Oh look at us, we are so delightfully indie and quirky! Enjoy us frolicking in our secondhand store clothes as we shill for a multi-billion dollar car company!
OK, I’ll give Pomplamoose (WTF?) a little credit – having checked out some of their other covers they do have some good stuff. But damn these Hyundai commercials are irritating. Although I guess it beats watching those yuppie pukes put giant bows on their Lexuses (Lexi?).

That’s a cute young lady. She sings very well. Haters.
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.
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!
THANK YOU.
Does Hyundai intentionally try to have the worst Christmas commercials? The 2011 commercial is worse than last years!!!
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.
lol these people are single handedly killing hipster culture.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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! =)
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.
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.
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.
“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.
–”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.
That’s all?
That’s all?
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!
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.
I like the commercial. I think she’s cute.
I like the commercial. I think she’s cute.
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
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.
Cars are as crappy as this loser combo. Poor girl needs some exlax or perhaps some electoshock.
OMG, i want to puke, if they play it one more time!!!!
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 !!!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!!!!!!
It’s “GOUGE”……sheesh.
Nope, they are STILL showing it and I’m still cringing.
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
OMG I can’t agree morel She is so freakin annoying. I thought I was the only one who thought so.
she seriously needs a laxative or something
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.
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!
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.
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.
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…
Wow, dude….you squeezed racism, misogyny and homophobia into one post while celebrating serial murder. Way to go you epic loser.
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
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
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.
