Thats the way we are... if u don't like it piss off and go watch some other airlines videos... Rico is funny and thats all mate don't get all murderous and angus hes just a puppet get a life man...

[weldonwin]

I saw True Grit at the Embassy theater when I was in Wellington in Febuary of this year

[superjta59]

I be on your back.

I'll be black.

I'll be black kind of sound like a reference to the All Blacks rugby team.

One thing I like about Wellington is the colour all over the place.

[superjta59]

You're right Rico, Peter Jackson's movies were mostly made in Wellington. I want to go to Wellington sometime after what you said. I'll start by visiting the Embassy Theatre and walking past the bucket fountain on Cuba Street.

[GamefReakk3000]

i love it rico is cool

[holtonmatt]

Loving these clips!

[kritikl]

Who is the genius that decided to Rep NZ with a Muppet? I think someone has been smoking Snoops stash.

[abulli]

[yathompodastmutten]

@abulli Pity he's meant to be a non-descript South American...

[ainsleywainsley]

is this rico thing supposed to be a copy of the lemurs in the Madagascar movie

[Logiebear42]

Worst ad campaign ever.

[Gemma18992]

Haha ! Ill be black... Oh Ill be on your back

[utopin]

please don't make number two save $ and time

[GameChicky]

"your warts nightmareeee" LMAO <3 rico. funny sonofabitch!

[ChurrStuz]

To all the people who keep mentioning road trip is spelt wrong.. You guys are dicks. You obviously haven't seen a Rico youtube video before. I've only seen two and I know he has a filthy minded way about things. It's just a advertising gag. Jeez.

[colejohnston13]

they spelt road wrong "rod" hehe

[mizonedrink]

@colejohnston13 hahahaha how do you fuck that up lol epic fail!!!!!!

[colejohnston13]

@mizonedrink lawl. i kno aye. just epic.

[MrTr0llalert]

@colejohnston13 you deserve a sarcastic slow clap.

[assasin733]

@colejohnston13 they r spelling it like rico would say it stupid idiots

[edyb8888]

asians would love this

[lobos1969]

I hope Air NZ didn't pay for these adds.

[colejohnston13]

this has been promoted for a long time, and yet it only has 14717 veiws

[Spootmaker]

Roadtrip is spelt wrong, and what was the point of this? It doesn't really promote Wellington at all and has no development what so ever. Jumbled, boring and terribly made

[XXY4Life1]

@Spootmaker You're right! Unless it's a deliberate "see if you're really watching" test? LOL Anyway AirNZ is promoting Wellington, the nerve centre of New Zealand politics, justice & filim making! :)

[thomasvinen01]

@Spootmaker watch some other videos rico is funny cause he has an accent and says funny stuff eg the spelling of "rodtrip" so shh

[Spootmaker]

@thomasvinen01 I don't care if he's funny, he's supposed to be promoting Wellington. He's not

[assasin733]

wellingtons boaring any way no 1 would go there even if this was a good video

[nzmusicvideos]

@thomasvinen01 you forgot to put the "it" on the end of your last comment..

[XXY4Life1]

Everytime I upload a video with "Bodies Like Ours" or "BLO" in the tags I get this one as a "Featured Video" What has this video go to do with persons with Disorders of Sex Development and their off YouTube discussion group?

Any I watched it, is it a featured video because I'm from New Zealand? Anyway yeah not bad AirNewZealand, promote Wellington, why not? Does the scruffy teddy bear get to play cricket in any segment? That game is always more exciting in the Wellington wind! :)

[tiapaki13]

WOOOOOOO! Uncle Para's sculpture work at 0.30 , mean Maori, mean

[Marrianneism]

All these negative peps should just go bury heads in the sand,they dont have to watch the vids

[Marrianneism]

The only good thing about Wellington is the Caketin come to Westport in Buller Rico Coasters have more character and more interesting things to see.

[3kour]

frankly just creeped me out

[SD78]

LOL@Air New Zealand hyping this steaming turd of a failed viral campaign....

