Kittens and unicorn tears you say?

[buritogringoson]

I nie ma pier*****ęcia ;/

[MissWooHoo1]

fuck i love these parodies

[AlexJBaldwin]

@MissWooHoo1 Me too. See the DownFall Of A California Winery - brilliant

[MissWooHoo1]

@AlexJBaldwin will do

[drpoxy]

All those affected by the QANTAS grounding should make every effort to ensure this video goes viral ! Who knows - perhaps the term "doing a Joyce" will enter the English language as a synonym for comitting business suicide.

[Karl0010]

Warning - Hitler gets very angry when his name is used to compare other amateur dictators to him.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@Karl0010 Too true..

[ptanamas]

This video really makes my day!

Hitler as Alan Joyce = resemblance is uncanny... 

[Jeepgirlcj7]

LOL!!! That was awesome!



[squirttle92]

Very witty! Love it.

[oxocookiedough]

Alan Joyce = Hitler ? xD harsh.

[oxocookiedough]

seen this Hitler film section too many times . . . Game of Thrones anyone? (Sean Bean Dies: Hitler's reaction) xD  hilarious

[ultramediaAustralia]

Yeah sorry, but between Qantas and the Unions, it's not Qantas that reminds me most of the nazis

[yolly12]

This is true genius. Brillint writing. I literally laughed till I cried - thank you.

[redsquarephoto]

This video makes better use of Hilter than Hiltler himself. Hilarious.

[mcgrago]

QANTAS CEO Joyce reminds me of that guy from the 'Simpson's' episode, trying to sell the monorail train system. After deceiving the entire town of Springfield, you then see him trying to skip town, with his huge bags full of money!

[eirinn2]

Brilliant! Very clever and hilarious humour, yeah....brilliant mate!

[callescortadas]

"do we know how this all started?" yeahh!!

[weirdoboy100]

amazing hahahahaha

[WarblesOnALot]

@AlexJBaldwin No worries... However., Underlying the squabble between Management & Workers, though, is the point that the Carbon Emissions of Aircraft are about to be Fuel-Taxed... This will, together with the Global Financial Implosion, sound the Death-Knell for Airlines. Regardless of where they are maintained, or crewed... They're following the Flying Boats. For all the same reasons. No Demand, but high Costs. Mass Flight is Over. Y'see !

[AlexJBaldwin]

@MrProcoptodon Thansk so much for your comments, just distilling what a lot of people were thinking. Cheers.

[charlesfrith]

The writing is superb. Top notch. Big laughs even when I watched it twice. Rare for me.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@charlesfrith Charles, coming from you, that is praise enough. Your channel is an inspiration to all of the eclectic collectors on the web. Kudos to an impeccably curated channel

[charlesfrith]

@AlexJBaldwin Thanks mate. I sent this to George at Adscam I think he's blogging it tomorrow so America should know about :)

[teambarry79]

awesome! anyone who hates it must be one of the unfortunate soles left standing in the room when everyone is told to leave! haha

[HotToTrotMarketing]

LMFAO - brilliant - Alex BAldwin - do you want a job?

[SausMedKartoffel]

8 people were grounded by Qantas.

[cosdown]

This was fucking stupid.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@cosdown Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and they all stink.

[78andyg]

@AlexJBaldwin Unoriginal and not funny. When the Australian Rugby League version of the footy show used the exact same clip in a skit they did last year it got ridiculed - and with good reason - it was not funny. This is not as funny as that was. sorry

[Karl0010]

@cosdown Who are you? One of Joyce's staffers?

[AlexJBaldwin]

@Karl0010 Not at all. Someone who likes DownFall parodies and strcuk while the #qantasluxury debacle unfolded.

[james24726]

LOL very funny lol again!!!

[airtouch01]

Lol good one

[EndorphinsRUS]

Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

[Stretchyo]

Rofl, this was awesome.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@Stretchyo Why thanks, thanks so much

[WarblesOnALot]

@AlexJBaldwin Damn, you missed the Whìnning Pommy Thatcherite-Tory-Fascist Angle, but the National Socialist/Totalitarian over-theme probably more than made up for it..

Overall, excellent !

Thanks.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@WarblesOnALot Thanks - i wanted to be mindful that this was less an overtly political statement and more a situational commentary.

[bdouble69]

" I'll ground the whole Internet " funny as I'm pissing myself laughing much funnier than Hitler Pariodies

[AlexJBaldwin]

@bdouble69 Thanks very much, there are a number of very well written Downfalls out there. The combination of timing and passion of the audience is what made this one work so well IMO

[bettysteve322716]

l haven't laughed so hard over breakfast in such a long time..thank you :-)

[AlexJBaldwin]

@bettysteve322716 Hope you didn't snort out any coffee. That would be unfortunate.

[SammEater]

Haha this is perfect, and the script is well done I found to be really funny even though I don't know this "Qantas" stuff. :P

Nice job. :D

[AlexJBaldwin]

@SammEater Downfall, well executed, can transcend the requirement for specific knowledge of the issue being parodied, so thanks.

[Fagottron]

"They're very nice pajamas..."

[AlexJBaldwin]

@Fagottron It was almost too easy when they decided that would be the giveaway.

