  • Let's pretend we don't exist. Let's pretend we're at Outback Steakhouse.

  • Very nice restaurant!I am very enthousiastic.

  • If I was to eat some Australian Food, I visit Prison to get some.

  • @VTwinty well that is what Australia originally was....a huge prison continent.

  • @VTwinty

    Our food scene in Australia (particularly Victoria) is fucking amazing...

  • :(

  • oh..well, whatever. Kevin Barnes did this because he needed money for the following tour to promote the album 'Sunlandic Twins'. perfectly reasonable.

  • Last time I ate at Out back it tasted so bad I said throw it out back. I asked for Medium well and I got burn raw meat. Fuck them! Thats Out back and Sheldie to.

  • tell me this isn't real.

  • @variationsthereof

    i hope its not real it would be kinda sad

  • WTF is up with the accent!?!?!? that SO doesn't sound Australian!!!!

  • The blooming onion is a failure, its a poor mans version of KFC chicken breading over a deep fried onion, greasy, salty and gross. Oh, and trust me, outback doesnt know the secret 11 herbs and spices.

  • This is Australian food? Excuse me, i'm from Australia, I live in Australia. Since when the fuck do we eat prawns?

  • @OceanCinema hahahaha

  • @kaleidoscopeeyes9896 No seriously, most of that food ain't right.

  • i laugh at outback steakhouse because im an australian

    but that food actually looks really delicious

  • LETS PRETEND WE DON'T EXIIIST, LETS PRETEND WE'RE IN ANTARCTICAAAA

  • DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO DID THE VOICE OVERS FOR THESE COMMERCIALS?

  • @TheReasonWhyGuy I do for 5 dollars

  • @theguitarzero2 pfff... whatev ;P

  • I wonder how many burned vinyls came from this commercial. LOL

  • Kevin's voice is SO much better than this!

  • Lets pretend we don't exist!

  • I work at Outback, and we're as Australian as McDonalds is Irish

  • @Spudwrench2006

    McDonalds is Irish? So THAT's why their patties are green.

  • to hell with outback!

  • loling at the top rated comments!

  • My family and I just got back from eating at Outback in Live Oak, Texas. It was the worst dining experience ever. They told us a 40 minute wait which turned into an hour wait. The ran out of baked potatoes. The steak was horrible. Finally the waiter spilled a plate full of food on one of my guests. DON’T EAT AT OUTBACK!!!

  • I had the lobster and steak special for $20 the other day. It was gooooooood.

  • y is there prawns at a steakhouse? doesn't seem rite

  • @hayleeyjanee We do have different kind of casear salad and grilled pawn is 1 of them. :)

  • Uhh.... That was a New Zealand accent not and Australian one, most sane Aussies don't really sound like that.

  • Where the chicken is *slight pause* tender. (:

  • "toss all ur worries in the air cause youll forget them when ur there" as the mushrooms are being displayed

  • I KNEW it was the same song!!

  • what am i missing? whats the big deal? is steak taboo in australia or something?

  • @REALCougarsRmales No, it's because of the song x) Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games by Of Montreal. It's warped and in theorginal song the main lyric is 'Let's pretend we don't exist' and they made it sound like 'let's go outback' I love Of Montreal :) it's not a big deal-people are just making it a big deal lol.

  • @REALCougarsRmales

    Outback steakhouse has nothing to do with Australian food... at all.

  • I'm Australian, I'm not pissed off, I'm laughing :)

  • First off, wen the dude is describing the chicken, his voice gets all low and evil. anyone else hear that?

    Second, if i smash a pineapple on a table, it doesnt fall perfectly into two pineapple hemisperes...

    This draws me to the conclusion that outback steakhouse is actually in fact from mars.

  • @OMGoITSoHANNAH

    or that the low voice made the chicken sound nicer and that the pineapple had already been cut?

  • LETS GO OUTBACKZACK TONIGHT! HE IS THICKER AND JUICER! :D

  • All of you idiots are pure dumbasses!!! tthe theme is fucking australia

  • @opi335 no shit sherlock!!

  • Kevin himself said he wishes this never happened. I think it's funny as shit though.

  • AHAHAHHAHAHHA OF MONTREAL GOOD ONE

  • why is everyone pissed off about this. as a musician if someone offers you money to make music for a commercial where even more people will hear you why the hell would you turn that down

  • @rayisyourlover agreed, but most will see it as a sellout. also, kevin barnes himself said he wanted to hear their shitty rendition.

