Check out the best commercial ever... you can't drink just six Slushos!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Contrary to what other sites claim, there is no exclusive on this below video. This was uploaded to the Japan Slusho server and has fanned out from there. It is totally awesome, though, so I can see the appeal in claiming it's yours to show the world.
You guys know SLUSHO by now, JJ Abrams' trademarked fake drink. It's been tied into CLOVERFIELD's viral campaign and now they released a trailer I'd give my left nut (not really, but it's fun to say) to see on prime time TV. But then again, I love crazy whacked out Japanese commercials. The Simpsons parodied it well, but there's nothing like seeing real deal Japanese bizarreness and this strikes me as being the best attempt to capture that.
Here's the Slusho Japanese commercial!!!

It's something all right.

slusho zoom.
-
Glow monster?
-
Where can I get? Tell me!
-
WWAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
-
HOORAY FOR SLUSHO!!!!!!!! ME LIKEY!!!!!
-
even for a surreal Japanese commercial. The old Kikkoman soy sauce commercial beats the shit out of that for plain old strangeness. google it.
-
Thanks, jackass. Why don't you ever host some of this crap? Or upload it to YouTube before you give out the link and AICN takes down the server.
-
Dead link?
-
Does anyone know why Elle was drinking a slusho? What does JJ have to do with Heroes, and isn't he under contract by ABC, not NBC??? Please help!!!
-
jeesh..
-
is a Man's drink.
-
I too was bitten by the SERVICE UNAVAILABLE monster but I tried again and again and eventually the link worked. Keep on clicking that link!!! It works.....eventually.
-
Came out of the ass of something called a Slurm monster. Wouldn't this be a copyright infringment?

Is SLUSHO the drink that causes lions to grow super big?
by wackybantha
We shall see 01-18-08!!!
-
Aw, who cares, just drink your damn SLUSHO!!! Besides, all we really care about is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! SHIA FOR PREZ!!!
-
Couldn't even sit waiting for it to download. Watched up until the moose. *sarcasm* "THAT WAS SO BIZARRE!"
-
You must fight the bear

This should also amuse you:

I love it. -
Jesus, Pilgrims don't know much about anything - well, except how to flee from religious persecution...
-
I want that 30 seconds of my life back... That was fucking stupid!
-
When will you discover subtlety?
You're like the weird mis-understood asian nation... but we still love you..
I WISH I could drink just six though.. -
can they get out of this lazy cultural stereotype? Seems played out.
-
It's been done before, and better.
-
dont wanna sound like a hater, im excited for cloverfield and all, but i agree with dingbatty. you even said it yourself quint, simpsons did it. (and yes, south park did that)

Truly the best REAL Japanese commercial. http://youtube.com/watch?v=983_qqatdTQ
FYI: Pachinko, the only legal gambling industry in Japan, makes up a quarter of the revenue for the entire Japanese entertainment industry. -
Man that didnt make a lick of sense. Im sitting here thinking what the fuck???
-
And If I were an american citizen i would totally enter that slusho add competition. Can't wait to see what people come up with.
-
Abrams already made a whole TV show out of lifting ideas from Whedon, so this only makes sense, I guess.
-
Anyone else notice that the guy's name is Rob Hawkins that shot and killed 9 people including himself at the Omaha Nebraska mall. The main character of Cloverfield is Rob Hawkins. Coincidence??? I THINK NOT, MY FRIENDS. http://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Westroads_Mall_shooting
-
Was the Omaha Mall shooting part of JJ Abrams viral advertising scheme for Cloverfield? I'll let you decide.
-
This is probably just the beginning of a whole mess of psuedo-psychedelic crap to start infecting the cortex.
-
Now we all know why Harry is so big. He's been drinking shitloads of these things. Stop it Harry. It's bad for your teeth.
-
If any of my film students came up with an ad like that, I'd immediately fail them, kick them out of university, and make sure they never go near a camera again. That was fucking awful, not even the Japan's version of Mr Bean could save it. The stereotypes of whacky, tripped out Japan are getting a more than a little stale too. JJ, cut this shit out and stick to the fucking film -- if it's good enough next January, people will watch it. Making awful Japanese stereotype commercials isn't going to make Cloverfield any better.
-
Fucking AICN and it's fucked up html:

