American Reacts to Hilarious Banned Hilux Ads in Australia 

Loved the "bugger" series of ads. The old Landcruisers were essential equipment for farmers, back in the day.

Bugga was a massive thing In Australia the bugger slogan became more popular with alot of ads

Australia banned vehicle ads that display irresponsible driving, and the bugger ones were banned because snowflakes. The hilux is second only to the landcruiser in my opinion.

Great vid, would love to see a part 2. The 'bugga' ad series was epic.

I love all the Hilux ads. Even the Kiwi ones😂 The 80's model Hilux are still my favourites. The Landcruiser was the bushie's choice until the hilux came out. They were really unbreakable and reliable. Some if the places we took ours you'd struggle to walk through.

I love the humour in a lot of the Hilux ads. My favourite are from the "bugga" series which the NZers did

Ian thank you for this, I live in Australia and my family have just lost everything in the flooding. I have been cleaning all day only made a small dent.. But we are safe and together. Thank you for putting these videos up, as always, makes me feel better and optimistic about life. Thanks Ian.

2:30 I like how the boss is impressed how quick the youngun got the supplies.

There’s a few more hilux (bugger adds) that you need to see. Also I think the adds stopped because the model shape changed as I’ve seen every one of them on the idiot box.

As an Aussie, gotta admit I love the "bugger" ads. Always funny!!! Cheers

Gday Ian , you gotta do another vid mate that was awesome. Seeing the old 80's ads brought back memories. My boss at the time had the exact model and we did the exact same thin with it and it never missed a beat.. We had a hard time explaining the dings and scraches though. great vid mate cheers

A lot of Aussie ads are made with humour… we don’t get offended as easily so we like our jokes haha

Looking forward to part 2😆 I loved the bugger ads while I was growing up, especially when the dog missed the tray. Thanks for your hard work

The "bugger" adds were huge.. became a national catchphrase

The first time I saw the bugger ad I nearly fell off the lounge from laughing. Whoever band these ads have no sense of humour. I love the Toyota ads.

The Australian ‘buggar’ campaign was a classic. When he hits the fence and it goes down for miles haha

“Bugger” was a great series. I remembered some of the others but they don’t stick in my brain like the good ol’ Bugger dog

I remember most of these and my favourite has always been the bugger ad. Being an Aussie we see these a lot

Bugger that ad! My mum's first acceptable swear word was bugger,, she learned it from that featured cattledog ad! 😁 Never mute a Hilux ad! 👍

A small foot note to the Hilux commercial is my good mate Cee Jay did the voiceover for the dog that said "Bugga". 👍

The monkey wanting a Hokey Pokey ice cream 🍦 is my favorite.

@3:43 ...."Out of the way 'Sheep Shagger'....LMAO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

The funny ones were actually Kiwiland.... a few from Oz and one from Europe. Great ads. Especially the old ones.

I love that NZ Hog and Monkey one, classic!

Cattle Dog Version - My then 3 year old neice would stand at the TV & repeat "BUGGER" after this ad was displayed on TV.

I’m an Aussie and I have always loved the hills ads but I’ve never seen the one with the Bulls driving, that one is a gem…..thanks for your content….

I love when the bull said to the ram "Out of the way sheep shagger" lol 3:43

Barry and Scotty there was a bunch of commercials with these two guys and most of the filming was done in Barry’s backyard literally. You had to cross a river to get to Barry’s house or walk a swing bridge. Being an ambassador for Toyota Barry received a brand new model Hilux when released.

The second one with the dog jumping in the air is hilarious 🤣

Good to see one of the Barry Crump ads again... That was the one from the 80's! So good!

Well done Ian..........Oh Bugger.. they were always my favourites.....in my Off roading days a lot of Hilux out bush, very popular vehicles......Go with a Part 2.....always enjoy what you put together.

Actually, most of these ads are from New Zealand. I've thought about getting the registration plate OOTWSS for my Hilux, but if VicRoads worked out what it stood for, I don't think they'd allow it.

Hilux ads in NZ featuring Scottie and Barry Crump - Epic. My Father knew Mark Vette who trained Hercules ( the dog in the "Bugger" ads ), was lucky enough to meet them in person.

Haha the one with old lady getting sprayed with mud n dog missing the tray. Aired when i was young. Good old Aussie classics mate. 😆

The dog going jump on back of Ute and missed Bugger lol

I grew up with the Barry Crump and Scottie ads, they were part of NZ culture in the 80s and 90s. Taika Waiti paid tribute to Crumpy with Rhys Darby's character and truck in The Hunt for the Wilder people, which was originally a story written by Barry Crump.

