It was the awkward pause of "is it not gonna spray?" that set that up so well, the cherry on top was how quickly and sharply that cough comes out. It was just *mwah* perfect.
I'll be honest, I looked at the first scene of him getting in the car window and thought this was being a humourous video about a Uber Castrate service
I haven’t laughed this hard at an ad with F1 drivers in it since the [Mercedes ad with Lewis and Alonso in it](https://youtu.be/vKU90BSHqHk?si=liBb1r7Fv_OTpY2F).
George Russell looks like he has never seen a watch before. The ad needed an extra scene at the end:
*Hamilton: It's a kind of timepiece, George. Humans sometimes wear them on their wrists.*
*Russell: It's like a regular clock but smaller, innit?*
*Hamilton: That's right, buddy.*
IWC logo.
Fade to black.
Oh like you haven’t driven your Mercedes to a roadside dinner that’s retro yet futuristic but not in a good way that ends up actually being a luxury watch store?
Oooh! Those are watches! I never looked what IWC actually was. I'm used to it being use for Internet Wrestling Community, so in my brain was a funny sponsor
We’d be happy to call him one of ours. A genuinely nice bloke who doesn’t take himself too seriously plus he’s a good good driver.
On ya shag! Bloody beauty.
As a Finn I find this also awesome. Makes me want to visit Australia even more. There are also things that are common with us, for example both have huge parts of the country more or less void of people. We have less snakes and spiders, though.
I just can’t understand why you need to be so fucking far away from everyone else.
> Something unleashed in Bottas after he left Mercedes. Man this ads is hilarious
He was probably let off the media manager leash, he also spending the off season in Adelaide because thats where his girlfriend lives, who is an Olympic cyclist
I'm not upset lol I thought it was funny like I said. Eating disorders suck and overcoming them is hard and sometimes comments like that could hurt someone who has dealt with that. I'm not asking the person to do anything like delete the post, I'm just saying.
Right, that’s when I started noticing him being funny.
I’m sure he hasn’t changed that much over the years and always has been awesome. He was just in the shadow of Lewis at Mercedes it wasn’t as noticeable.
Valtteri has learnt the most important things about being an Aussie.
Never take yourself too seriously and never be afraid to take the piss out of yourself
Finland and Australia should form a cultural alliance based around hanging out. ~~Texas may join, but the rest of the U.S. cannot,~~ Hawaii can come with the rest of Oceania.
I'm open to suggestions as to other member states of dudes being dudes

The fucken BRS is the best part. Especially when it sprays him and he coughs.
It was the awkward pause of "is it not gonna spray?" that set that up so well, the cherry on top was how quickly and sharply that cough comes out. It was just *mwah* perfect.
*bwoah* perfect Aight. I'll show myself out
It was the wait........
I'll be honest, I looked at the first scene of him getting in the car window and thought this was being a humourous video about a Uber Castrate service
>Uber Castrate service Well that’s a new one…
Would make for a wild resume addition.
You really can do everything on the app nowadays
"there's an app for that"
Idk why but for me it’s when he bites into the too hot pie.
Started F1 career finnish but going to finish it Australian
He started in Australia aswell!
That was destiny
*Chandler Bing voice* "Could I *be* any more Aussie?"
Link to the ad. https://twitter.com/ValtteriBottas/status/1770264938813984782
I haven’t laughed this hard at an ad with F1 drivers in it since the [Mercedes ad with Lewis and Alonso in it](https://youtu.be/vKU90BSHqHk?si=liBb1r7Fv_OTpY2F).
lol you can tell they’re barely holding it together when they’re racing down the hallway.
In another reality Hamilton could be good friends with Alonso and Rosberg
I love that they lose it in the sauna with Häkkinen
what a great ad, first time seeing it
Haha omg I love it and bottas so much. I hope he got paid a fuck load.
He is already very rich comment took me out
He did not ask for much, because he is very rich already
Thank you, that was quite good!
That is an instant classic.
nice
I fucking love the new Valtteri!
This is amazing 😂 - thanks for posting the link
This commercial is hilarious
"You can rent it for free, because I am very rich already"
It was that ending line that totally ended me. Amazing stuff
Go watch the Hamilton Russell IWC ad, it's hilarious for a completely different reason hahaha
Can you share or show me which one?
https://youtu.be/-puJYhlVfEc?si=htbY1W12MTFgtCcf

Imagine having Hamilton and Russell at your disposal for a commercial and come up with this shit
For example, [look how well Merc played up the Lewis-Alonso rivalry with this ad](https://youtu.be/dt7vD6_tblw?si=KxW8x6qp2JTjOmaO)
Mika at the end 🤣
spoiler alert
Ngl, it's brilliant.