[stewarta01]

Its true. Here in NZ we have nothing to do. So we make films like this.

[kiwicafe]

I was born in Wellington, I film it and photograph it, I have lived in NY, Sydney, LA and am now back in NZ and this just makes my hair curl, this is so bad, it's not funny.

[WeirdFishesArpeggi]

furry borat

[ultemcia]

this is shit

[flyingkiwi1985]

Did you know some of the biggest bollocks busters movies has been made right here in Wellington?

[AwesomeKiwiAnthony]

Discusting muppit

!!!

AirNZ I am saddened with this.

[caleb1823]

err wtf is this crap

[rebecca0867]

Straight up queer and disturbing... and im a New Zealander..

[Zombie101ipop]

@rebecca0867 totaly agree and same

[ampallang7]

I mean it does have a Jafa actor innit, yea right

[ampallang7]

Geez i'm stern sometimes but this is funny ummm, i gues its about what poeole overseas remember about wellyville, keep ya sign and all the grey or the hipsters but hey if it pisses of the yokals then yip maybe think twice, still friggin funy, 2 meee.

[Ashvegian]

I really liked the first 2 or 3 of the Rico videos, but lately they've been pretty shit. Did someone fire his writer or something?

[Surfboarder97]

gay!!!!!!!

[maddiemidget11]

im scared.

[beanladder]

if i knew nothing about wellington , watching this video wouldn't have really helped me much. i love air new zealand but the whole rico thing has been taken a little to far, he has stopped being a marketing tool and has become a useless gimmick. it was cute for a while guys but this needs to stop.

[SnoadCinema]

lolwut? its a squirrel?

Looks like Alvin from the Chipmunks on crack : |

[panzerlord148]

what does this have to do with tool

[kiwirap]

is Rico a possum? he might get run over or shot in the head welcome to New Zealand...

the whole funny puppet thing might work provided the clip wasn't so boring and un funny wonder how much it cost for them to promote this clip on youtube..yet they could have payed a 5 year old to come up with a better script

[noelsoong777]

A rodtrip to redtube?

[tommitchellnz]

I think its cool :).

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

Its nice to see a company/airline with a sense of humor but, as a Wellingtonian I would like to see more of the city I guess...

[regansavage]

Lame lame lame. This and the execrable new Rico-starring safety video are products of someone's incredibly odd decision to p*ss away years of very hard work in building a premium brand that staff, customers and New Zealanders are proud of. Totally baffling.

[BroughtonTV]

Some ad/marketing liar will translate it to them as 'controversial' and "look, it's had 10, 000 views on YouTube!"... It's unfathomable that it got made, grown up people sat around and thought this up, wrote the script, others at Air NZ agreed to it and dozens of others got involved making it and selling it. As incredible as it is sad.

[Narutoer321]

Why does the title say ROD?

[paatricko]

Boring

[magichour76]

I think Rico should be retired and those that came up with him fired.

[KorrosionBeats]

@magichour76 I agree, It doesn't seem to have a defined demographic, and hte comedy styles very dated, I hope air new zealand read these comments and take them for what they are, relevant customer feedback and although some is quite harsh its a public forum, personally I think I could do better, air new zealand must have a pretty decent budget and this is cringeworthy

[cysticplum]

ppl who go on about how gay this is need to stop being so dam stingy and go get a sense of humor

[Bwah2012]

LAME AND GAY



[graywackeproductions]

Not cute, not relevant and not constructive. I feel embarrassed to have a furry Borat as an ambassador to my country.

[PearceFamilyNZ]

Boring and pathetic.

[AnthonyMimming]

this is the gayest mascot for any brand ive ever seen, im embarrassed to live in this country

[NESSAdoxx]

Who controls rico???



[NESSAdoxx]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA rico's acting is funny good

[Be1iEveDr3AmAnDPeAcE]

Three words - What.The.Fuck

[CATDOGEMO9]

wtf?

