the Most *Impressive* TV Commercial in China

[dorakirayooooo]

......fuck up

[Roflcopter02x]

how the fuck can ppl like this?

[feckingtediousgoogl]

LOL! is this like the PRC's version of the rick roll?

[AfterStarX]

The budget for it must have been below 10 bucks.

[devilpizza123]

LOL just like the rest of china.. this ad has the intention of brain washing people into going to the beijing olympics :D

worst ad ever? anyone?

[history00maker]

Was this seriously on tv?

[TheAmelia2108]

I JUST LOST HALF MY IQ.

[johnsoncuiChina]

这广告都给我童年阴影了 操！！

[lubbooliver]

sarcasm



[TheGustaveOon]

You know that feeling you get when you are rudely awoken on a Saturday morning by bible bashers yelling "Je Sus Christ, DOG DOG DOG! Je Sus Christ RAT RAT RAT! Je Sus Christ, OX OX OX?

Now you do.

[DrBZR1]

This is definitely one of the worst ads ever made. Thankfully, it was so bad that it actually got me laughing. It certainly deserved to go on The Gruen Transfer.

[Triarii3]

HOLY shit....that is so fucking ANNOYING...HOLY SHIT....

to those who dont know hwat it means..it's saying "Hong Yang Xiang" company is a proud sponsor or The 2008 Olympics. and then it repeats 12 times for each 12 chinese zodiac animal and each animal repeats its own name 3 times as it appears....

....this company needs a new marketing department...

[TaiGekTou]

鬼死咁白癡。。。＝＝

[xieqi2010]

I am terribly sorry to all the people for such a stupid ad.向廣大觀眾道歉，這個廣告實在太雷人了。

[TaiwanGreenteaLeaf]

洗腦廣告！

[mrdx21]

yes the most 'impressive' and the most offensive shit

[GaolisVideoLog]

OMG～～～～ So annoying. But yeah, it does get stuck in your head after all.

[solosroce]

I take the representation of all Chinese people to fuck this advertisment

[a0478786]

大陸人真可憐

看這種廣告

不會是十二生肖一次撥完吧?

看她好像沒剪接過@

[jinpc1989]

挖坟

[mnsbmsrulez]

psycho ad ._. the "hengyuanxiang,!@#%#@#$#@^&" keeps running in my head

[djdeca]

puta q los pariu de comercial fdp

[foxming]

学中国属相，这个广告最有用。

[TangTiantian1990]

rubbish~~~~~~~`

[xingfenzhen]

when this thing on for the first time, I thought my TV broke...

[cheungkaiwai]

crazy at all....

[HesseJamez]

hung juan chann hey chin how joo jay??

[joe9320]

It's like the Chinese version of HeadOn. Those Chinese guys must have ripped off the HeadOn advert and created this.

[windsthatblow]

wth!!!!like that also can??

[lolipopfrenz]

LMAO~!! HAHAHHAA.!!..xD

[oc16chan]

when there is nothing to impress the people, this company can only make people utmost disgusted to remember it...

successful?

[TheGustaveOon]

@oc16chan Would you buy a pair of Heng Yuan Xiang socks if you see them?

[tbonedlive]

WTF is going on?

[bin8200]

who is the brainless smart ass created this??? fuck him upside down

[crakcer123]

丟人現眼

[Candymylife]

agreed...

[zhantonio]

不得不承认这个广告很脑残...

[rafikingkong]

WTF　i m chinese and saw old version fo this commercial

[666Avian]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

tututu langlang lang shesheshe WTF!!

[Ligersknight]

Thank god we don't have commercials nearly that annoying in America -_-

[ChrissySvg]

hahaha, i was cracking up at this so hard. i have issues. feel free to agree.

[freakmoister]

wtf!? That's like the lamest version I've seen. I mean usually they only repeat the sheep one like three times... which was bad enough already. This is way too much.

[jimmyjamesWang]

lol, you totally missed the point, man, this commercial is flipping hilarious!

[chanvictor88]

For Branding it is very very bad execution.

[KonnichiwaX]

This is all the animals from the ZODIAC if you don't know chinese culture..

Each animal represent years. i think there are 12 animals or something

[FatmanC4123]

12 years, 12 animals.

12 years is one short cycle

While 60 years is one FULL cycle

[suneechan]

not an impressing ad.. annoying! (X_X)

[ssfounder]

dude, u should read the sarcasm in the title....

[Hongers1]

@ssfounder that's true, because there are 2 type of commercials that captures people's attention, the really good ones and the really annoying ones.

[MarkyVigoroth]

@ssfounder Me, the title made sense when I took the title literally...

