this one was horrible

Guest June 22, 2014 at 10:43 am

thank you for hating this with me!

AB January 7, 2012 at 1:26 pm

That’s a cute young lady. She sings very well. Haters.

ohgreatouija December 29, 2011 at 11:41 pm

Ugly grl w/ giant teeth wht gtr makes me wretch. wll ne-ver buy hyundai. They are perpretuating her now. Never, never never buy hyundai.

Jeff December 24, 2011 at 5:56 pm

That girls is SO tone deaf, I run for the mute switch every time I hear her screeching.

I SURE won’t buy a Hyundai for a long while after hearing that!

Walter Hollas December 19, 2011 at 6:17 pm

THANK YOU.

Vince van delay December 15, 2011 at 12:31 am

Does Hyundai intentionally try to have the worst Christmas commercials? The 2011 commercial is worse than last years!!!

cynthia christian November 10, 2011 at 11:47 am

If you have pets at home the Hyundai Sonata commercial Battery Included will drive your pets crazy. They think the smoke detector is going off. Please these commercials are not cute.

Tuckajj January 19, 2011 at 5:59 pm

lol these people are single handedly killing hipster culture.

Canadianpineapple257 January 17, 2011 at 4:03 pm

The girl looks like she wuld have just about as much personality as a smushed cardboard box that has been used to mail something so many times that it is held together only by the packing tape that holds on the mailing label. The only thing that makes it worse is the people who think she is cute. EW And the time lapse skip-y way they filmed this hurts my head. im over hear singing, jump to a guy playing a tiny xylophone (?) skip to me singing, skip to us fighting over who gets in the car first im not looking at you im looking an inch over your shoulder now im facing the other way… still not looking at you… reading about it has revived my hatred of it and now i am feeling hostile

TNails January 8, 2011 at 9:30 pm

When I see this commercial, I get aggressive and want smack guy around and rip the girls vocals out. Other than that I like Hyundais.

Lizziee January 4, 2011 at 7:34 am

Lol @ the posts! I actually think these are the kids of the Hyundai CEO. They still live at home and this was his attempt to have music producers ‘discover’ them do the irritating twits would make it rich, move out and the CEO could finally live happily ever after in PEACE!!! Rule of thumb….. If the commercial is stupid and useless, So is the product.

Yvonnella January 4, 2011 at 5:14 am

I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL! That girl is soooooo CUTE!! I’ve watched it over and over. The song is catchy and the they’re just having fun. I hope to see a lot more of Miss Adorable, that’s all I can say.

Vintage13 January 3, 2011 at 9:50 pm

I am hoping that since this Hyundai promotion ends Jan 3rd that today is the last time I will have this annoying commercial invade my airspace. The half-dead space cadet girl and the Jim Carrey wannabe guy have made me scream on several occasions, alarming those around me. Hyundai must be making tons of money off their fiberglass suicide machines since this garbage plays ALL THE TIME. I would walk everywhere the rest of my life if Hyundai was the only car on Earth.

Big Al January 3, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Hey, I like the woman in this commercial. She IS cute! I didn’t know what they were advertising and had to make a concerted effort to pay attention so I could google it. I heard on one the cable financial shows how it had made it on the “worst advertising” list. At first I thought it was just a local spot. Anyone know the girl’s name?

WestSider January 3, 2011 at 4:10 pm

Al, I think the duo in the commercial is the actual band that does the song, called Pomplamoose. I don’t even think they have any albums or singles out. They are a youtube sensation. I think there is a third guy in the group not in the commercials. Their youtube videos are oven odder than the ad. And the gal sings in that same oddly unemotional way.

As for her looks, we all have our tastes! =)

Fcparmalat January 3, 2011 at 3:24 pm

All i wanted to do was watch an NFL football game….and now after the 40,000 time of seeing this commerical I have gouged out my eyes and perferated my ear drums.

WestSider January 3, 2011 at 8:40 am

First let me say thank you all.

I’ve gotten a ton of laughs reading these comments, mostly because I realize there are a lot of people out in the world who agree with me, and share my frustration of not being able to truly pinpoint my deep hatred of this ad. It’s so just completely horrible it truly does defy explanation. I knew I wasn’t nuts!

I too do not make a habit of googling commercials, but after seeing it for the billionth time at 3 AM this morning I just had to find out if there were others out there, like me, who wanted to kill themselves every time this came on, so I googled “annoying Hyundai Sonata commercial” and here I landed.

One thing I can’t believe no one pointed out is the fact that, especially in the close up shots, it’s really hard, and took me a few weeks, to tell if the person singing is a woman or a young boy. This is probably mostly due to the fact that each time upon hearing that grating song I would immediately turn my head from watching it before seeing a later shot that included her body. You folks calling her cute, well, no comment.

I’m white and these folks are too white for me.

They need to do us all a favor and go back to Williamsburgh and never get back on the L Train again. They’re terrible human beings, and that guy, oh lord what an unmitigated, unkempt, dork!

Shave asshole.

Gadfly January 3, 2011 at 1:39 pm

Okay, you don’t like the commercial, but “they’re terrible human beings?” Give me a break. That is either rediculous hyperbole– and by association your whole comment is too– or you have the screwiest sense of ethics I have ever seen. By the way, “too white”? What a weird and meaningless comment. I am betting that you would not post on any site anywhere that someone was too black or too asian. I think you need to get some perspective and over yourself. You might be under the delusion that because other people do not like the commercial that your opinion carries the weight of actual truth.

I like the commercial. It is catchy and fun, and if you don’t watch a lot of mind numbing television in the first place you won’t find it annoyingly repetitive.

WestSider January 3, 2011 at 3:51 pm

“Okay, you don’t like the commercial, but “they’re terrible human beings?” Give me a break. That is either rediculous hyperbole-”

Oh, you figured that part out, huh?

“By the way, “too white”? What a weird and meaningless comment. I am betting that you would not post on any site anywhere that someone was too black or too asian.”

No I wouldn’t, because I’m white. It’s a joke. Self deprecation is a useful tool in humor. You haven’t seen a lot of standup have you? Spare me the predictable comment on how it wasn’t funny. It’s already abundantly clear you’re not thrilled.

“You might be under the delusion that because other people do not like the commercial that your opinion carries the weight of actual truth.”

There is no “truth” about whether or not this ad is a good one. It’s just subjective opinion, and I’d wager a blog post on a specific commercial being incredibly annoying followed by dozens of comments, arrived on primarily by search engine, is somewhat rare. People actively sought out others who may have felt the same way, and then shared that fact with each other. It obviously rubs many folks the wrong way. There’s no harm in you having a differing perspective. I won’t judge you for it. I just can’t say the same for your approach to me.

“I like the commercial. It is catchy and fun, and if you don’t watch a lot of mind numbing television in the first place you won’t find it annoyingly repetitive.”

We disagree on the commercial, but your assumptions of how much or what type of television I watch only serve to invalidate all your self righteous, judgmental ranting on anything of mine you responded to in the first place.

Gadfly January 3, 2011 at 4:25 pm

–“Okay, you don’t like the commercial, but “they’re terrible human beings?” Give me a break. That is either rediculous hyperbole-”

Oh, you figured that part out, huh?–

Good, I am glad that we both agree you are being ridiculous.

I only took the same tone with you that you took with the commercial.
In fact I think I was nicer.

–I watch only serve to invalidate all your self righteous, judgmental ranting on anything of mine you responded to in the first place.–

Emphasis on –self righteous, judgmental ranting —

I love irony. That is rich. Thanks.

WestSider January 3, 2011 at 4:43 pm

That’s all?

Gadfly January 3, 2011 at 5:20 pm

Can I help it if deconstructing your post took only a few words?
When a job is done, it is done.

WestSider January 5, 2011 at 4:02 am

Like your job with Hyundai?

Gadfly January 5, 2011 at 5:18 pm

Yeah, sure, whatever.

WestSider January 3, 2011 at 4:43 pm

That’s all?

Doza March 5, 2011 at 10:26 pm

Yeah….uhhh….you don’t get to use cool words like “hyperbole” after misspelling “ridiculous”. In doing so you reveal yourself as just another pretentious hipster doofus. I really like the commercial and I think the girl is cute but can’t abide ill-executed debate technique. If you can’t spell, try entering your responses in a Spell Check document and then pasting here. Cheers!

