That's why they have no COVID. COVID didn't know it was there.
And it finally came from a British person.
😆
THEY KNEW
That's true
Dont worry its baaaaacck
The fact that our actual prime minister is in this
………. shows she's not getting on with her real job.
why is she "somewhere in London" ? Shouldn't she be in Wellington?
She's brilliant. As a Englishman im jealous, to say the least.
@@GreRe9 love the day and age where you can stick the words england infront of someone and people blindly agreeing that must be where they are, not like it was shot in wellington and the editor just added england to make the ad more dramatic.
@@GreRe9 I think that's part of the "NZ off the maps" joke. But the background is clearly the Prime Minister's office in the Beehive, it's the same background as her official work videos. :)
I'm a New Zealander and I'm proud of my country, or at least I would be if I could find it.
Damn, it has to be around here somewhere...
So where are you now :v
Sit still for a moment and it will shake a bit to let you know where it is.
The Timberjack Sorry, I’ve gotten rid of your country. The price is telling Australia how you keep beating us at rugby
Have you checked between the pillows on your national couch? We keep losing Prince Edward island that way.
TheCanadiangirl4 damn. I’ll keep an eye out for the Prince Edward Island
New Zealand cannot be found on this map because it actually exists in Middle Earth.
I saw a 3-part documentary on it during 2001-2003 called "The Lord of the Rings". Highly recommended. Very eye-opening.
This is a genuinely funny and underrated comment...
Yes the eye is opening there
I see.. you... (and what you did there)
So Australia is the Undying Lands?
As an Australian I can confirm it's us stealing your tourists. But really you should have already expected that. I mean we are a country descended from convicts and already have a history of claiming Kiwi stuff as ours.
Well our tourists will be sure to visit australia anytime considering comrade cindys govt has introduced a tourist tax upon visitors....way to kill a countrys vital industry ms ardern you wicked evil witch.
Pan Kid
They can keep Russell Crowe, though...
ROFL. .... I BLOODY KNEW IT!!!!! Pavlova, Pharlap, Crowded House ..... BLOODY THIEVING AUSSIES .... AAAAARGH!!!!
But wait, hang on ... my neighbours next door, those girls are from the Gold Coast ..... my God, smoking hot ...
You know what .... let's call it quits ... I'm good. Lol
Yeah we are too small for the big fish so we send them over to you. Russell Crow gave us a good laugh, if he stayed here he would have had to do decades of short films like Taika did. Crowded house still burns though
Beebo!
As a Tasmanian I sympathize considering we were left off half the maps that were shown, and that wasn't even part of the joke....
As a mainlander I have been deputised to inform you that Tasmania IS the joke.
@@petefluffy7420as another mainland Australian I can irrefutably confirm this to be completely factual.
the reason kiwis made this ad is because not of the map situation but because of people saying its not real
didn't Tasmania float off into the pacific?
Lol. “I’ve been searching the internet for the last 30 seconds” said virtually everyone on the internet with an opinion.
said the anti-science trolls*
Luving it, on point
This is the greatest Prime Minister I have seen in my life. She is kind, smart and she works hard for her own people and her county, you have all my respect, your Majesty.
Dentemax Australian Dental laboratory by letting in tons of immigrants
She's brilliant
And now they got rid of coronavirus
Logic genius what’s wrong with saying they got rid of coronavirus? Nothing, exactly
Logic genius you’re not even on topic, ur talking about ur own thing
Australia and New Zealand are the twin children of the drunk mom UK who keeps shouting and yelling at on again off again boyfriend EU. America is our crazy, older brother who left home early. Canada is the responsible sister who moved out to keep a watch on US. South Africa is the adopted brother who doesn't want much to do with us, but still will come over for a game of footy. Australia performs well at many things, but New Zealand is great at some things. New Zealand also got slightly better looks than AUS, but we both beat out the US.
Kieran Morris saying that the most prosperous country in the world is great at some things is a severe understatement
Canada needs a vacation. Have you seen what our older brother is up to lately? It's probably one of the reasons we've legalised pot.
This is oddly charming.
Aaah the colonial family explained at last. Now it all makes sense.
you idiot..nz is the family member tied up by chains in the basement and aus feeds them fishheads every night..south africa is the dog that sleeps outside and has fleas..england is the grandma...aus and canada could be the twins
New Zealand: *I don't feel so good...*
*kill this meme*
HAHAHAHA
i'm crying!!
Buenomars too soon 😢
I came here for feel good kiwi content and I feel attacked
I have been to New Zealand several times and I can confirm it is not there.
So it’s just a figment of our imagination?
@@cityhawk Or did you mean a fig leaf on your imaginary?