The advert at 6.50 features Barry Crump " Crumpy" driving the red hilux. He was a famous writer in New Zealand and he wrote the origoinal book that Taika Waititi adapted into the movie "Hunt for the Wilderpeople"

G'day Ian. I can honestly say that the Hilux ads are true. I have a 1984 twin cab diesel 4x4 (model LN65, the same model used for the Top Gear destruction test ). It's done over 900 000km (so far ) and at least 300 000 km of that on rough outback roads and 4x4 tracks. It's taken me all over Australia. The only major failure has been a broken rear diff. centre. Upgraded suspension and wheels/tyres, otherwise stock. Normal wear and tear items ( brakes, tyres, belts , hoses etc ) and serviced every 5000km. Engine and gearbox never opened up for repairs.

Most were New Zealand made ads, would love to see pt 2

Loved the Barry Crump ads here in NZ! I just had a question from another video you posted about converting a truck to be allowed in the US- are you not allowed to have a right hand drive vehicle? In NZ we have a lot of classic cars that are left hand drive with no probs. Love your reactions and hope you get to see Australia and NZ soon!

Bad ass truck? You mean ute, right mate 😛 Wow, I don't remember the one with the CGI cows. They had a series of "bugger" ads. There was a classic were where the farmer ties a rope to the cow and tries to pull it out of the mud, it didn't seem to end well for the cow "oh bugger me".

Not sure what I enjoyed more - watching these great ads or the reactions !!

My favourite are the "bugger" series of Aussie Toyota Hilux ads. I'd love to see another series of ads reactions

The bugger ads actually had me looking forward to the ads. A small minority of nasty prudish complainers with nothing else to do with their lives got the ads banned, grrrr. Also the fact that some ridiculous people believed that cows drove cars and that cars can jump off cliffs and stay in one piece and said it was false advertising, I mean seriously, as if! It was all just fun and fantasy 🤷🏼‍♀️😆

Loved the "Bugga" ads. They were my favourites. I laugh every time I see one...!

Loved it especially the first one, dog and the NZ one with the Ape Was Fun Ian

I think it was NZ All Black Cyril Brownie, circa late 1950s early 60s on the first televised Rugby match. At the end of the test match who uttered in response to a question about his condition " I'm absolutely buggered!". Caused a National outrage of the time. (buggery being associated with the rectum). Bugger is now more a response of " that's not a good thing to happen". Stuffed, munted, wrecked, unintended happening. P. S NZ rules Straya drools. 😉

The Top Gear Hilux On Top Of the Building Demolition,...(They got it running )And the King Gee Ads especially the dropped cigarette on the bridge.

Haha! Funny! Thank you Ian for doing my request. The Aussie/NZ Toyota Bugga adds with the dog he he 😂 Would love to part 2 please

Hilux certainly the huge favourite in Oz... biggest selling vehicle in the country 5 years running, from 2016 through 2020! Miss the Bugga ads... they were bloody good.

You totally missed the sheep shager joke LOL, that one always gets me 😀

The Kiwi guy testing out the Highlux on his drive home is Barry Crump. A bit of a character.

Those ads brought back some memories. Especially the 'bugger' ads.

Haha! "You're not married are ya?" - right over his head! :-)))

I had an RN46, the model before the old one in the vid. It drove exactly like that (rufflux) and I loved it. My back thanks me for swapping to Defenders for the last 25 years. Great vid choice, thanks Ian. Thumbs up.

6:21 Hokey Pokey icecream is from New Zealand and has butterscotch syrup plus chunk. It's the best but extremely hard to find in West Australia.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 good to see ya laugh hard man.👍 Where's Kyle Bush's Toyota ads mate???? Few doughnuts in a carpark might not cut it. (Remember Vegas 🤣)

The Toyota bugger adverts are from New Zealand. Very funny. You could get Toyota Bugger bumper stickers in Australia.

G'day. A True UTE is based on a car. The "Tray" body panels and the "Cab" are all one piece. The Commodores' and Falco both had "Ute" and "Cab Chassis" options. The "Cab Chassis" has an independent tray that can be removed/replaced. The "Style Side" Tray (Tub) on a "Cab Chassis" will have the same body lines as the Ute but with a space between Cab and Tray.