Dale January 3, 2011 at 3:47 am

This commercial is pathetic. It would be made much better if the girl was in her birthday suit and the guy was being gangraped by a group of chimps.

Deputy Dawg January 3, 2011 at 2:59 am

I like the commercial. I think she’s cute.

Deputy Dawg January 3, 2011 at 2:59 am

I like the commercial. I think she’s cute.

Tom Shuler January 3, 2011 at 2:30 am

This is by far the worst commercial ever made in the world!!! I would throw my droid at break the tv if it wasnt so much

Blake N January 3, 2011 at 2:28 am

I am actually suing Hyundai for emotional distress as my 2 year old golden lab Ziggy leaped from our fourth story apartment window during the “jingle bells” rendition. God rest his soul and may the producer burn in hell.

Nick January 3, 2011 at 12:57 am

Cars are as crappy as this loser combo. Poor girl needs some exlax or perhaps some electoshock.

Tomi January 3, 2011 at 2:01 am

OMG, i want to puke, if they play it one more time!!!!

John in California January 2, 2011 at 3:42 pm

I hate how America is going ga-ga for Korean cars while American companies and employees are losing their jobs and homes.

On the other hand, the jingle is good and the girl is a stone cold fox. Either the male vote is gay and the female vote are haters or you need a bigger TV. She is hot with that sexy beauty mark like Honey West and her sexy painted lips. Yowl !!!

lara January 2, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Good Lord, please make it stop!!!! It’s 2 Jan, time to take this one off the air, please. That awful voice… I have to turn the channel when they come on.

Bebu1977 January 2, 2011 at 6:55 pm

OMG I H-A-T-E this commercial! I want to punch the broad in the face and punch the dude in the vagina. Get this ISH off my TV!

buns January 3, 2011 at 12:37 am

Christmas is over… why oh why won’t they go away already… really so terribly annoying is her spritely impish little voice and her silent beardy beau…just “why?” :-(
… oh and I found this page by typing in “who sings that annoying song for hyundai sonota” I’m so glad that we’re not the only ones who feel this way!

Punch Hyundaihipsterinface January 2, 2011 at 6:33 am

They have a new commercial with these snicklefritzs singing and prancing about. Please, will someone punch the guy in the face from these Hyundai ads. At least spray him in the face with mace, thats all I ask.

Srvsbabe January 2, 2011 at 4:02 am

This is a stupid commercial… it gets on my nerves and I wish they’d pull the damned thing from the air waves… I’d rather gauge my eyeballs out with my own thumbs than have to watch this dumb assed commercial again…. give it a break and take it off PLEASE!!!!!!

Doza March 5, 2011 at 10:28 pm

It’s “GOUGE”……sheesh.

maryanne January 1, 2011 at 8:20 pm

Nope, they are STILL showing it and I’m still cringing.

Bubblitos January 1, 2011 at 11:23 pm

I think what’s so annoying about these GOD AWFUL FREAKING COMMERCIALS is the way the chick singing is constantly staring directly into the camera, or she’s giving you the sly side eye look. Either way, it’s 6:22 on New Years evening, CHRISTMAS IS OVER, PLEASE STOP SHOWING THIS STUPID COMMERCIAL. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg

Lisa962 January 2, 2011 at 1:20 am

OMG I can’t agree morel She is so freakin annoying. I thought I was the only one who thought so.

tomi January 3, 2011 at 2:02 am

she seriously needs a laxative or something

Jason January 1, 2011 at 5:27 pm

Thanks Hyundai. You and your stupid advertising team have pounded “Up on a House Top” into oblivion. Which Christmas song are you going to murder next year? Please let it be “Simply having a Wonderful Christmas Time”. But even if you murder that awful song, I’ll still never forgive you for this horrible commercial.

Oh, and by the way, I read some comments saying that we should get over it because it is “only a 30 second ad.” But when you have to watch a 30 second ad 60,000 times, the urge to kill ones self mounts.

Susan January 1, 2011 at 10:28 pm

I can’t explain my dislike for these ads but I was glad that upon searching for “annoying Hyundai ads” I found this site. I think I could tolerate the ads were they not relentlessly shown on every channel!

oldladynonhipster January 1, 2011 at 4:39 am

I don’t know what made me come here… I was mysteriously drawn to find some explanation for the depth of my hatred of this commercial. Thanks for all the snappy explanations I can pretend I thought of.

