We don't even include jokes in our commercials for serious shows.

Also, don't have the video for this commercial, but when I was watching the first episode of Dragonball kai when it first aired in Japan a strange commercial came up. I wasn't listening much to it, because I just laughed when everyone turned into this:

ごはんですよ is what the jar reads. "Gohan desuyo"

-Edit-
Stopped being lazy and actually looked out of curiosity

I can give a rough translation for you guys if you want. In the Dragonball one, everyone comes out. They're like "Ah, Goku! Long time no see!"
"Who's that?"
"Oh, it's my son!"

Then Gohan comes down "Pleased to meet you, GOHAN DESUYO" (play on words "I'm Gohan")

Then everyone proceeds to turn into those characters.

Interesting notes - Gohan means rice, and apparently that Gohan desuyo stuff is seaweed paste that you use on rice. Or something like that. Hell, it's 4 AM, I'll have a look at this stuff later.

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME DID THE CHALK COMMERCIAL HAVE TO DO WITH MILK!?

Also, I remember that XBox commercial. It got banned?

Milk helps you physically, it helps you to concentrate on chalk being thrown at you. You'd understand if you watched Naruto, but like you said, "It's gey".

Yeah it got banned a long ass time ago.
