TV commercial of the week: Pizza-La

22 Comments

Here's the ad for Pizza-La's new "Cream gratin pizza with crab and shrimp."

"Talent" Mari Sekine (center in picture above) is the main character of the commercial. Sekine is a daughter of the famous "talent" (also comedian), Tsutomu Sekine, who is a fluent English speaker, and appears on various TV programs such as "1 okunin no daishitsumon!? Waratte koraete!" (Questions from 100 million people?! Laugh and stifle laughter!) and "ZIP!"

Responses for the commercial are "This is the best commercial ever," "It's so funny! How is it for you?" and so on.

¥3600 for a large, what a scam!

I saw this commercial for the first time the other day (haven't turned on my TV in nearly half a year), and it is not AT ALL funny or interesting. They pull the same kind of ad all the time, be it crab or 'ebi-mayo'. To be frank, Japanese commercials in general are really sucking of late.

This CM is not as good as the Puccho CM with AKB48 that comes after it.

“This is the best commercial ever,” “It’s so funny! How is it for you?” and so on.

I couldn't stop laughing. When famous talent dance like a crab with a funny song I wet myself again and again. This commercial gives more and more meaning to my life.

"seafood pizza, could be good."

How much do you want to bet there's corn on it?

0 ( +2 / -2 )

smitty is right, there IS corn on it! But that doesn't mean it's not good!

Anyway, you can always say "corn nuki" if you really hate corn that much!

I may be speaking for myself but its not that I hate corn, but there are some things that really don't belong on a pizza like mayonnaise, egg plant, tuna, nori (dried sea weed), and diced potatoes just to name a few.

Try ordering a plain corn topping Pizza from them. They will gladly do it.

Why is a commercial for Pizza-La that has been around for a year the 'commercial of the week'?
