So, I watched
this set of commercials (which I basically understood raw, but was pleased to see subs for!) and then I totally had to cap them because oh. my. lord. First off, Aiba and Jun living together in the Hitachi cm! And then a series of Hot Pepper Beauty ads with Jun commenting on a girl getting her hairstyle changed and half of them were pretty cute and romantic. The other half were MEAN AS HELL.
I was pretty much crying by the end of it.
And, yes. Yes, I did have to screencap all of these. There's a bunch of caps, but they're all thumbnailed, so it shouldn't be too bad for loading!
I love everything about this commercial. Everything!
I love that Ohno sends them what I like to think is clearly a HOUSEWARMING GIFT and, naturally, it's a fish.
But not a regular fish!
No, it's a TALKING FISH.
That Jun is like HOLY SHIT DID THAT FISH JUST TALK I'M PRETTY SURE THAT FISH IS TALKING JESUS FUCK THAT FISH IS TALKING while Aiba's like WHOA IT'S SO FRESH. Of course he does. Jun proceeds to make the greatest freakout faces while Aiba just goes to put the fish inside the vacuum sealed container to keep it fresh.
I just.
I love the whole world right now.
Then, after Jun calms down and they finish building their thing, it's time for dinner.
BUT NOW THE FISH ON THE WALL IS TALKING (which I also like to think was totally a housewarming gift from Ohno--or else Nino after Jun bitched one too many times about how many fish-themed gifts Leader was giving them and Nino was like HERE HAVE A WALL FISH TOO :D while Jun tries to light him on fire with the power of his mind) and CORRECTING THEM ON WHAT KIND OF FISH IT IS.
Naturally, Aiba is just sort of, oh, the fish on the wall is talking, this dinner is good. While Jun is like HOLY SHIT THE FISH ON THE WALL IS TALKING NOW TOO.
I just.
I want so much fanfic of this that you don't even know.
AND THEN HOT PEPPER BEAUTY CMS. Oh, I was afraid bitchy Jun might be gone forever, but I was happy for him because he seems so much happier and at peace with his dorky self, BUT THEN. MEAN JUN MAKES AN AMAZING RETURN.
I can't even tell you how hard I laughed. The first commercial was cute, it was all oh~ you make me nervous with how cute you look~ and such. Then this one came along.
Where Jun repeats the same line every time, "Oh? Did you change your hairstyle?"
The second one is where he takes a long, long moment to stare, looking at it from different angles, and I'm not quite expecting anything just yet. I knew he was a bit mean in at least one of them, but I expected only one or maybe two, towards the end. At this moment, even after the SERIOUSLY LONG PAUSE, I'm expecting him to say something mild and benign like, oh, it looks good!
BUT NOPE.
"That's regrettable."
asd;lfkjasl;kjl;kjsl;ka
And then the "Sorry, sorry." at the end where THAT FUCKER IS NOT SORRY AT ALL.
I laughed harder than I should have.
After that was another nice, cute, romantic one.
THEN THIS ONE.
WHERE HE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING.
JUST STARES FOR A LONG MOMENT.
THEN STARTS LAUGHING.
HE JUST STARTS LAUGHING.
AND KEEPS LAUGHING EVEN WHILE HE'S APOLOGIZING FOR LAUGHING.
Oh my god Hot Pepper Beauty is the best.
They alternate with another one one, but by now I KNOW WHAT IS COMING.
So, when Jun repeats the, "Oh? Did you change your hairstyle?" line and takes a long, long moment to stare and tilt his head and really consider it, I sit up and wait for it.
"You like to challenge things, don't you?"
I bawled. I just. Imagined some amazing shoujo heroine being like YES I WILL CHALLENGE THIS HAIRSTYLE, I WILL NOT LET IT BEAT ME! and it not quite coming out like she imagined.
"I like it, though."
MOST AMAZING BACKHANDED COMPLIMENT EVER. ILU, MATSUMOTO.
THIS ONE IS AMAZING, TOO.
"Oh? Did you change your hairstyle? I like it, but I'm not sure if other people do."
BAWLING.
Especially when he looks off to the left like he's trying to be all innocent and sweet about it.
And then laughs like, don't be mad~.
I love this because it's obviously meant to be mean and hilarious and they know exactly how it's coming off and I love bitchy Matsumoto so much especially when he's clearly having a great time with this.
This one kind of snuck up on me. It seemed like it was going to be one of the cute, adorable, nice ones.
"You're quite a beauty." seems to be a pretty straightforward compliment.
Then, "Now what's left is your inner quality."
asd;lfkjas;lkjal;ksjl;kjas
DYING. DYYYYYYYING.
YOU'RE VERY PRETTY. NOW LET'S WORK ON YOUR PERSONALITY.
And then the final one!
He asks, "Oh? Did you change your hairstyle?" like always, then pauses for a reeeeally long time.
Looks down to the side, obviously trying to figure out what to say.
Then, "You should wear a hat to cover it."
AND THEN LAUGHS, SAYING, "SORRY, THAT WAS MEAN."
SO AWFUL. SO AWFUL.
But it's so funny that I laughed the entire time.
I DON'T CARE IF THAT MAKES ME A TERRIBLE PERSON.
