Alien Tommy Lee Jones Japanese Commercials

In this collection of Japanese commercials, Tommy Lee Jones is an alien who disguises himself as a human in order to experience the day to day life of an Earthling and promote Boss coffee.
Comedy ensues.

Hahahaha Men in Black 1.5 for sure!

[@user-wi7xv7lo2l]

In Japan, appearing in commercials is proof of an actor's popularity and status. Tommy Lee Jones is very loved in Japan.

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

These commercials are more interesting and have more character development than many movies I've watched recently.

[@he-mememan359]

I would agree but I have refused to watch a new movie since Moana, excluding The Joker.

[@raphaelsouza8234]

U need to watch better movies

[@gemini4451]

I love the overarching story thats in it for absolutely no reason

I've never heard anyone speak Japanese with a Southern accent before.

[@Katracho-ot3uk]

Especially a heavy Texan accent

[@lenieldelatorre480]

wait til they see American Pro-Wrestlers there

[@popojelly1895]

Are the narrations really his?

[@shachihoko4877]

@@popojelly1895 The narrator is Taniguchi Takashi, a Japanese voice actor who died in 2012. If it was Tommy Lee Jones that would be crazy lol But judging from the other parts where he speaks Japanese by himself, his Japanese is actually pretty good. It still has some accent but sounds very natural.

[@willcoffarchives]

There is no southern accent?

[@Hollyclown]

The character development in this is fantastic.

[@CrniWuk]

They should make a movie based on this.

[@DrNapalmXxx]

Planning on it! What should be the title?

[@sandakureva]

I'd watch it. Tommy Lee Jones is my favorite grumpy old man.

[@hollyboop5631]

That characteristic confused expression when everyone around you speaks a language you don’t understand.

[@MrChugwater]

That look of "I don't know what the I'm doing and I don't know what's going on, but I'm just gonna roll with it and see what happens..." Yep! been there done that.

[@CaskStrength777]

When I first went to Japan in 2005 I didn't understand at all why Tommy Lee Jones was pitching canned coffee everywhere it took many years to figure out what was going on it was just one of those really meta things in the culture. I have yet to see exactly how many variations there are on Boss Coffee but Rainbow Mountain is definitely the most popular last I was there that was the one that was everywhere. It's good too, honestly. I think it was the popularity of the stuff in Japan that actually finally brought iced coffee as a thing to America around the same time, at least to where iced coffee is a normal thing here now because it didn't used to be

[@moonbeamchaos]

You mean, like not in the places (like New Orleans) where we’ve always enjoyed iced coffee! But not canned stuff.

This, together with the Tommy Lee Jones High School Professor feels like the beggining of Man of Steel. A man, from outer space, trying to find his place in the world. This is because I want this to be made into a full length movie or comic

[@Komnen0s]

I like how even though Tommy Lee Jones is generally a well-liked celebrity, there are two distinct perceptions of him depending on which corner of the earth you're in. In America he's a respected dramatic actor while in Japan he has a cult following as the stoic, stone-faced spokesperson for Boss Coffee (the titular boss, perhaps). It reminds me of how even though the various Christian and Muslim sects have many divergent beliefs on the matter of worship, they all answer to the same Abrahamic God (albeit with distinct flavors). The cultural differences that emerge when two groups like the same person are interesting to observe.
