Is that Leo Prinsloo?
@@Rob-fc9wg You're right, it's him! 😊
@@DaliborTruhlar
He's very well known in Oz 🇦🇺
Cheers.
@@Rob-fc9wgYes, the famous heist video etc. 🤣
@@DaliborTruhlar
Yep.
the perfume segment is still cracking me up
I'm glad you like it! It is funny 😊
I was cracking up on that one, then the "You have to do something sexy to a tractor" had me howling. My wife ran downstairs to find out why I was making so much noise.
00:47 The legend armored car driver with nerves of steel!!!
Good choice! The Orkney Snork Nie! 🤣🤣🤣
I wondered who else was going to pick up on that. I am an Aussie in Brazil and that clip was legend all over the world.
@@gemini6999 😊😊😊
call robbie and josh., glad to see him relaxed
"You have to do something sexy to attracter her/do something sexy to a tractor" is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
You're right, it's hilarious! Such a smart play of words 😊
Thank you for the clarification, I'm hearing impaired and the caption didn't say what was going on. Makes sense now, although it was funny also when I didn't have a clue what was going on.
@@SWilkin676 🥰
The perfume one made me belly laugh. I'm still smiling as I type this.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊
Do I need to rub it first lol
😊😊😊@@glenchapman3899
That’s an old one from a Scottish comedy show Kick up the 80s
I just watched it a little bit, nice one, thanks for the tip @@pauls3204
" do something sexy to a tractor" !! I'm dying! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad you like it! It is very good 😊😊😊
I played the perfume commercial for somebody at work. Long story short, they showed somebody else et cetera and now I've got a written warning.
"sorry"
I'm sorry to hear that but thank you sharing! I hope they didn't come for you? 😊
@@DaliborTruhlar I'm not saying I am a trouble maker, but my visits to HR are almost scheduled ahead of time.
@@nautifella When the times comes, you will come 😊
@@nautifella Dont know who you work for but I would consider finding another job.
How did you cum to the conclusion that it was SFW video?
The perfume ad made my day,I can't stop laughing 😂
I'm so glad you like it! It is amazing 😊
stolen from the satire play "sinderella" by Jim Davidson
The women's insurance company. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for your vote, I'm so glad you liked it! 😊
They're all great. The sales lady in the perfume commercial was hilarious
I'm glad you enjoyed them! And thank you for your vote! 😊
laughed out loud at the perfume advert--the others are good but I LOVE this one
I'm glad you like it! It IS a good one 😊😊😊
Is it a real advert or a comedy sketch?
@@alangknowles A real commercial, as far as I know
@@alangknowles I just double checked - just to be sure - it is by "rubybox" from 2016 and it is even on their company's CZcams page, so it should be real 😊
Based on a very old joke.
"you have to do something sexy to attract her (to a tractor)" - funny!
That's a good one 😊 I'm glad you like it!
Hilarious. South Africa has unique sense of humor. I wouldn’t hit mute like I do for all American commercials.
I'm glad you enjoyed them 😊
American here. I didn't laugh once at any of these commercials, it's hard to make something humorous that doesn't rely on cultural relevance.
The yellow pages ad was epic. I loved it.
@prakasavigraha6104 I'm so glad you say that! Thank you for watching to the end 😊
The ‘tractor’ one was hilarious! They are all excellent though. Gave me a good laugh. Thank you 🙏 from Outback, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 💖🙏
Thank you so much for your nice words, I'm so glad enjoyed it, my friend! 😊😊😊 Greetings from Austria 😊
I love how they used a shameless emulation of "Careless Whisper", probably to avoid paying for the music. 😄
You're right, exactly! 😊 @@hemmo3732
South African wit, subtle, understated and extremely funny. I own up to it- Come to me tops it.
@christinewillis7545 I'm so glad you like it! Nicely put 😊 And thank you for your vote!
The perfume one is definitely the best
Thank you for your vote! At some point I will make the ranking, let's see who wins! (But it's going in this direction 😊)
The perfume ad was completely hilarious!
You're right, it is! I'm glad you liked it! 😊
@0:47 it's the guy who was in the firefight in the armored car.