[TheAnnoyingThing1915]

@suneechan yeah duuuddde cu apparently putting * infront and behind a word turns it into a sarcasm font

[BigBuck523]

Well.... atleast you can learn how to say differnt animals in Chinese....

[OrsinoDuke]

well, if you are hated by everyone for 20 years, it is also an achievement. They keep doing ads as this for 20 years. In China, if someone mentions disgusting TVads, they are always listed at the top, but they got everyone knows their name.

[peacefulman123]

???

[leonlim20000]

wow...lamest clip ever. Zero star for this crap. Don't even deserve to call itself ad.

Just wonder which ads agency make it. Please go to hell with the client Heng Yuan Xiang. You destroy the Beijing 2008 name.

[joe9320]

What do you expect? This advert is shit, the brand is stuck in my head and I can't pronounce it!

[bdyan1]

talking abt lack of imagination lol

[kindheartedmuah]

i dont get it o_0

[limestream25]

hey fnite20034, ur right, it is embarrasing!

[seabury]

HAHA

[tenderneko]

@.@

[beadyslay]

They call that technique Pester Power

so it's Pester Power to the max!

[handsupboy]

WTF is this? Holy Shi% I can't believe it.

[platinazb]

lol, this is indeed impressive....

[deja2048]

so this is where we got 'apply head on directly to the forehead' (??????????)

[Daht88]

HOLY SHIT

[455898334]

hhahahaha

[fnite20034]

真是丢人哦！

[jinucl]

ＯＨ my god...........so .ROLGLGL

AWESOME

[fnite20034]

真丢人哦。

[gierkep]

谁？

[CHNOnyon]

看这种广告就像被强奸！

我绝对不买恒源祥！

[gaijintendo]

I am pretty sure these were intended to be very short adverts played separately - and they were not cut into shorter adverts by the network. I imagine the kid that produced the adverts face fell when he found out.

[ssfounder]

you should see the description of this vid. the brand is Heng Yuan XIang

[ssfounder]

the company wants to carve their brand in you memory

[nickxusen]

yeah...chill it to our bones

[zlzcrakino]

这个广告，太他妈弱智了！

[felixk0079]

草泥马

[rejecool]

To the Olympic Games

Shame

[wendychin1990]

its so stupid. i mean  its just a boring Ad, but u guys , like relate it to political issue.

[webook1208]

haha,when you watch it on TV, you will think if the TV set got problem and need to be reboot, very stupid ad indeed

[thegreatblueyard]

damm it

[hankoolio]

LOL first time i saw this version

I dont know how this could be related to "brainwash" though... I mean if you really understand what the commercial means here

It's just a stupit commercial trying to make a impression on the viewers PERIOD

[lichun007]

哎  中国人啊

[ImmortalCHN]

话说回来，这广告确实垃圾。不过的确又很有广告效应。

[lesammi]

操

[thetruekinetics]

i LOVE this commercial. LOL

[kkzifh]

WTF..it's really boring...

[Liang13131313]

这个广告真恶心。。。。。so disgusting.....

[78897366]

这个广告在上海台播一遍就被禁止了，被确定为垃圾广告了

[Crystal8791]

这是人制作的。。。。擦桥！

[xszwz2007]

The great Chinese culture ...

[Dash7parr]

No,it's not chinese culture...

[chejiefang]

yes,it's just a commercial.

it's not chinese culture.

[LittleYuki86]

omg.. thats annoying!

[rushmusique]

哇——太精彩了好像后面还漏了一个癞蛤蟆——呱呱呱。

[wlam]

lol i would go down to their company headquarters and pull out a shotgun

[GodOfWarKratosPS3]

o shitt!!!! i would definetely change channel

[pantseeker]

wow...

[hazzerr]

That's just Chinese foreplay with a picture stuck on it.

[littlechattie]

is that really in china channel ...

[renji2129]

shit, now my mind only have "恒源祥"......

[lilnemo7]

what the fuck was that????

[pal2011]

wtf...wow and they actually paid for all the airtime for this....

[bitterdoll27]

"made in china"

[superarticulation]

我最讨厌这种广告了！！！完全是洗脑广告生怕别人不知道这三个字­。一点艺术感都没有。

Translation:

I dislike ads like this at all. The repreating words just rush straight in my brain for fear that watchers would ignored its brand.

So if I watch TV, I always choose Phoenix TV and Phoenix Information TV.

[xuci111111]

lol? If you only watch that Phoenix channel you're missing on a LOT of good programmes

Plus, TV commercial isn't about making you immersed in art and philosophy, it's about SELLING stuff, don't expect that much from your TV

[superarticulation]

lol

You are right.

