Superficial Charade Sushi Ads

The Gin No Sara Sushi Commercial Will Satisfy Your Hilarity Hunger

— May 31, 2011 — Pop Culture
This Gin No Sara sushi commercial proves marketing comes in all shapes and sizes. After all, you literally can’t tell what this hilarious ad is trying to sell until the final three seconds of the video, but I bet after seeing it, you’re curious enough to want to give these sushi-selling funnymen a chance.

The Gin No Sara sushi commercial starts off with a Japanese couple encountering a stray dog. The male lead reveals he’s afraid of dogs, and so the female character starts throwing objects at the dog in an attempt to scare it away. She eventually removes boob inserts to hurl at the dog, but to no avail. As her trump card, she washes the make up off her face to reveal…well, you should see it for yourself. Audiences are then reminded that quality ingredients are important as the commercial fades into the Gin No Sara logo.