Gotta love that guy!!!!!❤🎉😊
You're right! Leo Prinsloo 😊
4:03 storyline of the enterprising blokes still crackin' me up in me Bakkie
I'm glad you still like it, it is very good and intelligent 😊
the mentos in the man had me in stiches ;-) thank you for brightening my day
I'm so glad you liked it, thank you for your nice comment! 😊 You're right, I have to laugh myself every time I see it 😊
Thank you so much for these really funny i lived in S Africa as a child in the 60s we came back to Northern Ireland and i returned as an adult to work and left in 1982 and came home again loved the country
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank for sharing your story, you seem to be a traveller, from south to north to south 😊
The second ad was a true South African courier. I saw a video, where he fought off several cars and trucks with gunmen shooting them. He IS a badass!
You're right! 😊
He is a little bit more than a courier, he was driving a cash in transit van. But yes he is the real deal.
😊@@JJSmith1100
Absolutely. Leo Prinsloo, former Special Task Force officer. For the whole heist footage, search for "INSANE video of failed heist in South Africa".
i recognised him too ,extreme bad ass bro
I love to see South Africa's most famous armored car driver getting TV commercial work.
I'm glad you like it! 😊😊😊
I thought I recognised the bloke.
Leo Prinsloo 😊 @@brianthesnail3815
lol commercials from my own country NOICE
I'm glad you like them, thank you for watching! You are the first from South Africa 😊
0:45 thats leo prinsloo the same guy that stopped the cash in transit heist.
You're right 😊
The one with the large rolling ball was easily the best.
Yellow Pages! I'm glad you like it, thank you for your vote 😊
Loved the tradies and the come to me ad! They’re all hilarious though. I miss ZA - most of it anyway! None of these would fly here and you’d be cancelled or burnt at the stake. 👍🏻
I'm so glad you like them! And thank you for your vote 😊 You've been to South Africa or lived there?
Yes, I lived in the Western Cape for several years. Cape Town is a wonderful place but not so sure what it’s like now. Went back to NZ and now in the relatively stable and prosperous Australia. I’ve been back and forth quite a few times too but not since 2013.
@@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus Nice! You seem to be on the move very often 😊 I'm actually thinking of making a video with Australian commercials - are there currently some good ones you like?
You might find some good material, but much of the stuff I’ve seen recently goes out of the way to avoid cancellation. The irreverent larrikin humour still exists though in the places where rough men, and women, go about their business. The see you in the Northern Territory campaign was a classic : CU in the NT. 😲🤣
CU in the NT - I didn't know that one! 🤣Thank you for the information! But it seems to be unofficial (selling t-shirts?). Also, Larrikin was new to me (I'm from Austria), so a great opportunity to learn something new 😊 Great inspiration! @@ThreenaddiesRexMegistus
It's so good to see that there's still a sense of humor somewhere!
Mentos and coke was the funniest!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them! 😊😊😊 And thank you for your votes! But in this video is no Mentos or Coke, maybe you watched my other video: czcams.com/video/ByDZXvTUXGA/video.htmlsi=hQk-ml6lmp4z95yp&t=340
I had a good laugh 😂😂😂. I filmed number 11 11,5 and 11,7. It was such a fun job to do, the director is such a lovely guy to work with 😊
You filmed the Cape Town Fish market commercial? That's great! Thank you for telling me 😊 You were behind the camera? I would love to put you in the description of the video. If you like, tell me your name and I will include you there!
Nice compilation, feels like a time machine 15 years back. Thanks!
The Courier Guy = #1!
Great choice! Thank you for your vote 😊
2:12 - I love the two different reactions to the chip here! Great end to a funny commercial!
You're right 😊
When I still used to live in South Africa I generally watched the adverts because they were so good. The original Caltex GTX ads with "Hennie and Swaer" were absolute classics.
Thank you for the tip with these guys! I didn't know the commercials and just watched some of them 😊
Thanks for this man; in these trying times you gave me laughter.
I LOVED the one w/ the two electricians the best. That made me LOL, so that' my fave.
Aaand... the last 3 (11, 11.5, 11.?) made for a fantastic ending. It's 'funny' that in comedy, saving the best, or at the very least top 3 bits for the close is a brilliant idea.
@jimm3370 I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you very much for watching, your votes and for your nice comment 😊 You're right, the electricians are fantastic, I was suprised myself the first time I saw it. The #11,11.5 and 11.9 are always tricky because you want to show the best immediately but need something special also for the end - I'm glad it worked this time 😊😊😊
Perfume: Looks & Brains... she's a keeper.
😊
Glad to see your still uploading Thumbs up 👍
Hello, my friend, it's nice to see you again 😊 Yes, I've been busy but it's good to be back and to talk to you again!
