's an advertising campaign (for a new smartphone) by the Japanese multinational telecommunications and Internet corporation SoftBank Group Corp. It features the "Shirato Family", which has a white shiba inu (called "Otou-san", meaning "father" in Japanese) as the family father. 2:36 That's an hypnotic chant-jingle for Galbo twist, which is a kind of chocolate snack 3:31 Strong zero is a brand of sweet alcoholic beverages (the alcohol percentage is about 8%). 4:12 This is a commercial for Daihatsu’s Mira e:S (an eco-friendly car). The older man tells Bruce that tofu is healthy for the body, while the younger man adds that it is also low in calories and cheap. Then Bruce makes the connection between tofu (low in calories and reasonably priced) and the Mira e:S, shouting "Daihatsu Mira e:S" because it is an eco-car, light in weight and reasonably priced. 5:02 That's a commercial for the food company Dole, which features a "banana man" (called "Dole man" in the commercial) 5:43 That's a commercial for a super glue called "SU" (so you'd better not brush your teeth with it :P) 6:12 That's a commercial for an escape attraction called "despair fortress" (絶望要塞), from the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park (they say the chances of escaping are one in a hundred thousand). Guests who take on the challenge have to try to work through a labyrinth of countless doors, corridors, and rooms and strict security set up within the fort and make it out within the time limit. 6:55 Yes, that was the first Japanese Pokémon commercial (for Pokémon Red and Green). 7:37 In order, those were a graphite confession (it says "suki" on the paper sheet, which means "like/love"), a graphite goodbye (she says "sorry" and leaves), a graphite rain of sadness (because of the rejection, I guess), a graphite thermometer (that's why it's under his arm; he got a cold from being in the rain), graphite glasses (asking if he's okay), graphite ??? (while smiling, maybe something like "gratitude"), confession number 2, a graphite hit ("hitting" her heart), a graphite duet, a graphite proposal, a graphite paternal opposition, a graphite "this is a boring item, but..." (a default polite phrase when giving a present to someone), a graphite "okay" (accepting the gift), a graphite cake cutting ceremony (at the wedding), ending with "by the way, the grafite has a 'sharp' core" (a hard and thin kind of core). 9:37 Yes, Kirin is an alcoholic beverages company in Japan. 10:02 That's an ad for "Nissin Futomen Dodo" cup noodles; the skeleton guys are the "Shocker" villains from the Kamen Rider series (the ad says you'll be "shocked" by the noodles' taste and thickness). 10:32 That's an ad for a smartphone that lets you watch movies on it ("映画はスマホで" means "(watch) movies on a smartphone"); I think it's from 2012. 11:08 That's for Japanese gummy Sours ("sawazu"). They typically feature "monster turtles" (kaijin kame). 11:34 That's an ad for deodorizing activated charcoal ("sumi"); you can use in your fridge, freezer, produce crisper/drawer, or in places such as kitchen cabinets, shoe cupboards or closets. 12:31 That's an ad for a breath-freshening gum called "acuo" (which the last actor uses as martial arts shout uttered when performing an attacking, aka "kiai"). It starts showing the section chief's plan ("課長案"), then the (opposing) director's plan ("部長案"), and then saying "Business is a battle" (so chewing the gum to freshen your breath would be like preparing for that "battle"). 13:35 That's an ad for Calbee's "jagariko" (a brand of Japanese snacks that are essentially potato chips shaped as thin sticks that are sold in a cup-like package). 14:11 An obvious one, but that's an ad for Meiji's chocolate bars. 15:30 Another obvious one, but that's an ad for Glico's "Pucchin" Pudding ("pucchin" is an onomatopoeia for "snapping", which is the sound you hear when you take it off the package)

As a Danganronpa fan, I can tell you all that “Zetsubo” (around 6:38) means despair, which doesn’t make the commercial make any more sense, but the more you know.

9:25 Announcer: "By the way, graphite is mechanical pencil lead." (Punchline: They have been using graphite for everything except its intended purpose) Message courtesy of KZfaq captions

4:53-4:54 that was the cutest little high pitched laugh

Everyone send Jack graphite so that he doesn’t have to backpack his refrigerator in the jungle

3 years later, I make the same mistake as Jack, and watch these commercials on an empty stomach

why... does sean look so adorable in this video? like normally he looks good, but this video just has an adorable vibe to me. props sean

I actually bought graphite from that company in Japan. It’s actually very good quality. It could cut a cake too.

