Lemonade ad takes the cake. I never thought I'd hate anything more than the pomegranate juice guy, but the luh-luh-lemonai-duh guys drive me to consider homicide.

It is a shame they went in the wrong direction with those lemonade ads like everyone is saying. I have to confess I had a guilty pleasure watching the one before this with the same girl, where the girls were sitting around the table and kind of got a little orgasmic after drinking some of the lemonade. I kind of miss that one.

The second Sunkist "lemonaduh" singer is the gayest thing ever.

The "Tings" commercial that they play 2 or 4 times in a row, despite the pretty girl, is annoying.

"Hyundai Capital Prime Loan" pronunciation lesson. Argh. The Korean guy is so smug even though he still says it terribly.

The worst commercials are always the ones you hear on a crowded bus. It's a weird mixture of offense, pity, and lethargy that you feel. The first because there's no reason why you should have to listen to some hagwon's ghey jingle because you're there to get from point A to B, not to be entertained, and even worse because it might disrupt and replace whatever tenuous song you have in your head. The second because you know nobody's listening and they've really wasted their money on an audible ad. The third because the only way to make it go by is by sitting there and doing nothing and waiting for your stop to come.

I saw some commercial with a bunch of Adjumas squatting in a muddy, festering, wasteland-like swamp, thrusting their gloved hands into the muck and pulling out these squirming squid-like things. They looked so happy to be there... showing off the squid-things they "picked"... just the look of them turned me off , made my day bleehhhh. If you took out the adjumas and put in the green blob-like aliens from Futurama, it might have been more suiting. Ugghhh... to think Korean girls might turn out like that one day. Sad

I think it was an ad for gloves? But I have no idea... I was too disgusted by that scene.

* I should mention I have a deep hate for squid, as I've gotten sick for days because of those evil creatures...

I hate those Head On commercials they always show on CNN...

BOOOOOOOOOOO....!

That tactic of forced repetition actually works though and I know their product.... But I will never ever buy it cause I hate their marketing!
