Next Goal Wins is in UK cinemas from Boxing Day

[@joc7996]

i'm actually looking forward to this film. it somehow reminds me of 'cool runnings'.

[@thomasjones4570]

Taika Waititi the writer? Decent Taika Waititi the director? Decent to good Taika Waititi the actor? The single worst part of every film he has been in. He is one of the most annoying people I have seen on screen since Pauly Shore. Having these two together would be like having Sr Patrick Stewart next to...Pauly Shore.

[@JoeDirt9598]

Next goal wins came out last month here in nz and Taika filmed it on 2019 but covid delayed it by 4 years

[@DatDudeVince_]

but yet here you are@@thomasjones4570

[@GlennAustin829]

Marmite in NZ?

[@GriefHammer]

As a New Zealander from Wellington, this was double fun to watch. And thank goodness Taika taught Ladbible how to use Marmite properly, that's been long overdue!

[@user-et6pj4db9s]

Considering ladbible is english I wouldn't have thought they'd need teaching considering Marmite is actually english not kiwi.

[@Jeffro5564]

Yeah like saying your New Zealander hahaha nah your bs

[@unkown211_]

Chur im from welly too

[@miss_michelle]

I'm from Wellington too

[@sigmaenergy1143]

Bro if u were a real “New Zealander” you would have said Kiwi instead.

[@nikhildalmeida]

Finally! Taika Waititi showing the uninitiated how to properly use Marmite!!! "A little goes a long way" and on buttered toast preferably!

[@adingdingdiiing6740]

I do wonder why some Aussies who have been on this show never caught up on that. That small drip is enough for that entire toast??

[@nikhildalmeida]

​@adingdingdiiing6740 that's the perfect amount! It shouldn't make your toast look like death haha! Just a light coating with some butter and it's perfect!

[@mikeychch]

I used to love heavy butter, followed by heavy marmite. Great breakfast. But can understand the little goes a long way, sentiment. Marmite and vegemite are strong and an acquired taste for those not born in NZ or Aus. England has their promite, which I would assume is the same.

[@annainspain5176]

@@mikeychch Promite is actually originally from Australia. Marmite is originally from Burton on Trent, England. but thanks for playing.

[@ItsYaBoiV]

Which is funny because I love marmite and vegemite, and I'll absolutely coat toast in it 😂

[@josefrohrl8273]

I love that they rate foods and the first two things are booze. Way to go Ireland 😂

[@pearcegolding3544]

I dont know if you watched but there was "booze" from New Zealand there too. Not just Ireland. You utter clown.

[@mickeyduck2927]

Which is ironically more popular in Nz than the other drink

[@brendanburke7688]

Thank you Taika Waititi for sharing the correct way to enjoy Marmite - I thought I was the only one who used it sparingly!

[@kaylajordan3067]

FINALLY!!!

[@Charlotte66666]

You only need a smidge

[@banjopete]

Pile it on, if you put it on thin you don’t like it, stop pretending!…also, it’s Pommy…look it up.

[@Charlotte66666]

@@banjopete I'm English and yes, it's ours.

[@BadgerUKvideo]

@@banjopeteApparently the kiwi version is similar to ours. Not quite as good but obviously about 9000 times better than Vegemite. Tried Vegemite once and immediately felt ashamed to be alive.

[@connerd745]

They had to choose Tui our worst most memed on beer... "This is a classic NZ beer" was all Taika had to say about it, before hiding the shame 😂

[@seanrookee]

Better Tui than the absolute piss that is Steinlager. But yea probably could of picked something better than Tui.

[@stephenosborne6401]

Could've been worse. There's always Lion Red

[@kurupt7154]

@@stephenosborne6401I’d take lion red over tui any day

[@williamdoyle1108]

I thought Tui was an airline.

Disappointed that he didn't use the yeah right catchphrase.

[@tommybyrne5455]

As someone half kiwi and half irish they got this spot on wish they brought some l&p tho

[@EMMYK1916]

Ya, we're like twins living on the other side of the world.

[@TheRealCampFreddy]

L&P vs Club Orange is a battle I'd like to see.

[@StephersBeyond]

"I don't even know what Bailey's is made from..." "Children. Children's dreams." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg these two make me so happy right now lol

[@saucierspoons]

Thank you for including proper captions, and not auto ones. It’s very hard for me to interpret accents with my APD, and this makes it so much easier. Love these two together.

