[MrSouter2]

Mega lols

[WhatIseeIsay]

Might not be politically correct.... but it is FUNNY! And bright..... hehehehe....

[Hannodb1961]

For the Pommies abroad that don't know this: Your ancestors started a little war down here when they discovered the ZAR (Transvaal) has gold. Trouble is, the small band of farmers (Boers) gave your professional army a bit of a beating. So, Lord Kitchener and Alfred Milner, sore losers that they were, placed the Boer families in concentration camps in which 27000 died. Yes, they were our little Hitler. So, excuse us for having a little fun at your expense.

[Ntoxybabe]

hahahahaha...hahahaha,...hahah­a...why you guys so sensitive....its funny

[jimbojims]

fuckin funny

south africa has the best commercials by far

[zillaxy]

I didn't get it initially cause I thought they were advertising tea! 

[vernondewinnaarsta]

stupid fuckers in these comments eish

[hecktick133]

I don't get how shooting the guy made the flag whiter???

[TheAwdeklerk]

@hecktick133 The guy got shot because his flag wasn't white enough.

[Solo11111]

@hecktick133 It didn't make the flag whiter, but if it was whiter he wouldn't have gotten shot. It's not rocket science......

[Solo11111]

@hecktick133 It didn't make the flag whiter, but if it was whiter he wouldn't have gotten shot. It's not rocket science......

[07957399819]

fucking racist bastard

[07957399819]

fucking racists bastards i wud blast u off too fucking shit

[stefkuczb]

ONE OF THE BEST ADS EVER

[violentopposition]

fuck anyone who is offended its as easy as that....

[liezlwolf]

Someone's taking the mickey out of you guys. I'm South African, living in South Africa. I have never seen this ad on any TV Channel and it would never be shown. It was probably done as a skit to be shown on some stand-up comedy show but I can guarantee you if it had been shown they would have been charged with hate-speech. There is zero tolerance for this type of thing in South Africa!

[Lisll]

@liezlwolf I have seen this ad on TV a few times. Was shown on SABC channels a couple of years back. So no-one's been taking the mickey out of anyone.

[LOLitskemo]

Ahhahahahahah ! Lol

[LOLitskemo]

Ahhahahahahah ! Lol

[TimeGap79]

lolz

[phumie99]

oooooooohhhh the humour is too sick on this lol

[TheNkunzi]

Why South Africa? ,this is not related to South Africa in anyhow?

[samgar2]

Hello! McFly? The anglo-boer wars?

[Discipal4goodmusic]

Could be anywhere but it was made in south african and relates to the anglo boer war. LOL! Very funny!

[saffergirl89]

hahaha! lol

[Gungho47]

As the creative who conceptualised this ad I find it fascinating that it elicits such polarised views. What people miss is that the 'Boer' was in essence a bit dumb as he didn't understand what the Redcoat was on about. If you've ever read Herman Charles Bosman's short stories you'll completely understand the tone of humour.

[mens83]

Who the Hell are you calling Dumb bitch !!!

[kameeldoring]

What do you think Sreggaematic09 ? The war, known as the last British imperial war, was the longest (almost three years), the most expensive (over £200 million), and the most disastrous of all wars for Britain between 1815 and 1914. Against 40000 Boers. So " did you realy win?" If the Afgans had our guts , England and the US would be in their hands.

[Sreggaematic09]

if I remember, didn't the "rooineks" force the dutchmen sign the treaty of vereegining?

[karuspery]

What a joke. The Rooineks raped,murdered and pillaged -scorched earth policy. They lost and resorted to dirtiest tactics in history.Hitler was a pussycat compared to the rooineks.

[PenzanceGunner]

"If I remember"

You most likely looked it up, you stupid fuck!

[Sreggaematic09]

haha, I find it funny, because the British Destroyed the afrikaaners in both boer wars and sent them all to fokkal concentration camps lmao

[RapidCS]

Oh i see...silly me thinking that the use of the brit and boer had any significance...

[GLove39]

ha ha funny

[Gregoss25]

if you think this is racist, your racist for thinking that. It's so blatantly just about the white flag not being white enough.

