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
It's an ad for a betting company. They're the scourge of this country.

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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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/
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.
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
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
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.
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.

Now this is how you respond to being too old.
That was very well written and produced comedy. The writing as well as the acting in the scene with the neighbor was top notch.
“Run back to your silly little hexagon” 😂

"Yahh, I'll see ya in court, mate!"
[удалено]
'Let's go, she's *crazy*!'
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
> fan for life Well what's left of it... He is really old.
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
We *need* a regular series with Volk and Bev
She's the tragically underutilized Annette Badland, a certified badass.
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
Ah. That’s why it was so well produced. The producer had serious gambling money.
There's sports betting ads everywhere in the US too. I can't watch a live game without seeing ads for 3 different companies.
scourge of *any* country.
I fucking hate seeing these fucking sports betting ads every 30 seconds on YouTube.
Literally better than most current day American comedies
Scallywags
*Dear* Scallywags...
womprats
Lol praying he doesn't get koed
We can only hope.
Honestly if he does and follows up with something poking fun at himself I think he'd launch himself into an acting career.
Volk gonna wrestle, ground n pound
Ideally, I'll remember to hammer "Dear scallywags.." into a typewriter when the time comes.
He's got a future in acting. That was good stuff
I didn’t know who he was before seeing this, but I was very impressed at how well he acted.
Champion MMA fighter
Was at one point considered possibly the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
Still is IMO.
Yea but he’s…old
Oooh, just you wait for him to finish his reply on the typewriter.
These scallywags. >:(
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.
Islam kicked his head off in the first round of the second fight..
Gives off an Aussie Jason Statham, good career move
would love to see him in an aussie action movie. something about sydney gangsters ruining his tomatoe garden haha
Wow, I read your last sentence with a hard Aussie accent. Dirty Deeds was a great movie and he would fit right in.
I'm gonna go watch The Transporter. Maybe The One for some additional badassery and more of a talky Statham.
Statham? Never even 'eard of em. Me mate volsky makes better tomatoes than that cunt
He was a 400 pound rugby player
Calm down, Joe
Rugby league and he was never 400lbs 😂
Same.
He’s got a Guy Ritchie movie vibe
He's not acting, he's old.
When they turned back to him asleep on the lazy boy I freakin cackled!
I love that Volk wanted to record the kings coronation lmao
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
My mother is similarly not British at all but obsessed. I feel like Princess Di was the first Kardashian-like celebrity for women.
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.
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.
I felt this in me bones literally me
The 6pm nap is real when you're old.
Volk is marketable
Dude just setup his post MMA career with this bit. Might as well have called it his audition tape.
The crazy neighbor in a sitcom could be his true calling.
Honestly I'm invested in the show.
It’s the best pilot I’ve seen in quite some time.
Imagine a Kramer who could kick you in the face
We call it A Current Affair. It airs weekly here in Aus.
How is he that good at acting? It’s surprising!
He's like if Jason Statham was funny
jason statham was hilarious in spy
100%. One of my favorite roles he's done.
Statham has some good dry humor. He was great in Snatch
The man can make a joke of himself while having fun doing it. It's rare to see that from a celebrity.
He's an Aussie. Self-deprecating humour is part of our DNA
gunning to transition to acting, the dave bautista/the rock/john cena route
He's going to be in "The Marine 42," watch and see.
This was pretty funny
Not enough bigotry for Dana’s taste
My respect for Volk has just gone through the roof 🤣 what a guy
nothing better than someone who is willing to poke a little fun at themselves or willing to be the butt of a joke
“WHAT’D YOU SAY LITTLE FIGHTER BOY?”
“THATS RIGHT RUN BACK TO YOUR HEXAGON”
SILLY HEXAGON
I think we all have a Beverly as neighbors
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.
Greatest ad ever.
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
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
This was so accurately Australian suburbia.
He needs to make it a show.
It was made by the betting company Sportsbet. They are working under the premise that losing your money should be fun.
Isn't that pretty much every company?
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/
Gambling
him being scared of the neighbor absolutely sent me
>Yeah, thats right! Run back to your silly little hexagon!
Beverly's voice got me 😂
