I don't think that I've seen these commercials posted here before.

That first one for the chips is cute. The Japanese seem to really have an obsession with using that eye drop product for everything. XD

And you got the DB Powerdesk commercial! Actually seeing the ad for it makes me want it. :shock: Oh and I want the RR Tower too. XD Nice find!

Dang! I really want that Muscle Tower Playset. Not to mention I have got to get me some Dragonball eye-drops.

Good to finally see the Dragonball eyedrop commercials after seeing the ones for Z and GT! Thanks for the link!

Wow. I still have many similar commcercials on some older dub VHS tapes, on which I have episodes from the Buu arc (fansubbed, of course). So they're a bit newer. But that eye drop commercial looks exactly like the same product in one of the commercials I have on VHS. Cool! And funny. lol

These are awesome. Toei really should release a DVD full with DB Z GT commercials!

The chips one was weird. The eye drop ones were interesting to say the least. The desk one was cool while the Muscle Tower Playset commercial was awesome. I want one! The moving ball thing was weird and 'Master Roshi' at the end was just creepy.

I find it kind of fuuny that in a country that doesn't have a reputation for smoking a lot of marijuana, that there is such a obsession with eyedrops. It's not like they are only for the pool or anything...some people use them to prevent red eye from their habit. :lol:

I just wonder if those're older than I am. And the live action Roshi? I'm torn between being amused and frightened.

Knowing that I disapproved of and was typically a bitch about his occasional drug use, my ex-roommate would often do this very thing. Unfortunately, he never particularly remembered what to do about the marijuana smell and thereby consistently negated the trouble he would go through applying eyedrops in the driveway just before he'd walk in the door.

At any rate, I think we're all pretty much aware of and mystified by the apparent miracle of DragonBall eyedrops commercials. No one understands it, but at the same time . . . well . . . no. No one understands it. That's all.

Waha, reminds me of a recent phone conversation with SG2. "The eyedrops! What is with the EYEDROPS! I can't . . . I mean, I don't understand about why they're always doing the EYEDROPS!!"