  • @rayisyourlover Because they bastardized their music is why! I'm fine with bands using their songs for commercials but when they use their songs for jingles is crossing the line. The only thing is worse is making a song with the intention of promotion (aka "Forever" by Chris Brown which was funded by Wrigley Gum for Doublemint Gum, "Doubly Your pleasure, double your fun", bah more like double the sell out. )

  • i dont why everybody is hating.

  • fucking sick.

  • FUCK THAT.

  • -_- If anyone asks im not australian......

  • Why is everyone hating this so badly?

    They needed money at the time and the lead singer was going through a hard time so he didn't give a fuck.

    It was this or they'd be in biggggg trouble.

  • This is all bullshit. Bad service, on Rockville road. I'd request for dread to the manager and she never came back. It's bad , I will never go there again.

  • Fuck Outback Steakhouse.

  • This always pissed me off.

  • Tinyflix I agree that the Aboriginal art is fake and far from real but I can assure u that on this particular commercial that the didge player is true blue Aboriginal.The rest of the commercials I can not speak for but yes the didge playing is very average on them.This particular commercial won awards

  • the amount of butthurt australians in the comments makes me giggle. Nobody gives a shit if its genuine australian cuisine when they eat there, they just want to eat steak. Now stfu with ur typical anti americanism.

  • @opinion56 Then why call it 'Outback'. Maybe I'll start a restaurant called 'American Heartland" and we'll serve fried arse and all sit around saying to ourselves, yeah we're eating American because they always talk about arse, eating arse, and fried food. Then for dessert I'll serve you Arsepops so you can all suck arse.

    By the way, you should hear how yanks sound when they walk into a MacDonalds anywhere in the world and how it's 'different' - talk about butthurt then!

  • @TinyFlix

    bad analogy. Outback actually servers good food. Most americans are very fond of australians, you should view this resturant chain as an insult!

  • @TinyFlix Im from NY and I approve this message ... I want to shake your hand * Sucks on Froze Arsepop*

  • @opinion56

    It's not anti-Americanism.

    It's frustration with the FACT that due to the state of your education system your people comparatively know less about the outside world & cultures of other countries that anyone else in the western world.

    The States is an awesome place, but like anywhere it has issues, and that's one of them.

  • @Cataclysm31 Most of the people in our country go through the government run education system. They don't learn much about America, or anything else really, either. But besides that point, that's a huge generalization and I'm sure it applies to almost any population. How much did you learn about America in your classes? I'm sure you learn a lot more about Commonwealth countries from your education than you know about Russia or the USA. How much did you learn about us from movies, TV, etc?

  • @worldofdraculas

    Of course I know that's a big generalization, but it stems from a real place and is not intended as an insult, rather as concern and frustration. Schools vary here just like anywhere but I can say at my school at least, we were taught a considerable amount about the US (I guess because of it's size and influence).

    I certainly can't say the same of Russia. I understand you bring up TV, I'd hate for Australia to be judged solely on "Neighbours", but I'm not that silly.

  • This makes me giggle everytime I see it.

  • What a load of horseshit, broccoli in an Aussie salad? Vmoit worthy Aboriginal art and 'music'? This fries instead of shrimp. Capsicum? Fuck me dead, Ausitralians wouldn't be caught dead in a place like this. I bet Americans think it's Aussie. It's about as Aussie as the Koran is American.

  • @TinyFlix Go fuck yourself. Your country's penal colony foundation warrants you to less of an opinion than a racist American's. I'm a proud Muslim and American, and in no way are the two complete opposites. Why do you even care that Outback serves this kind of food? There's a really easy solution to your complaint: Don't eat there and shut up.

  • @auggie87 Were are talking about a restaurant that touts itself as 'Outback' which gives me with my country's 'penal colony roots' somewhat more authority to speak about how authentic it is or isn't. In that light of that your statement that it warrants me less of an opinion paints you as a bit of a fucktard. Also, being a Muslim, you'd have to accept 2 more things - 1) Outback is not Halal. 2) The Koran is in Arabic. If you're going to try be clever, at least try to be smart, Auggietard.

