Oh great another ladyboy thread. Thanks Subby.

Oh god, I don't care how contrived these commercials are, it's still so dusty... so dusty...

That's not Thai. I don't know for sure what language they are speaking, but it's not Thai.

Needed Tony Jaa in it.

Um...so, what am I supposed to take away from that commercial? That particular insurance doesn't cover physical therapy? That Asians still haven't adapted to using knives and forks? WHAT?

Donkey Hodie: That's not Thai. I don't know for sure what language they are speaking, but it's not Thai.


It's Cantonese. Like, from Hong Kong and stuff.

Bluemookie: That Asians still haven't adapted to using knives and forks? WHAT?


If it works, leave it be, dumbass.

Get back to your spork.

Man, I love these commercials for better safety harnesses at the workplace. I'm totally going down to Grainger right now to buy a new set. fark falling off a roof and being carried around by an angry Asian man the rest of my days.

Next to get me a face tattoo and find some of those loose women I keep hearing about.

GungFu: Donkey Hodie: That's not Thai. I don't know for sure what language they are speaking, but it's not Thai.

Maybe Taiwan. Some people get "Thai[land]" mixed up with "Tai[wan]" I guess.

I only knew it wasn't Thailand because I recognised some Chinese phrases. Oh, and they didn't look like Siamese.

Thanks. I was wondering what they hell it had to do with Thailand.

'Marry Me" is the most devastating of all those ads, imho.

Would be much more effective using The Phantom Menace voice over guy.

Nothing to do with Thailand except maybe the similarity of their ads, and I'm sure this is where subby arrived with his headline. The language spoken is Cantonese, like, again, from Hong Kong and stuff. The end writing 'Happy New Year' is in Mandarin Pinyin, however, so it's possible that it's from Taiwan, or even from China. But the language is 100% Cantonese.

Addendum: Erm, giving the English voice-over and company logo, and mad spoken Cantonese and Mandarin writing mix, it's most likely from a Western country.

Malaysia. That's where the company at the end is based. They also speak Cantonese there.

I lol'd.

Donkey Hodie: That's not Thai. I don't know for sure what language they are speaking, but it's not Thai.

It's Cantonese. Probably filmed in Hong Kong.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai" at the end? Spelt wrong but it means 'Happy new year' / 'Prosperous new year'.

That video made me want to vomit.

More Malaysians speak Mandarin than Cantonese.

/Speaks fluent Cantonese, Mandarin (and English!) to name but a few.

Yep, it's from Malaysia. Which makes sense since they have a large Chinese minority there (24%).

And BERNAS apparently has something to do with rice based on their website which explains why there is a lot of rice shown in the commercial.

"Another one of those touching Thai life insurance commercials. What a drag "

Oh ffs. You people are epic at missing the farking point.

for FARKS sakes! I was fine until it got to the flashback of the dad and his son as a toddler, then I had to turn it off because I knew my girlfriend would be home soon and I was not doing well.

I think that video gave me diabetes.

The "induce my baby before his dad croaks in the room next door" spot is, I think the best of these, it pushes every button masterfully and you realize that, intellectually, as you're watching it, but for all of the crass manipulation, if it still doesn't stir some reaction in your soul, there may be something wrong with your human empathy glands.

The next video (Traffic Cop Hit By Truck) was more fun.

I know it's a poor country and all, but aren't wheelchairs cheaper and easier to manage than old men dragging around paraplegics?

jesus, are these commercials trying to make consumers cry? Just rip my heart out why don't ya?

BHK: I know it's a poor country and all, but aren't wheelchairs cheaper and easier to manage than old men dragging around paraplegics?

I thought, "Is that what passes for rehabilitation there?'