The bugger ads were the best but I also loved the Toyota chicken series… chicken crossing the road etc… They were hilarious too! Love ya work 👍🏻 Bring on part 2! from the Gold Coast 🇦🇺

Loved all those old ads, even though I'm not a car person. But these PC days, ya gotta walk around on eggshells, so many precious folk out there now. They spoil all the fun! My dad used to have more of a laugh during commercials than the TV shows, so I'm glad he's not around to see how skewed the world has become. I used to love all the community ads from the 80's, like the dingaling jingle (not based on Chuck Berry's song my dingaling) and the wash your hands and the Norm ads about fitness. There were some pretty good toilet paper ads starring Magda Szubanski too, but I think they were from the 90's. Oh I loved the beer ads too, although I think you've already seen one of the best ones with all the people dressed up running towards each other. Can't remember what beer it was for, I guess it was just too entertaining. 😅🤣

the bugga ads were on TV for a very very short time

Yep, remember all of those. We didn’t want a Toyota but we liked the ads. Last week we ordered a new Hyundai Kona for driving around town. Husband has his fully fitted out RAM 3500 to pull the van. The guy in charge of Hyundai told us it had been loaded on the boat from the factory in Japan last week. It was on it’s way. We have a big shortage of cars because of Covid. So I asked him if it was a quicker trip from Japan than South Korea and he said yes. It isn’t. He is in charge and handles most sales for that brand but he doesn’t know they come from South Korea. I think he is one of those people who think we wouldn’t know the difference. Except our daughter was born in Korea and we do know the difference.👀 Toyota is Japanese.

The ad from the early 80s with Barry Crump is a New Zealand ad, all he asked for for doing the ad was a free hilux. The bugger ad and the ad with the wild boar and chimp are also New Zealand hilux ads.

I drive a 1994 4×4 Hilux tray back 460000klm on the odometer 2.8 diesel, not much for creature comforts or power but reliability and freedom is awesome 👍💯😎 Cheers brother 🍻

Take a look at the 'Barry and Scotty' New Zealand Hi Lux ads from the mid 80s. The late Barry Crump was a very well known hard case outdoorsman.

the original Bugger ads are from New Zealand, the dog was called Hercules and died a couple of years later. The unbreakable Bulls is also a NZ ad same animal Trainer as for Hercules.What happened was also a NZ AD, and another Barry Crump NZ Ad- So mostly all New Zealand Ads

Love the " this bits called the widow maker... ur not married are ya?... no.. she'll be right then." Lmfao

Hey pal hope you're doing well. I've always been curious as to the analytics/demographic breakdown of your viewers by coubtry. Is it mostly Aussies watching you to remind us of the things we take for granted a bit or is it mainly Americans just by sheer numbers (since we've only got a population of 26ish million which is slightly less than one state - Texas at 29 million and then the 300 million more). What got you so fascinated with Australia since you've never made the long trek over here yet? Was it the Monaro and Commodore that GM sold as Pontiacs that got you into the rabbit hole? Appreciate your work as always mate.

I remember the original Top Gear 'test to destruction' episode on the Hilux, but I'm old enough to have seen it when it first came out! Any chance you could show at least part of that episode, or is it copyright?

Hi Mate coup[e of kiwi ads in there. Look up Barry crump toyota ads, theres quite a few.

Part 2 would be nice.

Just found this 1 year later.. Not Toyota but look up old 1980s Castlemaine XXXX ads. Along the same comedic vein. . Particularly overloading the banged up ute with XXXX cartons, and that 1 bottle of sherry for the women. Just classic. In fact any 80s 90s beer or car ads were better then before we got too PC and socially acceptable.

The "Bugger" adverts came out in 1999 and I know in NSW (New South Wales) they allowed the word Bugger to be spoken on TV but in QLD (Queensland) the word Bugger was removed and the advert was not really the same without the word Bugger in it. Just shows the difference in censorship laws between the 2 states.

loved all the Bugger ads,,,,,,, especially the little one who spilt his ice cream

Higgins Storm Chasing just put up a pic on facebook of the XXXX factory in Brisbane, Flooding. There are semi-trailers stuck in the water as well. So expensive to fix. A lot of beer drinkers will be very understandably upset.

The first one, and the one with the old cruiser in the background are the only ones I have not seen. Do they have the same set-up in the states, not all states have the same commercials. Do they advertise differently depending on the state, in the USA?? Thanks for another great vid.

your reactions to these ads are HILARIOUS

The bugga ads were the best ones

I loved this video. My fav was the Bulls. I am blessed to an Australian. i live in the flooded South East Queensland but as they say We’ll Be Right. But Bugger that was an Epic Video. Love to your family I love what you do and how much you love Australia. You are Australian through and through. Thank you for a good laugh on another wise bad week.