[fastestcars2010]

wellywood



[paulballz]

you dont know sh*t about wellington stick to pre school videos

[tribblesnz]

Boring.

[therealdrbyte]

Sounds like another Brazilian overstayer to me

[gensexercises]

this is so cute and funny!

[hoogenstein]

so bad

[JoanBeatrington]

What did i just watch?

[TheMadmoggy]

cool Music!!!

[MaroonOpal]

one word:LAME followed by more words "pointless, crass and WTF?

[redpictures]

I Like Rico, but amazing that you have used shots that are out of focus... especially on the 'Action' sequence. Hope you haven't paid to much for it, ha, what am I saying, of course you paid too much - like every other client of a NZ advertising/marketing/producti­on agency, you know no better.

[girlwhoclicked]

This has very little to do with Wellington, long boring and frankly stupid....

[utubenz576]

@girlwhoclicked looks like someone hasn't been to that country

[tiestoeuropa]

@girlwhoclicked Please take classes in HUMOUR. Who cares if this video does not show Wellington in it's best light. It is a video about AirNZ's greatest employee - Rico. Hence the focus on his cheeky personality. We love Rico all around the globe.

[waiholawoman]

Not enough of the city! Is this supposed to be promoting Wellington or Rico? Still like Rico though...

[thomasvinen01]

@waiholawoman lol well actually i think the answer is rico

[blackflarez]

JUST CAUSE 2

[1Matio1]

probably shouldve had more touring the actual city... =/

[01freezer01]

This sux dog shit!!! stop disgracing my city

[mikeycbd]

very cool but for what it's worth too long in the cinema. 

[hackerztz]

soo funnyyyy

[myastroflight]

Why are Air New Zealand persisting with this revolting fur ball campaign when they KNOW we all hate it. So much of the released material is offensive, and casts New Zealand in a bad light.

Are they trying to bankrupt the airline and destroy tourism?

The executives who authorised this campaign should be fired immediately, and the advertising agency, who are all clearly drugged right out of their tiny brains, deserve to be blacklisted by the rest of corporate New Zealand!

[Bwah2012]

@myastroflight exactly

[bentsucka]

Dry. Dry as.

[StonedAssassinNZL]

This sucks balls

[airsquare]

Air New Zealand + a Sesame Street vampire-squirrel cross...? I don't get it.

[TheLogiebeast]

hahaha bollocks busters... love it!

hahaha il be black

[augustus765976597859]

I dont find it offensive personally, just lacking any humour or interest or marketability. That will be the first and last time I see a rico ad with any luck.

[BroughtonTV]

I just took up YouTube's offer to "Report This Video As Inappropriate" When it said "select a reason" I chose "Violent and Repulsive" and under that category I chose "Promotes Terrorism" which seemed appropriate, and quite possible really.

[BroughtonTV]

NZ Herald ran a story about how people were embarrassed by the Rico adverts (for reasons abundantly clear, unless, of course, there's something wrong in your head, like Fife or some advertising sycophant). There were defensive comments from some marketing idiot, but was otherwise damning, you'd think it a serious article. But THEN, at the end of the article, there was a Herald offer to give away 10 Rico shirts... Companies with NZ in their names should be restricted from

being so embarrassing.

[augustus765976597859]

Its certainly not going to sell any more plane seats, and I think the foreign urban non-outdoorsy demographic (ie untypical prospective tourist that I guess they are going for) will find it as pissweak as everyone else.

[augustus765976597859]

@eBaY666 Its the first time Ive bothered to see this rico shite, and to be honest , callow plebs with a well developed herd instinct like yourself are exactly the sort of person they make it for. The problem is mine and most people's sense of "humor" is rather more developed. This is just try-hard rubbish.

[ROFLRocketz1]

BALLS TO YOU airnewzealand

[Midnight8D]

FUCK YOU AIRNEWZEALAND

[mymumissostupid]

........this is kinda embarrassing. 

[guyfarley1]

I thought it wasn't too bad, not much about Wellington, but I still liked it

[1damnativ]

Please say this wasn't paid for in nz by nzers... What the fuck is this shit..

