(The Nostalgia Critic pops into the screen wearing his signature "I 🍩 Donuts" t-shirt.)

NC: COMMERCIAL--

(NC is handed a piece of paper from someone off screen.)

NC: What's this?

(NC is now standing in front of a greenscreen between Heather Reusz and Malcolm Ray.)

Heather: The script says this is an international commercial special.

Malcolm: Yeah, you need a little bit of an intro.

(NC looks at them and the script, confused.)

NC: But I'm so used to giving no context when I'm in this shirt, all I do is scream.

Heather: Trust me, it's not just when you're in that shirt.

(Critic shrugs it off as all three of them move to another part of the office.)

NC: OK, let's set this up.

(Clips play of other international commercials from other commercials specials.)

NC (vo): International commercials. We've looked at quite a few of them over the years and it's refreshing to see our country isn't the only bonkers one out there. For years, people would recommend tons and tons of ads from all over the world, but my original focus was mainly on ads I grew up with in North America. So, I'm gonna give the rest of the world its own special, because if there's anything PSAs from other countries have shown us, it's that they not only want to haunt our nightmares, but sometimes they want to sell you something while doing so.

(Cut to Malcolm and Heather standing near the doorway.)

Heather: And what weird and wacky title are you going to give the special?

NC: Oh, I got a good one. I'm calling it "International Commercial Special" because I'm running out of (cut to a picture of his commercials playlist next to posters of Halloween 4, Revenge of the Pink Panther, and Escape from the Planet of the Apes) Halloween, Pink Panther and Planet of the Apes titles.

Malcolm: That's anticlimactic.

Heather: Do you have anything for the opening bumper?

NC: I certainly do!

(A clip from Lost in Translation shows up where Bob Harris (Bill Murray) promotes his liquor pops up.)

Bob Harris: For relaxing times, make it Centauri time.

(Heather and Malcolm look at NC, confused.)

NC: This is probably the only one I'm gonna do, let's GO!

Korean Robocop Fried Chicken/Robocop Nissin Noodles[]

Man: What's your secret recipe?

Robocop: If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

(Robocop lets out a monotone laugh, the guest diners also start laughing. Robocop continues laughing in a stiff robotic way before suddenly stopping and turn to face the camera menacingly)

NC: That was more intimidating than the R-movie it was based on.

Calbee Dog[]

Nicolas Cage Pachinko[]

Nic Cage: Tr-iplets?

(Cut to a slot machine that slowly shows the three triplets heads as it cuts between that and Nic Cage mugging for the camera).

Nic Cage: FEVER!!!!!!

Nic Cage: I love Pachinko!

NC (as Nic Cage): Or maybe I just have a Pearl earring fetish! Tell me I don't have that!

(The Looney Tunes theme plays over footage of Nic Cage mugging for the camera and headbutting a Pachinko ball-headed alien before saying "Pachinko!", then it switches to a image of Castor Troy from Face/Off shrugging as the "That's All Folks!" caption appears)

Pakistani Sonic Happy Meal ('McDonald's Sega Games Night')[]

Rubicon Spring Drinks[]

Announcer: Water's had a fruity fling! New Rubicon Spring water!

NC: Whoa! That's all I got whoa!

Thai Toothpaste[]

Pepsiman[]

Announcer: Pepsiman!

NC: Even when he doesn't show up, he lets someone down.

(Cut to a commercial that shows a Mexican man lost in the desert. He passes out and then sees PepsiMan running towards him in the distance!)

Announcer: Pepsiman!

(The Mexican man stumbles towards him)

Mexican Man: Sēnior Pepsi!

(Pepsiman does his thing....only for it to be revealed to have been a mirage and the man was really looking at a cactus. The man drops to his knees and sobs)

NC: He he he that guy died.

Coca Cola Driver: Pepsi Please!

(Pepsiman obliges giving the driver a Pepsi. He is really happy after drinking it)

Flora Wrestlers[]

Japanese Men's Magazine[]

(Cut to a Rokurokubi)

NC: It's not today, Satan! It's not today!

(A clip of Injun Joe (from The Adventures of Mark Twain) screaming fades in, making NC yelp and quickly pull the next commercial)

Yorkie[]

Sega Shiro[]

Sega Shiro: Sega Shiro!
