i liked that Freedom 50 ad for a while (the one where the dad gives away the bride and books it to the car with his wife -- tell me, is it 'since i was 15, there was hair everywhere' or am i hearing it wrong?) -- but it got overplayed and now i'm not as into it.

the i30 ad is growing on me (the super-skinny girl in the land of paper people) because the song is so catchy.

the ad with the blond guy for cleaning solution (that Noh fellow) made me leave the room every time.

worst (only because they're played too much):

"Rush-ee and Cash-ee"

"Hyundai Capital Prime Loan" with the horrible Australian accents

The one with that white chick/trained chimp/whatever on a radio program
thingy (Oh my God! She speaking Korea!)

any other commercials for loan sharks

That ad for some diet supplement or whatever it was (I wasn't paying attention, it was too hideous) featuring a white North American doctor who was recommending the product; he's most likely just an actor without a medical degree. Anyways it reminded me of those pathetic commercials I saw when I was living in the Philippines, where if the product was recommended by a white person (especially someone from the USA) everyone would rush right out and buy it.

The one where the ajumma is singing 'The Bird Song'

Worst ones:

Noh Dumbass in his commercial for Bennigan's, screaming his fool head off at how good the food is. It gives him goosebumps. LOOK AT HIS GOOSEBUMPS!! LOOK AT THEM!! LOOK!!!! HOLY CRAP THIS FOOD IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!

The World Cup commercial, where everyone in it is caucasian, but they're all cheering for Korea and flying the Taegukki everywhere. Like we don't have our own countries to root for in the WC?

The tea/iced tea commercial with (Baby VOX singer) Yoon Eun-hye dancing in an elevator with a bucktoothed ajumma. I @#$% hate that commercial.

Lee Jun Gi's pomegranate juice shower of poovery last summer could possibly the only ad in history to give a human being (me) hives.

I personally thought this commercial was hilarious, and still is for me.

I like the PAVV commerical with the people dressed sort of like cirque du soleil performers. I guess I like the bright pretty colors and neat music.

I get sick of hearing the "ka mong kong" drink commerical. Something about the song makes me want to strangle the person sitting closest to me.... Evil or Very Mad

The constipation medicine (비켜??) where the actress has to wear a motorcycle helmet when she takes a dump and she lets'em go so hard wind is blowing by her like a hurricane.

Stupid. If I have to wear a helmet to got to the toilet, that is not product I wish to buy.

That Sunkist commercial has got to be a terrorist plot. Also the "까만콩" jingle gets stuck in my head like an earwig laying eggs. The airwaves here are filled with reasons to hate TV, but those two are head and shoulders above the rest.
