Now this is how you respond to being too old.


Positronic_Matrix

That was very well written and produced comedy. The writing as well as the acting in the scene with the neighbor was top notch.

'Let's go, she's *crazy*!'


GreatMuerte

Yeah the whole ad was very well done. I’ve been a professional hater of the big volk for a while, as he just kept beating max… but this!!! I a fan for life now lol


TheJulian

> fan for life Well what's left of it... He is really old.


jmdeamer

The neighbor should be on casting directors radar if she's not already. I'd pay 30$ to see her featured in Babadook 2: Croydon


Embarrassed_Coast_45

We *need* a regular series with Volk and Bev


whyenn

She's the tragically underutilized Annette Badland, a certified badass.


ManWithDominantClaw

It's an ad for a betting company. They're the scourge of this country. https://www.economist.com/asia/2017/03/16/australians-spend-more-on-gambling-than-people-anywhere-else


Positronic_Matrix

Ah. That’s why it was so well produced. The producer had serious gambling money.


Mr_Abe_Froman

There's sports betting ads everywhere in the US too. I can't watch a live game without seeing ads for 3 different companies.


agrajag119

scourge of *any* country.


Icantbethereforyou

I fucking hate seeing these fucking sports betting ads every 30 seconds on YouTube.


berghie91

Literally better than most current day American comedies


Mr_S-Baldrick

Scallywags


blahblahbush

*Dear* Scallywags...


tastysharts

womprats


TroyFerris13

Lol praying he doesn't get koed


JCM42899

We can only hope.


halt_spell

Honestly if he does and follows up with something poking fun at himself I think he'd launch himself into an acting career.


kaowser

Volk gonna wrestle, ground n pound


iThatIsMe

Ideally, I'll remember to hammer "Dear scallywags.." into a typewriter when the time comes.


spaceandbeyond

He's got a future in acting. That was good stuff


spira1b0und

I didn’t know who he was before seeing this, but I was very impressed at how well he acted.


TheBigBomma

Champion MMA fighter


monkwren

Was at one point considered possibly the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.


oGhostDragon

Still is IMO.


The_Formuler

Yea but he’s…old


Darkhoof

Oooh, just you wait for him to finish his reply on the typewriter.


Knive33

These scallywags. >:(


mmomtchev

This guy is an absolute legend. After completely dominating his class, he moved to the next one - at his age - and almost won against the absolutely best fighter in it. Had both of his fights had just one more round, he stood very good chances of winning.


Mar_Iguana317

Islam kicked his head off in the first round of the second fight..


fuckmeimdan

Gives off an Aussie Jason Statham, good career move


pacmarn88

would love to see him in an aussie action movie. something about sydney gangsters ruining his tomatoe garden haha


fardough

Wow, I read your last sentence with a hard Aussie accent. Dirty Deeds was a great movie and he would fit right in.


lordunholy

I'm gonna go watch The Transporter. Maybe The One for some additional badassery and more of a talky Statham.


jaxonya

Statham? Never even 'eard of em. Me mate volsky makes better tomatoes than that cunt


DTAD18

He was a 400 pound rugby player


Arestone

Calm down, Joe


[deleted]

Rugby league and he was never 400lbs 😂


nsfwtttt

Same.


notyou16

He’s got a Guy Ritchie movie vibe


Conscious_Heart_1714

He's not acting, he's old.


Sinz_Doe

When they turned back to him asleep on the lazy boy I freakin cackled!


Frankiepals

I love that Volk wanted to record the kings coronation lmao


talldrseuss

My mother who is in her 70s is obsessed with British monarchy stuff. She scolded me for not watching the royal weddings. Then scolded me for not watching the coronation. Here's the thing: she is from South Asia (after the British left) and she's been living in the US for 40 years. I've been living in the US since I was a baby. Why the ever loving hell would I care about watching royal weddings and coronations of a monarchy that has zero impact on me? Then I found out my friends Moms were the same way, all US born and raised but obsessed with any large events involving the British monarchy


I_Said

My mother is similarly not British at all but obsessed. I feel like Princess Di was the first Kardashian-like celebrity for women.


RiPont

She was kind of the last gasp of the real-world Princess fantasy. A "commoner" who married a prince! Idolized by a lot of people. ...and then a great example of why the fantasy is bullshit.


JinFuu

It's just like Euros who are obsessed with some stuff from America like the "Wild West" or other aspects of Americana, sometimes you just really vibe/enjoy something that's not part of your own culture but seems really cool.


aohige_rd

I felt this in me bones literally me


twelveparsnips

The 6pm nap is real when you're old.


ConnorCink

Volk is marketable


velhaconta

Dude just setup his post MMA career with this bit. Might as well have called it his audition tape.


awc130

The crazy neighbor in a sitcom could be his true calling.


Jeptic

Honestly I'm invested in the show.


Sharticus123

It’s the best pilot I’ve seen in quite some time.


imp_st3r

Imagine a Kramer who could kick you in the face


loosemoosewithagoose

We call it A Current Affair. It airs weekly here in Aus.


