There’s an old joke that, after Australian ad agency M&C Saatchi created the hugely-successful 100% Pure New Zealand tourism marketing campaign, nobody could come up with anything better for Australia. [Provided, of course, that you don’t count Lara Bingle riding the ‘Where the bloody hell are you?‘ cannon to fame as ‘better’.]
Well, NZ has one-upped us yet again in the form of Air New Zealand‘s new airline safety video, which is a F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S Men In Black homage starring the All Blacks and a couple of the Wallabies for cross-country mateship.
All Blacks suited up in the black suit include Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Steve Hansen, Kieran Read, Keven Mealamu, Sam Whitelock and Israel Dagg.
Even Frank, the talking pug, makes an appearance:
They got Rip Torn, of MIB 1 and 2 fame. They bloody well got him!!!
Prepare yourself, choice watching ahead:
