North Korean Television (Beer Commercial) July 2009

[ReelNinja]

That music is damn catchy



[ABHMK88]

even their tv commercial is scary as shit.

[cbohar84]

Too bad virtually nobody in the country can afford a glass of beer

[Areku911]

Because if Kim Jong Il's running the show, you need a freaking drink.

[MrUnidyne]

Taedonggang - The beer that made Pyongyang famous!

[MrUnidyne]

According to Wikitravel, the beer is pretty good. In fact, the brewery was purchased from Ushers in the UK in 2000 and physically moved to Pyongyang piece by piece!

[MrBakura91]

Shit now I kinda want one!

[MrBakura91]

It Amazing drink you can no afford !

[irishsyrian92]

It has to taste amazing if the commercial is almost 3 mins. long...

[kaimeng191]

1:41 the guy sitting there is pretending using the PC do something... :D

[InFlames767]

Imagine watching this shit 24/7

[shokkatoammerda]

lol

[GAdawgsfan93]

North Korean beer: Here to remind u that you are starving and cannot own your own house!

[ashishyadav0007]

North korea's language is the weirdest language i ever heard

[LTU932]

@ashishyadav0007 In North Korea, they speak the same Korean language as in the South, just with a few slight differences (e.g. the Korean language in the South probably has nowadays lots of Anglicisms).

[makikuroneko]

how depressing........ really.......

[laurencec09]

for beer this seems pretty acid-trippy

[Backlash89]

Hopefully it makes you as happy the day after as when you drink it :)!

[taysp]

wow a 2 to 3 min long tv adv zzzzzz

[ihahahayou]

At least they got beer to fade away from their communist reality.

[ashishyadav0007]

it comes straight from dear leader's toilet

[powerpunch180]

@ashishyadav0007 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[gentil79]

late 70's and early 80's quality.

[PhilM662]

this could pass as japanese tv with the crazy sounds and colors, but more low budget

[gecko1986]

it's ISO 9001 certificated!!

[perruano2008]

ololo!!! I wanna drink!

[skuterixas91]

I bet it tastes like warm piss

[NRAXCIV]

I though korean television was all boring and dumb.

[Spriggangirl]

@NRAXCIV North Korean televison, my friend.

[TheRantingCabbie]

Wait a minute, no Kim Jong Il in their commercials? Some one's off to the Gulag for this one.

[Grygoree]

People don't realize that Dann699's comment isn't sarcastic.

[man4consrobot]

I either just watched a shitty North Korean beer commercial or just beat everyone in mario kart, either way it was great

[nidhoggcrowley]

North Korea has television?

[rlmotionpictures]

And i still cant believe that they use the same bottles for IV.

[89murph]

The beer looks like piss >_<

[jhak90]

very informative

[JedrzejP]

"Thumbs up" for better quality than Rodrigorojo's upload.

[popspie]

Drink responsibly.. or else!

[slimv29]

@popspie not a bad way actually

[helpdonate1]

I had NK beer before.

Its basically seltzer water, coloring and some weird foam.

[chronik420mad]

asians can't make beer for shit no offense lol its not meant to be racist but its true

[wernernon78]

@chronik420mad AUSTRALIANS BEER IS A SHIT!

[chronik420mad]

@wernernon78 huh ??? australias beer is a shit?? i didnt know that sure australian beer tastes crappy, id rather some good old dutch or german beer

[mfahey]

DayTripperID - I think if its not an "state" company it seems the company seems to receive guidance from the state. In November 2009 Yonhap news agency quoted informed sources as saying that Kim Jong-il was furious when he saw the advertisements, he sacked the TV station's head, Cha Sung-Su, according to Yonhap.

[DayTripperID]

So is Taedong River Beer produced by the State or a privately owned company?

[JAMamation]

and to think that South Korea is ahead of our time!

[JAMamation]

looks like a commercial from 1960's but in colour...

[nievedeuva]

I feel my IQ fading away.... so brainwashing-like @_@... please stop... oh too late x_x

[bobbydj01]

I've asked my local Somerfield to stock some.

[YTdiscusser]

it's soo boring. it reminds me of the n64 pokemon games

[saigonpunkid]

Just like those 80's ads in Vietnam.

[NickyAmerica]

Its Apple Cider, North Korea is to poor to afford yeast,

All of this is Chineese.

[joepod]

Not often you see ISO9001 used as a selling point for beer.

[NickyAmerica]

@joepod

ITS OVER 9000!!!!

[captainpegs07]

It's deffinately anoying enough to be an Asian commercial :)

[lvzhendong]

holy shit! they have computer-generated special effects?

[captainpegs07]

@lvzhendong made on a Comadore 64! :))

[UK31337]

I think this beer is made at the old brewery which was exported from the UK and rebuilt in North Korea.

[shafarenka]

It looks and sounds like 8 bit video game console of 90th. Brrr...

[SMGJohn]

LOL this is on TV! I love it never tasted it tough.

LOL you people should have seen our car commercials LOL!

[Pdasilva0324]

I like watching Soviet era TV, especially the ads. This reminds me of those!

[Lalli1337]

it's so long...

[Scottcreek942]

it looks like a highschool powerpoint...

[narutobeast90]

@Scottcreek942 And sounds like something from Nickelodeon. o_o

[judenihal]

@Scottcreek942 It actually looks more advanced than that.

[chukkkles]

@Scottcreek942 I bet their nuclear plants don't look like high school chem labs

[Danny699]

I wanna drink it!! I wanna feel the Pyongyang ecstacy!!!

[erinjohn11]

thats exactly what i was thinking!!!....i gotta get me some!!!

[maljaebul]

It says that beer is made from rice.. quite weird

[ROONTANG]

If the guy at 1:29 is happy, despite having 1/2 a glass of head, it must be good.

[Guncriminal]

Taedong River Beer - Made with 100% Taedong River.

[jxhensley]

the sound track sounds very remixable

[Chernolapkin]

Very bizarre.

[beanio12]

Ya gotta love North Korean TV! lol