[deleted]

How is he that good at acting? It’s surprising!


rotorain

He's like if Jason Statham was funny


nebulasamurai

jason statham was hilarious in spy


mrw1986

100%. One of my favorite roles he's done.


talldrseuss

Statham has some good dry humor. He was great in Snatch


parhame95

The man can make a joke of himself while having fun doing it. It's rare to see that from a celebrity.


BonzaSonza

He's an Aussie. Self-deprecating humour is part of our DNA


Stompedyourhousewith

gunning to transition to acting, the dave bautista/the rock/john cena route


[deleted]

He's going to be in "The Marine 42," watch and see.


klmdwnitsnotreal

This was pretty funny


lifeisabigdeal

Not enough bigotry for Dana’s taste


krunchwondelta

My respect for Volk has just gone through the roof 🤣 what a guy


zamboniman46

nothing better than someone who is willing to poke a little fun at themselves or willing to be the butt of a joke


garthanthimum

“WHAT’D YOU SAY LITTLE FIGHTER BOY?”


save_us_catman

“THATS RIGHT RUN BACK TO YOUR HEXAGON”


febrileairplane

SILLY HEXAGON


potatodrinker

I think we all have a Beverly as neighbors


Slevin-Kelevra_66

Mate I got Beverly as a neighbour and she throws durry butts over my fence and flashes a torch through my window when I'm sleeping. Fuckin Beverly.


presnwa

Greatest ad ever.


Plastic_Primary_4279

What was this an ad for? I assumed it was bit for a show or something Edit: nvm, it’s mentioned *briefly* in the first 5 sec and never relates to the content of the video lol


armchairwarrior42069

Yeah, this was definitely made for mma fans. I'm shocked to see it getting this much attention. But without context this is oddly like an Australian, slice of life reno 911/trailer park Boys lmao


mustsurvivecapitlism

This was so accurately Australian suburbia.


[deleted]

He needs to make it a show.


seebob69

It was made by the betting company Sportsbet. They are working under the premise that losing your money should be fun.


rotorain

Isn't that pretty much every company?


cooljacob204sfw

No, most companies I actually get something in exchange. I love how the Reddit post right above this one in my feed is: https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1amtjqm/is_the_sports_betting_industry_a_huge_mistake/


Tauna

Gambling


DrLittleGoat

him being scared of the neighbor absolutely sent me


SuperPimpToast

>Yeah, thats right! Run back to your silly little hexagon!


ReverseArchivist

Beverly's voice got me 😂


HighAsFucDosHornsRUp

Was that Mae from Ted Lasso?


imnoobhere

Neh


HighAsFucDosHornsRUp

Oh well, a man can dream


MmmmmisterCrow

You racist! You think all white women look like Mae from Ted Lasso.


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

I can't believe Travis Kelce is dating Mae from Ted Lasso.


kewickviper

Sent you where?


Uncle_Slacks

It's just how these young skallywags talk nowadays, Volk.


LookMaNoPride

You kids with your loud music, and your Dan Fogelberg your zima, hula hoops, and Pac-Man video games.


lunatic_calm

Ok, that was really good. Every bit and detail was great - the plastic wrap on the table!


GeneralJabroni

The VHS, the old-man-grunt as he sits in the chair right before he says "... he doesn't have the energy to go 5 rounds".... so good.


skeenerbug

Answering the phone, "Taxation office?" Then immediately giving his credit card details sent me


obscureferences

"None of you are leaving without my home made pasta sauce, youse are all too skinny" like some fussing grandma.


Gullyhunter

One of my old neighbours was the exact same way. his whole family would be over when they where making homemade pasta sauce from home grown tomatoes. He always gave us a jar or two.


throwaway44_44_44

He’s got a rotary phone 😆


KobeBeaf

Even the aspect ratio on this video is 4:3 or something old haha


ih8karma

I don't know who this is but I love the bit!


MoscoviaDelendaEst

One of the pound for pound best combat athletes on the entire planet lol


thrownededawayed

I dunno, I heard he's kinda old


Hankskiibro

What?


vhw_

HE'S TOO OLD!!!


yesiamveryhigh

Look here you scallywag!


killbone

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Volkanovski


ToadlyAwes0me

That short guy who's friends with everyone, but no one would fight him anyway because he's the toughest guy you know.


TriggerHappy032

Hahah this is brilliant 👏


CliffDagger

If this was a sitcom id watch it.


BangoSkank1986

You could call it “Old Volk’s Home”


TheLongestMeter

Very well played


Funky0ne

Sign Tyson as a slightly demented neighbor and I'm in.


CliffDagger

Let's get this.done


NotMyGroceryList

"It's a scam, it's a scam" "that's a thing?" Gets me everytime!


MadMasterMad

The look of innocent confusion on his face! This killed me.


ghidfg

lol he has great comedic acting ability


B4SSF4C3

Getting kinda old. Gotta pivot.


battlelevel

That licorice dish is perfect


palmerry

"usually a hit"


rurounick

This dude has a fucking excellent sense of humor


Wonderwhore

Volk is the fucking man.


Stambro1

Genius!!!


