Celebrities appearing in crass, potentially embarrassing, or shoddy commercials that only air in a place far away from their normal stomping grounds. Japan commercials can be fun at first, but they have more juice to the emotion barriers. A celebrity may be willing to do certain things for money, but they'll also have a set of standards for what they'll do. You may think it's reasonable that they have their principles, but you forgot that most successful celebrities sold their principles and sense of shame bundled with their soul and 92-year-old grandmother in a package deal made at a crossroads to a gentleman of considerable wealth and taste. Deep down, not all successful celebrities believe that there is No Such Thing as Bad Publicity, instead they are able to recognize (or pay their agents to recognize) that doing something embarrassing or "beneath" their standard for some short term bucks can become a Never Live It Down that harms their long term prospects and marketability. They will refuse crass or embarrassing uses of their time. The one exception: if it is done very far away where no one will see it. And by "no one", we mean "no one who speaks English", and by "very far away", we usually mean "Japan". Some celebrities are also willing to do foreign commercials as a way of keeping themselves visible in that market, when they don't have a movie being released over there at the time. Doing talk shows and TV appearances in their home country is feasible since they don't have to travel very far. Doing talk shows in a hundred different nations every other month would be nearly impossible. With a commercial, they only have to shoot it once, and it will be aired fairly often. A trope that exists in the behavior of celebrities (actors/singers/etc.), and is also picked up readily by those in the industry and reflected in the works they make: A celebrity goes over to Japan, possibly somewhere else, and then does a fairly embarrassing job clearly made only for the cash and in the belief that, due to the language barrier and the lack of appeal of a Widget Series, nobody back home will see it. If it ends up on YouTube, it quickly becomes an Old Shame, which is why many have it written into their contracts that they can't have it be spread around. Because it is all too easy for these commercials to be leaked onto the Internet nowadays, this is likely on its way to becoming a Discredited Trope, if it isn't already. The term itself is a portmanteau of "Japan" and "Pandering". Compare Embarrassing Ad Gig, Kitschy Local Commercial. Compare Germans Love David Hasselhoff. |

Pepsiman is the video game equivalent of this, exploiting blatantly American settings to tie in with a Japan-exclusive Pepsi campaign. American actor Mike Butters gets to spout Japanese-subtitled Engrish slogans such as "Pepsi for TV-Game" between scenes, even though he was not a big name then (and still isn't, despite appearing since then in several Saw movies). | |

Lost in Translation uses this for Bob Harris's reason to be in Japan. He's there doing an ad for Suntory whiskey in a job that he in no way has any reason for being chosen for other than for being a recognizable face. His wife keeps phoning him about carpet samples and paint colors so it's implied that he's building a house which is probably why he's doing it. The depressed funk he gets from the debasement is a large part of the entire theme of the film (note that Sofia Coppola's father, Francis Ford Coppola, did in fact do this with Suntory ads in Japan, as did Sean Connery, who gets referenced a few times in the movie). According to Bill Murray, he's very familiar with a lot of Japandering commercials (understandable, since they mostly feature his contemporaries), and there was a particular face each of the actors made he wanted to mimic. According to him, it was a face that said "I can't believe I'm shilling this crap." |

Public radio star Garrison Keillor is the voice of Honda in the UK. The ads themselves are dignified (in one ad, however, he cheers on the English football team ahead of a World Cup), but a US endorsement would lose credibility with the anti-commercial fanbase of public radio, and his Lake Wobegon material concentrates on the domestic rivalry between Ford and Chevrolet. | |

A fairly common idea among Yuri!!! on Ice fans is that champion figure skater Victor did some of these back in the day, and that his devoted fan-turned-competitor-turned-''actual boyfriend'' Yuri Katsuki recorded and saved a bunch of them. Victor being Victor, he's never upset when Yuri (or his family) pull them out, and if anyone's embarrassed, it's Yuri. | |

Mo Harris on EastEnders, of all beings, makes reference to the practice as part of an Aesop about how you should never sell stolen goods near your home turf and should do it a few boroughs away instead. EastEnders is fond of transparent ploys to be relevant so most likely, one of the writers saw Lost in Translation one night and then spend several months trying to work it into a script. | |

Some of the boys of Bondi Rescue used this trope as part of a prank on one of their co-workers. They pretended that he was the favourite lifeguard among their Japanese viewers, and so he was selected to be in the commercial for a new energy drink. The name of the drink translated as "cat piss", which was what was in the can he was drinking from. | |

Joey from Friends is at one point a mid-level daytime Soap Opera star and ends up doing this from an advert for Ichiban Lipstick for Men, wearing bright blue lipstick while bright blue animation and dancing schoolgirls interject a number of flash cuts. You watch it, you can't un-watch it. | |

In Hot in Cleveland Victoria dreams of the day that she's achieved enough fame that she can sell out for a boatload of money. She ends up doing a commercial for adult diapers. (They preserve the freshness of crotch!) | |