[cbob0080]

wow, that is annoying

[Michelle3239]

all the comments that are sent sayin bad things bout china is SHIT mind ur self nobody told u 2 watch it anyway WHAT WOULD U FEEL IF SOME1 SAID STUPID DUMB ASS AMERICANS

[Lobos222]

I would agree and say. Yes, there are many dumb ass Americans in America, just like there are many brainwashed Chinese in China.

Eg:

"Mao was just tricked. He wasnt responsible for the Cultural Revolution(aka, a massacre). He was just in charge..."

When I hear stuff like that from Chinese people its clear to me they have a warped view. You dont get common sense from most Chinese, or at least the vocal ones, you just get rhetoric nonsense.

[CodenameLan]

yet today, china is developing at a rate that no other nation could ever dream of attaining

[chejiefang]

I'm a chinese,my English is poor so i wish you could understand what i'm saying.

First,This commercial is a rubish in china too,you see the first commercial,it's our normal.Then,I used to think Ameriacns was opened,they knew many things of the world.But I think I'm wrong,they dont know what exactly china is no longer it was,we are not brainwashed anylonger,especially the youngs,like we all know Mao was so responsiblefor the Cultural Revolution.You just know wahtwe were,butdon't know what we are

[Eva1990Momo]

恒源详这广告从小到大十好几年了 都是这样的 这次就是好多个连续接在一起.

说实话 这十几年看恒源相这个广告 我就是觉得这个比较无聊 但是也算他们广告的特色 起码这么一来 我们都知道了.

这个不叫做rubish 这个幽默和笑点我觉得就是给中国人看的

我希望座位一个中国人 你能做到处理好措辞 谢谢.

[z11y11f11]

笑点在哪里啊...大哥...

我觉得就是垃圾~

如果我们的垃圾我们也要给别人说是好东西我们的文化,我们自己的­缺点永远不敢于正视我们永远也不能进步啊~我们永远就拍这种广告­吧.~~

[Lobos222]

There isnt freedom of speech in China.

I dont live in the states.

I live in a smaller country, Norway, and whenever Chinese citizens, aka tourists, are asked something political on tv they go with the "political correct answear" because they know the Chinese ambesay is watching all news in any form related to China.

Fear/brainwashed, it dosent really matter when the result is the same.

[lqkfleeco]

U'll never understand chinese, u thought we are brainwashed, but how about ur goverment? look at bbc and cnn, they tell lies to u, there was a chinese word which means ambulance on the car, bbc and cnn said that was troop's car which kills our people. REDICULAS!!!!U ARE BRAINWASHED INDEED! U ARE WRONG!

[ImmortalCHN]

Firstly, this video and its related issue is nothing about Chinese government, Chinese culture and brainwash. I wonder if you've been smokin pot when you watch this cuz you've been thinkin too much. Secondly, you are brainwashed to believe we're brainwashed so that you can ignore whatever we said and fight for. That's pathetic you.

[Lobos222]

First, my org post was in response to another user, not the video.I could say google free speech,or free debate, but you will probably get an error or something...

Second:

"..you are brainwashed to believe we're brainwashed.."

Now thats a pathetic counter argument.

"ignore whatever we said and fight for."

Oh,you mean like democratic rights,free speech,none dictatorial ruling?

You mean stuff like that?

Why dont you start a political party that goes against the CCP and see how far youll get.

[ImmortalCHN]

Why must I start a party against CPC even if I liked it? Against sth just because of some kind of childlish rebel, that's pathetic you.

[Lobos222]

Point is, you dont have a choice.

You, yes you, do NOT have a choice in the matter.

You will support the CCP even if you agree with them, or not and you will like it that way.

Thats the extent of your "freedoms".

[vinchino]

LOBOS , you're dumb.

if you don't know how life is in china, don't talk if as you know everything

[Lobos222]

I know enough about China to comment about it so why dont you take your "smart" no argument insult and swallow it like the load you did from the CCP.

[vinchino]

well, i don't think so,,,you western people just don't know nothing,,,,you just assume that's it like that.

[Lobos222]

You know what.

I think you have a different definition of what free speech is because you and some of your mates can talk about "anything" at home, but that is not free speech.

Free speech is when you go public and try to mass support for your view. That you can not do in China if its against the CCP and thats a fact!

Just because you are a Communist and support the CCP, which maybe to you means you have the "freedoms" you want, dosent mean that the CCP provide freedom after western standard.

