Forgot to mention this, but the Fruity Oatie Bar (and Whedon’s explanation of why the ad looks so surreal) are the easter egg on the Serenity DVD.
Kelsey is right, BTW. Whedon will frequently borrow an idea from another creator, but will then run with it like no one’s ever dreamed.
I give Groening credit for coming up with the idea first, but Whedon gets credit for making Japanese commercials even more fun than they already are.
Nah, Fruity Oaty Bars is a better commercial. Better animation, catchier song, much shorter, only less annoying by a fracture. Besides, I think that the oaty bars would be healthier.

To be fair to JJ (even thoughI love Joss more) they have actually explained the polar bear.
Dharma was doing research on animals, including polar bears. They escaped when Dharma collapsed.
The cages that Kate and Sawyer are kept in at the start of the 3rd Season are the old polar bear cages.
I go with Slush-O. It’s a nice little callback to JJ’s show Alias, when Vaughn offered one to Sydney in the second or third episode of the first season. So for nostalgia’s sake, I back JJ.
I hate to have to be the fanboy here, but the Firefly/Serenity ‘verse’ is an amalgam of U.S. and Chinese culture, so the Oaty Bar commercial isn’t likely to be Japanese.
I agree with EP Sato. Slusho is the better of these two, but Mr. Sparkle rules them all.