Joe December 31, 2010 at 11:49 pm

Dear Lord… How I would rather have genital herpes than see this commercial again. I think I am happier that 2010 is ending which means this commercial should end soon as well.

Dexter Morgan January 1, 2011 at 3:37 am

Wow! I am not alone. I think that people are not against the Christmas song, so much as the annoying way it is sung. I thought I was the only one who wanted to kick that guy in the nuts. Not to be down on white chicks, but she just gives white women a “dumb image.” I know white women are better than that. The whole thing seems way gay! If I were Dexter I would have to take them both for a “boat ride.” Oh wait, I am out of tranquilizer…

Doza March 5, 2011 at 10:35 pm

Wow, dude….you squeezed racism, misogyny and homophobia into one post while celebrating serial murder. Way to go you epic loser.

Ninjaplease49 December 31, 2010 at 10:56 pm

i searched google to see who else hated this x]
i guess hipster is now mainstream :D
you can say good bye to hipsters ! haha

Adam December 31, 2010 at 3:25 pm

So glad to see I’m not alone in my unabashed contempt for this commercial and performers. What makes it worse is that Christmas is over and they are still running the spot, a lot. I think they are fucking with us on purpose. Paula Abdul looks more genuine in her perptual semi-conscious state. Ugh

Jason December 31, 2010 at 2:09 pm

I am a 32 year old male and these Hyundai holiday ads make me want to die. I don’t want to live in a world where something so annoying is supposed to appeal to me. And the funny thing is, just before this campaign started, I was starting to like Hyundai and was even considering purchasing one. I will never drive one now. They have entered my blacklist just like Quiznos did after the screaming fuzz-ball commercials.

HateHyundaiguycommercial December 31, 2010 at 7:53 am

Its so funny that I also googled my hatred for this commercial. I dont hate the girl so much, but I really, really hate the guy prancing around the commercial. I just want to punch him in the face so much and I really cant explain why. I bought a Hyundai Accent about 8 years ago brand new for $6995 and it was a great car with no problems, but I hate this commercial and want to punch that guy in the face. Take it off the air Hyundai!!!!!!

raquel December 31, 2010 at 5:18 am

Bet you Michael Cera loves them, along with all the other twee little dorks.

hates Hyundai commercial December 31, 2010 at 3:03 am

I change the channel everytime this commercial comes on. It is so irritating I will never purchase a Hyundai after this assault on my ears and eyes. I also will never ride in one, or associate with anyone who owns a Hyundai and therefore supports this abomination.

Jennay December 30, 2010 at 5:19 pm

God so glad I found this site and my fellow hyundai commercial hatres.
Chick can’t sing. Looks like a dude. I don’t even realize they’re trying to sell me s car cuz I’m so irritated with that fugly chicks voice. I can go on and on about this commercial but I won’t. I just want this holiday season to be over so I’ll never have to see that poor excuse for a girl OR hear her sing =D
Hyundai, FAIL!

coochaphonic December 30, 2010 at 11:58 pm

I just find it pretentious and insincere (which is one of the origins of irony). I would have tolerated it more possibly Hyundai creative hired people who were either genuinely amusing or likable not to mention the fact that this commercial has aired more times than I can say “somebody turn the f’in sound down and why is that guy acting like an f’in d-bag” every 5 minutes for 24 hours.

On second thought, I feel sorry for that hipster dude who is probably honoring that age-old art of acting like a p-whipped fool hoping to get some.

ohnomrbill December 30, 2010 at 11:11 pm

As commercials go, I think this series is pretty catchy (and humorous in an offbeat sort of way) and actally brought a smile to my face whenever I heard the jingle start. And I actually remembered what product they were advertising…so I’d bet Hyundai thinks it got it’s money’s worth. But more to the point, I think the girl’s kind of cute! So “benjamin80”, take a swing if you’d like…I’m sticking my chin out just for you!

Thoroughly Annoyed December 29, 2010 at 6:37 am

Has to be the worst commercial EVER. So annoying in too many ways to mention. I want to gouge my eye balls out and plug my ears with them, when this commercial comes on. Hate it with a passion. Way to strongly alienate half the population, Hyundai.

