Alien Jones…Just watch the commercial!

From ANN –

Tommy Lee Jones Discovers Akihabara, Maid Cafes, Moe 

American actor Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, Men in Black, No Country for Old Men) discovers cosplayers, moe, and maid cafes in Tokyo’s otaku shopping district of Akihabara. (The Suntory site’s videos require Microsoft Windows Media Player.) The commercial is the latest in a series designed to promote Suntory’s Boss brand of canned coffee. Since April of 2006, Jones has been playing “Alien Jones,” an extraterrestrial character who has taken on the human form to conduct an undercover survey of Earth.

The link for the Ad is here.

Ray’s take: hahahahahahaahahha! He’s freaking stoic and the girl is like so animated. Just watch the ad and laugh. Boy, we need more hapless American actors star in these Japanese commercials. I’m sure he was like: “um, OK…You’re just weird…”

Here comes the men in black in Akiba.

“I didn’t kill my Japanese maid!”

“I don’t care!”

An one-armed man in Akiba sounds like a villain from an anime.

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

  5. It’s precisely he wasn’t very expressive in this clip that it was funny as hell. His face looked like a pure expression of “What the hell?” in stoic terms.

  6. Anyone remember Bill Murray’s character in Lost in Translation when he has to do an ad for some brand of whiskey or another? Those priceless looks of bemusement from Tommy Lee Jones reminded me a lot of that. Great stuff.