[vinchino]

i'm not a supportor of the CCP nor the communist idea. but right now at this situation, it's best to leave it that way. as long as the china economy is growing and people can bring food to the table.

its good to change china in to democracy, but its just not the right time. if it changes now, the economy will plum all the way down. china needs to be at a stable economy before it can change into democracy,

and that is what you western people don't understand.

[Lobos222]

Macro economics shouldnt dictate peoples lives, which they do to a level in every country, but what am saying is that as long as this view is viewed as valid.

There will be no real change.

"if it changes now, the economy will plum all the way down. china needs to be at a stable economy before it can change into democracy"

I bet you CCP will say similar until the end of there days. Change will never be painless. Then again, I, in my life, gain by the average Chinese being held down. Fair?

[lcym925]

Hey, dude. stop ur democracy please.

[Lobos222]

You know what lcym925.

I can happily live with that you dont agree with me, but I wont stop, or try to dictate against, that you can express that.

Even if its not pro "my view".

Thats the difference between me and the CCP.

They should change there name doh.

Chinese Communist Party..., well, technically they are not true communists anymore, not really socialistic ether. Social welfare isnt "top" priority in China.

Maybe CPCP. Chinese pure Capitalist Party?

Maybe I should buy some CCP stock...

[vinchino]

you just don't understand,do you?

a lot of normal/poor chinese people see their lives are improving each year. why would they risk the democracy thing,

change will bring down the economy. but that will change when china reach at 2030, i think.

you never visited china before, so please leave us alone. it is you people we(chinese) hate the most.

it may seems your helping chinese people for their rights, but you're actually harming us.

i hateCCP and communism but its just not the right time

[nickxusen]

Firstly,thanks for having us in your democracy game..

For most of chinese students,we belive you are a friend to "help "us ,but the words you say do disturb our daily life.

We enjoy our life,yeah,we belive in our future.

[nickxusen]

we can write and speak in your language,but you can not speak and write in chinese...

THAT'S the different.

We learn more than you,and we will be enjoy more opportunities

THAT'S the different..

CCP is improving itself,so we youth support it...UNDER the leadership of CCP,OUR contry is developing to be a strong and responsible member of the world.

If you were us ,how would you treat CCP？

Tell me....

[Lobos222]

Actually,I both speak and write more than one language.

What and how you write your response reminds me of a hour long BBC radio production where they talked about how the motivation for young Chinese people had changed.The majority where not joining CCP because of ideological reasons,like old school CCP,but rather to have a higher chance at a good job later.

The point is,when people like you talk about having"freedoms"etc, its in the party line, but its not factual to the average Chinese man.

[nickxusen]

NO pains ,no gains.I agree too

BUT I have to tell you.WE belive in our eyes,not your words.We are optimistic about our nation's future,though we know some of our friends,like you,cannot understand it

Welcome to China~

[Lobos222]

I think you are going past what my org statement was.Like you say,you are opt for the future.

What other people say here is that they have total freedoms TODAY.Which is clearly not true and that willingly blindness from so many Chinese believing this is what am critical of.

If you think you have freedoms today.You wont know what to hope for in the future.Just because things are going better,by what you see, dosent equal that you should lose all critical sense,but many have lost that in China.

[nickxusen]

Well ,Ive tried my best to be polite.but I have to tell you that we have no interest in ur games...I think most of Chinese agree with me,even if some of them are not for the CCP.

We welcome you here in china,but dont be a dude please

NOW ,I wont talk you with in ur language.NEXT time ,in chinese, please

我不喜欢共产党，但我深爱着我的祖国和人民，同样，我不喜欢美国­，但我愿意和美国哥们交个朋友，您自重~

[Lobos222]

Da får vell jeg ta neste respons på mitt språk da...

Jeg tror ikke de fleste hadde vært enig med deg om de hadde hatt et åpent fritt valg. I motsetning til nå hvor de bare har "lov" til å være enig med staten.

[nickxusen]

这样展示所谓的民主，对中国的语言和历史一无所知还来说三道四，­是一种羞耻。这种事情，中国人做不来，别再来烦我们耳朵

[gierkep]

I am actually quite fond of China, and I am an American. I have spent a great deal of time in China. I will admit America has many problems, but I dont think saying negative things about America in Chinese where you know 90% of the people reading it wont understand. If you are going to bad mouth people, you might as well do it in a way they will understand. Just childish to do it in code.

[nickxusen]

Let me translate it:我不喜欢共产党，但我深爱着我的祖国和人民，同样，我不喜­欢美国 ，但我愿意和美国哥们交个朋友，您自重~

=I am not for the CCP,but I deeply love my own contry and people,and,I am not for the USA,but I think I can make friends with American guys.Remind yourself ,please.

