Should we invade New Zealand?
Posted by Triple M Monday 14 July, 2008 10:58 AM
Find out why this advertisement from Wil's new TV show The Gruen Transfer has been generating a flood of complaints!
New Zealand has done such a good job invading Australia that Wil's show, The Gruen Transfer, put forward a campaign that illustrated how easy it would be to invade our Kiwi neigbours.
Check out the video and then tell us what you think? Should we invade New Zealand?

Why do they need a defence force???? Have you seen their women?

Of course! Invade them! New Zealand - where the men are men, and the sheep are nervous!!

Why aren't there any Kiwi's on Star Trek? Because they don't work in the future either! Hahahaha

I'm a Kiwi living in Sydney and I can see the fun with the ad. We have no defence force but then again who has ever tried to invade?
Also half of the Eastern Suburbs and the Northern Beaches of Sydney have already been invaded by Kiwis!

I couldn't agree more, we absolutely need another day off in the second half of the year, and if we have to invade New Zealand to get it, well that's just what we have to do!
But hey look at the bright side, we can finally call the pavlova Australian again!

My missus is a Kiwi and she thinks it's piss funny!

To smooth things over with the kiwis, run a full page ad in the NZ paper saying we'll-
1. spot them the one dayer.
2. increase Brian McKechnie's average by 6.
3. public holiday in both countries called good sports day on 1st of Feb.
4. send 3 million sheep to NZ (one for every man woman and child).
5. run commercials of the all blacks in Indonesia.
6. offer them the collins class submarines.

I can't for the life of me see why the Kiwis would get offended by this very funny video clip...
I applaud the comment posted by Brad 14 July 2008 5:00pm as he clearly has a sense of humour equal and perhaps better than the average aussie. I laughed... you all should!!!!

I'm a Kiwi living in Brisbane and think this ad is really clever!
I can understand why there is public outcry though... but just imagine how bad the complaints would be if the ad was about invading the US!

I'm a Kiwi, living in Australia, thought the two ads hit the mark.
Aussies have been making jokes about the Kiwi invasion for years, it was great to see the retaliation.

No way. Who's gunna mow the bloody lawn?

If Wil goes to NZ will he be nabbed at immigration as a POW - treason against the state maybe?
Posted by Geoff Tuesday 15 July, 2008 04:41 PM
Just wonderin' boys if it's such a good idea to give the kiwis a giant inflatable sheep?!?!?! It's kind of like them giving us a giant blow up doll!
Posted by Daniel Tuesday 15 July, 2008 05:27 PM
Please send NZ a sense of humour immediately!!
Posted by Deb Tuesday 15 July, 2008 07:37 PM
Funny - yes but even funnier listening to it on Will & Lehmo.
I almost missed my turning off the Gateway I was laughing so much - not the 1st time this has happened listening to you two!

We have South Australia, Western Australia - we could re-name New Zealand to 'South Eastern Australia'?

Nice one guys. I can take a joke sweet az and I know you guys can so here are a few of my own. I've been dishing it out to you ozzis for a while.
You have chosen two national animals as emblems on your Coat of Arms that don't take a backwards step. Why do you think a Kangaroo jumps so high? You would too if you had a pin object try and get up you from behind!
Why does an Emu run so fast? Cause they see what you guys do to the kangaroos!
We don't deny nor confirm that we sleep with sheep but at least we don't sing about what you (Ozzies) do to your national animal ! TIE mi Kangaroo down sport/TIE mi KANGAROO DOWN/give him a WACK from the BACK JACK/IVE HIM A WACK FROM THE BACK/ ALL TOGETHER NOW!!! What's that all about??
I was born in NZ but grew up over here and I'll be honest I was tort by an old Ozzie farmer how do sheep PROPERLY OZZIE STYLE.
Get a pair of velcro gloves, gumboots, put a nail in the end of one gumboot - your kicking foot (usually the right foot) - grab a hold of your prefered sheep which ever one BUCKS better (Better the BUCK better the _UCK) put the back legs one in each gumboot, slap a hand on each side of your sheep, make sure the velcro has good grip, give the girl a kick and she does all the work for YOU YEEHA! Hang on boys its a great ride.
Hope you get a laugh. I do. I got three strikes on me anyway - my name is Eugene, I've got red hair and freckles, and I'm a PROUD KIWI living in Australia so I've had lots of fun. Enjoy EUE.

The blow up sheep is a great idea.Why not get funding for this from Ram home loans it would be a great promo for them.After the invasion Ram could remorage there homes.

Of course Aussies want to invade New Zealand... It would get you another day off work!
Ever wonder why most Aussie employers prefer to hire Kiwis... We actually do work.

If the NZ'ers are anything like us as soon as they get wind of an invasion they'll evacuate to the local Pub. I say beat them at their own game & just go to the pub anyway. Then commerate that as "National We didn't actually go across the Ditch Day".

My guess is that the Agricultural nazis at the airport will confiscate your homemade ANZAC biscuits (although you have to volunteer to do it first!!)

After today's show, the issue seems to be well and truly over. Unfortunately. Apparently we can't invade NZ because we're so very politically correct over here and can't offend anyone (also to stop any more NZers from digging any more trenches on the beaches, preparing for the invasion, which is slightly disturbing and deserves our sympathy...)
But to scrap the inflatable sheep idea!!! Wil, what are you thinking?? It would have made a great entrance in going over to NZ tomorrow, just imagine it - floating above the North Island in an enormous blow up sheep, placating the incensed populus via a megaphone

At least if we invade nz we wont get a fight cause they're all over here
Posted by Johnno Friday 18 July, 2008 05:41 PM
new zealand hmmm not a bad idea just have a takeover bid 20 bucks should do it
Posted by John Friday 18 July, 2008 06:36 PM
The Kiwi's are laughing now Wil, its probably for the best they cancelled your passport because if they treat you anything like the livestock over there...
Posted by MitchB Saturday 19 July, 2008 08:01 AM
this is only an issue because NZ need something to get them in the headlines all over the world.
not since LOTR have they had so much publicity, and they're craving it again
Posted by Emily Saturday 19 July, 2008 12:07 PM
I'm actually surprised that they recieved the news of our invasion so quickly... as far as I know they are still watching the first season of 'Family Ties'!
Posted by MitchB Wednesday 23 July, 2008 03:08 PM
I live in New Zealand - they only had it in the news once and then they were over it. It seems that you Aussies are the ones going on about it. No one cares over here!