  • @TinyFlix I do know it's not Halal, I'm not saying I eat there. And obviously I know the Koran is in Arabic as I use it most everyday. What I'm saying is that any intelligent American knows that the food at Outback is not Australian. I know for a fact that Aussies don't eat bloomin' onions and cheese fries on the regular, but instead of complaining about it on youtube, why not make a statement by not eating there? That's better than insulting Muslims.

  • @auggie87 Muslims I am certainly not interested in insulting, my family are muslim. It's just the absurd premise on which the restaurant is based. Why not just call it XYZ steakhouse instead of pretending its something that it's not. Fact is, true Australian food is quite bland. From the looks of it they came up with 2 names for the restaurant after brainstorming and picked one until someone told them Sizzler was already taken.

    As dumb as... Kosher's halal bacon house opening near you.

  • What's really funny about this commercial is that I remember hearing it years ago and really liking the song and, years later, getting into of Montreal and discovering this.

  • @spudtactics

    that is not funny. you are simply a moron, jerk-ass

  • @TheSunmanho So I'm a moron and a "jerk-ass" because I didn't know a song existed and found it humorous when I made the connection between the song and this commercial? Grow up, douchebag.

  • @spudtactics: Yup. Didn't you know? You're supposed to know EVERYTHING. :p

    P.S. I go through that all the time. :\

  • @spudtactics same thing happened to me haha

  • this is why i knew the song before i heard it. never knew about this.

  • I love how they turned this OK song into a commercial masterpiece.

  • Oh yeah, as soon as my two weeks was up I instantly felt better. It's amazing how much happier I am knowing that I don't work there now.

  • My god suicide looked better and better everyday that I had to go to work at the terrible place.

  • @vaginahertz Are you okay now? 

  • This fucken shit can get fucked.

  • Aussies,

    I, as an American, apologize for this.

  • @FM897 apology accepted!

  • This is how shit stops being indie and gets a booting from my hipster library of Existentialism. Which is what I call my hipster music library.

  • lmao i'm so American i actually loveeee this commercial..

    and miss it the new ones suck

  • Song ruined. Thankyou commercial. 

  • The didgeridoo player is Aboriginal Australian.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a disgrace... /:

  • love it.

  • lol so it turns out i heard of montreal before i knew who they were lol..i always liked this commercial ._.

  • that just makes me angry. :(

  • @headphonezombie

    don't cry, they made money off of this, and probably got some exposure, it's more important than basterdizing a song

  • I'm never eating there again :P plus it's expensive....

  • the income they got helped support of montreal going on tour, so it was worth it.

  • This is sickening.

  • weve all done something we regret in our lives -_-

  • da steaks were bombay..better than any steakhouse

  • @bbp2003 and now we know you've never been to a real steakhouse.

  • lol i love this

  • outack steakhouse is my fav restraunt<3 you have to get a bloomin onion, and the shrimp en fuego is amazingg.

  • no outback you fucking cocks

  • of montreal! :D

  • that looks good!!

  • This makes me want to kill myself.

  • Let's pretend this doesn't exist.

  • @moonagedaydream201 Good job. That was epic. [+5 points for gryfindor..!!]

    WE'RE FOR A JABBA-THE-HUTT AMERICA!!!!

  • FLABBA JABBA WABBA BUBBA NYUNGAR

  • outback you cunts

  • the dijeridoo sounds awesome!

  • my boi works as a server here for like 6 years in the usa, place is alright pretty bomb food

  • This song is soo stolen from Of Montreal's Wraith pinned to the mist

  • @Dsuperman102 i think thats the point

  • I was the didgeridoo player on last years commercial (the one everyone liked)The add agency that outback hired tried to rip me off so i told em to get stuffed..The didgeridoo player(no offence to him personally)on the latest commercials is terrible and unskilled.but in his defence if they pay ya squat then give em ya shit.

  • I still favorited it just to spite that vegan group that subscribed to my channel

  • overpriced, bad chain . steakhouse chains have gotten overpriced for quality, keg too.

  • ... It may be weird, but I prefer the song with the didgeridoo flavor added to the original

  • ... never ever say the word "shrimp" when you're talking about Australia. the word here is "prawn" not "shrimp"

  • @timeisticking1360 bloody oath mate

  • Cannot wait to show this to my aboriginal friend, let him say it's racist and cause a media frenzy across Australia as payback for that 'racist' KFC ad crap the americans caused.

  • @mubd1234 lol fk the kooris, they scream racism at every little thing there is.

  • I'm hungry

  • Outback steakhouse is about Australian as the US!

