Sakura-Con 2009 Commercial 

We all came here for Girugamesh.

I can't tell whats more hilarious, the fact they progressively get louder or just the entire Girugamesh dude and after.

I thought this was a joke at first.

As awesome as the 'Girugamesh' line is, 'and gaming' get me every time...

He has dishonored his family.

This is still the best worst thing ever

I want to cry.

This is the reason Anime is not socially accepted.

[GIRUGAMESHING INTENSIFIES]

The Japanese guy is just trying to get them out of his restraunt.

They should definitely have a reunion for another Sakura-con commercial. 'GIRUGAMESH GUY' MUST RETURN!!!

AND MANGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

THIS NEVER STOPS BEING SIMULTANEOUSLY PAINFUL AND HILARIOUS

giRUGAMESH

AND GAMING!

Wow... this commercial makes me cringe till this day.

This is literally representative of about half of the population of my school.

The Worst, Most Despair-inducing Incident in the History of Mankind

The "AND MANGA!" Girl is the most underrated part of this commercial. It's too bad she gets overshadowed by GIRUGAMESH!

second hand embarrassment for this existing

How does this possibly have a 2-star rating? Why, this is the most epic commercial on the planet!

I feel bad for actual Japanese people who accidentally discover this.

I felt a wave of nostalgia crash over me

2009 was a Spaghetti-laden year, indeed.

this is never not funny

God this is so addicting. I could watch it on loop forever.

it's supposed to be like this right right

What an amazing display of power levels.

3 years later and it's still hilarious.

2009 never forget.

I was glad to be a part of this commercial. (Is the Honey-sempai) It was quite fun yet I sadly didn't get to go to Sakuracon. Hopefully next year I can go. -Edo

The japanese guy has a weird accent.

This is what keeps me from going to Sakura-Con forever

ahh it took me a second to realize, the woman in the orange is Tiffany Grant isn't it

As much as I like anime, manga, ect. this is just painful to watch.

JAY RAWK

i don't know what you guys are talking about this is golden

This will never go away from the depth of my mind.

AND GAMING god he's still my favorite fml hahahhaa

It's a good thing they covered everything that is Japanese. I would hate it if they missed GIRUGAMESH and SUSHI.

Oh god I remember when this first came out. It hasn't lost its luster.

I've never wanted to have anything to do with japanese culture less in my life.

this commercial is still hilarious more than a year after it being created

This is why you don't get Vic Mignogna direct commercials.

I like how the commercial has become more popular than the convention itself Never change, internet Never change

@laris707 it is. Vic directed this commercial for Sakura-con

One of the female actresses in this is Asuka from NGE's voice actor. Mind=blown.

This scares me. Things like this make me ashamed to admit I like anime.

the start feels like an all that skit

ive watched this like 50 times and every time it gets better

j-rock dude

When I think about Japan's deep and nuanced cultural achievements, the first thing I think of is GIRUGAMESH!

This is so bad it's actually hilarious. I'm honestly tearing up it's so funny.

And this is how the legend was born.

I actually kind of love this.

this is my favorite youtube video ever whoever made this is a marketing genius

I love sushi, i love japan period, Tea ceremonies, J-Rock!, Girugamesh! I love anime, and manga , and Gaming. I like DDR, Smile DK.

>>I love Sushi Oh, man, me too... >>I love Japan Alright... that's pretty cool I guess.. >>Tea Ceremonies Eh, that's not my- >>J-RAWK \w/ Wait what-? >> GIRUGAMESH I'm so confused ;-;

Christ, it's been 4 years and I still cringed so hard I almost imploded.

I think Girugamesh is a pretty cool guy. Eh says "GIRUGAMESH!!" and doesn't afraid of anything!

I love how they only say one thing that is not Japanese pop culture.

the idea for this commercial must have sounded so good on paper...

good GOD THAT WAS AWFUL

GIRUGAMESH!!!!!!!

I've watched this many times...I just realized that Voice Actress Tiffany Grant is in this!!!

THE ORIGINAL CRINGE

i love this so much : D wonderful piece of art

That's comforting. :) I believe those who are already anime fans would be going regardless of the commercial's perceived lack of quality.

Years later and this video still makes my skin crawl....

My soul...it hurts...

I'm definately going to check that out for all the détails

It's interesting to see what lines were cut. "Final Fantasy!" "Try it, you'll like it!"

this is awesome! tiffany grant!

HA, if I wanted to go to Sakura-Con that year and my parents saw this commercial, I wouldn't have been allowed to go. XD

I can't help it, I burst out laughing everytime the I LOVE ANIME guy starts talking.

How could anyone hate this commercial?

The last..six seconds or so were pretty good. The sushi rolls with the logo were a really cute idea!

I remember that commercial!!! I saw that and was SO happy!! I wanna go SO BAD....

It's like I'm really watching the Big Bang Theory

I love this commercial. Period!

As stereotypical is this commercial is, I salute you guys for making something that spawned an internet meme. *salutes*

GAMING

I love how accurate this is.

I didn't even know this meme, and instantly lost it when that guy sprang out and yelled GIRUGAMESH!!!

No, he said ”いきます", which I'm pretty sure means to go.

Sakura Kong Ikimaaaaaas ...Guess what server I'll join when FFXIV comes out? GIRUGAMESH

IM SCREAMING

Jesus i thought that was a parody at first.

that was the most embarrassing thing i've ever witnessed

Every time I watch this, it makes me cry.

I still think the funniest part about this is that smile.dk is Swedish.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THE SPEAKER GUY AT THE END SOUNDS LIKE VIC MIGNOGNA!?(the voice actor who voices the english dub of Edward Elric and the guy who voices the english dub of Tamaki for Ouran)

I like the part when the guy says "GIRUGAMESH!" XD

This commercial belongs in the "so bad it's good" territory.

I love anime!!!! and... manga! GAMING!!!

I saw a Sakura-Con commercial once. The punchline never came.

I like it :D damn funny :D

its because the girugamesh guy is a meme. Create new memes, the masses will know about your convention.

I don't know whether to like or dislike this...

Everytime I see this, it makes me crai tears of blood ! :'( GIRUGAMESH !!