Where is it not, then ?
"Cindy... I mean Your Majesty..." - I love that bit!
Elizabeth: It is treason then...
Truly pukeworthy!
One question what happened to the indegenious population of America New Zealand and Australia why we see white faces why isn't the world concerned over this
I thought the video was hilarious but there is a serious side to it. A few New Zealanders have been detained overseas on the basis that there's no such country because the local world maps don't have New Zealand on them. BTW I am a Kiwi.
Miles Lacey you're kidding me, which countries would those be?
It happened in Kazakhstan. In an article on the Stuff website (which is a Fairfax news site in New Zealand) dated December 6th, 2016, it was reported that a New Zealander was detained in Kazakhstan because offiicals refused to accept that New Zealand was a country. According to the article: "Further complicating matters, the room she was interrogated in had a large map of the world tacked on the wall - but the map didn't include New Zealand."
Miles Lacey Kazakhstan....
caveman Versace kiwis are always negative about leaders. Tall poppy syndrome. We love to play devils advocate.
caveman Versace💪😂😂😂
"New Zealand, where the bloody hell are ya?" LOL
Only thing disappearing are your rights and freedoms.
Same reason all the Billionaires are building houses in NZ. If there is a nuclear war and we are not on the map...you get the picture. Do the same billionaries own the printing presses lol
alan smith bingo! They live in caves in the south of South Island
Having a bunch of psychotic child molesting satanists in your country isn't a good thing. Expect the number of disappearing children to start going up....
Tbh nz doesn't actually have alot of billionaires maybe just lord of the rings lol😂
getl0st word!
he means american billionaires building "holiday homes" in nz, really bolt-holes from when they finally make their own country unlivable
Well we just disappeared of the Covid-19 map, sooo.....
I’m Australian, and proud to call New Zealanders our best mates in the world.
We tease each other all the time, but we’ll always look after you in the toughest times.
In Asia,
China and India are two cousins, of which china is the richest one, and india the poor one.. Pakistan is the son of China who always yells for money..whereas, Vietnam is the adopted son who fights with his own dad.. Bangladesh and Pakistan are the twin brothers who have lost in a "kumbh ka mela".. Tibet is a lost country in china.Whereas Taiwan will be a lost country in China..Indonesia is the mother of two happy brothers, Malaysia and Thailand..
Singapore is the richest friend of all Asians.. North korea are the two separated brothers, one adopted by russia and the other adopted by america..
Japan is the Bashful techno friend of all Asians..Saudi and Iran are like friends in front of each other but fight with each other at back.(proxy wars)..
Edit:- It's a joke don't be angry and sorry if I have said anything wrong up above ..
Onya mate.......

WANKANDA FOREVA
I visited NZ about 15 years ago. When the immigration officer asked how I had heard about his country, I looked at him in wonder and said "You're on the map."
I think someone should start making stickers of nz that people can just stick on any map they come across that doesn't already have it on....if nothing else, it would be fun
genius
Yaa
Perhaps some for Tassie also.
I love how in some of those maps even Tasmania is missing - which is also a problem that people who make maps have done. We've even had Tasmania missing from Australian sports uniforms and publications for the Commonwealth and Olympic games in the past.
Nz ‘where the bloody hell are you’ loving the shade at Australia’s tourism ad
When your PM is a perfect brand ambassador for your country!! You don't need stars for tourism ads..💖
🤮
You’re delusional
@@DissTrackTed There's always one of you barely-literate, low-|Q right wing trolls.
We shot a lot of wild horses in the past and Still happens today
@@rocketassistedgoat1079 And there's always 100,000 of you gender confused, Don't hurt my feelings, keep grandma safe, Put a muzzle on my child, somebody call the manager, Ardern is not a Freemason, the government truly cares about it's slaves, tik tok watching zombies. I care not of your opinion sheep. Stay sleep :)
Every time I see Jacinder, I smile. Witty, gentle, tough as iron, humane, intelligent, cool. She removed guns from gunfondlers, restarted the nuclear reduction talks that trump trashed and saw a nation through a pandemic with almost no dead. You Kiwis have no idea how lucky you are.
I never fondle my guns,but I do often fondle my Silver coins and bars,much more satisfying.
True. A true leader
@Logic genius Did the virus experts say shes killed 130000 New zealanders?
Logic genius Dave Cullen is solid but simply directing people to watch him isn’t much of a point proven.
@Logic genius You going to precis the findings? I'm still in expectation. There's 10000 more dead since I asked.