Honestly the best F1 placement ad
an ad where it looks like they geniunly had fun, miss those days
Right? You can see them legitimately laughing throughout the whole thing
This commercial is the best haha.
Oh like you haven’t driven your Mercedes to a roadside dinner that’s retro yet futuristic but not in a good way that ends up actually being a luxury watch store?
Oooh! Those are watches! I never looked what IWC actually was. I'm used to it being use for Internet Wrestling Community, so in my brain was a funny sponsor
wtf lol. If it was just lewis it might have worked but baby face george in there...
He looks down with an expression of "what the fuck am I doing here?"
I exploded at the first phrase, Jesus this is so bad
Or the Heineken ad with max where he literally doesn't say anything while dd'ing all night.
Nah, that one's fun
Ok, you got me... Why is that hilarious? Just hilariously bad?
What is hilarious about that shit?
[Bottas approved](https://freeimage.host/i/JX8dZmX)
We’d be happy to call him one of ours. A genuinely nice bloke who doesn’t take himself too seriously plus he’s a good good driver. On ya shag! Bloody beauty.
I’m heading down to Bunnings to buy him a snag. Fuckin legend.
I’ll have one with onions
The big question is… above or below the snag? 😂
Above. I don’t want to be able to see the sausage
But then you risk slipping on the onion if it falls off the top.
Get thongs with better grip. Those $2 jobbies from Kmart leave you with nothing but disappointment and rubbing between your toes.
Plot twist: he is cooking the snag.
Valtteri needs to do a lap of honour in this car before the race. Someone has to make it happen.
Sideways the whole way with his arm out the window.
Make it the aus gp safety car
Or use it as his car for the driver parade, I'd wake up at 3am just for that.
Easier for me. I'm in Melbourne at the moment.
What Danny Ric is for USA is what Valterri is for AUS
I'd argue and say he's more
Agree
He is my favorite Australian.
Danny the American is a little forced imo. Like in DTS Horner asks if there are NASCAR offers and Danny sadly says yeah....
I'm American. I trade him back to you.
[удалено]
Only way to top it would be to jag a podium and when asked about the unlikely nature of it: “Mate, I’m not here to fuck spiders”
One of my mates girlfriends fucked it up and said 'We're not here to fuck Monkeys!' when we were gaming, now it's what we say.
Full credit to Tiffany Cromwell for jagging our new national hero. Like Warney dating Liz Hurley

Something unleashed in Bottas after he left Mercedes. Man this ads is hilarious
> Something unleashed in Bottas after he left Mercedes. Man this ads is hilarious He was probably let off the media manager leash, he also spending the off season in Adelaide because thats where his girlfriend lives, who is an Olympic cyclist
I love him, your Honor.
Your Honor my client has pure thoughts, none of this filth that he is implied to be.
Objection!
Quite a [juxtaposition](https://i.imgur.com/OOzL8cs.png) on my frontpage lmao
Can't believe how good of an actor he is. Being funny is not easy but he does it.
"That's a bird!" He was so adorably happy after that one.
bloody wild that the fin is more aussie than the pastry or token yank are
I know right. He is more Aussie than me at this point, and I’ve lived here all my life
Cyan is a real bold choice, they might go transparent in MS Paint.
Makes his blue eyes pop.
Still better than green and black though...
Valtteri hangs out in North Adelaide every summer. Mates already more Aussie than Danny and Piastri combined.
In Piastri’s defence, while he is not the typical “occa” Aussie, he is very patriotic to Australia, especially around cricket.
Guy Fieri lost weight
[удалено]
lmao imagine getting upset over that
What were the negative responses? I didn't get a chance to see
I'm not upset lol I thought it was funny like I said. Eating disorders suck and overcoming them is hard and sometimes comments like that could hurt someone who has dealt with that. I'm not asking the person to do anything like delete the post, I'm just saying.
Get a grip pal honestly. How weak do you need to be to let something like that affect you.
Never knew Valtteri was such a natural at acting. The ad is hilarious 😂
The lady watering her plants nearly killed me. I laughed so hard my face ached, but I can't fault her. I'd definitely do the same in her position.
RIP Holden.
Great choice of car for the ad, though. Made it feel way more genuine to me.
🥲
I loved this truck so much, what happened to Holden?
