Bitches without Ramen Noodles, Leave
I knew Robocop liked his Korean chicken nuggets, but ramen? Apparently so, if these two Japanese commercials have any basis in fact. Obviously, cyborg Alex Murphy likes ramen enough that he uses his internal holster to store disposable chopsticks, which implies he likes them frequently. Although the first commercial is pretty sane — I mean, for a video about Robocop promoting instant ramen –but make sure you stick around for the second, which features an army of pudgy Japanese men in horrible Robocop costumes on the beach, Robocop holding an electric Robocop toothbrush, and an overly excited Japanese mom and her confused sun. To sell ramen. Still. Obviously.
