An assortment of surreal and wonderful Japanese ads for a surreal wonderful Japanese snack called Pocky. Dan Ray says, "In this blog post, I've rounded them several favorites, along with some translations, descriptions, and related material."
Update: Boing Boing reader aragoto sez:
A note on your post about sex selling Pocky — a thick layer of irony is being missed here. The stars of the commercial are a female comedy duo called Othello who are clearly hamming it up like crazy, in Japanese that's phrased to sound like mock-sexy French, if you can get your lobes around that.
