Nothing Says Summer Like Japanese Jock Itch Commercials

Each summer, dermatology company Ikeda Mohando rolls out a new series of jock itch medicine commercials. They are… unforgettable.

If you’ve been readingKotaku and paying attention to the stuff that a lot of our writers like, you’ve probably watched Bong Joon-ho’s terrific post-apocalyptic train-tale Snowpiercer.