Annoyed and dont know why December 30, 2010 at 10:01 pm

All of you make me feel much better about being so annoyed about this ad…It’s really odd how it gets to you and I thought I was just weird untill I searched the internet to find out what petuli oli smelling band had commited the ultimate expression of hypocracy ….I think the most annoying thing is that these two probably pride themselves in being so above it all when in fact they both just received a giant check from one of the largest and most profitable auto manufacturers. I’m definately not against capitalism (at all) but I do become disgusted when so called independant groups are ok with blatantly selling out. The best is the clip when they both have Hyundai sweat shirts on. I guess we might be able to look forward to seeing all the unshowered coffee shop patrons of Brooklyn to be turning in their Ramones T-shirts forthe Hyundai hoody sweatshirts….perhaps they will sell them at Hot-topic another icon of hypocracy??

Scottm December 29, 2010 at 2:48 am

Don’t know who the marketing company is behind these pointless and uninspiring commercials, but if they worked for my company, they would have been fired long ago.

truthsaer December 29, 2010 at 1:06 am

Will no one rid us of this tiresome tripe?
Hipster? She looks mentally challenged. Now it’s hip to look clueless with a single digit IQ?

Chrissy from BK December 31, 2010 at 7:57 am

OMG…I thought I was the only one that thought she looked a little “slow”. Thank goodness for Google search now I can feel better about wanting to jump through the television and smack that woman (the dizzy guy too!).

Bigdaddy December 28, 2010 at 3:58 am

Sometime shortly after thanksgiving I noted a new trend rising in advertising, THE HOLIDAY HIPSTER. The message seems to be “oh, get over yourself. You can still be cool and ironic and celebrate the holidays” but there is something more insidious, the actual message is “you can still be cool, young, ironic and BUY OUR SHIT! ” I first noted this sickening trend shortly after a miserable piece of overcelebrated film, the insufferable Juno, hit the scene. We were then subjected to 2 years of shrill, cutesy voiced Kimya Dawsonesque chanteuses trying to sell us. Now this! MAKE IT STOP

Blowindonuts December 28, 2010 at 6:08 am

I’m not one to hate, but shit almighty, I want to cut my ears off and poke my eyes out when I see/hear that commercial. The two carefree, super awesome, merrily frolicking hipsters drive me nuts. I just puked in my mouth. Untalented egomaniacs are untalented, obvious, and oblivious. Whoa, oops, I mean they’re really cool. Just look at their sweet hair, duds, and carefree attitude…they know how to josh around! Good thing they don’t take themselves too seriously, pass judgment or worry about whats cool.

SuckitHyundai January 8, 2011 at 7:36 pm

“The message seems to be “oh, get over yourself. You can still be cool and ironic and celebrate the holidays” but there is something more insidious, the actual message is “you can still be cool, young, ironic and BUY OUR SHIT! ”

I totally agree – This is exactly the supposed and actual subtext of this commercial:

If you asked “Pomplamoose” the name of the musical act (I googled it) comprised of these two wannabe hipster types they would say the first explanation: “we don’t take ourselves too seriously etc.”. ad nauseum

And if you asked the roomful of soulless marketing people at hyundai who put this awful add campaign together they would tell you the second explanation. “aimed to appeal to the 18-35 college educated predominately caucasian, self-identified as ‘metropolitan’ and ‘culturally sophisticated’, ” or some similarly sanitized cryptic market-speak version of “idiots to buy our shit”.

“I first noted this sickening trend shortly after a miserable piece of overcelebrated film, the insufferable Juno, hit the scene. We were then subjected to 2 years of shrill, cutesy voiced Kimya Dawsonesque chanteuses trying to sell us.”

Yep, totally – It all started with Juno and the awful mush mouthed indie rock singing style all over the soundtrack that has been thoroughly played-out for years before that movie came out and was terrible to begin with. It’s been increasingly seeping into commercials all over the place since then and it makes me cringe every time I hear it.

TwoM's December 28, 2010 at 3:55 am

Congratulations, Hyundai. I will never buy one of your cars for as long as I live.

Redspider December 28, 2010 at 12:55 am

I had an anxiety attack one of the many times this commercial was on. They represent everything that annoys me from those L train riding Brooklyn Hipsters . I’m just glad I’m not alone in this.

BROHIRAM December 27, 2010 at 9:20 pm

I absolutely hate every second of these two cutesy, moronic, post-grunge Brooklyn hipsters.

Jopa December 27, 2010 at 5:01 pm

I don’t hate the commercial, but it is a bit irritating. I like the songs. The girl is cute and the guy is scuzzy. Funny how there is a car in the house and they throw two people in there to think of a jingle. I find it funny how the people who are getting on the people who hate this commercial. This is a cool little blog to vent and yet these other people are spending just as much time with their 2 cents. Happy Holidays!

Mjc665 December 27, 2010 at 5:14 am

I hate this commercial so much I can’t stand it. I want to hit that stupid girl (you know she does not groom if you know what I mean). Hate the way the song is presented, hate her and I’m so glad to find other like minded haters. I, too, thought, yeah right and you’ll then get your cordory crotch and shell out the $ one of those cars costs – right.

Joemosberger December 27, 2010 at 1:03 am

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!! For everyone that says you “Hate” this commercial (I couldn’t agree with you more) but something about it other than “hate” drove us to search for it in our browser. Funny enough I searcherd quirky girl and guy christmas commercial and came across this post. We are all a stupid culture! Need to worry about something other than this advertisement. Maybe get a grasp on our economy and eliminate all of the heads in our gov’t while eliminating our fed! Perhaps someone should comment on our slave system called money. :) CHEERS!

BK without hippies December 31, 2010 at 8:01 am

I searched “I hate that stupid hyundai commercial” and viola! Here I am!! LOL

Boatyug December 26, 2010 at 6:40 pm

I have hated this stinking commercial since the first second I saw it..I think what bothers me most is the stop action herky jerky editing as well as the guy who blows a handful of snow with that look of surprise that I’d like to punch off of his face…
Also, all this talk of “ironic”…these actors arent ironic…they are fools who’s clothing is two sizes too small.

Andrewsells December 26, 2010 at 5:22 pm

i have found salvation in 99% of your posts. worst ad ever. drives me fucking nuts. i hate these people so much it doesn’t even make sense. thank you all for sharing. i ventured into google to find you people and i am happy amongst my brethren.

TJINX December 26, 2010 at 5:05 am

Man we’re an angry culture. As well as overly opinionated. It’s just a friggin 30 second ad. Can’t wait to hear that Geico piggy wee wee all the way home again!

Digid December 25, 2010 at 11:56 am

Welcome to just another mainstream sub-culture, go sit next to grunge he’s been lonely since kirt’s murder… I always enjoyed having ironic, artistic weridos to hang around i found the crowd highly entertaining, but now that i’ve seen this commercial i hate all who think their sub-culture is anymore unique than retarded emo children.

drspaceman December 24, 2010 at 6:23 pm

I don’t hate this commercial, just the guy in it prancing around like an asshole. I do understand the hate others feel for this commercial because this is how I feel about all sappy, sickeningly sweet diamond commercials. You don’t truly love your wife or girlfriend unless you buy her something with diamonds.

Jcheen December 23, 2010 at 6:09 pm

I hate the commercial because of the chick. She has a bland voice, out of shape hips and a possible fupa. They make grey seem bright. I bet the marketing people at hyundai look exactly like these people. They are typical corporate yuppies under the guise of looking hipster. Who is this supposed to appeal to?

Charyutree December 23, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Totally hate to love, or love to hate this commercial. Mostly I dont like the fact that it’s a car commercial, but I love the way it gets under peoples skin.

Rick_tulio December 23, 2010 at 7:22 am

I don’t know why I hate it…. I just fuckin’ hate it!!

Fuku December 23, 2010 at 1:12 am

OMFG….get a life! It’s a god damned TELEVISION COMMERCIAL with a hot guy and hot girl. You are all pathetic losers.

Kavalon December 24, 2010 at 1:03 am

You have no taste.

Anonymous December 24, 2010 at 5:32 am

but you went out of your way to post this on a page called ‘commercials i hate’, so you’re not much of a winner yourself.

fukOFF January 2, 2011 at 7:49 pm

Why are you posting on this page in the first place then? Looks like YOU are the pathetic loser who needs a life because YOU are the one who is on here to start bickering and nonsense. We’re all on here to agree with each other you retard. GO AWAY IF YOU DON’T AGREE.

Cabfrancophile December 22, 2010 at 6:32 pm

You know, I kind of like the commercial. Yes, I recognize these are hipsters. No, I am not a hipster. Yes, hipsters and their ironic love of things such as Pabst Blue Ribbon are annoying. I don’t know why or how, but I like this. I guess it doesn’t hurt there’s a cute woman singing an X-mas song in a format that won’t get stuck in my head.

Then again, my standards have been set pretty low for holiday ads. As you said, “I guess it beats watching those yuppie pukes put giant bows on their Lexuses (Lexi?).” I’d rather watch a cute, yet pretentious couple than some d-bag buy a diamond or a car to apologize to his fiance for banging her best friend.

grayflannelsuit December 22, 2010 at 6:41 pm

To be certain, those Lexus commercials are the gold standard of obnoxious holiday ads. It’s also a pretty lousy Christmas present when you think about it – unless the wife let her husband know that she wanted that model with that color and all those specific features, it’s more of a power play than a present.

Add me to the list of people who HATE this commercial! they remind me of the hipsters I run into in the city, always trying to be so quirky and ironic, but they’re just annoying! Indie music is usually way too referential and literary for the sake of being literary. Apparently hipsters don’t just suck at making indie rock, they also suck at making mainstream jingles.

Man, you folks are a little more upset than is normal. If you don’t like it, use your mute button or change the channel – that’s what remote controls are for. The song and the way it is sung is just another in a long line of variations, so love it, hate it or put up with it but above all just chill. By the way, she is a cutie.

I’m glad I’m not alone in my hatred of this commercial. Whenever it comes on, I lunge for the remote to quickly mute it. I can’t stand the breathy, monotone style of singing that seems to be popular among the hipster set.

Jade December 21, 2010 at 4:26 am

God it makes me want to return the hyundai i bought 4 months ago !!! They actually make me hate my car now!!!!!! They lost a lot of business for them self this year !! WTF were they thinking.. I actually get aggravated when this comes on…lol… was that their plan… ???? im looking for a new car !!!!!!

Keenan41 December 21, 2010 at 3:35 am

I’m so glad there are so many other people that hate these ASS CLOWNS!

marc December 21, 2010 at 2:47 am

YES!!!!! Fuck all the hipsters… I’m so glad other people hate this ad as much as I do

Cherry82 December 20, 2010 at 10:31 pm

I HATE this commercial. Does the woman ever BLINK?

Jenn January 2, 2011 at 7:51 pm

That’s what I can’t stand the most – the blank glassy eyed stare all the time! LOL!

blue December 20, 2010 at 9:47 pm

You summed up my feelings beautifully. I hate this commercial so much that I actually took the time to research who they are and ran into your site.

JFranco December 24, 2010 at 3:27 am

Wow. I have found my soul mates here. I have never in my life researched a commercial to see if there is anyone else out there in the world who hates it as much as me. I feel like we are the band of people who saw UFO’s and are heading to Devil’s Tower in “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” It is not the fact that these people are “Hipsters” that bothers me — I live in a Big City and see this type every second of every day — it is that the commercial is so damn stupid and makes no sense for a car commercial. It is literally a girl singing into a microphone looking off to the right (like Taylor Swift) and a guy wearing a scarf and hat inside a studio shaking jingle bells and hopping around in a circle. WTF is that? I just simply don’t understand the process by which the advertising agency billed Hyundai $500,000 for this ad campaign (or more) and presented this concept to Hyundai and they responded “We love it.” How did this happen? And how can we as a society prevent it from ever happening again?

JFranco December 24, 2010 at 3:30 am

By the way, I forgot to add that my eight year old son and five year old daughter hate it also and scream every time it comes on (unsolicited by me). My five year old daughter has actually turned around to me and asked “Dad, why does this commercial make no sense?”

Jlowen December 26, 2010 at 8:28 pm

I’m with you. I have never researched a commercial either, but I hate this one soooo much, I had to fine out if anyone else feels my pain.

Heinocity December 20, 2010 at 9:36 pm

if anyone is interested in joining a class action lawsuit, I will be filing one against Hyundai. Soon after watching these HORRIBLE commercials, I have now come down with eye and ear cancer. Being that these developed minutes after these two hipster douche bags polluted my television, I cannot see how a judge will not find in my favor. I have also gone to a gastrointestinal doctor to get a consultation on the fact that I have also been throwing up and shitting since witnessing these dreadful commercials.

kookie December 20, 2010 at 9:27 pm

I can’t believe it! My boyfriend hates this commercial so much, that he researches it and forwards me proof that he is not alone with his disgust. He even played it back yesterday to show me the parts he hates most.
Well I agree… it is a real stupid commercial, with terrible wannabes.

My2girls28 December 20, 2010 at 11:38 am

I find it hilarious that we hate this commercial so much we write about it. LOL! I have never been annoyed by a commercial but I hate this one. I hate her bangs, her voice, her cothes and her acting. If I ever seen her in person Id probably punch her. :)

jrguitar311 December 19, 2010 at 9:54 pm

Hey guys this is just an ad on tv don’t we have more pressing things to worry about? What is a hipster anyway, would your parents have called you a “hipster/ hippy/ general douche” there day? I just think the girl sings well and its a decent holiday cover.

Nemesis December 20, 2010 at 4:19 am

I think that she is hot. Ditch the dude.

aloemint December 20, 2010 at 3:29 am

I thought I was the only one that changed the station when that IRRITATING Hyundai commercial is on.

rocknroll1969 December 20, 2010 at 2:59 am

Fully agree with you. I change the channel immediately every time this awful commercial comes on. The female’s vocals are so dull and emotionless. It’s an insult to music and all real musicians. If I never hear her sing again, I will live a happy life. I will never buy a Hyundai because of this commercial.

blake December 19, 2010 at 7:54 pm

I guarantee that all of you that hate this commercial hate it because you all believe that you’re more hipster than everyone and that they sold out some how. Pretentious posers… I’ve never seen a subculture of people that goes to such great lengths to prove how different you are yet you all dress, talk, and act the same. If you you non-prescription eyeglasses (and you know you do) you’re an idiot. Get some originality and be yourself.

fred jester December 19, 2010 at 7:22 pm

That girl is the weirdest looking creature I’ve ever seen. The eyes, nose, legs, voice, what is wrong with her!? I thought I was the only one too. She is definately going to make sales drop for hyundai!

Zelig504 December 20, 2010 at 1:36 am

Just curious how one can determine when one is being hip, ironic or real these days…

Rk3406 December 19, 2010 at 12:19 pm

Man I am glad that I am not the only one that hates this commercial. I can’t say anymore as benjamin80 beat me to it.

marceau7182 December 18, 2010 at 8:28 pm

Yes! I am so glad that I found this site. I cringe when this commercial comes on. Who in the heck thinks this was a great?! And that she can sing? And stop with the camera tricks to make it look “cool”—it’s not working. I wouldn’t consider a Hyundai before. Now? I feel like egging the dealership when I ride by. Their advertising/media team cannot be proud.

Nhpm900 December 18, 2010 at 4:33 am

Thank you! I thought I was the only one. I want to fling something at the tv every time it comes on. And the girl who sings? I want to cut her bangs up to her scalp while she’s asleep, lol!

benjamin80 December 17, 2010 at 11:22 pm

Holy hell I can’t stand this commercial. I don’t know what’s worse: the jerkoff “indie” loser who probably only eats vegan bean sprouts or the female singer in her ugly scarf. I want to punch the Hyundai head creative who approved this piece of garbage. Even more, I want to punch in the face anyone who this commercial actually appeals to. Maybe this rubs me the wrong way because I actually know hipsters who would probably adopt the same “ironic” approach to mocking holiday festivity in this manner. God I hate this. So much. Maybe once hipsterism is mainstream hipsters will stop trying to be hipsters and just be themselves – regular weirdos.

Workingirl212 December 17, 2010 at 3:31 pm

Thank you! Couldn’t have said it better myself. This commercial is definitely on the top of my list of most annoying commercials ever! I cringe every time it comes on!