[MyWilma123]

What a waste of money! Wasn't funny, wasn't informative, it was boring!

[Nutteh07]

pretty sure all I got from this is 'NEW ZEALANDERS SOUND LIKE COUNT VON COUNT IF HE WAS STONED.'

Which we really don't.

[ObliviousMuch]

This shit is whack, dude. What a sad way to promote a country...T_T

[GKFLYGUY]

Rico is going from Bad to Worse.

[augustus765976597859]

This is shit, seriously its neither funny or clever or evolved or postmodern o whatever the fuck some pale fag in advertising thinks it is, its just a fail on all counts.

[snowboardnjew]

how do u advertise a country where the people bitch about having 2 pay for free advertising on the internet?

[Midnight8D]

@snowboardnjew no you idiot its all over the tv and everything -_-

[augustus765976597859]

@snowboardnjew : free advertising because its on the internet? Who do you think paid someone to do this shite you dunce

[Braduxx]

Lol im on your back! Lmfao!

[sefa274]

What the f&$k is this Rico shit... What a disgrace!

[laianchi]

come air nz you can do better than this play kiwi movies only exciting ones not boreing. our country is cool so bring a coat.

[beachedwhale122]

I don't understand the accent, I find it irritating. This 'promotion' doesn't convince me to come to New Zealand or fly with Air New Zealand. :(

[reizablade]

LMAO!! I'll be black :-)

[gtur007666]

wht a creepy lil f**ka

[jeebersjumpincryst]

And how the hell can Rico afford all that flying with Air NZ?! That kind of mileage with Air NZ would bankrupt even Bill Gates!

[jeebersjumpincryst]

This is the first time i've clicked on an air nz rico "promoted" vid, only cause todays herald gave it a bad review. I knew that without having to ever click it - and I do a LOT of youtubing. But it's actually much worse than i imagined, and I'm embarrassed to be kiwi. Air NZ - its only getting the hits it is cause youre having it constantly promoted by youtube, not on its own merit. C'mon - you ppl can do better than this nonsense!!!

[MitsiMits]

@jeebersjumpincryst You, and the rest of the PC brigade, need to get a sense of humour and stop being so anal. There's nothing wrong with this, or nay other video Air NZ produces using Rico. If you possessed a personality that allowed you to laugh once in a while, you'd probably realize that and stop the bitching. If this video is all it takes to send you into a state of embarrassment, then you have some serious issues. Get over yourself.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@MitsiMits hi mitsimits - yeah it occurred to me that i was probably taking it all a bit seriously, myself included, but I still reckon its a pretty poor attempt by air nz. Just not my type of humour, if indeed its intended to be funny. Looks like our points of view differ, and looks like you may have taken a youtube comment a bit too serious... But its great we have the right to air our views without fear of anything real aye? Love NZ. ;)

[MitsiMits]

@jeebersjumpincryst " looks like you may have taken a youtube comment a bit too serious.."...this coming from someone who gets easily embarrassed over a video?...makes a whole lot of sense :)

[MaxiTaxi26]

0:36 I have seen that artist and he is absolutely amazing

[seanhinton]

I lasted 12 seconds, what's your high score?

[JollyHollyLolly]

does this puppet scare anyone else??

[SerotoninNZ]

rod trip? looking for rod lovers? see aussie

[FIABFOS]

Is Rico gay?

[ph33rlus]

Your warts NIGHTMARE!!!!! Legen...dary!

[22871987]

Ahahahahahha you are so ricolirous!

Funny Funny....5star is for yous rico.

[cappee1966]

OMG I hope my tax dollars aren't helping to pay for this

[amphilex]

@cappee1966 Get a life dude!

[BigSyz]

I wanna Rico doll! (*cough*... I mean, Action Figure.)

[killakrybaby]

"I be black" o sorry sorry,

"I pee on your back"

[geegang]

Nice!!

[GFPIE]

Awesome!