[TempIate]

There are no social media interns.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@TempIate Not with me at least

[RayLiehm]

Good to see another well timed/scripted Downfall parody :)

[AlexJBaldwin]

@RayLiehm Many thanks Ray, some extremely funny ones out there and a constant source of inspiration

[dryreachgullygal]

Excellent!

Right up there with the response to Qantas tweeting that their #QantasLuxury comp would take years to judge; "Then shut it down & off to FWA for arbitration"

Gold!

[AlexJBaldwin]

@dryreachgullygal Hah - too funny. Binding arbritration only applies if you are willing to be bound

[nagaslrac]

"Ground the whole internet."

He better be quick if he wants to beat the US Government.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@nagaslrac - Right? Have you signed the petitions online yet?

[Karl0010]

suggest you download and save this video.  All the good Qantas ones have a habit of disappearing quite quickly.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@Karl0010 - I have plenty of copies mate, and how random that your first video should be of Paraburdoo - I lived there for about a week when I was 6months old

[shigawahhhhh]

lol

[DigitalGodess09]

Well done and for having us roll on the floor laughing. We are going to post this on our corporate blog and Facebook page as part of our discussions around social strategy and use it presentations from here to Kingdom come. #BigUps

[AlexJBaldwin]

@DigitalGodess09 Well thanks, twas a labour of love.

[rolvon]

Brilliant...............well done.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@rolvon Many thanks, inspiration comes from many places.

[ropate01]

as much as i think the hitler reference for joyce is a bit harsh. GREAT JOB on the script.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@ropate01 Ah but the joy of a meme like Downfall is that historical references are moot. Mr Joyce should be able to see the funny side of it. I know I would

[ropate01]

@AlexJBaldwin point taken! the script is skill mate! impressed.

[StandardLifeboat]

I love it.

I'm a 50-year-plus QF supporter, but less than thrilled with current board & CEO. Happy with the sub-titles, but that may be because it's easier on my tired old eyes.

[pclifto]

Nice one. A few spelling mistakes and the subtitles are a bit big... but well done

[Sandgroperish]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant - Qantas need to hire you!  LOL LOL

[charlesfrith]

Exquisite writing.

[splitty77]

Brilliant ..!!  Excellent work!!

[o00Tigger00o]

Brilliance, well done!

[jtdrummer]

Pyjamas ;)

[poyta40]

The subtitles are too high in shot and too large. It covered people mouths. Very annoying. Couldn't watch to the end.

[AlexJBaldwin]

@poyta40 Great feedback, appreciate the honest critique

[THEORIGINALMATTYC]

lol:) this is a classic!

[000aysh]

Lol great video

[YangsterNo9]

great vid, will share around

[ewetoo]

Awesome, someone actually did what we asked and did a Downfall parody. Bravo :D

[cab825]

"Don't worry Virgin are hiring" that's gold!!!!

[Suemack24]

Bravo, but I love QANTAS, just not Mr Downfall Joyce.

[AlexJBaldwin]

Thanks for the fine comments esp. aceymail, {hat tip} for a nice Simpsons misquote

[aceymail]

To misquote the Simpsons: "Don't worry, Alan. Alex's idea of wit is nothing more than an incisive observation humorously phrased and delivered with impeccable timing."

[AlexJBaldwin]

@aceymail cheers for the simpsons quote

[rosscova]

"Don't worry, Virgin is hiring"... HAHA!

[zmarcthom]

i miss myspace... this is bloody brilliant!

[MrProsperj]

great work

[IceHockey81]

Absolutely brilliant. Myspace, funny cat videos, and even Branson. What doesn't this have?

[moviemad56]

Brilliant!  Incredibly clever and funny - well done ;P

[jhar88]

Joyce is losing... and we are WINNING!

[spectrelives]

100,000 YouTube points for getting this posted up so fast, and with such a clever "script" ;-)

[Airlineatlas]

This is Gold...just Gold.....I love Qantas, but this is superb airline comedy

[Tonsley202]

I love 2:57

[janipun]

I love this! I hope Qantas HQ are in meltdown over this. After the way they've treated us (we're Platinum status!!) they deserve all they get.

[ausxip1]

Oh very clever and funny! Bravo!

[EndorphinsRUS]

Funny! I think the real Joyce is nastier though (& less sane!).

[ACE9942]

lololol :p

[howardhughestoo]

If Joyce has his way, Stalags will look like first class...

[whitestboyalive1]

This is why i love the internet. Fuck Alan Joyce and his egomaniacal executive team.

[RPPOZZ]

This is very, very funny

Top job AlexJBaldwin, if only Australian TV channels had such comedy creativity

[noeley07]

Alan Joyce never looked better.....

[OzziePete1]

God I luv the anarchy of the net at times, lol. #yougetwhatyoudeserve

[handsandinnerthighs]

LOLOL!

[jsarcadia55]

Brilliant!



[roberre164]

Gold! Own goal for QF management. If anyone doubted they are incompetent the #qantasluxury campaign will remove all doubt!

[plasmoske]

AHAHHHHAAHAHAH

[TheSpiralPathways]

BAHAHA! I love social media!

[Katina1001]

Well done on getting this out so quick, impressive!

[806b]

Absolutely brilliant. This will be a classic.

[Bleeter]

THE LULZ... THEY HERTZ

[Actioned65]

Hilarious

[AussieMum99]

Briiliant Just lovbed it Congrats for getting such a clever skit out so fast

[brtrx76]
