Forget kung fu action films, the newest kicking badass is this stinky-footed office lady from Japan.
Hey, it’s Wednesday! Just two more days left in the work/school week for most of us, but even so, Friday still can’t get here fast enough. Especially for the over-worked office lady in this new commercial. After someone — we assume her boss — drops an enormous stack of files on her desk with only the slightest “Thank you for your help,” the unnamed woman rises, takes a few paces, and removes her shoes.
Now, we’ve seen enough martial arts films to know some spectacular kicking is about to occur. What we didn’t expect, though, was for almost half a dozen of her befuddled colleagues to fall without her stocking-clad feet even making contact. But before you think the stunt coordinator messed up, the Hyper Kick Lady leaps onto a desk and we’re treated to this Quentin Tarantino-style shot of her feet.
▼ If you’re not sure what’s happening, that’s not smoke — it’s B.O.!
You can almost smell the awfulness through the screen — the aroma of feet after a day at the office is something we’re all (unfortunately) intimately familiar with. The commercial continues as the Hyper Kick Lady stink-kicks her co-workers into submission, ending with the message that our feet produce a cup of sweat every day.
▼ If this image doesn’t make you feel queasy, your stomach is stronger than mine.
And that’s why Kiwi has produced the “Refresh Spray,” which will apparently fill your shoes with refreshingness from toe to heel. We’re not sure how effective the actual spray is, but this is certainly one of our favorite commercials!
▼ And we suspect you might agree with our assessment.
Well, we bet no one will ever ask this office lady to do overtime again! Or offer to give her a foot massage. It’s probably a trade most of us would be willing to make, though.
If you’d like to see more videos with badass women, be sure to check out the newest music video from Sputniko! and this commercial featuring a sword-fighting school girl.
