In general I love how this seems like a commercial where they left the outtakes in. Like they said “cut” and everyone breaks character, but they left that in too.
One mistake I made while translating this video is, especially since my channel is known for its explanations and analysis -- I failed to self-insert into the shoes of someone who doesn't understand Japanese. This video is 100% absurdism. You're not missing anything. I gave you all the information you need to be at the level to understand the humour. There's nothing more to it. I got long Discord messages asking me how the Katakana words with the bar vowel extension could possibly be confused with eachother -- there is no way they would ever be confused for eachother. That's the joke.
It makes me think of a futuristic setting where you have cute androids running a shop but constantly mistaking the voice inputs of the clientele, still adorable :p
The joke is based on this confusion. Meta-joke mixing the words spelled the same even sounding different, using the products of Mouse with the customer. Based on a antique word-game following the last particle or the last formed word with a new one. The second one is "inverted sarcasm", used a lot on manzai duos or even kabuki ones too. Called inverted because the "absurdism" of following a different path before lead the second one joke.
Oh yes, and after the inverted sarcasm comes the classic tsukkomi/boke humour, used a lot in manzai too. Classic form of japanese humour with some back and forth used on stages (repeat after me with Asuka to second guy and this guy with Maiyan).
Thanks - this made my day. Been a fan of these Nogizaka46/Mouse vids since they appeared on UA-cam. You're right, easy enough to figure out what's going on, but thanks very much for filling in the gaps with translation!
That's how I found them through the Mouse commercial videos on UA-cam. Especially Shiraishi Mai who graduated from the group at the end of 2020. She has a UA-cam channel as well since August last year. Shiraishi Mai was my favourite member of Nogizaka46 & I'm subbed to her UA-cam channel. :)
As you point out in the pinned comment, this video is absolute absurdity. But it builds on the popular format of 'manzai' where one person plays the 'tsukkomi' (straight man) and the other(s) play the 'boke' (fool). It plays off of the absolute absurdity of actions / statements of the 'boke' whereby the audience sides with the 'tsukkomi' who usually attempts (and ultimately fails to) reestablish some kind of normal interaction / situation. I'm going to show this to my Japanese 101 class lmfao
Hey, this is a random stranger from the internet, replying to your two year old comment, so don't mind me :) Do you teach Japanese or was this a class you attended? Where are you from, if I may ask

This is an overtly silly commercial banking on the cuteness of the two idol girls and the comedic silliness of the comedy duo. It is so crazy and cute it is hilarious. The idea is to make it unforgettable in order to solidify the mouse brand into your mind while also giving you an idea of the services they offer. It’s pretty genius in its simplicity and effect. It’s in the same vein of commercial psychology of the red bull gives you wings silliness but using celebrities and showcasing their specific talents to make it memorable.
I've been addicted to Mouse Diner for a couple of years. Thanks for translating - the delightful acting really got the message across even without the translation, but thanks! Having watched several comedies - TV series and movies - from Japan, I can confirm: Our Japanese friends are funny.
This guys a good actor. It's very difficult to do a schtick like this and come across as genuinely reacting to stuff you already kniwnis going to happen.
No recuerdo la ultima vez que rei de esta manera, dios mio vaya cuspide de la comedia, definitivamente los japoneses le saben, great work of translating this to bring it to us man, keep it up!♡♡
I live in Japan now and I used to see this company on UA-cam ads here with the same actresses. But they were like 5 seconds and gave no context at all so I had no idea what they were selling. Now I finally get it. Thank you!
He could've made this all a lot easier by asking for the coffee and toast while the other guy was there... or just saying "I'd like to order the same, please". :D
I see the jokes are just play on words or puns but with the "waitresses" being the boke while the White shirt man is the Tsukkomi. Really the funniest parts are when they break down from their ad lib so at the end the ad puts a smile on your face
Thank you for explaining this - Japanese comedy has so many nuances to it, its hard sometimes for westerners to pick them all up. You must be busy - when possible can you do the other Mouse Diner video with Sissonne and Nogizaka46? It seems like more laughs and more innuendo. Otsukare :)
Not really that hard...same for all cultures, once you understand the culture a bit you can understand the humour. People from outside the West struggle with YOUR humour, so don't act like Japanese humour is special or the hardest to understand
OMG... So, like... my gf is Japanese but we're both Dutch. I dunno how we fell into this but you guys owe me a new coffee table (naah!) and her a new drink (yusss) 😁 She did explain some to me, and I get the word joke idea, but the way you executed it.. omg... I'd have grabbed the PC at 2:08 and ran :P
I found an easy way to remember all the meanings of 'sakusaku', to munch/crunch on something crispy/flaky and leave no crumbs (as in do something skillfuly).
Honestly I learn a lot by this video, well I already watch it this long time ago but w/o sub and the meaning joke of skits, this kind video is rare when you watch cute girl and laughing while learning some joke of japanese people. Well just maybe u can sub and explain the 2nd of this skits
Hi, thank you SO MUCH for analyzing, translating and explaining it! I found more episodes on youtube but auto-translation makes absolutely no sense! Could you pretty please analyze newer episodes?
I saw this video like 2 years ago, it didn't have subtitles but I still enjoyed watching those two 'kawai' girls. They belong to a group like AKB48 but I don't remember the name.
Lol, both girls breaking character is so funny
They do that after 1:12, 3:07, 4:26, 5:38, 8:12
In general I love how this seems like a commercial where they left the outtakes in.
Like they said “cut” and everyone breaks character, but they left that in too.
These are great they just seem like they learnt their lines then filmed in one take, but you can tell everyone is having so much fun

