Dear god. We play so much dodgeball in Japanese schools. Like, it might be the national sport or something.

Otosan plays ball
Hey everyone, new Japanator intern Tyler Jones here. You may or may not know me from Tomopop, but for those of you who don't I have decided to win your trust and admiration with videos of loveable dog Otosan playing dogeball. Softbank's latest commercial has him and the White family coming up with English phrases to use while flinging balls across the court at each other. The large captions complete with pronunciation tips somehow remind me of the old Road Runner cartoons, only they go by much faster. Hit the jump to see the video.

8:53 AM on 10.20.2010 Otousan hates the new guy; I love the new potsHAHAH! These Softbank commercials keep on getting better and better. Kai-kun is seriously becoming a better actor with age. His portrayal of a pissed off Otousan is spot-on here.I love how angry he is. He doesn't li...
