A Japanese Potato Chip Commercial
I'm not exactly sure what's going on here. Can any Japanese readers explain? Video

Kid is mopy after school. Dog tries to cheer him up by imitating an old granny farming rice. They eat beef-flavored potato chips together. Everyone is happy!
I'm not Japanese, though -- just lived there in the 80s.

The little boy got 0 on a test and is depressed.
The dog tries to cheer him up by holding up obscure cultural reference signs. The first one says '7:3 split'. The second says 'Vice-Principal'.
Next the dog dresses up as a farmer (not necessarily a granny) and does a "dojo-sukui" motion (scooping loaches, which are sort of like freshwater eel with whiskers). Dojo-sukui wearing a funny conical mask thing is a Japanese Comedy Touchstone.
When that fails, the dog takes the boy to the store where they get a bag of Kalbee Consommé Punch potato chips.
It's not supposed to make any sense.
