From Season 10 Episode 06 of Friends -- The One With Ross’s Grant -- Joey Tribbiani appears in a Japanese Lipstick for Men commercial. Saiko!

Chandler’s ad agency gets a new account and Joey wants Chandler to get him in the commercial. Chandler doesn’t think he’s right for the part, so Joey gives him a video tape containing a sample of his commercial work. Chandler doesn’t watch it, but lies that he did. Joey realizes the truth because Chandler never says anything about his Japanese “Ichiban: Lipstick for men” commercial.

Check out the video below for a crazy Japanese innovation that turns your baby into a cleaning device. An excerpt from the print ad:

There’s no child exploitation involved. The kid is doing what he does best anyway, crawling. But with Baby Mop he’s also learning responsibility and a healthy work ethic.

The full transcript of the print ad:

Make your children work for their keep

After the birth of a child there is always the temptation to say ‘Yes, it’s cute, but what can it do?’ Until recently the answer was simply ‘lie there and cry’, but now babies can be put on the payroll, so to speak, almost as soon as they’re born.

Just dress your young one in Baby Mops and set him or her down on any hard wood or tile floor that needs cleaning. You may at first need to get things started by calling to the infant from across the room, but pretty soon they will be doing it all by themselves.

There’s no child exploitation involved. The kid is doing what he does best anyway, crawling. But with Baby Mop he’s also learning responsibility and a healthy work ethic.

Thanks to Rin who pointed out that the black-masked Hello Kitty cosplay fail from the Top 10 Cosplay Fails is actually an actor promoting the team up of Hello Kitty and MAC cosmetics. The bizarre advertisement where this gimp-looking Hello Kitty appears in is below. I think that YouTube user Zephythes sums up this commercial the best:

A lolita Alice in Wonderland rip off in massive shoes, sitting on a pile of cotton candy, decides to follow a black cat through a drug haze scenario into a giant pink vagina. She comes out in Bondageland where she’s gang raped by a bunch of BDSMales in black leather FEMALE Hello Kittty head masks. Dominatrix Kitty watches in euphoria and molests her. Then she wakes up with a Bondage Kitty doll and is HAPPY? I may need massive therapy to understand the WHY, DEAR GOD! WHY??? of this commercial…
