I especially loved his blushing face near the end. Laughing

I can't get either one to play, I just get a red x in the video box. Anime cry

[edit]Oops, got it working. That was just awesome. Was that really him speaking Japanese or a voice over? Didn't really sound like him and mouth never moved.

Thanks for the link!

No, that was a voiceover... as a Native Texan from San Antonio & knowing Tommy Lee is also a native Texan... (he probably lives in LaLa Land most of the time now), he's picking up the yen. His hang-dog look reminds me of a line from an action/comedy movie called "Man of the House".
He's a Texas Ranger playing housefather to UT (University of Texas) cheerleaders that witnessed a murder. During a game, the woman in charge of the cheerleaders says, "Put on your Happy Face." TLD grins like Two-Face & says "This IS my Happy Face!" Laughing

Step out of the maid cafe, Sir.

I'm just wondering what's going through his head when he was in that cafe. Would he know anything about anime and the otaku over there?

haha, tommy lee can be so funny sometimes, i loved how he looked confused, and like he didn't know what was going on
the neko-girl looked ok, but the girl at the maid cafe...i just thought they'd be cuter, oh well, that's another dream dashed

Wow, funny stuff. Talk about culture shock, the look on Jones face in those ads is priceless. The cg "bush" was a little much, though.

Okay, that was epically hysterical! The blushing bit was just perfect. The neko girl was adorable. Not quite sure what the food was at the cafe, but it looked kind of tasty. I would very much love to know what was going through Mr. Jones's mind while doing this commercial.

Hm, we share the same birthday, so according to astrology, his personality is at least vaguely like mine.

Good lord, I hope he wasn't thinking what I would have been thinking! Perverted! Wink

One thing is clear. Japan is definitely NOT no country for old men!
