I just love how they got so many people to be in on it and play along. The whole town hall meeting bit is gold

That boot throw was real though, without acting involved.

Guy is the only reporter i take seriously these days I mean he's the only guy willing to dig deep to unearth the truth.

He is a very diligent man

Yep they use jaffas in the soil, watch out Aucklanders

The town in hot fuzz is actually fairly beautiful tho

Look out for anyone walking around in large hooded robes... Trying to maintain "the greater good".

[@Slavesforsale1]

5:50 I was drinking water when they came onto the stage and almost choked because I instinctively said "Oh fuck it's them two!" The NZT lore runs deep.

I got lost in Feilding one night following a four lane highway in the direction of Palmerston North. Gradually houses started to become scarce, there was less lighting, no signage. Then the road just stopped. Be aware people. Strange forces are at work.

they would if youtube recommend or send these vids to folk from other countries ,,but unfortunately having a channel from NZ your vids go nowhere a channel success relies on yt promoting them & they don't care about us folk here at the bottom of the world in NZ .It sucks it's hard work for kiwi's ,i know some crazy good channels & the forums are full of people telling them how they are & can't understand why there channel has not blown up & or has so little subs or views & it's all because yt don't promote them Kiwi Josh James is one example he has been on discovery several times his video's & editing is crazy good people love him & he is one of the very at what he does on yt,, people can't believe how small his channel is that's all on yt doing that ,,he manages to get by from having patreon like he said it cost to much money & time to put good content out he wouldn't survive without patreon .If you live in the USA different story ..Im not confident that many people outside the NZ-AUS bubble will even get a chance to see him .
