Try it, really! Make sure the sound is on. Double click for the full screen.

When the "Whitening Source/Sauce" ad with that elegant chick from '�̱۽�' comes on, I always ask my wife:

"Who the hell is she talking to!!??"

Then I take a Xanax.

Without a doubt, the worst commercial airing these days has got to be the "sunny 10" commercial. Each time I see it, all I can say is, "Geez, aren't we overreacting just a little?". The guy's just taking a drink, and if the girl continued walking down the stairs like normal people do... and not stop half way down them... he wouldn't have a chance to see what color her panties are... if he is even looking at her, which I doubt. Then she screams like she's been violated in some devastating way. Come on... get a life.

SK Telecom - a Korean grandmother is kindly (with the help of the cell phone) leading a foreign guy to the Folk Villagey where his friend is getting married. When they get there, the foreign guy joyously exclaims "Wow! KAM-SA- HAM-NI-DA!" The way he enunciates every syllable and stresses the 'HAM' gets on my wick... and then there's a kid squeaking what is probably SK's slogan: "Tomorrow FacTO-ry"

most annoying...the men's facial cream with the Korean Soccer hero Ahn who passes another (famous) actor and they look like they are checking each other out (Hey big boy).

I HATE the commerical for some hair straightener or something. The tagline at the end of the commercial is "Unix, it's magic!" as it's spelled out on the screen like that, but when the voice over says it she pronounces "magic" as "masic". What the heck is "masic"??

It drives me crazy. And if seeing it once isn't bad enough, it's one of the ones that generally played twice in a row.

I finally learned exactly why movie theaters play those commercials two times in a row.

Those ads you see that are played twice are made for TV. Korean theaters don't sell blocks of time that short, so rather than putting together a new commercial exclusively for movie theaters, they just have them play their TV commercials two times in a row.

I hate a lot of the same commercials as you all....esp. Bennigans, whitening sauce ones, and the kimchi(thee original think tank one). Kids are cute in it, but I hate the way they crunch on the kimchi(I hate KIMCHI too!)

And about that follow your H, Hajjee's commercial....I too thought they said "Goodbye Polo" as in cya Ralph.

There's another one that I used to see too all the time, jingle goes something like "lying alone, with my head on the phone....thinking of you till it hurts.....I *beep* hate that one....some annoying girl sings that line, may be a Hazzy's one, can't recall. But what the hell does that mean? Mad

There is another annoying one, guy walks in to buy milk from this cashier girl...she has braided hair....they show a quick clip of the milk in a glass jar(expiry date reads 2010 I believe Shocked )....it ends with an annoying voice saying "CIZLE!" Pronounced like Sizzle, but said with the annoying K-way of saying Z's. Argghhhhhhh, hate that one that most.
