[KoRnDuDe19886]

LMFAO!!!!! funnest 8 seconds ever :D

[NaturallyRugged]

Still epic 

[tehBLAX]

lmao

[ProjectFlashlight612]

The eight greatest seconds in NZ TV comedy history.

[TheRealMcP]

Eight of the best seconds of television ever recorded.

[Beavis26NZ]

3 people had their bags pinched

[holmieboy1]

@Beavis26NZ 4 actually

[seanclemenger1]

I still laugh when I see this even though I know what's coming!!! Classic Billy T James. He really taught us to laugh at ourselves!!!!

[daleo79]

Whadda crack up. I remember laughing to this when I was only like 7yrs old! We even joked about it as kids......good memories

[TheSativa13]

92 dam i remember him in the late 70 or early 80s

[melvos1love2god]

This is the first bit of Billy T that I saw when I rocked up to Reefton in the winter of 1992, I was watching the tv in the pub and it made me laugh like hell.

[RIPSHITandBUST]

Ouuush!!

[manemustaine]

thats still bloody funny!!

[OleSkoolin]

Gee....... Typical Maori....Hahaha.....

[okiedokies]

Billy did a spoof off a running series of adverts by "lands for bags"... where the advert would always have someone being asked where they got their bag? and they'd always say "lands for bags". Except Billy plays a joker Maori and says he stole it!! LOL. You had to see the original ads at the time and then see this to get the full impact. So Un PC.. There is a "lands for bags" ad on you tube.

[SD78]

@okiedokies

"Where did I get my bag?

LAND FOR BAGS, OF COURSE!"

[Jett1250]

lol

[jacsonstringer]

i've watch this over and over and keep laughing everytime

[iiLaala13]

hahaah remindz me of sum ppls

[TokerMidnight]

Jim you con man drug addict fool

[ssovra]

Unreal, no kiwi could ever forget that one. Choysa

[StrifeIsHere]

that laugh is godlike

[bifkinoz]

Haha the old guy in the background was probably running away

[supasaiyansamoan]

how come theres no set up to this? its pretty much the punchline of the skit without the rest of the skit, lol

[244Ohiro]

@supasaiyansamoan It's a piss take on an old ad. The ad was for a bag retailer, "Land for Bags" which featured "wholesome" models who used the catch phrase: "Where did I get my bag? Lands for Bags of course!"

[supasaiyansamoan]

@244Ohiro lol, sorry for the confusion...i already know the setup, im just wonderin why the clip itself isnt shown in its entirety...just the punchline is ok, but itd be even better with the setup included...but thanks for takin the time to answer my question, lol

[timarulad]

@supasaiyansamoan The only confusion seems to be that you don't realize the "Land for bags" ads were only ever 10 seconds long. This is a perfect spoof of their ads.

[supasaiyansamoan]

@timarulad straight up bro...i dont remember askin for your input, eh?

the length of the ad has nothing to do with my point...if i were to show this to someone who was born in the mid nineties..theyd have no idea, about the previous ads which it spoofd...now if the clip were shown in its entirety...in which its sets up the spoof ad perfectly with a few "legit" patrons before hittin them wit the good ol T-meister...then regardless of whether theyve seen the old ads or not...theyd get the joke...

[timarulad]

@supasaiyansamoan Ok, I get your point. Yeah someone who had never seen the ads before won't get why this clip is so funny. However as it's been more than 20 years since the "Land for bags" ads played, I don't know where you expect the person who uploaded this to actually find those ads.

Those of us who remember the 80s in NZ know why this is so funny.....everyone else will just have to wonder what they missed :-)

[Ellicit01]

@timarulad its still hilarious even though I havent seen the ad that its based on. The reason its so funny to me is because everybody knows maori's always steal shit hahaha

[timarulad]

@Ellicit01 Yeah, you're right, it is funny even if you have never seen the ads it's based on. I don't know why supasaiyansamoan was expecting the uploader to explain the setup....he obviously doesn't understand the stereotypical Maori it's based on :-)

[hoODLUmz1982]

@timarulad your a samoan thats why..

you wouldnt know anything about billy..

soo your the spoof.. idiot... pay your respect boy..

10 seconds is probly longer than your wank hahahaha

you mud blood

[timarulad]

@hoODLUmz1982 WTF are you talking about, did you reply to the wrong person? I think Billy is the greatest comedian we have ever produced. My 1st comment here was to set the record straight with supasaiyansamoan....he's the Samoan you fool, not me.

[hoODLUmz1982]

@timarulad yup it was ment to be 4 that samoan prick

i replyd to the wrong reply.. well as you can see its 4 him

[walkngwithHim]

hahahhahaa werd i get my bag? i pinched it hahaha lovin it

[smilebot1]

lol so das wea it comes 4m! XD

koh! i hears like evri1 say dat!! X]

[mav3r1ck69]

He'd be sad to know that so many can no longer laugh at themselves, imagine what he would do with the PC brigade, now that would be funny..!!!

[okiedokies]

My all time favourite. That laugh... great guy. Sadly missed.

[2000Ajjet]

This is still one of THE funniest skits in NZ comedy history EVER!!! Pity we're too scared to laugh at ourselves anymore.

[WestAucksNZ]

[blakjaknz]

It's only funny if you remember the TV Ads that used to run about the same time for a bag company (Strand bags? Something for Bags? I can't remember) who had the punchline...

"Where'd I get my bag? [insert right store name] of course..."

Good value :) RIP BILLY T.

[blakjaknz]

"Land for bags of course!"

Should've read the older posts. Whoops..

[venais133]

[goldsak]

A parody of an ad for a retail outlet that sells bags. The original (there are a few and they are all irritatingly simple) goes something like "Where did I get my bag? *name of retailer* of course!"

[breebw]

"Where did I get my bag?"...

"Land for Bags of course!"

..after all these years :)

[breebw]

"Lands for Bags of course!"

With an "S".

:)