[taistelutomaatti]

@Gregoss25

I agree, if a person thinks something racist when in fact the others are talking about cloths that person himself/herself has some racial insecurities.

[MarkyMarkSaffa]

Very funny! And this is not racist at all btw as it is the flag that needs to whiter! So everone stop saying its racists u dumbs asses!

[ljs2k7]

lol the flag needed to be whiter, ahaha, that is quite good advertising

[rondo2KG]

good idea, poorly executed. i had no idea wtf that was supposed to be until i red the comments.

[kameeldoring]

moes sy pelle ook gaan skiet het. die bliksem wou seker kom koffie vra.

[shiteetah]

Ek lag my noe dood!

[we5026]

lol

[miriamb3]

this is a kak ad,not funny at all

[springbok321]

i miss sa

[DarkMindedllamas]

i dont even get this add 0_0 i love leon schuster e_e i miss sa WE ROX

[sexyeamo]

I didn't say you were like the British.

[KiwiBasher]

You are a typical liberal retard! If you don't like the add , then don't watch it.

[sexyeamo]

But wouldn't the descendents of English settlers find this racist against them, and wouldn't blacks find it racist against them? Either way, I can't believe this made it to TV in such a sensitive country especially with that catchphrase "when your whites need to be whiter"

[80SAFRIKAN]

No south africans are not like the British :P we dont get "sensitive" about stupid shit

[Boabyo]

Can't beat an Afrikaner at racial stereotyping ;)

[robotminione]

Dude. The _WHITE FLAG_ needed to be whiter. Duh.

[Swagman8]

double entendre if anything ya bastard

[islandshark4]

@sexyeamo: The Boers are white. British settlers were white. How the hell can it be racist? You do realise that political correctness is a tool of communist arseholes, don't you?

[pencilbuck]

Classic.

[dpy101]

haha i though this add was racist but then i fugured out its cuase his flag wasnt white enough... funny haha

[matkent123]

Was that meant to have been set during the boer war?

[wesfort]

yes

[placentaone]

Now thats funny too, check out my mugabe zim zoo, the ASA pulled it as of yesterday.

[xaviSF]

when i saw the gun i knew it was because that guy was english south african and those were afrikaners/boers , even tho i am not south african at all.

[oliverelliottjardine]

loool crakin me up

[andyyoutoo]

hehehehehe and if students had made it, it would have been Racist. hahahahahah

[75tim192l4]

you fucking south african's hahahaha

[Iainsane]

f..king A!!!

Wicked!

[gideontx]

LOL

[boerebru]

This is fucking hilarious haha

however you need to be south african to get it lol hahaha

[jonathanjwf]

thank god i'm south african lol

[GoFeri]

I'm not South African but I suspect that two guys are Afrikaners/Boers and the other guy is British South African.

[boerebru]

yes the two are boere and the guy waving the flag is or should be a Brit and the ad is based during the AngloBoere war

[matthewmox]

why would the guy with the flag be british when both the boers and brits were white? The guy with the flag is black, hence the catchline whites whiter

[phoratio]

watch it again... more closely. Note the fact the guy waving the flag is white and says "Hello over there chaps!"

[wazzy3007]

his flag wasn't white enough...

[drevil5001]

A bit offensive, but hilarious anyway.

[Daringa]

verdoemde rooinekke

[jediapostle]

Dis vrek snaaks.Boere is maar die beste.

[ManSeekingMonkey]

Classic SA advert,hahahahaha!

[ilyasr2]

it's not funny!

[jonnovice]

Ja nee jy soek nie kak met 'n Boer nie! En die Engelse soldate het dit op die harde manier geleer!

[Bbliksem]

Bedonnerd! Jip, you need to be sure white is really white, hey?!

[johnjollyjack]

Brilliantly White!

[Swanbow]

Jy soek nie kak mit die boer. Lol Gotta love this add.

[chanti80]

was this really on South african t.v and in what year? please reply.

[Swanbow]

Dont have a clue

[shnuglefeet]

HAHAHA!!!!!!!

[80SAFRIKAN]

;))

[jongandal]

stupid and bad taste!!!!

[80SAFRIKAN]

isit...........