  • Oh, snap.

  • @barticus04

    Just as Panda Express is as Chinese as my blindingly white body.

  • @shakensparco Living in Australia I dont know what Panda Ex is but I gather its a dodgy US Chinese rip off?

  • I would sell out for a lifetime supply of their Orange Chicken.

  • this is so embarassing...... im from aussie land.. how shit is that lol

  • @jjcoolio1991 lolololol

  • @barticus04 lol i know huh? im from australia.

  • @bizarreunderworld me too...Brizzy!

  • @barticus04 ahh, the place with no winter lol. I got forwarded this by a american friend asking if this was genuine Australian food, im like well, we eat beef n chicken lol. He but kookaburra wings? I said illegal for starters lol.

  • @bizarreunderworld My wifes American and we went to Outback steak house last time we went back to visit family and I must of had every waiter in the place serve me plus the manager just because they wanted to hear me talk! lol And they kept saying Fosters is Australian for beer, but I told them no one drinks Fosters in Oz, they couldn't believe that one! lol

  • @barticus04 LOL i bet, eww fosters yuk, noone drinks that, gimme a carlton cold, ahhh, refreshing. Sadly yanks think we all drink it, i think i only ever heard of one guy who drinks it. Its more of a beer made by us, but sold elsewhere. If i was to go to U.S i would do my abo accent, i can sound real redfernish haha.

  • @barticus04 kinda like taco bell is as Mexican as burger king. i mean its not hot as hell and humid as fuck in outback steakhouse. you know I've never seen a poisonous animal in there and no one wants to outlaw small tit pron in the outback steakhouse. i don't think they even serve Vegemite!!!!!!!!!

  • They didn't do this version. They allowed Outback Steakhouse to remake Wraith Pinned to the Mist & Other Things, but this isn't Kevin singing, I don't think.

    And yeah. It sucks, but money's money, haha.

  • In today's world where everyone gets their music for free off the internet bands need to do stuff like this to pay the rent.

  • right, because of montreal's first four albums went multiple platinum, didnt they

  • lolz luv da song dnt knw y

  • it's really not hard to type out words.

  • I still like of Montreal. I wouldn't care if they used "She's a Rejecter" in a Visa ad. They need the money, I need the entertainment.

  • Everyone here is taking this way too seriously. I like Of Montreal, before and after this commercial.

  • yeah, why the hell does it matter? the fans should be happy for kevin and gang for being a part of something so iconic >.>

  • If they really want to give the restaurant an Australian feel, the voice over guy doing the commercials should say "prawns" instead of "shrimp."

  • Haha yeah - ask for "shrimp" in Australia and you'd just get a weird look.

  • @gnarkillkicksass lol u get a wtf?? lol

  • @FM897 huh? Australia is known to america for saying shrimp not prawns lol. Yea, im from aus n say prawns, but yanks wanna hear shrimp.

  • @bizarreunderworld Yeah, I know that's what yanks want to hear (I'm a yank, by the way) but it's not Australian.

  • @FM897 lol yea true, i wonder how many yanks know its not aus?

  • @bizarreunderworld Not to mention, they also used an American actor who put on an Australian accent for the commercial.

  • @FM897 yea, u cant half tell the voice over is american, aus is an accent thats very hard to fake, its gotta seem real, sadly u gotta be aus for it to be real. They should have got me over there doing my aboriginal accent haha.

  • Comment removed

  • pure dreck

  • I didn't realize they did a song for Outback...very disappointing.

  • they didn't do a song for outback. Of Montreal had nothing to do with the actual making of the song in this video....they just OK'd it (for a fee) for someone else to use the melody

  • This used to be my favorite commercial.:)

  • Me and my girlfriend love this ad - we call it the one with the gay singing robot

  • Comment removed

  • Am I the only one that enjoys the song?! :D

  • nope. its stuck in my head XD

  • i love it =]

  • yes.

  • hey..mike make sure you order 3 dinners this time...

  • I wonder if they ot pavlova.

  • The last time I ate there was indeed the last time. I got really sick later that day.

  • The texas roadhouse is better.

  • That's embarassing. We don't eat things like that or call things that ie shrimp to us are prawns.... Americans ruining our culture as they are too naive to see past their own borders I guess. Shame, real shame. No wonder the world mocks them :)

  • I agree And i'm American.

  • Lol were also on top of the world
