I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!

You know, I'm curious, isn't the guy in this commercial supposed to be a comedian or performer of some sort who was relatively famous at the time? I kind of thought so but I could never place him.

This one's ~Japanese~ but it's reasonably notable for two reasons: one, it's from a time that Square would collab with truly huge multinationals and use their absurd library of CG assets to create whole commercials for cross-promotion, and two, this commercial for FF9 was a bit infamous as being the official reveal of Garnet/Dagger, yes, in a Coke ad:

It's so gloriously weird (especially since it's stupidly high-effort for the time) and I'm sad that all we get these days are Louis Vutton on Lightning (years after her game came out) and Cup Noodle memes.
