My favourite is the K2 mountaineering ad with the ice shark. The guy's expression at the end is priceless.

I hate most Korean ads. But there's a trick I discovered that makes them universally enjoyable: mute them. I don't know how it works, but all of a sudden they become hilarious.

Yours?

I hate whatever ad I have to watch on the bus 10 times a day!

I chose not to get cable TV in my new apartment. 1 pitcher of watered down Cass deserves the 5,000 won more than the shit they put on Korean TV.

LOVE POT

I think it's lobby group set up to get the legalization of cannabis through.

The Rush and Cash ad featuring what appears to be a parody of the Beatles and Beatlemania. Remember way back when their ads featured Han Chae-young? Those were the days.

Apologies for the blatant plug for my blog, but then considering that it's all about Korean advertising then I think I can be forgiven! Very Happy

But with hundreds up there then it does make choosing them a little harder though...

Just scrolling quickly through recent posts then, probably the most bizarre is the first video in the link below for Soksu water, which, as I explain there, resembles the surreal, nightmarish 1994 Soundgarden track Black Hole Sun more than anything else. Sure as hell doesn't make me want to drink water anyway...

Easily the coolest is this next one for Jinro Soju though. I always have and always will associate soju with fat ajosshis puking their guts out at 6pm in front of a Family Mart myself, but if I did have to try and make soju cool somehow then I don't think anyone could have done better than the first video in this next link:

That sex chair looks a lawsuit waiting to happen!

That being said I would try it in a heartbeat.

I really like the fastcash service with the girl dancing to it with the sunshine and all that-the newer one.

too bad she is doing a commercial for scumbag vultures who should get their teeth kicked in.

Hated:

Cold Orange Juice commercial with that annoying woman who almost has a heart-attack as she eats the orange.

119-Lady commercial with that woman with the goosey voice-- she says "il il goo lady"

Ever notice that the Rush and Cash commercial with the 3 "black" women is actually 1 black woman (the singer) and 2 spray-painted white girls?

Hated:

ANY of the L-L-L-L-Lemonaiduh! commercials.

The Bennigans commercial with that douche "comedian" who can't speak below a scream. What's his name, 노홍철.

The green tea commercial with 윤은혜 where she dances in the elevator with the ajumma.