[KiwiBasher]

You are an idiot!

[TGBAgentOrange]

@jongandal grow a set... do you know what is stupid and bad taste? What the British did to the Boere

[jongandal]

@TGBAgentOrange

My comment was made 2 years ago...You are still in the past looks like. The train is gone!!!

[TGBAgentOrange]

@jongandal that might be, but you know as well as I know that I'm making sense and yours dont

[Hannodb1961]

@jongandal Not half as stupid and bad taste as the 27000 Boer women and children that died in British concentration camps during the Second Anglo-Boer War. I'd say, considering the historical context of this ad, it is in jolly good taste.

[joTee103]

hahahahahha

[howzitlekker]

by the way...the english wore khaki, not red. unless this is the 1st boer war in 1886.

[Swanbow]

The first boer war was more a seris of battle's than a war if you ask me but hey the boer still kicked ass

[howzitlekker]

de la rey,de la rey, sal jy die boere kom lei......

[Kyle359]

That's a Martini-Henry rifle. During the war, the Boers were issued the Mauser Model 95. And it wouldn't have been a captured rifle, either, because the British replaced the Martini ten years before the war started.

Having said that, I thought the commercial was hilarious.

[muzzio75]

this add makes me feel a need to go out and buy creamy delicious ice cream with chocolate sauce and put a little cherry on top, but i do however feel that traffic is too congested at this hour.

[AnitaHu1987]

Can someone tell me when this commercial was launched in South Africa?

[Knersis1]

Stupid ad!!!!!

[kylratix]

I think the double-entendre was intended here - stemming from the phrase "That's mighty white of you."

[spokest]

Some pretty stupid responses here. Its an Afrikaner shooting a British redcoat who is trying to surrender using a flag that is not white enough for it to register as a flag of surrender. To claim that it is therefore racist shows the posters of such messages up as fools. It could have been any other warring nations, but as it was made in SA they chose one of their own wars. You saddos who harp on about racism where none exists are harmful to the real cause of racial equality. Get a life.

[sutadi1970]

well fukkin said ou pal! fok die idiote wat nie humor het en te ernstig is oor die lewe!

[mastersan6]

I think by "whites" they meant the plural of the word "white", not the people.

But seriously: if this commercial weren't made in South Africa, would anybody think it's racist? If it was for example, an Irish commercial, who would see it as racist? Nobody.

It's all a matter of context.

That said, my irony meter exploded when I saw it.

[MagnusUltracock]

underwear is racist

[lcarlosrosado]

wow, so wrong...

[jikanak]

As contextually racist as I'm sure we'd all like this to be, I'm pretty sure burnchunder's right.

[RaddMcCool]

Racism?  No! Irony? Yes!

[dorkswithoutfaces]

It's from South Africa.. Where they had apartheid. "When your whites need to be whiter"... It's a pretty racist commercial.

[bumchunder]

What? Are you retarded? Seriously... Thats not the point at all!

He was waving a dirty white flag in surrender. As it wasn't really very white, it was confused as being a regular flag, and thus the dude got shot. I really dont see what makes it racist. You're an idiot.

[bumchunder]

[mancxvi]

Do you know anything at all about South Africa?

[mancxvi]

Clarity: directed at burnchunder

[KiwiBasher]

You are black aren't you? You sound a bit inferior.

[sf57198]

Hahaha the guy shoots someone. I don't get it. :(

[Swanbow]

A british soldier is trying to surrend. A boer soldier shoots him and doesnt even care. It is ment to show that the boers are hard stuborn people who take no shit from no one. Jy soek nie kak mit die boer.

[Kyle359]

The flag was supposed to be white for surrender, but since it was so dirty, they took it for a normal regimental colour and shot him. I seriously doubt that there are any messages beyond, "Use our product to get really clean laundry."

[Swanbow]

But even if he was going to surrender I doubt the Burgher would really want a british soldier crawling all over the place. If he was surrendering they would of shot him anyway.

[sf57198]

Ah OK that makes sense.

[KiwiBasher]

You are not very intelligent are you?

[sf57198]

I'm not intelligent enough to comprehend what you're saying. :(

[bossiwhat]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA lol