“Checking the internet for the last thirty seconds”. Now, there’s someone who likes to dig deep, to have facts and figures ready, Someone who apparently appreciates deep research
We dont need to be on the map...Jacinda already put us there :D
When I hear Newzealand ,two people comes in my mind ,the Prime minister and Kane Williamson
For me it's the fantastic Jacinda and Wynton Rufer!
we really do have the coolest prime minister
Yes you do. Im a jealous Aussie.
It sooo wouldn't work with Malcolm Turnbull.
Ella Bailee..... if only the majority of the country thought so.
She is a not a ‘cool’ prime minister. She’s quite the opposite.
Anonymous well that's your opinion 🤷♀️
I feel for you New Zealand. Tasmania is often left off the Australian maps, by Australians.
New Zealand will be missed, tassie won’t.
Classic! I love the dig at Australia’s failed “the bloody hell are ya” campaign. You guys really do have the world’s coolest Prime Minister.
The campaign worked because people still remember it and quote it to this day.
You have an odd idea of "failed."
The man responsible for that awful campaign is now our PM 🤮
I loved that ad.
So much so i go over every year.
@@davidhoward4715 the girl at the end had a failed idea of how to walk
Drax : I can be completely invisible
John Cena : No, I can be invisible
New Zealand :
"Where the bloody hell are you?" killed me.
I was looking for this comment! Hilarious!
The same thing's been happening to Tasmania for years, but that part broke off Australia for a reason.
They only put it back on there so all your big ozy blokes could run around yelling "garn... show us ya map o Tassie" !!
Personally, don't have a problem with Aotearoa being left off World maps .......... keeps the rest of the World guessing.
I'm Indian. . What a great PM u have kiwis, what. Remarkable woman
People will be dying of anger if modi ever come in advertisements like that 😂
Having a band meeting, are they?
Yup, just finished the roll call.
gringochucha omg yes
Tassie doesn't do much better on those maps either
Sorry Todd, not with ya on that one, every man knows how to find the map of Tassie.
I can find the map of tassie easily enough, but there is a little peninsula down there that I sometimes find hard to locate.
Onya Todd. However, some maps might be showing the shaved versions.
Tasmania is different, Australia spent a lot of money denying it's existence leading up to 2000
It's the bit that fell off the bottom of Australia TBH
Its true its true, I'm working in Spain and found two maps missing NZ. I was just in a restaurant in La Coruna and the map on the way has Papua New Guinea, and sure Indonesia seem to have been missed to. So I told the guy in the Restaurant I'd call La Presidenta Jacinta, which he thought was hilarious, but I was serious. Rhys is onto something...lets get NZ back on the Map...ps I have the photos to prove it, which I managed to sneak out of the restaurant before "they"came!!!
0:09 I love how, as he says that, the camera zooms in so that his head blocks where New Zealand would be on the map behind
Except when they show the same map a moment we really aren’t on it
I had.......lamb chops for dinner the other night. Omg! I am so sorry, it seems I ate New Zealand for dinner. But....but it was so nice.
that s funny you should be Kiwi
... I'll get my welder friend to help me add New Zealand to the international village globe in Vancouver... least we could do for our kiwi friends 😂
....Rhys Darby at his absolute best. Beautifully delivered humorous advertisement!
She's actually a great actor too 😍
Like Blair
I think the reason is that no one can be bothered drawing a country with a smaller population than a city.
Think about this interesting fact: Auckland would be the United States 5th largest city if it was there... It would probably beat out Phoennix Arizona and Phily in Penn State.
As an American who doesn't know world geography, I say he's just looking at the wrong spot.
If you think finding New Zealand is hard, try finding Old Zealand.
They could have added:
THIS IS BECAUSE NEW ZEALAND IS OUT OF THE WORLD
👇
Ironic that now no one wants to visit now.
Trying to make the evil witch look human 👎
Just got back from a trip to New Zealand
And I loved the place.
Also Reece Darby is funny as
*rhys...
Yeah that's him
jimi jackson is better mate
Mark Taylor, where are you from?
Maybe Rece could be the next PM.
this is so so KIWI and so so TRUE
WHEN MY PRIME MINISTER IS A COMEDY ICON ♥️♥️♥️♥️ LOVE U AUNTY JAC
Sara Dickson unty😂😂
she's trying too hard
She's a fucken inept moron, who has done nothing in a year as PM....absolutely nothing....photo shoots and popping a sprog out down't count....nothing.
Comedy icon? Yea you're right, she's a professional clown after all.
@@philthy122 It seems like your comment didn't age well...
I guess it's because we're quite isolated, have a tiny population and don't seem to play a very significant role in world affairs. But hey, I kind like the fact that people don't pay much attention to us, just means we have more of NZ to ourselves lol
It's not on my map. I scribbled it out.