Those were hilarious! The rolling ball ad…! So many business opportunities out of one accident! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm so glad you enjoyed them 😊😊😊 Thank you for your vote for the Yellow Pages, you're right, so many business opportunities!
Omg finally a new Video! I love it! Very good content!
It's so good to hear from you again, my friend 😊And I'm so glad you like them! 😊
The perfume commercial: my jaw dropped and then I laughed and laughed and laughed!
That's nice! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊
Kulula - those dance moves were killa LOL oh and the 'a-tractor' (attract her)
You're right! We should be practicing these moves 😊 Thank you for your votes!
THANK CHRIST they are only 13% here. And you guys realize the "courier guy" ad was that famous driver with titanium balls who was getting shot at on the freeway. BEST ONE.
Praise the Lord, you are a Christian!🙌🙌
Yes and I visited SA in the 70's. I knew what was coming. The world should take a lesson from SA about what large numbers of them means. @@savannahbridge437
13% but 50%
who's 13% dirty savage whiteys or black originator native beautiful people?
I haven't heard that tune in the Kulula ad, "Popcorn" since I was in school! Great memories in this video.
I'm glad you like the song and even remember the name! Most people know it but don't know how it's called 😊 Good memories!
The perfume one is hilarious
I'm glad you like it, thank you for your vote! 😊
that guy doing the defence moves in 2nd commercial was the driver involved in that insane shoot out on freeway of the armoured car
You're right, Leo Prinsloo! 😊
Hey he is the real life hero, Leo Prinsloo, who fought robbers caught on Dashcam!
Salute!
You're right! 😊😊😊
"Do you know your money stole my Savannah...?" I saw the punchline coming a mile away, but doncha love a good old joke?
You're right, it's a classic 😊 I didn't know the commercial before making the video, then I learned that it's quite famous. Do you know what year it came out?
I can't find an original air date; many repostings of the ad and vids like this, and apparently one of the actors is living on the streets in Johannesburg, sadly. But the product itself was first sold in '96. @@DaliborTruhlar
Yes! I remember the same joke acted by two chimps moving a piano downstairs, way back in the 1970s. Younger one says to the older one 'Hey Dad, Dad, do you know the piano's crushing my foot?' 'No son, but you hum it and I'll play it'.
Thank you for the information, that's nice! 😊Also important because they often credit the Savannah commercial with coming up with that phrase. Question is which one is older, PG Tips or Savannah? Here it is: czcams.com/video/HgzEBLa3PPk/video.html @devijankowicz9491
"Le' me buy you lunch!"😂😀🙁😀
@Space_Debris Let my buy YOU lunch! 😊 I'm glad you like it, the dialogue is perfect!
2:45 Lucky No. 3 .. was gonna click off but it smells like “come to me” too!! 😂😂
😊😊😊
Had to listen to the "Gum to me" perfume one twice... very subtle. Partly because I speak French and my brain gave the blonde the benefit of the doubt. LOL
C'est bien 😊😊😊
Number One, and Number Eleven for sure - made my morning! Thanks :)
I'm so glad you liked them! 😊😊😊 Thank you for watching (to the end!) and for your votes! 😊
In astronomy, there is a programme you can use called SExtractor (it helps you identify objects like stars in an image). So doing something sexy to a tractor really hit the laugh bell there 😂😂😂😂😂(besides which the way both guys acted it out was just super brilliant!) The "coming" perfume was also super hilarious - how did they get away with it! 🤣🤣And a shout out to one of my all-time favs - the Ford Bakkie holding the nation together! An absolute classic! And I'm not "sorry" about it at all😂
Me encantan ☆ gracias ♡
@palaciosmuller.9029 Gracias por tu lindo comentario, ¡me alegra que hayas disfrutado el video! Thank you for your nice comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
No it still doesn't smell like "Come to me" 💀😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
The perfume ad..very good.
I'm glad you liked it, thank you for your vote!
The yellow pages was hilarious!
Great one! I'm glad you liked it 😊
Remembered & Love the Savannah ads❤️
I'm so glad you like them! They are classics 😊
That's the dude driving the security van that got jumped! Way cool sir!
You're right, it's Leo Prinsloo! 😊
I did like the perfume commercial. But my favourite was the yellow pages one.
Nice! Thank you for your vote 😊 Judging by the comments, I think, Yellow pages is becoming number 2, maybe more - good competition!
