[signaturemover]

And THAT is exactly the reason Thomas Jefferson invented the light bulb.

[lalbenatan]

I'm Thai and the scariest ghost for me is Kra-Sue.. though I've never seen any ghost in my life..

[izlude2]

kra-hung is the funniest one. just look at that thing flap away, so damn hilarious!!!

[TheMalaengpor]

[PsyberKayos]

Kra-sue and the tall ghost were fucking creepy.

[Kronikwookie]

ได้ดูในโรงหนังเหมือนกัน คนฮากันทั้งโรงเลย

[jakemittle]

so weird!

[f1lip0]

el primer mounstruo se ve grotesco y si da miedo

[partydude1337]

This is why you should not be having a meal in the cemetery.  And in Thai culture, when dog howls at night, it means that ghosts are walking around your neighborhood.

[Xero3g]

"So that's a jackfruit ghost right?"

"No, that's a transvestite"

[AngelOmega777]

What the hell! LOL!

[sampsalol]

Fuck that shit's loud, scared the shit out of me the second the video started playing.

[pondypoo]

another joke is the ผีฟ้า (sky ghost) but the word ฟ้า(fah) means both sky AND blue.

ผีฟ้า is actually a female ghost that posess women and eat their villagers intestines in some cases, usually eats cattles and chickens instead though.

this commercial made a pun of ผีฟ้า which explains y it is a blue man instead of the real ผีฟ้า

[pondypoo]

ok, ผี(ghost)ขนุน(jackfruit) is not a ghost, it is a pun made by the commercial.

since they are talking about ghosts, the kid said ผีขนุน since he sees the guy(girl) holding a jackfruit when in reality ผีขนุน refers to hookers in some parts of thailand that looks for customers under the jackfruit tree, that's y the dad says that's a tran

[kechu723]

I'm most afraid of the tranvestite in the dark

[LuminoFirewarrior]

Imagine this with no subtitles... O.O

[gilahappy]

DAMN SHUDDUP!!! LOL THE FATHER!!

I cant speak for the rest, but the first one is a Thailand Vampire myth... I assume the rest all follow a similar pattern.

[artdamage]

[thegreatMSG]

[partydude1337]

Its funny even with the sub titles, but its fking hilarious if you can understand Thai.

[Sputnik9099]

you understand thai?

are the subs accurate? XD

[partydude1337]

The sub is pretty accurate, except the jackfruit ghost part. The dad said "that's a human" but I guess the translator changed it to transvestite just for the humor

[xXgoROTinAsack89Xx]

[SuviChan]

[NeoXus299]

hhhehe nice

[seph49]

Those are some funny monsters. lol

[DjC4]

I don't know what you think i'm defending. My proud internet honour? I'm the one who called you out for being an ignorant sandy vagina cunt. I have no reason to defend anything.

LOL paste it again. Your anguish sustains me MUAHAHAHA

[croscream]

Oh; yes you can not by evidence prove too yourself that i am an idiot; because i out think you.

You do not posses the creativity to step outside mockery and snip-snap-smart; so you are stuck repeating the same routine over and over again; without any real conclusion.

[croscream]

Oh; yes you can not by evidence prove too yourself that i am an idiot; because i out think you.

You do not posses the creativity to step outside mockery and snip-snap-smart; so you are stuck repeating the same routine over and over again; without any real conclusion.

[croscream]

You have a desire to place yourself above other people; without being honest too yourself about your own potential; therefor snip-snap and mockery is used too manipulate the other person into believing that you are strong; no, dominant, and they are not; creating an artificial situation where in you automatically feel good and in control, and they do not.

yeah, yeah; i think thats it.

[DjC4]

Ugh, you're the one pasting old comments lol. Thanks for coming out though.

xoxoxox

DjC4

[croscream]

Do you know what i wrote in Dutch on my page as a response to you?

[DjC4]

you are an idiot.

[croscream]

I am neither an idiot nor a criminal torturing animals.

[DjC4]

epic fail.

[croscream]

Do you want me to say: w00t ;)?

I do not diss people, i am not street-trash.

[DjC4]

It's a commercial. it's not even a real dog. Get the sand out of your vagina. Your global views of cultures other then your own are close minded and ignorant. The only reason i keep responding to you is so that this video gets more comments and more attention. Because its funny as hell deserves the promotion. So thanks.

[croscream]

w00t ;)

[DjC4]

That's the spirit

[croscream]

always try to be cool.

[DjC4]

or at the very least, intelligent. But it's the thought that counts.

[croscream]

This mocking and satire is boring. If you give another snap-and-smart comment I will only think your idiotic.

[DjC4]

Yeah my comments are snappy and smart. Funny how that works. give it a try some time. Also, I already think your an idiot. So I could really care what you think LOL

[croscream]

Yup there you go; you cant give me another snap-and-smart awnser when i describe it in detail to you. Tell me; how does it feel to have failed? Can you honestly go on with your snip-snap-and-smart routine when that's your only defense?

Snip-snap-i-am-always-right comments are boring. Maybe that makes you boring?

[DjC4]

I aim to please ;) and for expert advice on failing I'll wait for your autobiography.

[alcuttd]

Now I am definitely afraid of the dark! I don't know whether I should lie in bed at nite and listen for the pounding beats of the "Chicken Heart or turn on the light, let it burn out eventually and replace it with another monster that I have to worry about.

Never thought my nightmares would include the world being ruined and all that comes with that from the use of a lightbulb.

Mercury, a planet far away in the solar region or is it a liquid omen that that is where we will end up? CFL=SOS!

[aagtp20]

And I was wondering how come they're having dinner in broad daylight.

[imeldaTS]

this commercial is so funny!!!!

[0532492]

The good or bad in a person has nothing to do with skin color, it's how a person express one self - shame on you Rhizo 1992.

[twisket]

Man, awesome commercial.

[fierra07]

that was an excellent advert!! haha.. i get to noe the diff type of ghosts..

[0Xii0]

TRansvestite Ghost

[alifshinobi]

the tall ghost is Preta or just Pret in Thai;

Try searching Preta in google, its good to know!

[papara31]

they call it preta in original language

but in thai they just call pret for the pronunciation system reason

[LoNeLyTeArSiCrIeD]

lol, a very great com. love it. a good one, lol, haaaaahaaaaaahaaaaa, best one i see, it's so funny.

[o0somic0o]

LOL damn, argh they had to put a transvestite in huh

[fierra07]

but the banana ghost looked like a transvestite to me.. hmmmm

[thebobulator]

wow that was a good one

[mariaclara32]

creepy when u turn off the light.

[numberonesellout]

HAHAHHAHA

[savingxcharlie]

That's the Jack fruit ghost, right?

no, that's just a transvestite.

XD

[joymaryhilary]

Hahahahaha this was awesome :)

[novatrek]

heh, nice

[deejaigirl]

love it!

[addieadipue]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[peerah]

Those are all traditional Thai ghosts according to our folklores, except for the "Jackfruit ghost" which is a slang for a really unpleasant transvestite hooker.

[Martyhero]

What's the story behind the banana, blue, and tall ghosts? What are they called?

And that bit of slang goes a long way in making this ad even funnier XD

[partydude1337]

The banana ghost is like a guardian spirit of yea...banana trees. The tall ghost, from the old folks story, are the people that used to tell lies while they were still living. Look at the video and you will see that he is sort of puckering his mouth, its because they have a very tiny mouth as the punishment. The blue ghost is actually "sky ghost", the word "Fha" have two means, sky and color blue. They possess people and make them sick. There are more details but I ran out of characters lol

[littleorbits]

Freaky! I work for the Sylvania branch at Mexico City... Didn't know commercials where being so well done!!

[towerofdave]

that first ghost is mad scary

[pri32us]

this commercial makes me appreciate being asian.

[ShinyTHPS]

LMAOOOOOOO

[Sawittee]

LMFAO!That was freakin HILARIOUS! Don't know about you guys, but I loved it, if you understand Thai it's so much funnier! <333

[sammydkat]

Only in Thailand would they put a tranny in a lightbulb commercial. Awesome.

[pf126p]

That first thing is *really* freaky. :O

[mikusmarthu]

"No. That's a Transvestite."

"Oh"

[sanchezdot]

100/100 stars 4 u :)

[ferrarienzo543]

a transvesite means half man and half woman!

[pf126p]

No, transvesTite means cross-dresser. What you described is a hermaphrodite.

[thesilverfalcon]

LOL!

[YOUNOOBbb]

jackfruit ghost ----> transvestite

not a ghost

Hahahaha

[rezzagrats]

OpiumMuseum - nice explanation about "Phi khanun". That is really funny. What street in Bangkok that had a row of jackfruit trees?

[koifishproduction]

lol the banana ghost!!!!!!!!

[xXxequisxXx]

That was great XD

[OpiumMuseum]

Nothing is said about a transvestite in Thai but instead they make a pun on the word "phi khanun", or jackfruit ghost, which is slang for a cheap streetwalking prostitute. In the old days there were a lot of cheap hookers along one street in Bangkok that had a row of jackfruit trees -- behind which the hookers hid from the police. That's why people started calling the hookers there "jackfruit ghosts". Today it means any streetwalking prostitute.

[grodaSA]

Thanks for the translation!

[arandia]

If he said, "That's a man." that's even funnier.

[lampang3]

Thanks for the history on the "phi khanun "joke

I lived in Chiang Mai for many years and understanding Thai humour makes living in Thailand Sanook Sabai Chok Dee na Kaap!

[IanFinnesey]

Thanks, and thanks for demonstrating why it was subtitled the way it was. (sometimes the right way just won't fit.)

[OpiumMuseum]

That funny line where the father supposedly says "That's a transvestite" he's actually just saying "That's a person (not a ghost)".

Whoever added English subtitles took liberties to change the meanings -- which is often the case with Thai commercials and especially films that are subtitled in English.

[nazimtube]

awesome

[darkerjosh]

ok...

[averette]

I don't get it. So how does this say light is your friend? They are seeing all these ghosts in broad daylight.

[ASSEMblerEX]

moron

i wish we
