Japan has some amazing commercials<\/a> that have even inspired a Simpsons episode<\/a> (back when Simpsons was still good).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best is a series of commercials I have seen is for Sakeru Gummy candy<\/a>. The episodes is often just known as Long Long Man<\/a> about a young couple and their running into a mysterious man who likes a longer version of the candy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is honestly some of the best commercial making around – and I hate to say – has better acting and story than probably 75% of the constant re-hashed old franchises, superhero stories, and movies\/TV we see today. For a series that last a total of only 6 minutes over 11 thirty second clips – it delivers an amazingly engaging story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
