Eat Chinese Boss Noodles Like A Boss
It has been said by many of our readers that China is attempting to overthrow Japan as the world's premiere WTF superpower, and we have just now found more evidence to support that theory. In the very competitive instant noodles market, apparently there is a brand new Cup Noodles challenger from China known as Boss Noodles! And here is a very wacky new demonstration video on how to eat Chinese Boss Noodles like a boss:
After watching the above clip more than a few times now it sounds as though the Chinese narrator is yelling "FFUUUU BITCHES" at the end! Also right when he yells that, the two Asian females grab onto the white guy and start dancing while the "Fast Business" text appears so whaddya think???

"Rocketeer": Award Winning Hong Kong TVC
"Rocketeer" is a very creative, funny and award-winning Hong Kong television commercial for NutriGreen's LDF Cordyceps Health Supplement:
According to the main actor in this commercial, Jayson Li:
"The campaign I worked on for NutriGreen's LDF Cordyceps Health Supplement (《綠養坊》LDF純冬蟲夏草) was launched not too long ago. The "Rocketeer" campaign consists of a television commercial, directed by Chan Man Chung, and a print ad with the production house being Film Factory and the advertising agency being Leo Burnett Hong Kong. The TVC was recently featured in the Chinese language newspaper Ming Pao (明報), Attuworld Nederland and on Virgin Radio Toronto. The TVC was also recently screened at the Cannes Lions 58th International Festival of Creativity which was held at the Palais de Festivals in Cannes, France."
Note: This commercial was also selected as a winner in the 2011 Spikes Asia - Asia's Creative Advertising Festival and Awards.
Brief Explanation:
"Most people in Hong Kong live a crazily hectic life - long working hours, overtime on weekends, and a packed social life. Most of them feel drained before they even get up in the morning. To dramatize this phenomenon, this commercial shows how a businessman loses his energy before he even gets to work. The answer of course, is Nutrigreen LDF Cordyceps, a health supplement that helps people maintain their energy level throughout the day".

Tommy Lee Jones Acts Like a Boss for Suntory
Remember Bill Murray's struggling Suntory whiskey endorsement in Lost In Translation? Well that same maker has been producing a humorous TV commercial series for Boss Coffee starring Hollywood heavyweight Tommy Lee Jones.
Apparently, the original story line for this long-running ad campaign is that Tommy Lee and other Hollywood celebrities, are real supernatural, outer space aliens who lived and worked in Japan. Then after working various jobs, one day they all have to leave and return to their home planet. Sound familiar? Well for this series, one special extraterrestrial (TLJ) just has to come back to earth and Japan for some more Suntory Boss Coffee. And in this hilarious episode Tommy Lee really acts like a boss as a very strict high school teacher:
Note: The above clip is episode #34. For even more laughs be sure to see episodes 1-23 here.

Funny Japanese TV Commercials for Softbank
Here are some funny Japanese TV commercials for Softbank. They're all in Japanese only with no English subtitles, but basically the dog is the "father" who, of course, is one of the most important members of any family. And, with Japan's current "dog boom" still showing no end in sight, the comic premise of these commercials includes a satirical stab at many Japanese dog owners who, believe it or not, consider canines as 'humans' and that dogs are more important than children:
