Hankook Tires (Joke) Ad

Ah, yes: It's Hankook Tires! And what does that name make me think of? Why, it's Mr. Han, from Enter the Dragon! He was a real kook! (Plus, the Hankook Tires logo looks like one of those pronged hooks Mr. Han wears as a hand.) So for fun, and to get everyone to easily remember their name, I would make an ad from edited footage from Enter the Dragon, with Mr. Han fighting everybody and kicking ass. And what would be even more fun would be to show Jim Kelly saying: "Bullsh!t, Mr. Han man!", and overdub the phrase: "Cool tires, Mr. Han kook!" And then the announcer could say: "Hankook Tires: They really kick ass!" And then they could show footage from Enter the Dragon of Mr. Han beating different characters up, and then slicing into Bruce Lee with those hand blades. (And, just for extra fun, some Mr. Han stand-in could take the blades off his arm, and put on a spinning car wheel with a Hankook tire on it, and he could fight by burning rubber on someone's face!) And then, get a guy who looks like Mr. Han to get into some super sports car and drive away squealing rubber. (Now seriously, would you ever forget the name "Hankook" after seeing this ad?)

Here's the Jim Kelly quote:
