NZ Army/Airforce training exposed! 

Have you guys considered he pulls off the tight pants incredibly well?? My man has legs for days and calves for the gods…

I love Rhys's "young Rhys" impression. It's so adorable my girlfriend and I just keep saying "bullets bullets bullets" in this voice to eachother randomly at least once a day.

It gets me when he cracks himself up. Love a comedian that loves his own jokes 😂

Early days in my army career in the mid 90s we'd yell 'Buckets of bullets, buckets of bullets' when we were carrying the machine gun

Yeah my mate was in the RNZAF, they couldn't afford to train them with actual helicopters so they made the recruits wave their hands in a circle going 'chkachkachkachka' mimicking the sound of a real helicopter while the instructor trained them lmfao.

the New Zealand army out there LARPING "BULLETS BULLETS BULLETS

We did “bullets bullets bullets” in the US Army, too. And “simulated kill”.

This dude is one of my favorite comedians. His command of the adorable and absurd is so fun to watch.

They are some rather tight pants.

This crowd was so lame, Rhys was brilliant!!

I was in the Army around the same time and I can confirm we actually did this shit usually Territorials (Part time)

I love how hopelessly low budget New Zealand used to be. I work with quite a few old buggers who are ex NZ Army, and I seem to recall a couple of them saying how farcical it could be at times. Oodly enough those who served during that time and made it to their pension date got a better deal than those who are entering the military now.

Also true for the French Army, back in 2008 I use to shout a lot of "BRATATATATATATA PEW PEW PEW". Yep. Fun times.

The bit about the NZ army running out of money because of the Steyr AUG isn't unusual, Ireland bought the Steyr too and ehhh, yeah well, ummmmm. Oh and am I the only person who's intrigued by the irony of the New Zealand airforce having a Kiwi as it's symbol, yeah I get 'Kiwi' as the nickname for New Zealanders but a Flightless bird for the airforce?

To be fair, the Skyhawks were purchased new in 1970, and Hobsonville didn't have tarmack, it was a grass airfield. However I've also run around with a steyr yelling bullets, bullets, bullets.

Am I the only one who was distracted by his legs the whole time?

This is very factual, I have fired “bullets” and also pretended to be a Punzgauer in a field

Looking respectfully at these tight pants 👀

In the build up to the Gulf War, we needed to conserve ammunition... I carried the big, black gun, the GPMG, we shouted "Banana, banana, banana!".

🎶Everybody's talking bout his tight pants... he's got his tight pants, he's got his tight pants on...🎶

Needed a Coran fix, found "bullets bullets bullets" - thank you for the "laughter laughter laughter"!

Did you put your jeans in the dryer Rhys? Robin Hood called, he wants his tights back.

"some of this isn't true"

i think the nz army in the 90s was just a dance camp

those pants are so distracting. damn this man has legs for days

There's not enough pants where there should be more pants

I'm pretty sure the Skyhawks came from the Australian Air Force, when the Australian Navy decided to decommission the HMAS Melbourne (the aircraft carrier they were used on), and no longer had need for them (Australian Government had just signed a deal to buy a ton of F18s, so even if they replaced the Melbourne ...which they were not sure about, they had better planes for any future carrier). I think the plan initially, was simply to canvas wrap them, and bury them, just like they eventually did with their squadron of F111's, but then New Zealand put their hand up and said they could take them off our hands, and the Australian Government was like "Bonza, not our problem now" I think it was field guns the NZ Army salvaged from the sea.

Yup, bullets bullets bullets for the steyer and banana banana banana for the light support weapon...

I've heard the story about the source of the sky hawks before, but it was actually the source of our artillery pieces. Story goes, at the end of WW2 USA was dumping m101 105mm howitzers in the Mississippi and NZ came and pulled them out and took them home. Bound to be an element of truth in it somewhere. Great story about bullets bullets bullets, was still doing it in '99, takes me back.

"YA BUGGERED!"

Hello Rhys, I remember working with you on wrecked in Fiji 💖I was a dolly grip.

The A4 Skyhawk was developed in the 50s to replace the prop Douglas Skyraider. It was an ground attack jet and also had a nuclear mission.

Wow, he is so funny *stares at pants* hah... thats a good machine gun sound...

I used to throw pine cones! Grenade!

So NZ airforce training was theater camp? Love that

so if i ran up to a army guy from new zealand i could point a fake gun and say bullets bullets bullets and he would know what i meant? lmao

That’s true, everything on a budget

This video is my comfort thing. Anytime when I'm in a bad mood I watch this video then everything going to be better. Thank you Mr Darby that you exist! But I have only one question: Why do you say "bullets bullets bullets" against "pew-pew-pew"? Is it for because "bullets" could any type of bullet?

Funnily enough the Skyhawks actually came from Australia after HMAS Melbourne was sold.

I threw wadded up foil balls lightning bolt!lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

I joined in 1992 as a 16 year old 1 year too early 😂 I was still at high school

Remember the time they sent us to Bosnia without proper Armour 😂 there was a shit storm in Parliament over that 😂

This is brilliant!! 😂

The New Zealand army now consists of a man in a room with a telephone, who goes: “Hello, is this America?”

That just sounds like summer camp

This was great- lame crowd tho

As a kid watching the army in t.v. use laser tag style attachments and gear to train...18 yrs old one week of field training where you sit around with a rubber gun with a flashlight taped to the end of it, and a third of your squadmates are carrying wooden cut outs.

Thankfully the military is a thousand times better now that the budget has raised a couple billion dollars we have helicopter/plain simulators and the army now trains with blanks and real ammunition alot of the time

I love that he makes himself laugh too hes sof funny

Best airforce roast from an army vet 😂😂😂

Brilliant

#RNZAF, *Raises hand* I am going in. XD

audience sucks, great set

Steyr AUGs rock

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, One Ha for every bullet 😂

it is so cute it should be illegal 😂❤

Sounds a lot like the Canadian army at that time.

hi russel

We got our APC’s M113’s and Helicopters as well thanks USA

😂 😂😂

Is it a man? Or a bush?

A bit too tight? Old people can't wear those pants

I am 14 and I live in New Zealand but I want to move to the US and join the USAF

Its ALL TRUE!!! LOL!!!

our school slogan then was the army should be doing raffles for bombs and it did seem a waste of money whatever the government was giving them when there was no war

Lies