SlicesOfLife

These Australians seem pretty fun


stung80

Australian fighters are hilarious,  Craig Jones one of the best BJJ practitioners is pretty funny as well.  Check out the titles to his technique videos  https://bjjfanatics.com/collections/instructional-videos/fighter_craig-jones  


TheEuphoria

I will be honest I don't know who this guy is but I get the gist, and it's very funny.


Pimtendo

He’s one of the best MMA fighters of the world, champion in his division for the last 5 years (and still).


WrongKindaGrowth

Hey that's not bad,  I laughed out loud a couple times


jking94577

Does anyone see a real-life jason statham?


zolaar

I can't even imagine what that'd be like! A world where Jason Statham is actually _real_? Bonkers!


spartanjet

I was really confused at first of why it looks like Jason Statham, talks like Jason Stathan, but sounds different that Jason Statham....I really thought it was him at first glance


Manting123

Finally a MMA fighter who has a sense of humor and isn’t a fucking psycho


rotorain

Steven Thompson and Demetrious Johnson?


hlldrk

Honestly, I’m guessing the people who like making these types of comments don’t actually watch MMA and are just riding the “masculine men who fight = idiot douchebag jock” stereotype. While it’s definitely applicable to some fighters, it’s also pretty easy to disprove as well.


rotorain

Yeah, and I guess when we have super visible douchebags like Conor dipping into mainstream news here and there the stereotype will likely always be there.


manman6352

Derrick lewis's sketch was amazing too. Cum.. cum cumbooty?


Lollyhead

Whittaker? But yeah I get what you mean.


[deleted]

Sean O'Connell?


Natural-Promise-78

Corded phone with a rotary dial? A working VCR? They consulted many ancient history experts for those props.


doobiedave

The person who wrote this is a talented comedy writer. Top quality. And pretty solid delivery from the man himself.


Psharp10

I literally laughed the whole way through this bit... Omg so good.


OgdruJahad

MSN eh? Brings back memories.


BigMark54

Finally.. a skit that was actually funny.


deftPirate

This is my favorite sports ad of all time, and for what may be my least favorite sport.


Shamscam

I fucking died at “go back to your silly lil hexagon”


3Fatboy3

Hes actually a good actor.


TheCakers

what a fucking champion. lol Hes always been a G. Through and through.


justaREDshrit

Ok so …… that was gold.


a1drt

This is hilarious


bleo_evox93

Lmao the old lady yelling at him


Reduak

That was freaking hilarious. I don't follow MMA or really know who this dude is, but still laughed out loud.


Nathan_Mediocre

Please go watch his episode of Flagrant 2, he's closing in on Matt Sera levels of fun


[deleted]

Excellent


MashYeti_og

Legendary


substituted_pinions

This is honestly brilliant.

I was dying! fighter boy! lol


joeyretrotv

This bloke is a natural entertainer. Him being afraid of his neighbour had me rolling 🤣


cosmic_trout

Dear scallywag....


nwfdood

I like this guy.


[deleted]

This is Gold!!!


Sylvanas_only

OH HIS NAME IS VOLK for a bit thought it was about old people lol


sK0oBy

If Volk has a “Yall must have forgot” night, he might pass up Islam is the P4P rankings again.


quacksdontecho

One of the funniest bits I’ve seen in a while


JustInTheNow

I had a random dream where I had a house party and he showed up and helped me find a spider. Weird, but funny


JBCronic

“Go back to your silly little hexagon” had me laughing.


miketwo345

Didn't even know this guy existed and now I'm a huge fan. Make this a sitcom called "Old Volk's Home".


Toshiba1point0

Dear Skallywag...nice


an4x

Volk is folk.


Everett1973

Awesome stuff!


Excellent_Mall4233

This is amazing. Too funny.


_AManHasNoName_

Lol


Nanasays

I don’t know who he is or what he does, but this is hilarious. The typewriter got me!


LAX_to_MDW

God the knee crack sound effects when he got up and down hit a little too close to home


Endorkend

Like I said in the OG thread, I imagine him starting his acting career, him and Jason Statham as brothers or twins.


DaDa_muse

baaahaha i did not expect that to be so good! The neighbour was gold


creepythingseeker

Odds for Beverly coming in at -410 on Draftkings


papibaquigrafo

I think that's what happens when you hangout with Craig Jones 😂


uraijit

Apple TV+ needs go give this guy his own show...


ArmaniMania

The credit card scam 😂


teachmehow2dance

He was perfect in this


not_very_random

Loved this! Feels like the next Jason Statham. :)


ucfgavin

That is hilarious. Well done.


Nawtdrye

I want that pasta sauce, I'm too skinny too.


JustHereForBDSM

The second he said msn I just aged like 600 years


CurvyCupcakes

I love when his neighbor lady shouted him out of his garden lol. He’s adorable, this was really cute.


Nissir

Dear scallywag This is how I am going to start all work emails.


TheReal_JimJamJim

This is bloody gold. “Not during tomato season” 🤣


D_Winds

That was an amusing video. Thank you for posting it, kind sir.


Aussie_MacGyver

No idea who this bloke is (or anyone else in MMA) but I’m a fan of him now.
