Apparently Not-Banned Nike Commercial

[BadAssDrummer001]

If this is how soccer was really played everyone would watch

[pinkhippie135]

@BadAssDrummer001 almost everyone already watches it, you must be blind or something, only in America so people not watch it much, but in the souhern part itis getting A LOT more popular

[jmanzkickin]

[SoulAssassinable]

[142kingsman]

22 of the ninja robots saw this

[eeskin]

[95bullseye]

too bad soccer is stupid

[Jokester1338]

haha why would this be banned this shit is sweet

[claracorrmorrison]

Not banned

[RingSight91]

Didn't air in the US because none of the players would have been recognizable. These are all UEFA Champions League players, from like 1999 to 2001 if memory serves.

[mikepownzall]

I remember seeing this in  the us

[Ieecher]

banned for what, davids face ? ..

[snowman1133]

That was a whole movie put into a 90 second clip!

[remieres]

awesome commercial but only 2 of 8 guys made it to the escape chopper? oh well in the words of Mortal Kombat "TOASTY!!!"

[1aeromed]

It was not on in the US because the US does not follow the sport..... I

[dangeraux1]

who is the Dreadlocks guy ?

I thought that the video is amazing .

[HecticGlenn]

@dangeraux1 Edgar Davids - dutch football player, no longer plays now (too old). He wears those orange glasses as he suffers from glaucoma. I recognised Lilian Thuram and Luis Figo too but didn't catch the others...

[dardo1201]

@HecticGlenn Totti and that french black guy wich name i forgot i think

[Raafje84]

@dangeraux1 Edgar Davids played for Ajax, AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Juventus, Internazionale and Tottenham Hotspur

[ultralight9]

to brutal i guess. i never did see it here in the usa..i liked it.

COYW:-) & DC-UNITED

[allmywoundsandmends]

i agree, why would this commercial be banned. it's not even that violent. they're fighting robots instead of real people for one thing...

[Zeroforce14]

This was freakin' awesome, how come they don't make commercials like that here?

[u3017913]

why WOULD this commercial get banned?? coz they were playing soccer so offensively? or because the states dont produce many good soccer players so ban anything that shows a US weakness? or because it was so "violent"??hmmm....

[TheLeftie13]

lol okay it was an okay commercial...

[Oberwoot]

[LamaPaj]

I have a feel that a lot of people do so.

[milindian]

@pathaanx it aired and was banned later. I could care less about the view count....I posted this like 5 years ago - I totally forgot it was still up lol. But thanks for correcting me (thats why i changed the title) :-)

[mtluongo]

maybe it's banned because of mussolini references and fascist idealogy - it's filmed in buildings he put in rome.................

[DSparamus]

oh wow lol

[Boumante]

why would it be banned for that?not everything that mussolini did is terrible! and i hate the man

[youwinmagic]

That is probably the best commercial I have ever seen!

[lovedapizza]

.....well! it was cool a little od at the end and the plot...but ok.

[feelingalittleocdish]

That was awesome! Why is it "banned"? It's so.... action-y.

[frozenpandaman]

awesome!

[gunchibaiyya]

It's called "banned" because then more people want to watch it. I've been suckered into really lame videos because of this "banned" attraction.

[rockinman61896]

y was it banned that was frekin awesom

[declanlfc]

that wasn't bannes i saw that on telle

[megamanex888]

before it was banned?

[flurubis]

it never had been banned. i saw this on tv in 99 or 98

[mattROKX]

Everyone asking why was it banned, it's a little violent twords the end, don't ya think?

[jstephensen]

not really, people fell over when a soccer ball hit them and a robot exploded. i suppose you could call that violent, but it would be a stretch.

[XDbuggabooDX]

And apperantly it was not a banned video. =D

[Jiga1]

It was NOT banned... at least on the italian TVs

[ccchrv]

[Auhin01]

[jianliang22]

something i always wondered, wouldn't it be easier if they used their hands? lol..

[mexicomexico212]

thats the most stupid comment that i had never readed before

[XDbuggabooDX]

agreed but you gotta remember. They are soccer stars they neva use their hands, It's there lives to use there feet at all times. Plus you can't throw as far as you kick =D

[jianliang22]

lol, i'm just kidding, although the truth is we all know someone that used his hand, maradona! haha

[abba149]

[sexiijaja]

[tcifello08]

[mastersbk]

[Aproxy]

That was damn cool.

[Ronisk69]

[Desilicious27]

this was the stupidest commercial ever... and I also think it's stupid that it was banned, there was nothing wrong with it, except for the stupidity...

[iEatSockz]

Wow this was awesome, wish I saw this on tv.

[ereyes47]

[salmoms]

why the hell would this be banned?

[qbrain2]

well, in the netherlands they would like probably say stuff as: "it is not good to break into a building, steal something and then blow up the building.. so we ban the commercial"

I know, it sucks, but hey, that's where youtube's for ;)

-Q

[laulamejo]

[gangstabrat114]

[Hsoccer11]

[enem84]

Luis Figo, Edgar Davis, Oliver Bierhoff, Thuram, Josep Guardiola, Totti...Hidetoshi Nakata, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole...and the coach is Louis VanGal

[Aydee2020]

dwight yorke is retired right?

[5n1p3rSmoke]

awsome

[BeyondDazzled]

Maybe it was banned because the ending could remind of 9/11? I dunno though.

[SASMOUNTAINTROOPER]

0:43

Very symbolic :P

Strong arms xD

[EB88]

I don't see why it should be banned \:(

[dolemite0]

I dont think it was banned, I saw this commercial in the Netherlands on tv all the time, when it was new.

[mikeythespiky12]

america

no one bans commercials anywhere else

[fobulousfl1p]

it was banned cause of 9/11...

[ethankcon]

because its so awesome we can't handle it.

[CardinalDextrous]

Ah I remember this being on the news - a bunch of world class pro footballers broke into the FA's research laboratory and stole the new ball from all the ninja robot guards. I guess this must be the CCTV footage. Not bad...

[indzone12]

wasnt banned in ireland?!!!

an what an ad

[MutantEnemyGirl]

The ninja guys looked exactly like the ones in season 5 of Angel.

Why was this banned though?

[ADRIANSprofile]

Cuz they were doin a robbery basicly and it showed that robbers are better in Nikes

[MutantEnemyGirl]

Wow, that's very... reasonable?

*rolls eyes* Some of the censorship is just so over the top.

[Posevin]

HAhahaah ur sick man! :D robbers are better in Nikes hahah :D

[cnoox]

This is what happened to me when I tryed to buy a Nike football

[Gkt825]

so everyone else including the other soccer stars

just blow up?

[cloudzers777]

awsome

[snygtom]

Maybe it was banned because there was a bit violence? I dont know just guessed...

[EbonyCrow]

Was it banned because of some sort of disrespect toward the ninja? I don't understand why it was banned, because there's loads of ads more disrespectful than this.

[mroozee]

This is actually based on a true story.

[BWood8807]

uhh why are guys that were gaurding the ball in kendo armor?

[akajambas]