They are all great. Loved them all 😅😬😷
I'm so glad you like them! Thank you very much for your nice comment and for watching 😊😊😊
I loved them ALL! Im new and this is the first time Ive seen or heard about this channel. I must say, I am very impressed at how much I laughed! A welcomed change from World events! Thank You! I Subscribed because I need this in my life🤣 Blessings,Fran
@BatOneTwo Hi Fran! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video 😊 Thank you very much for your nice comment and for subscribing, I hope you will find more that makes you smile or laugh!
@@DaliborTruhlar 🤗 Im sure I will. Have a great day!!
@@BatOneTwo Have a great day, too! 😊
I understood the " Come to me" ad because I had heard it before .In English.The rest of em- not a word.
When you already know it, it comes much easier! I mean, the understanding 😊
That perfume ad was,.......LMAO!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Love this ^^
I'm glad you like it! 😊😊😊
The Come to me ad was a crack-up. Greetings from a Saffa in NZ.
I'm glad you liked it, thank you for your vote! 😊Greetings from Austria 😊
The yellow pages ad was great 😂
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you for your vote 😊
Is the guy doing the moves in the second trailer the driver from the failed money van hijack?!?!
You're right, it's Leo Prinsloo!
Perfume ad - best by far!
Thank you for your vote, I'm glad you liked it 😊
I must not have a sense of humour similar to South African culture, as I am at 7:00 of a 9:39 compliation, and finally found an advert that is funny to me (the yellow page series of accidents one)
Thank you for watching so long, I'm glad you enjoyed at least this one!
Great collection. Against all odds, it makes me want, in my drunken state, want to move of South Africa.
That's great, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 And I hope you are now sober enough to decide when you will move there 😊 @lacydaniels5568
I liked the swap off with the dish workers LOL call me racist LOL even more
That's a very funny and interesting one at the same time - it won the Creative Circle Award 2007 😊
This just tells me I need to move to South Africa and open a chicken restaurant. that is the most expensive chicken I've ever seen in my life. I'm going to get rich and I'm going to buy one of those cars that has a truck bed in it ...I miss them.😎
I understand your feelings and I wish you best luck with you truck bed! I'm just afraid, the 30 South African Rand they are talking about in the first commercial is not enough to buy you such a car 😊
Lol R30 is like $1.50.
The tractor one was brilliant.Especially the way they somehow avoided a lawsuit about the George Michael knock-off.
I'm glad you like it! And you're right 😊
That Chicken Licken ad was completely unrealistic I'm afraid.I've seen bakkies go through the Beit Bridge border crossing with double the height of that load.
@markwillies7666 You made me laugh! 😊😊😊
I found this by accident after watching the Budweiser Clydesdale ads., and I just loved the tractor ad ! The next one had me thinking how racist until they swapped places, then I had to laugh. I live in West Australia and I found it quite hard to understand some of the dialogue but I love it anyway😊😊
@jackyfreeman5530 I'm glad you liked them! Thank you for your votes, that's great 😊
it's funny how something is racist as hell when it's one way but somehow not the other way and it's funny? You have a very perverted definition of racism.
Like America, the sense of humor is the first casualty when you don't actually have anything to worry about.
Never would have thought their ads were so.... ummm 🤔 interesting 🧐😂.
Interesting! I hope you liked them ☺️
You all in Cape town are flat-out crazy. 😂
😊😊😊
Come to me!!! I pissed myself laughing.....
I'm glad you enjoyed it, it is a good one 😊
Come to me 😂🤣🤣
I'm glad you liked it! 😊😊😊
Wow. Interesting country and cultures.
Adculture 😊
Cape Town fish market ads - "we're sorry" the original CZcamsr apology
😊😊😊
I love Mzansi🤣

From England..you're ads are killing me..Super good.Can understand Afrikaans..

The courier that outran the armed attack was the second one. Dude's world famous.
You're right, Leo Prinsloo! 😊😊😊
very nice
@smarth23 I'm so glad you like it! 😊
Humor in South Africa is certainly different than it is in the United States.
jajajajaja The 11`s killed me

You're right, I also think they put a lot of work in it - great job! 😊 (Sorry for answering after 11 days, your comment was in the held for review section, I don't know why ... ) @@cathythomas250
I like the one with the bear farting in the truck.
I'm glad you like it! Thank you for your vote 😊
It's so XXI century when you have commercials when you're watching commercials.
