True. But it’s creativity brother, and creativity is not limited. Africas potential is being held back or stifled by poor leadership. Young people are creative all over the continent. Just make sure to vote for the right leadership and watch the continent lift off. The future is Africa.
The joke about the "language barrier" is a reference to how the languange of Wakanda that was used in Black Panther was Xhosa. John Kani (King T'chaka) and his son Atandwa Kani (Young King T'chaka) are Xhosa. So during production John Kani apparently came up with the idea that they must use isiXhosa as the language of Wakanda. But I don't think they had the time, budget nor cared enough to teach the actors the accent and pronunciation. As a result even Xhosa people had to read the English subtitles to truly understand what was being said. It became even worse in the movies that came after Civil War and the first Black Panther movie. This became a big joke on social media. So in this ad the "Wakandan" and the guy they are approaching are both speaking isiXhosa but the accents are so extremely different that the Xhosa guy cannot even understand him. Hence the line, "I thought they speak Ex-hoza here" Also, yeah! The sandwich is the Big John. But clearly the queen wanted it so badly but probably assumed that her people know what it is.
@@LeeChungTu7230 Yes, Nando's uses controversy or the latest trending topic to make a quick ad. Chicken Licken puts time and effort into their ads, they are classic. You forget a Nando's ad from 10 years ago but you won't forget the CL.
I was fortunate to have lived in Cape Town for 12yrs working in the film and modelling industry. SA's AD game is unmatched. They are big players in the field, so much so that it is one of the go to for many companies from all over the world to film movies and ads. They have been winning international awards in the AD industry globally for years now. The best time and experience of my life hands down. Chicken Licken hot wings!!? 🤤🤤 I miss those and that SA humour.
As South African we live in our planet in our heads we are the most craziest and creative people , we don't even take dangerous or bad things serious. We are very playful at most times and quick to forgive.
Chicken Licken's adverts have always been insane! They are so creative. South African commercials are good- top notch! And Big John is a chicken burger, not a sandwich.
I'm South African and lived in Ghana for a while. I met a British family and one day we went to lunch in a small fishing village. We ordered off the menu where it shows a delicious hamburger. We ordered hamburgers for all of us. It came out of the kitchen with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles and a juicy beef patty 😋, but.... They didn't have buns in this small fishing village so it had a 2 inch slice of bread at the bottom and also on top. The British lady started to cry...there were plenty of wine involved so 😭 she cried the ugly cry because this was NOT what she ordered. She drank too much and too fast. It's more than 10 years ago and we still laugh when we reminisce about that day and that lady. In Africa, we adapt or die.
It's the Milky Bar African. Haven't seen this ad, lost my sight five years ago, but that's not my main message. Want the OG of Chicken likin ads? Search Joe Mafela, the ads looked simple, but was nuanced in a specific African style. I still miss his theatrical works and appearances. He's up there with John Kani, Tichaka. Joe also brought the new jingle "it's good, it's good, it's nice." all spelling mistakes are mine, assistive tech can read back foreign surnames wrong. BTW look up older Nando's ads. They were epic. Unfortunately I can't share links here. Stay blessed. PS, I write too much but apologise for not seeing it live.
Just for interest sake, the first Chicken Licken was a road house in the deep south of Johannesburg. It was next to a well known Service Station called Uncle Charlie's. Then in the mid 1980s a new highway was built and the roadhouse was bypassed. So the owner did what Colonel Sanders did and started new store outlets in the suburbs, till it is the well known Chicken chain of today. I also was around in Cape Town in my youth when the first Pick n Pay started and the first Clicks store started in the early 1970s. It makes me old 😂
Haybo, wakanda has nothing to do with Makhanda or John Kani, it's a fictional place that was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and its ruler, the Black Panther, in the Marvel Comics issue Fantastic Four #52 (1966). A simple Google would have helped you know this.
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE ignore him, John Kani was consulted and this was his suggestion. the H from Makhanda was dropped so not to create unnecessary confusion for viewers. of course credit goes to the producers or creators of the Marvel series, consultants can't be credited with individual contributions, same way not all who work on a song would be credited Masters of the production. Same case here but JK did consult.

@@Mäfé_The_African except it's true though 🤷🏾♂️ Wakanda was created way before the MCU was a thing... And originally Wakanda was somewhere near the Nigerian border and nowhere near SA( In fact Queen Ramonda in Marvel comics is canonically from South Africa and a foreigner in Wakanda)🤷🏾♂️ They just changed MCU Wakanda into South Africa because they had already used Johannesburg as a stand-in for a Wakanda City in Avengers age of Ultron when Hulk fought the Hulk buster( Again before John Kani was even cast to play an older version of T'Chaka) The only thing John Kani could have done is come up with the idea of Xhosa being a national Wakandan language, Not Wakanda itself nor the Name of the country
We have very strict competition laws, so commercials have to be very subtle and usually opt for comedy to make an impact rather than just bashing the opposition. I’ve seen American commercials that literally say buy our product because that (other) product (mentioned by name) is crap. Can’t do that here. Check out some Nandos ads too. They reigned supreme for many years, being quick off the marks with memes whenever a juicy story hits the news. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of the team got head hunted by Chicken Licken. I think Nandos once actually aimed one at Chicken Licken claiming their cock was bigger. It’s all quite hilarious.
So the language thing is the "Wakanda" people spoke a language that they thought is spoken in South Africa, he says "I thought they spoke EX-HOSA on this planet" or something like that but it's actually XHOSA which is a language here so based on this commercial there is a language called EX-HOSA and he spoke that language to the South African guy so it's a dig at the American accent that he used to pronounce the language or word XHOSA .. then when he enters the chicken lickin' he asks for big John.. so the dude behind the counter points to the dude that is packaging the Big John burger and when the Wakanda people asks the guy at the back that is boxing the big John burger "big John?"

the characters from Wakanda was TRYING to speak Xhosa, but their pronunciation was WAYYY off, I'm from Cape Town too, you quickly learn by having black Xhosa speaking friends that they have a whole HOST of clicks where theyu pronounce certain letters like only Xhosa people pronounce them, luckily I grew up trilingual (two local n one foreign language), so my toungue is very liquid