[@rebekahpool2997]

I don’t know how I ended up here but I’m loving these snack wars 😂

[@eroche913]

Us Irish and Kiwis really get each other I think. I had the loveliest few months in NZ when I was a student, a gem of a place

[@lucypeace6132]

I feel like there's a wild quality to both countries, a similar 'we're borrowing this land' vibe that both Kiwi's and the Irish understand on some level. We don't just love our countries, we are in love with and appreciate them.

[@faradillaramadhita1782]

This is really hilarious. The actor and the director are so funny

[@thatgirl9532]

Love Taika is married to Rita Ora 😂

[@jcp1984again]

Oh man, Michael Fassbender is one of those actors who don't often get to speak in their actual accent on camera. ☺️ Usually his characters are serious, intense, frightening and not Irish!

[@BrxIghtside]

Cant not see him as magneto

[@justarandomguy117]

Which is weird because I feel like the Irish accent in the right context would make him sound evil asf

[@Dreyno]

We’re not serious? Or can’t be frightening or intense? Because of our accent? Someone’s letting their preconceived ideas/prejudices interfere with logic.

[@Dreyno]

@@justarandomguy117Thank you. No, wait………..now I’m not sure how to feel 🤔

[@avanolan9001]

His Irish accent is very America-fied though

[@DaliahSilva]

This has to be in my top three snack wars episodes 😂 Taika and Michael are hilarious. Bless these two. You see Taika in any video and you start smiling by default 😁😊

[@tiggy2timez]

THANK YOU TAIKA!! finally somebody has shown the world how to spread it correctly! 🏆👏🏽

[@Unfortunatesoul00]

I think this is my first time seeing Michael fassbander smile and i loved it

[@daisybelle1025]

You need to watch his stuff with Graham Norton..

[@Unfortunatesoul00]

@@daisybelle1025 thank you im going to watching right now🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[@Unfortunatesoul00]

This episode was definitely one of the funniest. I love both of them so much

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

I really love it when they actually have two people representing both countries for these Food Wars. It makes it seem more fair 'cause they can call it out when LADbible sets something up that's not a fair comparison or not completely accurate. Obviously, LADbible tries their best but, since they are based in England, they do sometimes get things wrong concerning other countries' foods. Loved this one and I love these two!

[@Badonicus]

It's amazing the way the Irish accent comes out when it's needed

[@Destructionaire]

These two would be a blast to chill with. Lucky you LADbible.

[@jameskatu6339]

Finally someone(Namely a Kiwi) educated the World on how to apply marmite to toast and with butter

[@Inked_Bee]

Taika is just so adorable. I hope I get to meet him one day among a few others. Just be like "hello!" and run away screaming, crying and pooping.

[@saucierspoons]

He did a little panel at a movie premier I was at recently and he’s just as adorable in person from 10 feet away. And also incredibly beautiful. Unfairly so lol

[@tobyflenderson3130]

gotta love Michael Fassbender!

[@bomak]

5:26 For some reason, I just kept repeating Taika teaches the correct way to use Marmite on a toast 😂

[@cmobutts270]

Michael is an awesome actor i really enjoy his movies.

[@Blitze9792]

Loved them both! But you need to have Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, Ireland v Scotland!

[@jordangreenway8670]

That video would be hours long, but I'd watch every second of it.

[@AmandaLeighYA]

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SINGHDASLAYA]

Taika is too hilarious!

[@adematti]

Taika and Michael are such a great duo. They worked wonderfully together on Next Goal Wins, I'd love to see them work together again in the future!

[@Drengr_in_nz]

As an Irish Scandinavian who now lives in new Zealand I can confirm I have spread marmite correctly, bellymaloe was also a good classic even by itself. I also prefer pineapple lumps to the clove rocks, especially frozen in some ice cream on a hot summer's day.

[@Notorious_Byron]

Should've got Whittikers Milk Chocolate and Lewis Road Creamery Chocolate Milk. if you ever visit NZ, buy those two products, they'll change your life.

[@brendanhayward7577]

G.O.A.T

[@Ahreigh]

Whittakers is available in every Aussie supermarket, best chocolate ever!

[@1NCUB1]

Spent a few years living in NZ. I miss Whittaker's every day, best fucking chocolate in the world.

[@Ken_luxury]

Just watched Fassbender in Netflix The Killer , very good and entertaining, loved the self narrations

[@ninetanyas]

that marmite spread was sweet (salty?!) PERFECTION. i love marmite.

[@agphotographyis]

Michael’s face at Guinness in a can 😂 can confirm, better in Ireland. Look for the red square pubs. ‘Snacks’ are drinks, priceless. Most Irish & New Zealand thing ever .

