The Goofy Gimmicks of Pepsiman

hi everybody I'm here in some middle part of America like Utah or Minnesota or something I'm not quite sure actually today is a very special day today we're looking at arguably the most popular and high-end demand thing you goofball's been screaming and stopping at me to talk about that's right today we're taking a nice and long 10 minute Gander at Shoots and Ladders that's right Shoots and Ladders a game that released in 1943 and in my opinion wait wait wait why is there music playing why is it getting louder whoa whoa whoa who was that one was that okay Shoots and Ladders is canceled we're talking about that 1990s a perfect child to be shown as an example for condom commercials is screaming and crying for no reason or some reason that I deem not a good reason miles away across Suburbia using his super hearing he is approaching the myth the product the legend Pepsi man Sprints toward their home at 24 miles per hour he summons the suspicious brown liquid no not that other one and then all is good this is Pepsi man he's got a chain he's shredded For No Good Reason owns a Chevrolet Corvette we may not like it but he's the perfect man Pepsi man is an American superhero made in Japan to promote Pepsi which in the pre-pepsi man time was losing significantly to Coca-Cola and those pesky polar bears that didn't exist yet with enhanced physical traits extreme durability and most importantly the ability to summon Pepsi at any time when he forms lips and says his ever iconic catchphrase Chua saving the day from any and all crime and conflict as long as it's related to a very specific drink brand a regular Pepsi Man TV spot will open up with at least one person dehydrated or pissed about not having Pepsi like death he rapidly approaches pepsifies the situation and in some way gets severely injured like sometimes it's so bad he gets hospitalized all while this is happening a sticky little ear worm of a theme is playing I Wanna Be him I'm not even kidding I would drink Pepsi for the rest of my days if they let me be in a Pepsi commercial with him coming into it I fully think this lovable lad is the funniest thing I've ever had the chance to ramble about the mere thought of him makes me wanna drink what's really interesting about everything surrounding the characters virtually everything surrounding the character there's commercials of people screaming about bottle caps a Pepsi Pusher pal which they just edited over the original commercial like like it's not it's not very difficult this is the same commercial with that little in it from before he also seems to perform more outlandish stuns when the Pepsi used to be delivered for at least one woman so fellas if you see this man he is going to steal every woman you know I actually don't think my viewers talk to a woman besides the commercials emerge by far the biggest Pepsi man thing to exist is the game on the original PlayStation it's not called drink I felt really stupid looking that up and not finding it the game starts with a guy raiding of ending machine for Pepsi when there's probably a grocery store nearby he takes a Pepsi break from all the Pepsi and goes for a drink and then music starts playing right out of the can and he picks it up and justifiably goes wait what what what huh what's going on in season ever iconic muscular spandex men running down a road in the void the gameplay is relatively accurate to the source material someone tells Pepsi man about an ongoing crisis he makes his way there running through whatever he needs to get to the location like through homes and stops halfway for a drink even though he can literally summon Pepsi unless he's like trying to refill himself like a car with gasoline he averts whatever the crisis was and then runs home even one time ironically running from a giant Pepsi can all while the theme is once again glaring in the back but you probably maybe already knew that I think the first stage has you trying to stop a riot because a vending machine isn't working and then you need to refresh some people as an entire city is on fire then you gotta help people in a plane crash I don't think he should be running from that one but the final mission sees Pepsi City Yes you heard me Pepsi City because the Pepsi Mega computer responsible for the world supply of Pepsi stops working because in this universe water doesn't exist it's only Pepsi and there's no employees actually working for Pepsi it's just a robot and a Pepsi man holding the world together because everyone needs it and I guess here at least world peace is only achieved if everyone gets Pepsi which sure is a dystopia in between stages we jump back to the guy in the intro and I really do believe he simultaneously hilarious and depressing to watch Pepsi has absolutely ruined this man he grabs like 15 bags of snacks and Pepsi for about 45 minutes of watching someone else play sponsored video game and consistently every time he shows up he ends up trying to tell you to drink Pepsi while eating garbage I don't want to indulge in your garbage I want to play Pepsi man no disrespect to the actor playing this character because he probably got paid in Pepsi as well but that doesn't mean I don't not unhate this character because I I really do imagine being on a diet and playing this game and then you see this middle-aged dude talking and moving around like he's looking at himself in a bathroom mirror of a trampoline park spending his life savings on an extremely specific niche of junk food of only PepsiCo products and then telling you to indulge in this food in order to be as joyous as he is this is the first time in history that a severe drinking problem is objectively funny like sorry Billy you can't have a birthday this year and your college tuitions are gone because your father went overboard on Pepsi night again fun fact the average person will die after drinking about five two liters of soda which equates to about 15 cans of Pepsi and uh I don't think this man is very average holy another game he's part of is fighting vipers specifically on the Sega Saturn basically he's