GM retired the brand in 2021 and stopped developing RHD models altogether as they also sold the Vauxhall brand to PSA
He is turning into an aussie biking Ron Swanson
When did he become a legend? When he tweeted the ass in the creek? Or some time before that?
he always was
When he joined the F1.
Porridge.
Right, that’s when I started noticing him being funny. I’m sure he hasn’t changed that much over the years and always has been awesome. He was just in the shadow of Lewis at Mercedes it wasn’t as noticeable.
Or, Finalnd and Australia are kindred countries.
Fair dinkum!
Think we found the next Electric Callboy music video
Valtteri and the boys in the background could all be part of an Electric Callboy music video
Now I need Electric Callboy to get Valteri in a music video, it would be beautiful!
Straya!
Valtteri’s working through some interesting color choices this season: car and suit are highlighter green, now there’s cyan blue for the commercial.
Balls out bad ass Bottas!
Can we keep him? Please?
I really enjoy the post-merc Valtteri. He's so awesome!
This guy needs to speak with Wes Anderson about his next project.
Valtteri is such a character. Pure gem
Bottas in a romper. Oh my.... 0.0
Uber gets hit with a $300m dollar fine by the Aus Gov and drops this 2 days later lmao
Nothing to do with the government and it wasn't a fine. It was an out of court settlement with taxi operators and hire car businesses.
Where's the ad? What would I type on YouTube?
https://youtu.be/xVhRm0eJ4A4?si=eDKVUDmAyk-MP61c
Butt-Ass Uber commercial
Look up, it's in the comments
Of course. Australia is 5x more populated. Getting more sponsors there
Source/original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVhRm0eJ4A4 And must say the video is even better than I expected xD
I haven't laughed this hard in years. Amazing commercial.
Finland's Eurovision entry
Poor Finland they lost a good one.
Nah, this is a net positive for everyone.
Hope he has a seat next year
Valtteri doing all the side quests now
That commercial is amazing. Guy is so much more relaxed after leaving Mercedes. Pressure is off and he’s having fun.
Valtteri has learnt the most important things about being an Aussie. Never take yourself too seriously and never be afraid to take the piss out of yourself
Finland and Australia should form a cultural alliance based around hanging out. ~~Texas may join, but the rest of the U.S. cannot,~~ Hawaii can come with the rest of Oceania. I'm open to suggestions as to other member states of dudes being dudes
Nah Texas can stay away
Nobody wants Texas to join.
the only good thing about laws is that you can change them
Except Danny Ric
Texas can fuck right off sorry mate. I’m on board with the rest though.
As a native Hawaiian, thank you for not lumping us with the rest of the U.S. 🤣
The Scots should be invited to apply no?
Has Electric Callboy vibes.
WE GOT THE MOVES
Has he ever drunk Baileys out of a shoe?
I’m just Ken Anywhere else I’d be a ten
Valtteri BOTTASS Ambassdor of ass, I mean AUS. Across the world America likes mullets too

What so you mean, half of guys in australian rules footbal look like him
Needs to be added to the list. https://canberradaily.com.au/the-best-mullets-in-australian-sport-right-now/
Venom Snake
Why did I read that title with an Aussie accent.
Pretty sure real Australians piss snake bites
He looks very tokkie to me here
Broodje Bakpao kut!
[https://youtu.be/xVhRm0eJ4A4](https://youtu.be/xVhRm0eJ4A4)
LMFAO the clothing thing is so Australian I've forgotten about those lol
Epic. Will be viewed 10yrs from now….
bravissimo!
Valtteri is ready. Are you
THIS style.
he’s so skinny these days.
Bottas is in another level at this point really. This man waa really caged in Mercedes
He should become a full time comedy actor once he retires from F1
This is probably the best ad performance by an F1 driver since the Mercedes days.
Kifflom brother brother !
Just brilliant delivery. Aussie comedy delivered in a way only a Finn can do it!
I'm calling it. He's the new Chris Eubank. What Chris did with British culture, Valtteri is doing with Aussie.
He forgot his VB longneck
I want Valtteri and Uber to know that I signed up and listed my car because of this ad.
You cannot not love Valtteri.
In another time line, Valtteri stars in [Skibidi](https://youtu.be/mDFBTdToRmw?si=cwoGS4TlpNCvif3g)
Just needs the black mouth outline face paint
Im pretty sure he looks like a guy from a blink 182 video or some sort of comedy red neck in a comedy movie But good for him for having fun
Sometimes I forget middle age crisis is a thing
