|
|
They are running a camera commercial for Olympus, I think at least that is the camera, and the song in the background is in English "Give me your banana, let me eat, your banana." I chuckle every time I hear it.
About six years ago, AFN was running a commercial about "The silent killer" which was a vending machine, and it warned service members not to shake a vending machine if it ate your money, as people had been killed by machines falling over on them. Hmm, how many people were killed by this, I wonder?
So, what is your favorite, or funniest commercial you have seen while in Korea? |

I like the one where it looks like the girl is performing fellatio all the way until the end of the commerical, thoguh I hear they banned it from Korean TV. |

Probably the Play SENS laptop commercials with a guy dancing around in a truly bizarre and demonic kangaroo suit a few years back. Those were great  |

That commercial KILLS me. Especially since the lyrics to the song are something about putting a not fully ripe banana in your mouth (says my boyfriend). |

I like the men's Head and Shoulders one. It's not funny, the guy is just super hot. And no dandruff! |

I love so many of them. I like the new one with the young lady and the "chipmunk" type music. Rush and Cash are always good. I look forward to new "ice fan" commercials this summer. |

i'm going to have to go with the Outback Steakhouse commercial with the coffee steak...waiter knocks the girls coffee on her steak, she looks like she's about to kill the guy, notices the waiter is hot, acknowledges that its ok and this is how she always eats her steak, continues to pour the rest of her coffee over her steak, eats it and to her own surprise it's delicious...an instant classic... |

i actually have a question, you know the commercial for the one tea/coffee drink where the girl is always wearing a shirt that shows off her perfectly flat stomach...she is by far the hottest korean girl i've seen to date, what's her name? she's always walking around with the drink in a white t-shirt with her stomach showing...i know it's vague but i'm sure there is more than one guy who agrees with me on this girl... |

For some reason I actually thought that 'Hyundai prime loand' commercial was very funny. Almost no one else I know here liked it. |

What exactly is going on with those two Rush and Cash girls? Are they both shacking up with the dashing young boss of the company? And then one of them bursts into what she thinks is the toilet, but it turns out to be the old man who looks like he's surfing porn on the internet. |
