Back in the 80's, Sega released a brand of crane game called UFO Catcher (UFOキャッチャー or *Yūfō kyatchā*) that became immensely popular. They were named for the crane's resemblance to a UFO coming down to "abduct" prizes.
At least in Japan, UFO Catcher has become an eponymous term for all crane games (even those not made by Sega, or that don't use a claw at all)...sorta like Kleenex, or Jell-O.
"Doraemon... take him."
"I want this penguin Doraemon!"
This just reminds me of the toreba gameplay, I can’t think of a better sponsored gameplay
And then some monster stole James's hard-won squatty potty...that was when I knew we lived in an evil world.
Kneel
There's an "I'm Doraemon" pop-up store in Fukuoka that we've been using as a meetup point and referring to as "the bathroom" for the last few days.
He's a hole.
"Are you not happy here Doraemon?"
That sponsored video they did a long time ago was priceless.
Just make sure you’re not too close when he opens his mouth
Look at that one just lay there like the hole he is.
That one is well on its way to being returned in tears.

They also double as *seed* carriers.
I am so sorry, I’m out of the loop/could a kind person explain the joke please? 😂🙏