There's a page on reddit that has been dedicated to just this for a long time
I'm Aussie and can 100% say it's our fault for taking your tourists
Naomi Samantha prft!, cheeky Aussie’s😀, always stealing stuff!! I wander what the buzz in the beehive is all about? 😀
One day, one day I will visit new Zealand.
I love this commercial, I'm going to send it to my friends.
Actually lets just stay hidden for a bit longer!! 😊🇳🇿
I feel like if I travel to Australia or NZ, I'll fall off the ledge and plummet into space.
And then they shut down their whole international tourism agency until next year
I knew I couldn’t trust Ardern! She says “somethink” instead of “something”
To think this was the jovial New Zealand 3years ago and now it and Australia resemble 1930s Germany.
What a shame...
Love it. The map behind Rhys' desk also doesn't have New Zealand on it.
Insanely in love with NZ and Jacinda.
Aged like milk
FINALLY! I've always wondered why this was the case on some maps. I think the world map is just outdated
Putting aside obviously the Maoris, New Zealand has been known to cartographers since the 1800's. I don't think our maps in usage today are THAT old. Though it may explain my difficulty in planning my trip to the Ottoman Empire.
@@Ayeshteni
Yeah, that was an odd comment.
The virus used this maps too.
👏👏👏👏
"I'm guna Get in behind it"

"well not behind it, behind it, maybe around the side of it, but not in a dirty way" lol
Who is Rhys derby? A racehorse? The Elmer Fudd lookalike Kevin Rudd can steal. He wears clothes like homer Simpson.
Every one knows where New Zealand is now and how it's governed with care and compassion.
Give me a break!
@@DissTrackTed what would you like broken? Leg? Elbow?
Did she say “on to somethink”? TRIGGERED!
Daistar Gaming. omg, me too. Was going well then BAM! "somethink"! 😬😱
Love Jacinda's approach at practically anything on earth.
With love.
Fool
She’s great isn’t she! So lucky to have her as PM 🥰
Best ad hands down
"Somewhere in London"
Is she there or in NZ?!
I was just about to post this too. Because Rhys even asks about the Beehive which would imply she's there in Wellington
This makes sense now
And all this time I thought Australia didn't exist....
It WAS us Aussies. But everything can be solved with one very simple step.... all we ask is that your lovely PM sign a declaration stating that the Australia a the rightful owners of
1. Pavlovas
2. Lamingtons
3. Crowded House
And we will put New Zealand back on all the maps
(pS You can have Russell Crowe.)
Phar Lap?
Oh , yeah... and Pharlap too :(
But you have to admit Ken Ham is a New Zealander! not an Aussie
We'll keep Russell and you can keep Joh !!
I think crowded house officially calls themselves Aussie now
Before her horns started prodding through her skull.
hey there is a part two to this. yes!
Happens to Tasmania too
Is everyone commenting here a New Zealander? This is the first GOOD comment section on a video on trending
Newzealand on plague inc: Missed me
Newzealand on a Real Global Pandemic: Missed me
New Zealand is just the seventh state of Australia anyway
Leaving off maps! UNACCEPTABLE! How will I find my next bubble holiday ??
"Her majesty"
Fair enough, she's the elven queen
Jabcinda
I'm Canadian and I noticed this years ago. I wanted to let New Zealand know they weren't on the map, but I didn't know how to find an address for a country that didn't appear to exist.
border will open in 2022, plenty of work, the economy will boom,

This ad is better then the holiday would be 😂
Most of the Maps wihtout Newzealand in the video are also missing Tasmania.
I know what it’s like, Tasmania is also left out of maps
I did my part, I went in 2017...fourteen days. Best 'do-your-own-planning-trip' of my life.
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!!!
As long as they don't stop making " Brokenwood ",best programme on UK TV just now 👌 👍 😀
Literally wow I also remember the incident of Ed Sheeran. What a charismatic PM love from India ❤️❤️❤️
Maybe it's time for Peter Jackson to film the Silmarillion.
You might be on to "somethink"...
mkay
Felicity Cook. Yeah I noticed that too, but to be fair, it was a borderline case. Sort of between "K" and "G", but definitely more on the "G". At least it wasn't "Sump think".
Felicity Cook it is easy to change g to k
Don't care, anyway. Rhys talks like an ordinary Kiwi, so does Jacinda, Hell! so did J Key. Adern, "The people's PM, the anti Trump"! She rules. (As, Key would say; "At the end of the day")
I thought it was more "sumpthink".......I bet she used to say 'hostibal' and 'bisghetti' when she was a kid.
Hahaha bisghetti
New Zealand is disappearing because all the Kiwi's moved to Australia.
