Ma Dong Seok parody bleach commercial
Ma Dong Seok parody bleach commercial
This was too funny not to share. One of my favorite actors, Ma Dong-seok (???), was in a commercial promoting a bleach product.

The shtick is that the product is as powerful as Ma, who is a bulky guy and typically plays a gangster role. As a result of his typical genre, there is a lot of dialog out there of him threatening, abusing, and generally saying some not-so-nice things in Korean.
So of course, some clever netizen spliced together bits of lines from his movies into the original commercial, turning it into a shocking NSFW (unless you use headphones) insult-fest. If youve got the sense of humor of a middle school boy, get ready to laugh as he minces no words about how feels about you using this product.
I wont bother explaining it all. If youve spent any time in Korea, youll get the gist of it. Google some Korean curse words if youre really lost.
One thing I like about this, beyond the ?? humor, is that it really illustrates an idea I had the other day: that Korean curse words deliver the most "bite" when spoken very condescendingly, emphasizing the speakers looking down on you, rather than just screamed. But Im not a native Korean so dont take my word for it.
Anyway, you may notice Ma from any of his wide variety of films, probably "Train to Busan" being the latest, where hes a tough guy with a soft heart. He also makes a cameo in "Veteran". Both are great movies. I even liked "Midnight FM." I havent seen all his movies but chances are if hes in it, its decent.