Update your website, you tight-arsed cheapskate, Harry. And pay your writers. -
I like them. It's funny
-
Paul Verhoeven's original Robocop.
-
...sort of. If you look at the very end of the commercial, right after the last Slusho banner and while a monkey holding a flag goes by, you'll see what looks likes a bunch of brown scales. Could this be the skin of the monster? And could those be the smaller monsters as well? Remember back to the trailer. The VERY quicj flash of the monster seemed to be brown skined. I'll let you guys decide. And if you see it, could someone post the time code of this as well?
-
The director of "Cautionary Tales" was Greg Yataines who directed two episodes of ALIAS and is good friends with JJ. That's why Slusho can be seen in this episode and, because Kring liked the idea, he included in the following episode as well.In addition to this, Matt Parkman has a role in CLOVERFIELD.Hope that answers your question!
-
YOU've been done before, and better.
Ha! -
The Incredible Shrinking Woman - "Galaxy Glue! Galaxy Glue! What would we do without Galaxy Glue!"
-
A bit obvious.
But I dunno if anyone else has noticed the clue to the monster in that video. Very evident if you watch slow. :D
-
See it! Damn thing crashes out my internet!!!
-
The man looked bored. People don't look bored in real Japanese commercials, they look like they're going to shit themselves with excitement.
-
movie and now, people are complaining, there is not enough. Jesus christ! if people dont want to go the cinema anymore.

I saw it! It's a monkey! And it's... well, it's quite small, act
by jackpumpkinhead
Horrifyingly enough, it wasn't awesome.
-
I too thought it was leathery when watched in normal speed, but it's not. It's rocky. Speaking of which, where's more of "John Rambo"?
-
are proof positive the LSD children of the sixties didn't die. They just moved overseas to become copywriters.
-
Slusho is made from monster eggs and now the monster has come looking for some payback, ala Futurama's The Problem with Popplers.
-
It's highly addictive!
-
thanks aicn!

Episode of Invader Zim had a much funnier and stranger use of a moose. How Jhonen Vasquez got a deal with Nickelodeon I'll never know. -
Because nothing slows down your Voltron faster than lion-on-lion friction.
-
It didn't last long though... Nickelodeon soon put a stop to JV and the... the... things he do.
-
That was actually more "normal" than I thought it would be.
-
What was not mentioned here, and what you won't see unless you go to the actual slusho website, is that there is also a contest involved. Send them your own version of a Slusho commercial and the top 5 winners get Slusho Alienware systems valued at $3,000

Yeah, I think it was after Nickelodeon realized..

What JV generally does in his work that they probably pulled the plug. It's all on dvd now though at least. Man that show was awesome. -

The man who walked into the Mall in Ohama and shot 9 people dead
by emeraldboy
ROBERT HAWKINS. The note he left behind said now I will be famous. The name of the hero in Cloverfield is Robert Hawkins. you couldnt make it up. I think paramount are going to pull this film. Theres fact and fiction. One guy killed himself in real life and the other gets killed but we odnt know.
-
the beast recreates itself by putting its hundreds of fish-eggs inside your stomach. reference the clip where 'woman behind sheet' goes BLORRRRGHL and gets fat. shes getting her eggs and essentially will serve as a cocoon. The imagery of a slushy soft drink where you can't drink just six (meaning, bloat yourself beyond belief on this stuff!) ties it all together. As for the giant wall of sculpted chocolate with a monkey waving a cheese flag? no idea.
Id like to know whats in the picture frame that the mermaid is trying to hang up with a hammer, tho. -
can someone reverse the audio and put it online? Something about the way they say "flay-varh' smacks of reversed audio.
-
Thanks!
-
it's an addictively catchy little tune,isn't it? Oh yeah,& the visuals were AWESOME.
-
Picture,if you will,a scene out of Sesame Street. The count is in his lab. Something lies on a table under a sheet. Electric currents flow through the "thing". It groans & arises. It is the word "awesome". Then,in a scene eerily reminiscent of Frankenstein,the count laughs his boisterous laugh & exclaims:"It's alive,alive-& it's huge!!!!!!!!".

Do you think that they'll make real Slusho edible product to hyp
by knght_n_shng_armr
I personally think it can go one of three ways: A) They won't,as the movie is a stand alone monster movie & not a blockbuster franchise horror series,therefore not worth the financial risk for something w/ a short-term shelf life; B) they will cut a deal w/ a company like ICEE to produce their product with temporary Slusho pattenting to save money & deliver decent product; or C) They will invest in a temporary product they produced themselves cheaply that tastes soooo bad,you won't even want to taste it out of curiousity. Your thoughts,people?
-
It sounds like it'd be pretty damn tasty, and even if it sucks, hopefully they'd put them in the washable style cups so you can save them afterwards, not unlike the collectable cups they used to promote Revenge Of The Sith at 711. I've still got a bunch of those in the cupboard. -

I know it's cliche to say, but Fruity Oaty Bar was better...
by torpor_haze
who know maybe all these Japanese commercials were Goddard's idea from the start.

I like the titties on the bitch in green in the top left corner.

Or...If You Give A Moose A Slusho
