Here it is, the followup to my "Best commercial" post: my second favorite commercial I had mentioned.
What is it? Well, it's a Korean commercial featuring RoboCop advertising fried chicken.
This thing makes me giggle with glee. I don't know what the actual brand name is, but it sounds like "What the Hell? Frieda Chicken!", and that little jingle at the end makes the name so much better.
There are many memorable quotes in these thirty seconds of glory. Sayings that we should all use in our everyday lives in the kitchen or at a restaurant, such as, "Yo! I'm about to eat," when we sit down to feast; or, "Can I get a dessert?" when we're ready for that after-dinner delicious treat; and, when entering a KFC, looking at the buffet with astonishment, exclaiming (albeit in a monotonous, bassy tone), "Oh, what the hell, frieda chicken."
Truly a magnificent commercial—especially since it stars RoboCop, the first film of his coming close to being my favorite, following Blade Runner (which reigns supreme, particularly Ridley Scott's definitive Final Cut).
For some reason, there are a variety of other RoboCop commercials from Asian countries, mostly Japan. East Asia (or at least Japan and South Korea) must have been pretty obsessed with the guy for a while. I'll post the ones that I know of, seeing as how they all tickle my fancy.
RoboCop is grateful for his noodles.
RoboCop knows the perfect solution for eradicating cockroaches.
RoboCop endorses new, sophisticated machines—Sony VCRs, just what the video people of the world were expecting.
I want some of that super swing system. And super surround...something.
Those are the ones that I'm aware of. I hope to discover more Asian commercials with RoboCop advertising food and household appliances.