Ah I see. It makes sense now.

Yeah, first of all, as you said, japanese humor is full of nonsense and surrealism.

Mai Shiraishi and Asuka Saito for the cultured ones in the comments section.
This should be pinned
I'm not cultured, but they are both gorgeous and funny!
Kinda sad that nogi new gens don’t do this kind of CM anymore.
Seeing them break character was the best part!

This is a pretentious comment pointlessly telling us something that is obvious just from watching the video.

Having watched several comedies - TV series and movies - from Japan, I can confirm: Our Japanese friends are funny.
Fantastic. I love "what the hell is going on" humor. Gotta go digging for subbed japanese sketch comedy now i guess
the guy in stripes really just said whatever he wanted lol
"don't mind"
When the guy was talking about ordering some pepper was laughing like an idiot but with the UNMA skusaku i died. This video is really good man, thanks
"Is that how it works? Then I'll bu- Of course I won't buy one!"
the fact that this feels ad libbed sometimes is so good
1:24のところ、OkayじゃなくてOke「置け〜」(put down)って言ってるけど意味は通じてるからいいのか笑笑
After watching that AD a few months ago, getting this recommendation brings a smile on my face.
I don't know why but Mouse company is like people also like our commercial/ AD's we give them more
this one was weirdly GOOD.
This guys a good actor. It's very difficult to do a schtick like this and come across as genuinely reacting to stuff you already kniwnis going to happen.
So this is the Japanese equlivant of the BBC Two Ronnies "Four Candles" sketch?
No recuerdo la ultima vez que rei de esta manera, dios mio vaya cuspide de la comedia, definitivamente los japoneses le saben, great work of translating this to bring it to us man, keep it up!♡♡

Poor guy, all he wanted was some food and drinks to be served by cute waitresses.

The absolute patience of this man 😂😂
This company has achieved the pinnacle of ads. Ads where u not only don't skip, u actively seek out more
Was real happy when I realised I could follow the first ad. Was completely lost after that though. Thanks your your translation!
translating and explaining these weird and complex jokes is wonderful! I laughed a lot. this video has a lot of work put into it, thank you!
I don't need a new laptop but I want this laptop just because of how cute and funny the ads are.
i didn't search for this but i'm glad i found this channel. =)
He could've made this all a lot easier by asking for the coffee and toast while the other guy was there... or just saying "I'd like to order the same, please". :D
The sole reason I stuck around and watched the whole was Mai Shiraishi ❤
This is seriously the funniest commercial I have ever seen 🤣
I like how the striped-shirt guy just tries to make them break character with improv. At least that's what it seems like to me.
They're both so pretty but the one on the left is stunning
What a hero thank you so much for doing this!
First I watched this years ago was from the first uploader without translations, shame that I missed this 5 months ago. But thank you!
I see the jokes are just play on words or puns but with the "waitresses" being the boke while the White shirt man is the Tsukkomi.