[nickxusen]

I sorry that I wrote the words that guy cannot understand,for he has to be sorry for his too many words about us.He cannot read and understand our language and culture ,just a guy to repeat others say,how could he blow out so many negative words towards CHN and CCP?

[nickxusen]

U know ,bothin China and America,there are more and more colleage students are trying to show their friendship and confidence.But some of them are unpolite,so we have to admit that ,sometimes,the pride and prejudice of some people do embarrass us...

My suggestion is ,Lobos222 should learn more about CHN,not CCP

[gierkep]

哈哈，我自己会看中文。  我也希望美国人和中国人会做朋友们。 我已经喜欢你的外交想法。 有机会请你喝几杯米酒，你在中国什么地方。 我常常认识很多不喜欢美国人的中国人。　可是我不会生气。　我就对他们很好。给他们觉得我自己是好人。

[gierkep]

后来他们就会觉得我们美国人也好。　改变他们的想法，不要叫他们笨蛋（世界上有很多笨蛋，可是告诉他­们这样没用。帮助他们提高他们自己会提高我们世界）。

[gierkep]

I hope the people of my country and the people of China can grow their friendship to where we might all consider one another friends. To lobos, experience a culture before you rag on it. Makes you look smarter and other Americans more respected internationally. Comments like yours make my life in China hard

[nickxusen]

很高兴认识您，一个看得懂汉字的美国朋友。我在上海。只是一名最­普通的在校大学生。我的观点在同龄人中具有代表性。那就是我们这­一代强调实用性。民主游戏我们懂，只是不想过早卷入。

[nickxusen]

我们现在能做的是，让年轻人更多地参与政治生活，从基层逐渐改善­民主生态。中国未来，掌握在中国青年手里。对于国外的不同想法，­我们求同存异，这是我们历史上伟大的周恩来总理的说法

[juniornutshell]

Speaking in your native language is not speaking in code? If you have an issue with this, please go an visit all the American postings ridiculing N.Korea, make a point that they need translate their insults into Korean, then we can continue with a whole other list of hate postings from America. Give a little take a little!

[gierkep]

It all depends on the forum in which it is written. The video poster wrote in english, youtube is arguably an english website. (im assuming that your first sentence was a statement and not a question). obviously were someone to post negative things on a chinese website in english they too would be acting inappropriately. the forum you are using is an important factor as to how it is received.

[kesel5588]

It is ridiculous to apply your standard to others. Why do people have to accommodate others. If you don't get it, ask.

[gierkep]

i both speak read and write chinese, som im not sure i understand your comment

[Ichimaru007suteiben]

PLDR chui plié c trop relou mais en même temps trop marrant faut savoir se lâcher aussi !!!!

[soniemeow]

normally chinese ads arent like that

this was a national joke when it was on

and everyone talks about it online and offline

but i guess its gained the publicity that it wants

[syf1120]

this is shit,but it's the MOST bad ass shit in the world!!!!whoelse in the world got creativity like this?! i gotta say,this is just a genius blow-the-shit-out-of-you type of ad that only chinese could come up with!

[daibangtrang2003]

CHina simple stupid !!! China will never become a developed nation

[ayytalktome]

booooo booooo booooo

[ZotDudot7]

Forget Chinese water torture, this thing is pure cruelty! :-O

[CtrlAltDECIMATE]

This is why I don't go to China...

[kiewzhenyi]

Irritating, surely it's costly.

[VampireNinjaKKC]

Reminds me of the "head-on" commercials we have here in the US "head-on apply directly to the forhead! head-on apply directly to the forhead! head-on apply directly to the forhead!" actually I could use some of that after watching this comercial.

[MarkyVigoroth]

I kind of like this better than HeadOn (a headache medicine/placbo which commercial uses the "repeat 3 times" tactic). At least they use all of the animals (which I bet that they use a different one each time), and the music is interesting.

By the way, I am a monkey.

[lycongtu]

WDF?? this is not commercial..This is communist brainwash..

[freefrank21]

its a stupid advertisement of sweater factory on a stupid channel. and it aint the olympic parter

[JillianChung]

I think they repeated that 12 times, with all the Chinese zodiac animals on it.

[WolYou]

Chinese style mass hypnosis.

this is soooo stupid, they probably heard in psychology if you repeat things three times you never forget it. the ad might be effective in making people remember the brand, but there is no information in it that promotes the brand or make it look desirable. people just remember but will not want to buy anything if anything they'll be turned off by such idiocy. i am sincerely sorry i clicked on this video because it said it was impressive. a stupid chinese ad... this is NOT impressive at all.
