The one for the "BBSliner" is so...interesting . It's the one where the skinny girls and muscular guys are on that machine that vibrates horizontally and all their skin is jiggling. They are just smiling and laughing all the while.

Also the one with the crabs! They squeeze the shell, and it all oozes out, and it dribbles down the guy's chin! It is really funny!

Those are the ones I see the most frequently. Anyone else?

The vibrating machine that resembles a horse's saddle. WTF for the product and the STRANGE commercial.

Have you heard that background song in the apartment ad, "I want to just kill myself?"

I get such a kick out of that Cham I Sul soju ad featuring the C.S.I. look-alikes. I giggle as I stand on the subway platform, watching them "analyse" the soju for freshness, and then enjoy a tipple right there in the lab.

That ad for Cops on Korean FOX that has "f*ck the police" by NWA playing in the background, completely uncensored.

Somone please tape it and put it on youtube. It is AMAZING. You would be famous.

It amuses me that Kia uses James Dean in their new Sportage commercial. Do they realize that he died in a car crash?

I'll admit I am a bit of an On Style addict.

So, can someone tell me what the ad with the sperm swimming towards to egg is about?

Is it advertising a new show or something?

I really hated that old one for the Tefal iron, where the iron falls off the board and flattens the cat. I see too many flattened cats here as it is.

The most OBNOXIOUS and metrosexual (re: wannabe gay) one has got to be the Sunkist ad with the young man singing to some girl about a Lemonade soda drink.

A close second is the one with that girl with the bushy eyebrows (she needs a hedgetrimmer) who appears on every other ad trying to be a rabbit or cat or something and whispering like a 5 year-old as she skips across the balcony to wash her clothes.

The sexiest for me is that very sultry Korean girl dancing seductively while a small gathering of young people cheer her on. I think a Sprite commercial or some other soda drink. What's her name, by the way? I could watch her samba for hours.

In general, tv commercials that show men driving on adrenaline, at high speeds, and grinning like they own the road and delight in hogging it. Because I see guys driving their SUVs just like that, and accidents happen.

I agree with stevemcgarrett about the lemonade ad.

Lemo-lemo-nay-eee-duh!

Another one is the truly bizarre new Korean Air adverts. Still pictures of peoples faces, rapidly cut together, accompanied by random baby squawks. EEH-HONK-HONK-EEH-SPLAT EEH-HONK-HONK-WEE-BLAH

What's that about?

Korean Air sucks so we should be glad their ads do too.
