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.
@@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.
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
I've been looking these for years and never thought it was a series of commercials.I saw the two commercials in a bootlegged VHS copy of Dragonball Z.Japanese dubbed, no subtitles. Tommy Lee Jones still appears in Boss commercials to this date.
Apparently he is huggeeee in Japan. Ever since his role in MIB. They adore him and Apparently he's very fond of them too. Hence why he did so many commercials for this coffee company.
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.
Imagine someone telling Tommy Lee Jones at 20 years old that in his later life he would not only be an amazing actor but also end up doing commercials for a canned coffee brand in Japan. lmao.
Well, Tommy love Japan. He even said in an interview that Japan is like his 2nd home. He took so many trips to Japan every year. Only the pandemic stopped him to go to Japan.

So this is what K's been doing since his "retirement" before working at the Post Office.
Hahahaha Men in Black 1.5 for sure!
In Japan, appearing in commercials is proof of an actor's popularity and status. Tommy Lee Jones is very loved in Japan.
Yor Forger like Football and my country Argentina
They should make a movie based on this.
CrniWuk "Men in Black 4"
CrniWuk or even a Anime 😉
but make sure they all speak English, lol
I'd watch it. Tommy Lee Jones is my favorite grumpy old man.
Already did, it's called "Lost in Translation" with Bill Murray.
TLDW: Alien robot Tommy Lee Jones needs caffeine to maintain his hectic Japanese professional life.
These commercials are more interesting and have more character development than many movies I've watched recently.
I would agree but I have refused to watch a new movie since Moana, excluding The Joker.
U need to watch better movies
This is why Tommy Lee Jones is loved in Japan.
Why, because they portray all forgieners as stooges?
I love the overarching story thats in it for absolutely no reason
Oh don't act like you're bilingual. Bisexual maybe, bi-lick-u-all totally, but bilingual you are not.
Like most anime
@@pr9039 Twat.
The Madrummer are you using bisexual as an insult? Because there’s actually nothing wrong with being bisexual. You’re bisexual lololol
@@pr9039 ??????? weird ass reply
The character development in this is fantastic.
That characteristic confused expression when everyone around you speaks a language you don’t understand.
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.
@@MrChugwater ngl I did something too similar too with that and it was actually fun
I've never heard anyone speak Japanese with a Southern accent before.
Especially a heavy Texan accent
wait til they see American Pro-Wrestlers there
Are the narrations really his?

There is no southern accent?
途切れた時期もあったんだろうけど何やかんやで続いてるよねこのCM 最新作を見ると、まだやってたんだな〜と懐かしい気持ちになる不思議なコマーシャル👾
How ironic that he's playing an alien
That's in purpose you know xD
If you were a foreigner living in Japan before 2010 you would understand.
上島竜兵、阿藤快、福本清三、大杉漣...みんな逝ってしまった。時の流れるのは早いなあ。
時の流れが悲しい。
なにか残しただろうけど。
財津一郎さんも・・・(´；ω；`)
Best one starts at 4:58
Ping pong skit got me good.
@@KajiTetsushi tommy Lee got a MEEAAANNN ping pong game lol
Epic 😂😂😂
totally expressionless: 楽しい, it's fun
True kkkkkkkkk
As a Japanese i think if he shows up some Japanese tv programs almost of all Japanese will think ‘oh the guy of coffee commercial！！”
ジョーンズさんには感謝しかない！
長年出演してくれてありがとうございます。
貴重な日本語を毎回楽しみにしています。
演技も最高👍👍👍
八代亜紀のパートには泣ける・・・😭
3:33 - 3"54
All those dogs saw how he treated Frank in MIB.
Explains everything! XD
This needs to be a series. These are just perfect.
もうシリーズ化されてます時事ネタなど盛り込まれて毎回楽しみです😀
このシリーズずっと続いて欲しい
最近やってないよね…
He has to return to Earth cause he misses Boss Coffee hahahaha too good.
長い間続くCMだからこそ、その時代その時代を反映していて、まさに日本社会の記録そのものな感じで面白い。

