Wow. Japanese TV Ad - This is What Nightmares Are Made Of



I am going to attempt a play-by-play.

Boy comes home from a rough day of school- love just is not on his side.

A strangely proportioned, attention craving dog senses the heartache and leaps on this opportunity to cheer the boy up, hoping to further entrench himself as the creepy yet lovable family pet. His first tactic, pulled from the Van-Gogh playbook, is to brandish a severed ear.

Surprisingly, the severed ear doesn't resonate with the child. Further dismemberment is clearly in order. He severs his own head and replaces it with that of a doll. Because dolls aren't creepy at all either.

Still, it's no good. A series of nonsensical gyrations is all that comes to mind. The problem arose when he ran to the pizza store and grabbed several trays for his "pizza tray dance" - by taking his eye off the boy, he lost the boy's focus.

The boy has either discovered a new love, or has reunited with his former. Either way - the dog gets shafted.

A moment of forlorn contemplation is interrupted by the magical appearance of some kind of food product in his hand... er... paw.

This food product is just the thing to relieve him of his rejection because it is just sooooo tasty.

Either that, or he realized, as he gripped the first crispy chiplike product, that he has opposable thumbs - which is enough for any dog to get excited about.