just a silly fighting game guy in game there's not much to it he just looks kind of silly like his icon is the most dangerous bowling pin you'll ever see so now I'm here now where I come to a point where I'm still a bit unsatisfied about everything in general just to an extent I think the main issue going on at the moment in part comes from the general lag of anything too deep when considering the character like he's from Japan and has a kind of complex history of being an American superhero but like what is he in the surfing commercial the ending season being shot with a water gun and the sound the impact makes his metallic implying that this isn't a spandex suit but instead like a thin Iron Man suit if he's even made of Flesh and Blood like look at his head here I've seen that happen before and I don't think you can just walk that off his lack of any form of eyes yet easily being able to force a mouth to appear is part of what makes this even more convoluted you can tell me he's like that one guy from Terminator 2 and honestly that's more likely the case he only possibly has two enemies dehydration and the other being Coca-Cola in a time where most brands try too hard to be funny on Twitter back in my day you would simply run their employees over with a semi with the exception of Larry who's just a nice guy who happens to work at Coca-Cola otherwise it's safe to assume that this beverage man wants to kill the other beverage regarding Pepsi man it really pains me to say it but maybe having a branded superhero who can only do branded hero work is a bad thing yeah I'm sure him helping some kids out at a local Burger King is part of a Pepsi man days Pepsi man's words but I wish he could just save the planet like from that asteroid and make it turn into Pepsi and Make It Rain Pepsi because I'm kind of interested in how that would impact the planet actually in one ad he runs into a bank for his usual day saving work but immediately bails when he sees robbers wearing ski masks similar to him then he gets arrested even though everyone knows that he's Pepsi man and all the witnesses can confirm that he just bailed he didn't actually like commit crime this is the second time a drink mascot has been a known enemy of the police this is probably a sign of Passage more than anything speaking of which the Pepsi man and a ski mask is Pepsi man's other identity lemon twist Pepsi man who's the same guy but again what do I say he's yellow that's that's actually just it there's also lemon twist Pepsi woman you can clearly tell this is a Japanese commercial now but there is another another Pepsi related superhero who does the same things but not really because there is in fact a Pepsi man that came before Pepsi man in 1993 instead of Japan there was a single commercial released in Mexico this is Pepsi man unlike Pepsi man Pepsi man who's an actor instead of a CGI character played by Paul Rodriguez he used 400 pounds of pure muscle can fly is confident make silly faces and most importantly he's a good role model in 30 seconds we learned more about him than we do in Pepsi man across years of content in the 90s and looking at it as it is I think Pepsi man might lose to Pepsi man in a fight other than that killer theme song I think Pepsi man might overall just be potentially battered we've seen what the more popular one is capable of he may be perfect in every other way but as a hero he's just a clumsy dude wearing red who only really runs fast we already have one of those we don't need a second Dash from The Incredibles we never see either of them doing any real superhero work but I don't think that lovable bald freak is winning this one tragically I'm kind of conflicted about Pepsi man now like I want to know what his deal is because every time I think about it we hardly know anything about him other than some general traits I came into this clicking my heels together in Delight talking about the funny liquid man but now I'm pulling his Socrates questioning considering pondering and now honestly I think maybe that Pepsi man as a character might have actually been wasted Pepsi as a company is quite literally in a coma on top of a mountain of gold Pepsi man would very easily become a household name if you brought him back faster than you can say adrenaluke high dystrophy he would immediately become a world icon I want to see a 24 season soap opera following the life of Pepsi man he should be up there with the most iconic superheroes ever the face of a Cinematic Universe now it's stuck between two dozen commercials and an honestly lacking 25 year old game bring him back or just make him a movie it would outperform anything Marvel is making it would outperform the Flash in seven minutes even if it had a budget of 74 cents in a screwdriver if you're looking for a lead make me Pepsi man I know how to run I could drive his iconic Corvette I'm not even making this up I would genuinely never drink anything asterisk besides Pepsi and I mean it and the worst part is I don't even like Pepsi it's weird and chalky every time I have it you know what's better than Pepsi Coca-Cola you know what's better than Coca-Cola Dr Pepper you know what's better than Dr Pepper water his water is good and good for you and you should always drink it with some exceptions don't drink water before or right after getting your wisdom teeth pull out and especially not if it's poison that is definitely probably bad in conclusion the word Pepsi has been uttered roughly 60 times in this insightful discussion and it's gonna be said about four more times yet the most important question of all Still Remains unanswered what happens in this universe when someone doesn't like Pepsi like are they ignored does Pepsi City attack them surely they have to do something to the fellow anti Pepsi goobers across the planet that definitely exist I hope unless they don't because I never see anybody going out of their way to go against it and where is Pepsi City exactly it's supposed to be on Earth but that's ridiculous how is there just a city of a below average drink oh wait what's going on [Music] foreign
