You've probably seen this one, but, who cares. It's still funny.

I wish they put out more like that. I'm getting tired of seeing that same Lotto commercial that's incessantly played in subway stations. That jingle now defines underground life, next to the constipated bird twirping track they play when arriving at stations. Sad

Is it the noodle ad?

Last I heard, it was an online gag.

Classic! I wish they had more of those commercials...it's alot more entertaining than the same repetitive crap they keep playing. Here's a list of some of the most ANNOYING Korean commercials that haunt my T.V (yeah, have a little free time today) Embarassed But I live with a K. man so it's HIS fault that the T.V's on Wink

1) Any of those Megapass commercials: the current annoying one is that guy who is at a railroad going really fast, rapping "megapass Champion!"

2) The OO2 long distance girl who is following some guy apparently cheating on her with another girl. She is talking to someone on the phone, whining her a** off.

3) A cell phone commercial (they're all annoying): a guy is sitting in a barber chair, getting his hair cut, and the barber moves the cell phone in the distracted cell phone guy's hand to angle his head. Just what Korea needs...to show that handphones rule your life.

4) That regular X-note computer guy who tries to be like a gangster and is seen with all these different hot foreign girls.

5) Oh! Here's the one I hate the most: This guy gives his wife/girlfriend a bird in cage and the bird starts squeaking like an animation character. The girfriend then plugs her nose and starts squeaking like the bird, saying "ooh, saranghae!" I want to kill them Evil or Very Mad

6) Any of those actress Jon Ji-Hyun Olympus camera commercials. Why is she always crying?

Kudos to Rather Dashing, to show that funny, creative Korean commercials DO exist.

I think the one where the girl is following the guy around is about a girl who is overseas who has gotten her friend to check up on her boyfriend. She's using the super cheap rates to talk to her friend and tell her what's going on...if my memory serves. I haven't seen that one for ever.

Any of the bade (sp?) commercials. I love how the people are sitting on the toilet and then a fountain worthy of a Roman market shoots them up in the air.

I bet it is refreshing Shocked

Wait until you get here, they get pretty annoying.

Eek!!! I thought I was the only person in this country who doesn't like the latest Megapass ad. Most people seem to love it....or maybe everyone is just lying to me about liking the ads because they know that I'm dating the guy in it! Embarassed I swear he is much more normal in real life!!!

I have heard some girls say this, but I just don't see how someone who looks so greasy with a grungy looking mustache can be defined as hot. Perhaps, if he cleaned himself up a bit he might pass as averagely handsome. My two cents.

Ah yes, Erik is his name. He does look quite nasty in those MegaPass commercials, but he cleans up well. My gf loves him.

We have an agreement (a la TV show FRIENDS) that if she ever meets him she can hook up. In turn, if I ever meet Hyori I can hook up with her.

Nope, not there YET. I'll be there sooner or later, but probably later rather than sooner Sad

I also once saw this Korean cell phone commerical... this super mega hot kgirl wearing barely anything was dancing while a weird cellphone was being displayed on the screen. The phone was dancing too (spinning around and stuff), and a strange dance song of some sort being played in the background. One of my friends said he wanked off to it hahaha!

I kinda like that one. The tracks moving at his command is a neat effect. The tune is kinda catchy too IMO.

Dude, I LOVE that one. I could watch it all day. I'm not even joking. Her voice cracks me up and the way she screws up her face and sqints one eye is halarious. That actress is named Kim Ah Neul and I love her. My gf says I should hate her because "she is a bad girl and a homewrecker and she won't stay married".

Agreed.

Hated it! That guy has so many clones too.

Niether for nor against.

Ugh. she's got a great bod, not a stick figure like so many, but she's so ordinary looking. I don't get her 'thing' at all. Of course I should probably see one of her movies before I judge.

Rather Dashing? dunno.

One I kind of miss is the one where the girl goes "Mooooorniiiiiiiing!" and then drives a little econobox.