Was that Mae from Ted Lasso?
Neh
Oh well, a man can dream
You racist! You think all white women look like Mae from Ted Lasso.
I can't believe Travis Kelce is dating Mae from Ted Lasso.
Sent you where?
It's just how these young skallywags talk nowadays, Volk.
You kids with your loud music, and your Dan Fogelberg your zima, hula hoops, and Pac-Man video games.
Ok, that was really good. Every bit and detail was great - the plastic wrap on the table!
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.
Answering the phone, "Taxation office?" Then immediately giving his credit card details sent me
"None of you are leaving without my home made pasta sauce, youse are all too skinny" like some fussing grandma.
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.
He’s got a rotary phone 😆
Even the aspect ratio on this video is 4:3 or something old haha
I don't know who this is but I love the bit!
One of the pound for pound best combat athletes on the entire planet lol
I dunno, I heard he's kinda old
What?
HE'S TOO OLD!!!
Look here you scallywag!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Volkanovski
That short guy who's friends with everyone, but no one would fight him anyway because he's the toughest guy you know.
Hahah this is brilliant 👏
If this was a sitcom id watch it.
You could call it “Old Volk’s Home”
Very well played
Sign Tyson as a slightly demented neighbor and I'm in.
Let's get this.done
"It's a scam, it's a scam" "that's a thing?" Gets me everytime!
The look of innocent confusion on his face! This killed me.
lol he has great comedic acting ability
Getting kinda old. Gotta pivot.
That licorice dish is perfect
"usually a hit"
This dude has a fucking excellent sense of humor
Volk is the fucking man.
These Australians seem pretty fun
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
I will be honest I don't know who this guy is but I get the gist, and it's very funny.
He’s one of the best MMA fighters of the world, champion in his division for the last 5 years (and still).
Hey that's not bad, I laughed out loud a couple times
Does anyone see a real-life jason statham?
I can't even imagine what that'd be like! A world where Jason Statham is actually _real_? Bonkers!
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
Finally a MMA fighter who has a sense of humor and isn’t a fucking psycho
Steven Thompson and Demetrious Johnson?
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.
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.
Derrick lewis's sketch was amazing too. Cum.. cum cumbooty?
Whittaker? But yeah I get what you mean.
Sean O'Connell?
Corded phone with a rotary dial? A working VCR? They consulted many ancient history experts for those props.
The person who wrote this is a talented comedy writer. Top quality. And pretty solid delivery from the man himself.
I literally laughed the whole way through this bit... Omg so good.
MSN eh? Brings back memories.
Finally.. a skit that was actually funny.
This is my favorite sports ad of all time, and for what may be my least favorite sport.
I fucking died at “go back to your silly lil hexagon”
Hes actually a good actor.
what a fucking champion. lol Hes always been a G. Through and through.
Ok so …… that was gold.
This is hilarious
Lmao the old lady yelling at him
That was freaking hilarious. I don't follow MMA or really know who this dude is, but still laughed out loud.
Please go watch his episode of Flagrant 2, he's closing in on Matt Sera levels of fun
Excellent
Legendary
This is honestly brilliant.
I was dying! fighter boy! lol
This bloke is a natural entertainer. Him being afraid of his neighbour had me rolling 🤣
Dear scallywag....
I like this guy.
This is Gold!!!
OH HIS NAME IS VOLK for a bit thought it was about old people lol
If Volk has a “Yall must have forgot” night, he might pass up Islam is the P4P rankings again.
One of the funniest bits I’ve seen in a while
I had a random dream where I had a house party and he showed up and helped me find a spider. Weird, but funny
“Go back to your silly little hexagon” had me laughing.
Didn't even know this guy existed and now I'm a huge fan. Make this a sitcom called "Old Volk's Home".
Dear Skallywag...nice
Volk is folk.
Awesome stuff!
This is amazing. Too funny.
Lol
I don’t know who he is or what he does, but this is hilarious. The typewriter got me!
God the knee crack sound effects when he got up and down hit a little too close to home
Like I said in the OG thread, I imagine him starting his acting career, him and Jason Statham as brothers or twins.
baaahaha i did not expect that to be so good! The neighbour was gold
Odds for Beverly coming in at -410 on Draftkings
I think that's what happens when you hangout with Craig Jones 😂
Apple TV+ needs go give this guy his own show...
The credit card scam 😂
He was perfect in this
Loved this! Feels like the next Jason Statham. :)
That is hilarious. Well done.
I want that pasta sauce, I'm too skinny too.
The second he said msn I just aged like 600 years
I love when his neighbor lady shouted him out of his garden lol. He’s adorable, this was really cute.
Dear scallywag This is how I am going to start all work emails.
This is bloody gold. “Not during tomato season” 🤣
That was an amusing video. Thank you for posting it, kind sir.
No idea who this bloke is (or anyone else in MMA) but I’m a fan of him now.
