He's right about the Parking Law's.

I had seen a few of these commercials before but I didn't know there were so many. Some of them are really funny (TLJ planting rice like crazy XD). I have to ask though, what motivated you guys to sub a bunch of commercials? I'm not complaining, I think it's awesome that you did, I'm just curious.

I thought it was funny, and it was a pain to find them all on youtube, some subbed, others not, so here's a collection from TN

XD I just love how deadpan the voice acting and Tommy Lee Jones's performance are.

They just make the adverts (or commercial) even more charming.

Too bad they didn't include the 'Men In Black' song.

Who dubs Tommy Lee Jones in Japan? If it's the same guy narrating the end of these commercials...

Succeed that old farmer, Mr. Jones? You're older than him!

"Love Is Over?" Mr. Jones:
Sorry That You're Crying
So Let's End It Here
Or It Will Just Go On

Oh my! A special guest star in #27!

I love TLJ he's one of my all time favorite actors, and after the really crap day I had with work and my car getting towed and all kinds of badness this really made me smile. Thanks alot for subbing it.

I really do think that for the parts that we see Jones talking that it was TLJ and not dubed over. I'm curious as to who does the voice over though he sounds kind of familiar but I can't quite place it.

Darn, according to Wikipedia he isn't Mr. Jones's dubber. In fact he voices Chuck Norris, and Biff Tanner from Back to the Future.

It doesn't say it on the English Wikipedia, but it does say it on the Japanese Wikipedia.

Look up the actor's work on youtube. He does some narration work that sounds very much like the Spaceman Jones narrator

Wow, he also plays Tom Berenger, and the Green Army General in Toy Story.

Spaceman Jones 28-39 released

The man in black is back on assignment. We bring you 28-39 (in better quality than the previous batch's stuff).

So I created a wiki page about this.

The guy in the fishing episode was definitely Jii's actor from Shinkenger.

Also, the guy who does the narration does a lot of toku work too:

He was Kaiser Hadess in JustiRisers, Dr. Kisaragi in Cutie Honey THE LIVE, some guy in GranSazer, and a bunch of anime roles.

Thank you much for subbing these! The first I saw was the high school teacher, but never found it subbed. So thanks once more.
