 		Whoa!
That was weird! What is up with the green hand and the cheese flag? A Moose? The worker is happy though after the boss yelled at him. Slusho? Slusho makes the bad boss go away?
What is the picture in the first room with the employee? can anyone see it?
It looks like the 'meraid' swims up with the same picture....

 		Some fella named Tom on the cloverfieldclues.com blog board found an interesting connection:

I don't think anyone's mentioned that connection here. I think it's definitely relevant to the commercial--perhaps Tagruato and Slusho! are making fun of a particular French man, Le Bandit Vert, from tidowave.com?

 		Hey, I know this is a bit to ask, but can someone PLEASE sample the "You Can't Drink Just Six!" part at the end, because I need it for a song I'm making (Slusho! commercial song remixed). Much appreciated. Very Happy

 		Translation
Mooose:It's your mistake to wait for a chance without doing anything.

Floating Head, Male:Sa-sad... sa-sad...

Floating Head, Female:It's important to always keep your eyes open for a chance, don't you think?

Repeated chorus of either "Slusho: We're Happy Flavor" or "Slusho: We've Got the Flavor"

EDIT: Oh gawd I hope no one's posted this ^^^ already...I've gone through 10 pages of this thread and my head is about to explode. Shocked

 		So I'm still not 100% sure on why little sayings like "Take advantage of opportunity" gives him rejuvenating strength.

I really like the idea of this theory. Is the monkey itself green? Because that would be a nice way to connect the dots.

 		How's this for a hair brained conjecture: the cooky looking Japanese guy *IS* the monster...

*DISCLAIMER*: I have not been able to see the video in non-laggy quality, as my machine... well... sucks. I also saw it several hours ago, so humor me.

- He starts off sealed in a enclosed space, frustrated that he can't get out. Something blocked his exit, and he's upset about it. He's visibly violent, but unable to break through the barrier.

- The creature is introduced to the environment that is Slusho!, and is exstatic about it.

*Tangent*: I first thought the creature might have been a gnu (for Ganu), but no... it's definitely a moose.

- The creature is happy for a moment, then becomes strong enough to break through the door leading to the outside world, leading in to the ocean.

Other than that, whoever made this is on drugs. Much better drugs than the "Manhattan is the monster" guy, I must say.