4:53 that is the cutest little laugh I’ve ever heard

When the people were stuck in the wall would've been an S-tier Pron Hub commercial.

Me:"sees Japan commercial in title" My brain: LONG LOOOONNGGG MAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

Guys you know what all to send Jack now…… LOADS OF GRAPHITE!!!!

Jack: Thank you banana man for being there with us Ad pops up: when did we forget our childhood passions

Some madlad just made subtitles for the Japanese parts. Everything made more sense xD

I believe the first commercial was the dog either trying to keep her spirits up or the dog was trying to tell her the secret of winning by mimicking a jumping fish therefore fish chips. It’s weird but the concept is funny as hell.

Jack 2018 "back off, Jack off, regroup"

In the graphite one, he had the graphite under his arm to take his temperature, as he got sick from being out in the graphite rain. And it's sad that I could make sense of that...

Did I hear him right? "Back off, Jackoff, and reconvene." That great for clearing the mind.

People in the world: I didn’t get it . Japanese: I didn’t get it either.

0:59 *Sean.exe has stopped working* _rebooting..._ *please wait. Do not turn off your computer*

12:30 how it feels to chew five gum Stimulate your sences

Breathes in magicarp, breathes out gyarados...I didn't notice that until the 3rd time watching and it was hilarious

Of course Bruce Willis speaks Japanese, he’s retired extremely dangerous

Jack... Sean. Bro. You know you're going to have so much more graphite than you thought you would ever see in your life

14:23 *_Law & Order_* *_Special Victims Unit_*

12:06, Actually that isn't Graphite, it's Charcoal. In Japan it's common for some Japanese folk to have a block of charcoal in your fridge. Charcoal is actually really good at absorbing odors and is antibacterial keeping your fridge odor free and feeling fresh. need to put fish in the fridge but don't want your refrigerator to smell like fish? Put in a block of charcoal and it'll get rid of the fishy smell. the commercial is for Kokubo Charcoal Refrigerator Deodorizer, the lady was searching for what I assume is their mascot.

Jack: helplessly tries to figure out what the majority of these commercials are about Me:Laughs in Weeb "愚かな死者" (Foolish Mortal)

7:37 "Graphite confession Graphite escaping/ rejection Graphite sad rain Graphite medical attention(?) Graphite glasses Graphite falling in love Graphite confession 2 Graphite falling in love(?) Graphite duet Graphite engagement proposal Graphite "Trying to convince the father to accept their relationship" Graphite "This isn't much but..." gift Graphite "Ok :D" Graphite cutting the marriage cake By the way, Graphite isn't sharp so..." I think this is what it says? I don't speak much japanese so I tried making a most accurate translation... Not sure about the last one tho.

Expect 90 kilos of graphite in the mail sometime next week jack

jacksepticeye was absolutely baffled for 17 minutes straight by Japanese commercials 😂 this's so funny

The guy who smacked the whiteboard said LAUGH!!! like jack does now

1:38 I need to back off, Jack off and regroup Jacksepticeye - 2018

What way do Mothers find food? - 11:36 1. Go to the forest 2. Carry a fridge on your back 3 When you realized that none of it is real

Who else that doesn’t want Sean to shut up or thinks he’s not annoying?Only me?

"Then I'll shut up like everybody wants me to" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes I like to watch the little ending snippet before the actual video So hearing "Don't forget to graphite that like button!" first made me very confused

*looks at Sean's hair* Oh no.... He's listening to K-pop

I’m beginning to think the Japan Advertising industry is just always on drugs. Like, a perpetual state of high

*Mushroom Baby chocolate ad finishes* Jack: I have so many questions. Me: I don't have any questions...for some reason.

"Jacksepticeye's What The Hell Was That?" Like if you want this series!

13:00 *"How it feels to chew 5 Gum; stimulate your senses."*

3 years late: I'm fluent in Japanese and the whole turtle thing is a pun. The Japanese word for turtle is a reverse intonation of the word for chew in a command form. So they're advertising chewy gummies.

To be fair, pencil graphite is an epic find 😂 that's by far the best ad I've ever seen (besides Geico ads)

2:36: WhAt?! Pewds: yOu'vE NeVer plAyEd tUbER SiMulaTor

Jack: *Japanese banana commercial comes on* "World's greatest piece of art that has ever been created!" *guy in commercial uses bananas as wings* Jack : *asks like nothing ever happened*

Whoever does the subtitles, you are amazing, keep up the excellent work!

I can only hope that Bruce said "I see dead people" in Japanese
