The Laughing Salesman Can Diagnose Your Deepest Desires

posted on by Eric Stimson
Are you hungry, greedy, or obsessed with getting shares?

Moguro, the Laughing Salesman of Fujiko Fujio's manga Warau Salesman, can plumb the depths of his clients' hearts to diagnose their innermost desires. He can then help them satisfy those desires... though given the outcomes, his clients are really worse off than before they ever met him. If that sounds like a good deal to you, you can now visit Moguro's website to get a completely free and totally safe diagnosis.

The website pretends that you are meeting Moguro in his favorite bar. He will ask you four questions to psychoanalyze you. Examples include "Where would you like to be right now?", "What is in this treasure chest before you?", and "If you became invisible, what would you do?" After finishing this quiz, you'll get an obligatory "DOOOOON!!" ("boom"), supplied by Moguro's voice actor Tesshō Genda himself, and then discover what kind of desire you have. They range from classical desires to more modern obsessions:

  • Desire for approval
  • Desire for shares
  • Desire for popularity with the opposite sex
  • Appetite
  • Desire for sleep
  • Lust
  • Greed
  • Desire for success
  • Materialism
  • Desire for attention
  • Desire for control
  • Desire for monopoly
  • Desire for smartphones
  • Desire to escape reality
  • Desire for solitude
  • Desire for knowledge
  • Desire for honor
  • Desire for sympathy
  • Desire for Twitter
  • Sainthood

"You are concealing a desire for solitude. You don't join in drinking parties, you eat lunch alone, you sing karaoke alone — in other words, you want distance from others. You seem to have a tendency to want to be alone."

Moguro will also share his advice with you, and given his track record, you'd better take it.

If all this is too heavy-going for you, and you just want to hear Tesshō Genda shout "DOOOOON!!" some more, visit here and press the button.


The bartender appears if you hit the button enough.

To take Moguro's definitely accurate quiz with absolutely no strings attached, visit here. Note that it is entirely in Japanese. A new animated take on the manga, Warau Salesman NEW, will premiere on April 3. DON!