You mean, like not in the places (like New Orleans) where we’ve always enjoyed iced coffee! But not canned stuff.
Tommy Lee Jonesに深く感謝。
That tunnel one is my favouritr
It’s so weird because he’s just standing there stone faced.
I’d be interested in seeing Tommy star in a samurai film
NGL, I'd like to see that too.
He doesn't have to speak either, just have to grunt in acklowlegement.
"Hmmmmgh..."
@@MrChugwater He could definitely play as a lost foreign trader who had to survive in Japan around sengoku period.
Lost foreign trader, grizzled old samurai who doesn’t give a f--, don’t matter he’d nail the role either way.
The last rainbow mountain samurai cowboy
liam nesson too
i love "why im here" facial expression.
How ironic that he's one of the guys who works in Men in Black to extract bad aliens.
I know right, Hikigaya?!
It's so hilarious
I love these. I try to watch every single one. I love Japanese commercials and Tommy Lee Jones so these are like the best thing ever
CMに出てた秋葉原は加藤事件前の自由なホコ天時期のものですね。石丸電機もあるｗ
デーブのところでちょっと笑いました。
love tommy lee jones! great he does all kinds of work!
6:22 is one of the best moment in the history of commercials
Then you got @4:19
😂
Thank you for posting these! I did not know there were so many. Once I started watching I couldn't stop....
Dang, that was one long assignment for MIB and the U.S. Marshals.
2:03 強引なドアの開け方に思わず大爆笑！
ここ超面白い！
I am going to punch my buddy and when he looks at me angry and confused I will say “ Boss, rainbow mountain” and he will instantly understand.
I never thought I would see tommy lee jones working at a host club lmao
Tommy lee Jones could be directing a class of preschoolers and still make It to behave so disciplined as oda's armies
I've been looking these for years and never thought it was a series of commercials.I saw the two commercials in a bootlegged VHS copy of Dragonball Z.Japanese dubbed, no subtitles. Tommy Lee Jones still appears in Boss commercials to this date.
Why am I watching this now, when I should be studying? Now I'm thirsty, thank you.
5:54 wtf tommy
言い得て妙って言葉が当てはまるコマーシャル。
These are really good commercials
阿藤快さん、大杉漣さん、福本清三さん、上島竜兵さん、いなくなってしまった人たち 懐かしい…

初っ端から徹夜のブラック労働社員で笑う
This is one of so many reasons why I Love Tommy Lee Jones 😊 Love from Philippines.
Watching this video makes me miss Japan :’)
Thanks Tommy and thanks Suntory
Tommy Lee Jones: appreciated world wide.
I love the sight of tommy Lee jones listening to romantic enka music in the snow drinking boss lol.
How many jobs does alien T.L.J. have?
not enough
None, he just goes there to try and get a can of boss.
All of them.
Yes
An absolute icon
I love how progressively better the ads get
Incredible Vibe
He did Good
LOL. It would be great if each commercials have english subtitles at the bottom.
2:19 He should have used this teleportation ability to deliver.
4:30 くらいからのデープとゆうこりん好き(笑)
阿藤快さん､福本先生､大杉漣さん｡
今やこれだけの方達がもう居ない｡
I lost it on the second parking violation scene. lmao
I bet he's saying it deep down inside how did I get in here
naruto94 cool letting the days go by...
@Waiting for ES6 lol
He was paid millions probably - hardly any regrets on his part
Apparently he is huggeeee in Japan. Ever since his role in MIB. They adore him and Apparently he's very fond of them too. Hence why he did so many commercials for this coffee company.
That lick is an orchestral version of "exodus" by the lively ones ... Trippy
Tommy Lee Jonesだいすき！
JAPAN HAD A POSTER OF TOMMY LEE JONES IN EACH EVERY STREET
Legendary.
we need a 4k remaster of this
ハーバード大首席卒業です👍️

Dude, this whole series is incredible
5:14 is easily my favorite part
I don’t know why I watched this but its worth it 😂
He’s only using 1% of his power
Is it just me or has Tommy looked 70 years old all his life? I remember watching MIB and going, how old is he now? In his 70s?

登場人物が凄すぎる、そして笑っちゃいます😂😝👏
5:54 MOEE... wasnt expecting that! LMAO
As the ads go on, the more Jones looks like he might be Japanese himself.
Never thought I needed this so much in my life.
ハリウッドスターを雑に扱ってるの笑う
そこが面白い！
For those unaware, there were no special effects or stunts in these commercials.
these are pure gold
Me: *complains of back pains*
Also me, whenever I try to lift anything off the ground: 0:42
