John Fleming Pushes Gas
Possibly one of the positive results of ridiculous college entrance exams and a culture of cram schools: here’s a series of Tokyo Gas commercials. Various historical characters jump out of his armoire (the other end of a time portal) and learn about natural gas products, including John Ambrose Fleming (ad #4)! I swear, though, in the US, you couldn’t run an ad that makes fun of Fleming’s Left Hand Rule. You just couldn’t.

I’m not quite sure I understand why Nobel, Newton, Fleming, Beethoven, and Galileo can speak Japanese but Shakespeare can’t. Nor why showering causes Galileo to turn into a woman.

The Shakespeare made my life. Interestingly, it was one of the few I understood with any facility. I feel like Japanese commercials almost uniformly speak too quickly… smitten sigh
