[andaraopoulos]

[Avatar230594]

My cousin does the absolute best impression of Maria. My cousin ca impersonate all italtian voices pretty much

[WAH10ler]

WAIT CAN SOM1 TRANSLATE FOR MEEEEEEE

im not greeek

[RoCkiZtah16]

i could only understand Stavros and Maria in this ad.

[daBOODA]

This ad is adorable! Although the couple in the ad are Greek this reminds me of the elders in my Lebanese family .

[Avatar230594]

@daBOODA My cousin is lebanese and she does this to perfection. And we really are like all the other wogswith voice and food and such

[ezfreckles]

of course we all don't speak or understand Greek, but the idea of the ad is that these people care about the food that they grow. We can just take a guess at what they're saying...

I don't mind that I have no idea what's is being said, I still think it's an entertaining ad.

[gekost79]

Stavro, Stavro poulia tha sou fane tis ntomates! Kane kati, allh douleia den kaneis, kane kati!!! hehehehehe :D

[samartz]

gotta luv the greeks

[josh9point0]

Very funny ad. Typical of what we have here in Australia. I love it, and I'm not even Greek! But after seeing Vasili's Garden many times, this is what they're like! :) I dunno why on earth, Woolies didn't put subtitles on the ad!! Now I know what they said, thanks to the translation here & on facebook.

[LeahLushNesss]

I fucken love this add; my family is just like that. I loooooove it :P Fken Greeks are maaaaad :)

[MCDickMeister]

This is exactly like my Baba and Dundo...

[ralphinio4]

[imwithstupid969]

[spadefreak4u]

@imwithstupid969 . Dumbcunt aussie, im lebo and i love this you racist REDNECK DOG. Ask ur mum about uppopisou lololololoolol

[vsboy25]

offensive to people from europe

[cotters1]

What's not to love about this commercial??...This is one of the funniest adverts on the box....my Father's Father had a slightly similar contraption to keep the birds away from their vegetables...and also one for local cats to stop them from climbing onto the roof, when the cats tried to jump onto the ledge to climb onto the roof, the guttering piece which was made of bits of timber would come away and fall on them!!!...Haha...it was very funny...and he was Welsh-Australian by the way!!!

[penguincentral]

I know that is Greek. My mother's family is Greek and all of them understood what was being said. I typed in what I remember of the translation that my mother gave me and someone else corrected me.

I assure you. Ask anyone who speaks Greek, the translation is correct ;)

[penguincentral]

check the comments above. someone has already translated it

[VicRail99]

haha i'm so showing this to my papou. he'll love it ;)

[shaneonya]

Thanks SO much for adding the translation. This is our nr.1 fave right now and we're wondering what they mutter about every time we see it : ) Totally love her way of exclaiming 'StavRO, StavRO' at the beginning!

[SummerKingdom]

that contraption is quite excessive

[ctyr399]

Lol

[HanleyDesigns]

haha awesome!

[fifel111]

maybe i should make one of those for my veggie garden....

[AnthonySiokos]

This ad is great. I laugh every time I watch it!

[vsboy25]

This song is pathetic lacks any real substance and borderlines on making people insane. For gods sake Woolworths put some effort into your hopeless ads and music.

The Company has notorious reputation for its tough budgeting and poor treatment of employees as I think heavyweights like this business should face more tougher union demands on there management group.Racist ad it should be pulled

[zoelovesyoumore]

Theres nothing racist about this ad.

As a Greek Australian i can tell you there's a definate foundation of truth in this depiction of home life. The purpose isn't to offend anyone.

I think your issues aren't with the ad but with Woolworths as a company. Maybe find another outlet instead of labelling things 'racist' to get a point across.

[phaethon1979]

oh the novelty of using weird and wonderful exoticism to sell products! These types of ads create a false sense of familiarity with a particular culture within the multicultural landscape that is Oz, but really it does nothing other than reinforce daft stereotypes.

[lilwoggy]

believe it or not, its not a stereotype.

i know plenty of old italians/greeks who are exactly like that.

[Jullzzzz]

lol

[MAKEDANOS]

What's so funny about it? Seems rather mundane to me.

[mattyrawlo]

Haha lol. STAVROS!! STAVROS!! A classic...

[missnicky89]

lol, i love this ad. it makes me laugh everytime! STAVROS!!

[artlabour]

Maria: (Ah, look at that!!) Stavro! Stavro! Birds!!! Theyll eat your tomatoes. Do something!

Stavros: Oh those bloody birds. Ill shoo them off.

Maria: Youre no good sitting there, do something! Theyll eat all your tomatoes. Look at them. For Gods shake, shoo them away!

Stavros: Ok, I god rid of them.

Maria: Yes? Good are they gone? Good.

Stavros: Now I can get back to reading my newspaper.

Maria: For once you did something right!

[backhandable]

@artlabour I KNEW THAT THERE WAS CONFLICT, ahh the elderly :D

[gissycah]

this add is the best!! just like my family haha. i love being greek

[stephanos88]

haahah that was a fucking top add!

[goldhoarder]

I love this ad, I wish I knew what they were saying, though. Can anyone translate for me? Cheers!

[penguincentral]

Ok, i'll try and explain it to you.

Maria: Stavro! Stavro! The birds are eating the tomatoes. Do something!

Stavros: I'll do something

Stavros: There I did something

Maria: The birds are gone!

Stavros: Now i can get back to reading my newspaper

Maria: For once you did something right!

I don't speak greek, but this is how a relative of mine translated it. If i am wrong, please let me know.

[stephanos88]

he also said:

(inbetween

Stavros: I'll do something

Stavros: There I did something)

Maria: Do something do something!, They'll eat all the tomatoes. Get rid of them, are they gone? well done

*rattling and shaking of cans*

[goldhoarder]

We have a phrase in Italian for people like you: "Eh, bastardo! Basta merda, mama fungulo! Il tuo cazzo ? un brufolo! Va fan Culo, Stronzo!

[penguincentral]