I'll probably upload it within a month. No guarantees but it's in the queue. ^_^
Haha oops I lied - I did truly intend on making it at that time though.
I dunno if I’ll do it anymore, however… sorry 😭
do you have link to original video? I understand japanese a little and I want to see it
Not really that hard...same for all cultures, once you understand the culture a bit you can understand the humour. People from outside the West struggle with YOUR humour, so don't act like Japanese humour is special or the hardest to understand
@@tevarinvagabond1192 dang bro u put a lot of words into homies mouth there dontya think
After seeing a few japanalysis vids I was 100% expecting my man to order a chiigyu
There is no blooper if the bloopers are part of the final edit.
So clever!
Using idol is super effective. Almost want to buy a gaming pc now
"I'm pretty hungry... so I guess I'll have toast."
This commercial made me want a Mouse G-Tune laptop. Fujitsu Celsius was great but it was very difficult to find one with RTX GPU for my work
It's like a Monty Python sketch! This is great!
I used to watch the mouse commercial song a lot, it's still in my Playlist
Thanks for posting this! It's hilarious... in a weird, Japanese way... 🤣
The enter key scene deserves an oscar. lpøå¨
Inspired me to also press enter like that gentleman.
Dude... for the price of coffee receiving a high spec PC.
At this point you'd vault the bar and make that toast
White shirt guy's conversational Japanese is hilarious.
The fact they can't even stay in character makes it way funnier 🤣
I remember watching this commercial on YT years ago, I believe most of the members are doing solo stuff now as far as i remember.
is that what you believe, kid?
OMG... So, like... my gf is Japanese but we're both Dutch. I dunno how we fell into this but you guys owe me a new coffee table (naah!) and her a new drink (yusss) 😁 She did explain some to me, and I get the word joke idea, but the way you executed it.. omg... I'd have grabbed the PC at 2:08 and ran :P
this channel is underrated, new sub
Goddamn it, the more I see these commercials, the more I want a Mouse computer.
thanks dude
mousu mousu is my religion
I have no idea why this was recommended but thank you... UNMA
This advert have been haunting my youtube for the past 3 years..luckily nanase is cute
Sissonne the comedian duo is freaking funny, especially the skinny guy, his expressions bro i just cant hahaha
These girls are too cute.
This customer's bill is going to be insane... and all he ordered was some toast and coffee...
"will this help us sell more computers?"
"computers?"
I found an easy way to remember all the meanings of 'sakusaku', to munch/crunch on something crispy/flaky and leave no crumbs (as in do something skillfuly).
本当に面白かった
You mean I’m not the only person who likes this commercials ……草！！
Honestly I learn a lot by this video, well I already watch it this long time ago but w/o sub and the meaning joke of skits, this kind video is rare when you watch cute girl and laughing while learning some joke of japanese people. Well just maybe u can sub and explain the 2nd of this skits
Great Vid! My favourite part is around 8:23
I think they just serve you whatever you really need
Reminds me of sketches in "Ariyoshi no Kabe" where Sissone is a regular member
Hi, thank you SO MUCH for analyzing, translating and explaining it! I found more episodes on youtube but auto-translation makes absolutely no sense! Could you pretty please analyze newer episodes?
their song is pretty dope btw. they have a music video
THE ONE ON THE LEFT PLEASE!!!
"repeat after me" 😂😂😂
this is so good🤣
“ o my pc come bac tank u so mach “
I'd still go back to this diner
This is so dumb, I love it. Like, it's funny becasue it doesn't make sense. It's not even a misunderstanding, just a goddamn cartoon.
The funniest part is that they keep breaking character
They improvised half of this 😂
I saw this video like 2 years ago, it didn't have subtitles but I still enjoyed watching those two 'kawai' girls. They belong to a group like AKB48 but I don't remember the name.
They belong to nogizaka46 and was name as akb48's official rival, the girl on the right already left the group, the girl on the left is still there.
Please be careful when saying the word kawaii. If you say kowaii it means creepy.
Mouse is fumbling the bag if they dont make a diner/maid cafe, even as a pop-up 👍🏽🤣🤣🤣🤣
No mouse-dancing. No giant cat. Fail.
You know what? Forget it. I'll take the PC, of course with the price of a cup of coffee obviously.
If they don't give me this kind of service while Ordering Mouse Products, I ain't buying it
i forgot how much i adore Japanese humor. i need to find a place to catch up on Gaki no Tsukai, as well as sumo.
Thank you!!!
1:23 this ''okay okay okay'' transration is wrong.
this is 置け(oke (put it))
既出。
I feel the girl on the left is having a lot of problems carrying that desktop PC.
This is the first Japanese commercial I thought was boring, and not strange or weird a
i always love the sketches of "Gaki no Tsukai"
Everything is better with 2 qts laughing
