that I've yet seen. It's apparently an ad for Kikkoman soy sauce... but it's the most bizarre ad I've ever seen. A caped superhero type guy with a whole fish for a head rides on a motorcycle, pours soy sauce on people, apparently drives a cute little kitten to suicide, then goes to bed with the condiment-based superhero world's answer to Sailor Moon. Deeply weird.

This is hilarious and weird, even though it has already been discussed at metafilter.

Old, but a classic. I think I still know the words to the Kikkoman song, and to Yatta.

Is the Show Me / Show You thing a pun on shoyu?

Is the Show Me / Show You thing a pun on shoyu? Yeah, it's a play on words.

I love this. It reminds me of the Simpsons episode "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo."

There's a version of the catchy little song, by an Amsterdam band called Ghorar Deem Express, downloadable here.

Kikkoman, I've already called the SPCA and PETA. You can't go coercing kitties to hang themselves and get away with it. And what's up with the fishhead?

All good, cortex. But I have to give credit to turaho, as he's the one who posted it.
