Yoda Advertising Ramen Noodles In Japan

November 21, 2011 / advertising, characters, commercial, food, i wouldn't have paid for the licensing rights i'm just sayin', i've lived off these things for months at a time, love those things, noodles, om nom nom, one time a friend bet me to eat the styrofoam cup after finishing the noodles and i did, star wars, yoda

Because 900-year old Jedi masters can't survive on Dagobah swamp stew and dragonlizard dicks alone, here's Yoda in a Japanese advertisement for Nissin Cup Noodles. I'm not really sure what the relationship between Yoda and ramen is supposed to be, but my guess is a sexual one. You suck ass, George!

Hit the jump for the great, now I'm hungry.

Thanks to Marie, who picks all the dehydrated corn kernels out of the cup before adding the boiling water and eats them dry. YOU TOO?!

    Alternatively, "Luke, I am your fonter." God I hate myself for that. And, well, pretty much everything else I've ever done. Anyway, because some Geekologie Readers have to go home and give themselves glitterstim enemas if I don't meet their daily quota of Star Wars posts, he... / Continue →

    This is a Japanese commercial for Calbee ear-shaped chips. I have no idea what the hell's happening, but it appears to be a love triangle between a boy, girl, and anthropomorphic circus dog. Which, now that I think about it, makes perfect sense for a Japanese chip commercial.... / Continue →

    You're about 66 years late, dude...

    ...too soon?

  • Man! I really wanted to year what Yoda would sound like with Japanese dubbed dialog.

  • Azariel_z

    Pretty cool Soundtrack..better than Prequels..

  • Reminds me of the time you said at least six of my fifty chicken nuggets was definitely breaded chicken dicks!

    You the man, GW!

  • that looked amazing and makes me wonder how close lucas is to actually having special effects that can look this good yet cheap enough for tv. then again im sure cup noodle paid out that asteroid(PUN!) for this thing

    That shot makes it look like the effects in this commercial are INFINITELY better than CG Yoda throughout all of the Prequel Trilogy... I mean he looks like an old Asian man and not like the puppet Yoda, but quite impressive!

    Also, you down there with the last name Zuniga, I'd think you'd go for the Schwartz reference... what with obviously being related to Daphne Zuniga and all...

    ...I liked the comments on Geekologie when they were somewhat anonymous.... booo to actually logging in!!!