[@penelopebutton9323]

Omg they’re hilarious, it ended to soon 😂🤣😂

[@genmusicofficial]

The first piece of toast with marmite is actually how much I eat but I'm a Kiwi who grew up on the stuff. I've built up a tolerance for the tang and developed a taste for its nuances. I've also tried the South African and British versions. They are all quite distinctly different. I could pick them out in a blind taste test easily. My preference will always be for the Kiwi version. If you're new to marmite or the umami taste then start with a small amount as Taika recommends.

[@Jamac007]

With alot of butter or margarine...the right amount of salty creamyness of the butter mixed with the bitterness of a little marmite is sublime

[@Ahreigh]

As an Australian, I also prefer the Kiwi version,probably more than Vegemite.

[@Lynda_NicAirt]

As an Irish gal who used to live in New Zealand, this video makes me very happy! 😁

[@pam3lita]

These guys should work together always! They're a bomb!!! ❤

[@louanarose]

I love seeing men drinking like this. with style and still be fun and great to be around with. classy and respectful. love it!! I love Taika and Michael!

[@PuRpLePoNcHo]

I have a small jar and I've had it for years. The smallest amount of marmite does go a long way! Chur, Taika for showing everyone how to do it right

[@pletschke]

World's shortest drinking game but still fun. Have a shot each time Fassbender says "The Marmite" 😂

[@coffeeguyd]

The Sanitarium (New Zealand) Marmite is delicious! Definitely the best of the Big Three yeast spreads (English Marmite, Vegemite, and NZ Marmite). It's a shame you can't easily find it outside of the Oceania area of the world.

[@ItsYaBoiV]

Now this is a duo I never knew I needed

[@gracebrown3074]

I could guess exactly what they were going to rate what. That was a weird choice for the second alcohol for New Zealand though. It’s not Iconic in any way, I’ve never even heard of that flavour or anything. But I guess they were iconic New Zealand ingredients. I would have gone for L&P even though it’s not an alcohol.

[@dacoup5955]

Now i see where Next Goal Wins gets its charm and laugh out loud humor, Taika's a pretty funny dude 😂... Would love to throw back some beers with the two of them ... Great movie btw if you haven't seen it highly recommend.

[@NailsByKatieLady]

I adore Taika

[@BeardGuy-vz8tn]

Of course they have a booze called Lothlorien. Freaking of course 😂. Love it!

[@Shae_Sandybanks]

yeh they make like crafty wines. Don't think I've ever tried any though. They're not like a huge brand or anything. Seems a weird choice

[@HelenMarieOC]

They were around long before the LOTR films were! Founded in 1993. Taika's right - they do do a delicious sparking feijoa wine (dry is best).

[@thearnoldarmy1899]

I love that Taika is just literally his character from Free Guy.

[@SiWatten]

Love the pineapple lumps, my aunt sent them to me from NZ and they’re amazing.

[@Earthsuitlife]

Thank goodness Taiki is teaching people how to put on marmite! FFsake its the same with Vegimite!

As someone who eats it everyday I love the Marmite segment. And man Taika has chemistry with everyone 😂

[@roellek16]

Taika is very correct when he says the lumps are really good Frozen.

[@reid3576]

“Look at that jawline… of mine” made me laugh out loud 😂

[@DogmenHardcastle]

Both these guys are so awesome.

[@2010Lilyw]

Come on LADbible, that Marmite spread was a criminal amount! You'd never sway someone with that - as Taika pointed out (& any NZer knows) use sparingly preferably with lots of butter....Mmmmm The Marmite.

[@naomifrench4853]

I love marmite! It's amazing in a cheese sandwich or on crumpets xx

[@nice900]

ive never had marmite but on the front of the jar it clearly says yeast extract and i have seen videos where people try it and spread loads on which just bothers me, if you think of things like lemon or vanilla extract these are things which are way more concentrated in flavour and are supposed to be used sparingly

[@jujutrini8412]

You have common sense. Alas it is not so common anymore. 😂

[@shauqiazim4110]

[@mariposahorribilis]

It's true about the Guinness. I had drunk it occasionally in the UK, but preferred bitter. Then I visited the brewery in Dublin, and the Guiness there was gorgeous. In bars a mile away, it was still pretty good. At the airport it was OK. Back in the UK, I remembered why I didn't drink it much. And thank you, Taika, for showing the world the right way to eat marmite!

[@henkstols9326]

Love Marmite, and done correctly from South Africa.
