Well, I thought about going with a trailer for this one, since that technically counts as a commercial in my mind, but… I ended up going with this instead. This commercial depicts a woman kissing a delivery man, and then that delivery man delivering the kiss faithfully to what could be termed a somewhat unwilling reciepient.
I like this commerical for the humor, first and formost. But the way that humor is set up in such a short period of time is worth looking at in more detail. The commercial starts out with chirping birds, introuduces touching piano music, and sets up shots as though this would be a typical romance. Then, after a fade, we see a wide shot of the delivery guy and a man that he then begins to kiss – the music, at that point, abruptly stops. I think the amount of cuts used in the scene with the woman, as opposed to the single shot in the scene detailing interaction between the two guys, can be seen as the key to the funniness of this commercial. Also, let’s face it, the sound of the dude as he gets kissed is amusing.
Honestly, there’s not much bad to say about this commerical. If I had to say something, I’d say it may be a bit longer than the average American’s attention span when watching commericals – but, even though this commercial uses english text, I think it’s fairly obvious that it’s meant to be viewed in Korea.