At 5:30 that Kiwi ad is bloody fantastic

Hey. Funny clips. I am Frank from Australia. I just want to explain the Cricket rules briefly. There are 4 types of bowlers. Fast pace, Medium pace, Leg spin, and off-spin. Leg spin is like Shane Warne. (Right to Left). Off spin is (Left to Right). The idea is to bowl at the wickets. (The 3 stumps). The batsman stands at the crease which is 4feet in front of the stumps. He/she has to keep one foot behind the line at all times. They can move across the line to attack the oncoming ball. But if they miss the ball and it goes behind them to the wicketkeeper. The wicketkeeper can hit the stumps with the ball and therefore the batsman is OUT! Because he is not behind the crease. The batsman can put his/her cricket bat down behind the crease to save themselves. That is called a (RUN OUT) if they don't get behind the line before the ball hits the stumps. Next, if the ball is aiming at the stumps and it hits the batsman on their leg below the knee, that is called LBW. (Leg before wicket) and the batsman is OUT. If it hits the bat before it hits the leg, it's not out. And last is obvious. If the batsman hits the ball in the air without the ball touching the ground. They can be (caught out). Scoring. When you hit the ball you can run if you think that you can make it before the fielder throws it at the stumps. If the ball hits the stumps and you haven't crossed the line. (You are RUN OUT). You can run up to 4 times. Don't forget, there are two batsmen on the pitch at all times. So if you just run 1 run, the other batsman is then on strike. If you hit the ball and it makes it to the boundary, it's automatically 4 runs. If you hit the ball over the boundary without it touching the ground, it is 6 runs. There are 11 batsmen. Normal cricket is called (One Day matches) That means there are 50 overs per team. An over is 6 x balls per over. They change bowlers every 6 balls. The highest score at the end of the overs wins. So if you see this ( 9/253) that means that 9 batsmen were dismissed and the total runs they made was 253). The other team now comes in to bat and they have to get 254 to win. So you might see this ( 3/ 254 ) 36 overs. That means, they were a better team. They only lost 3 batsmen and they beat the other team with 16 more overs still remaining. Oh, if the bowler oversteps the crease when they are bowling. It is called a (NO Ball) so if they bowled the batsman out. It doesn't count. But if the Batsman hits it for 6, the batsman gets the 6 runs. I hope this made sense for you. Love your channel and your family. Regards Frank

I wonder if the "Storm is coming" ad with the hot air balloon was Toyota's response to the "Holden Storm V6 Ute" first released in 2014.

I remember seeing the chimp wanting the ice cream one as a kid, hokey pokey is a kiwi classic ice cream.

There's a very good reason as to why so many farmers, mining companies and remote area workers have overwhelmingly chosen Hilux and/or LandCruisers, for decades, as their work vehicles.

Ironic this is interrupted by a Ssangyong Musso advert. Thanks YT

Hokey pokey icecream is delicious too. Love all the ads both the N Z & the Aus ones still hold up,will. Just loved all the bugger ads then and now

Hi Ian, well I noticed that the blue one was LHD, so not Aussie ad, likewise the NZ one(s) and I think there was a South African one there too. I will check out Part 2 as the absolute classic ones with 'The Breaker Bros' were missing. If they aren't in Part 2 you REALLY need to search them up, as they were banned due to being too violent - seriously?!?. Cheers mate.

these are still my favourite adds, you need to watch more of the bugga adds

That one where he's trying to beat the storm and pick up the balloon is in the marble quarries in Carrara, Italy. Carrara marble is perhaps the best in the world.

have never seen:- the 1st, the hot air balloon pickup, the boar & the chimp one, the old red one being put thru its paces

NZ Tui Beer ads mate please. Either that or the L&P ads.

The one with the wild boar is a Kiwi ad. They say e instead of i in their words. Aussies can pick them a mile off, even when we ring a call centre we can tell if a a,owing works there as soon as they start to speak😂

ive been driving for 22 years. ive owned nothing but a hilux. 6 of them. currently own a 2005 4.0L V6 1GRFE. best year model they have made so far is from 2005 - 2015 in my opinion.

The New Zealand Proven one was a classic!!! Especially if ya know farmers were well known to always want to have a better story than other farmers. Often leaving one like...oh yeah...whatever mate. Lol

I would suggest the "BCF" ads, "This is Living" series of ads and the "BCF'n fun" are good for a giggle.

Yes I've seen em all, the bugger ad is my favourite, with the bull's a close 2nd. Next couple days I'll have a Aus Post pox on the way to you. Tonight I just got a hand written note to do.

I remember all but the New Zealand one, they have always had very inventive ads here in Oz. Most likely not required as they have been one of the most well sold vehicles in Oz since year dot. Prior to my retirement in 2010, I traveled to almost every mine site in Australia as a service engineer on the equipment they use to analyse their products and Toyota Landcruisers and Hilux's form the majority of vehicles on these sites. I bought my own tray back ute new in 2005, and it is still my day to day run around and has nary missed a beat.

Friends Dad in NSW “If you want to go into the Bush get a Ford….if you want to come home get a Toyota”

Aussie here, a couple of kiwi ads in there too ..yeah agree the Bugger ad series was funny as
