Guy Williams has stopped racism in specific areas, tried to find who killed a magical dolphin, tried to help a woman who didn't get her twenty dollars back, got his underwear cleaned, and travelled all across the country of New Zealand to do so. Absolute legend mate. Chur the boy, the guy, Guy Williams.
Can confirm, I am from the US and have arrived in Opononi literally today, like, less than an hour ago. Only reason it was even on my radar is because I saw this segment on TV when it first aired.
@@acejay1 So? Don't you get the concept of judging someone by the content of their character? He could of got that when he was a teenager and has changed since, he could of got it because black power looked after him when he was young and vulnerable. Why does it matter though?
One of my earliest memories is on holidays in Opinoni. These kids were playing on the wharf and one fell in fully clothed. My dad went straight into hero action mode and like a flash was down to his undies ready for the big rescue. Then someone goes 'it's alright he can swim'. We watched him casually swim to shore with dad standing there in his undies.
Opononi has the best people.... really does. When I spent time their I found everyone was really friendly and inquisitive and they are all just the best people so thanks to the locals for being so kind, I will never forget my visit to your town..... oh and go Guy....
I couldn't stop laughing at "They stabbed me in the chest" & the awkward silence that followed. Really hope the breakdancing Taniwha makes a comeback in an upcoming season.
Happy to see this is getting another season! Im from the UK so we dont really watch Jono and Ben here and its not really my thing. New Zealand today though provides an amazing insight into the country
I'm a geordie who ended up in NZ in 95. The funniest thing about NZ Today is that you can walk down the street and have exactly the same conversations. It's for reals.
@@1998TDM So the country is amazing as it looks? The country itself obviously looks amazing but what really pulled me in is the people who all seem to be really laid back and have great humor.
Its such a simple concept, man with camera crew and microphone travels around the place being silly,... but the genuine happiness being spread is legitimate and overwhelming.- He's picked up where Havo and News ended. I LOVED that he had the emotional intelligence to reel it back in when Dawn started getting upset.
Wow, that place is beautiful. Imagine getting there as sailors on some ship from England in the 1700's. I would have stayed and never went back to cold, drizzly old England.
I went there once, by accident. I was on my way to a Lesbian Yodelling Workshop in Hihi bay, but missed the turnoff. Opononi was closed but someone had left a light on.

What does 'chur' mean? I feel like it's some Kiwi secret...

This series does a better tourism campaign than that "good morning world " shit.

Yeah right, just make sure you don't get in the boot of a car against your will.
Yea so bs they cancelled it...

Might be a silly question (I’m Aussie 🤷🏼♂️) but what’s wrong with black power?
@@thecountysfinest

Blockhouse bay hella mysterious. Havnt seen walking man around for awhile. Or two husky dude.

Good old uncle herb 🤣🤣
Donnaalex1993 him or Shane Robinson for opononi personality of the year 🙌🏾🔥
Guy Williams: *breathes*
Taniwha: *does the splits*
Omg this is funny.
This is the kiwi-est shit I've seen in my life
It's obvious a lot of us here in Aotearoa love the laughs this show gives us so how can we help to keep it running?
sell it to channel 2, seriously get a patreon for him
Give about one million dollars to Guy Williams
By just simply keep watching and sharing.. The more you watch.. The. More the show gets money to keep this going ❤️
@@hopeshealthnz9704 not that simple. Channel 3 is in trouble.
Herb Leef is a treasure. Thank you for sharing this warm soul with us ❤
He sells meth to the community lol
Ah, the breakdancing Taniwha of Maori legend..
and his beatboxing jimjobbing cuz jim. there you go disney, moana 2
09:09 - 09:20 almost pissed myself at that exchange
Me too 😂😂😂😂 had to replay it a couple times
"Ko Shane Robinson, and who are you? " 😂😂😂
So bloody funny. Its that type of stuff i love about New Zealanders.
i love how guy gets into random, awesome, kiwi situations
Guy: "you just said you don't do tricks"
Taniwha:" Yeah well, I just tricked ya"
you can see Guy die a little because of someone with a quick wit
why does the taniwha guy look like a human version of big Z from surfs up
Just stumbled upon this beautiful channel! New Zealanders are the best at dead pan humor! It makes me die
It's funny because I can vouch that "dead pan" comes naturally here.
Honestly such a shame this show is over. One of the best homegrown shows to ever come out. Great work Guy! Gonna miss it.
"We need jobs." HAHAHA relatable
"Cos if I tell them to do it, they aint gonna do it hard"
I will now live the rest of my life based on this mans logic 🙌
Give guy Williams his own show!!
This is his own show lol
What a great episode. Herb Leef, what a great man for the community, a guide for the youngsters.
Probably the best video I have ever watched on RUclips
Dawn is the sweetest woman and she still has those same eyes! What a treasure.
This encapsulates why I love New Zealand.
His shows were so funny,lighthearted but he touched some serious topics.Gonna miss ya
My Dad lived in Opononi for 8 months during which time his house got broken into 3 times.
Great fishing tho
"jimjobs man, its 3 bucks"
"whats a jimjob?"
"well im jim and I do the job"
Opononi has the best people.... really does. When I spent time their I found everyone was really friendly and inquisitive and they are all just the best people so thanks to the locals for being so kind, I will never forget my visit to your town..... oh and go Guy....
YESSSS! Its always a good day when New Zealand Today is on the Tube!
Opononi is so underrated and the taniwha is an absolute legend can confirm.
This the most wholesome video I ever watched at 1AM
the name reveal honestly killed me, this episode has got me wheezing
I couldn't stop laughing at "They stabbed me in the chest" & the awkward silence that followed.
Really hope the breakdancing Taniwha makes a comeback in an upcoming season.
I'm sorry but Guy berating poor Dawn is my favorite bit of this
"Did you kill Opo?"
"😢😢.......... that's a ghastly thing!"
she's so sweet 😂
Crack up. Such a good soul genuinely upset at the ridiculous accusation.
herb leaf is the reincarnated dolphin
Fight your show getting cancelled 😭😭
WHAT!?
its absolutely fucked
How could they cancel Guy???
I know right guys the best thing since Jono and Ben 😭😭
It's being cancelled ???

Thankyou for some good old entertainment and a good laugh something this world needs more often...but it takes a kiwi to do it
Damn. What a great episode.
P.S. Twas a little cringe when he accused the old lady of being a sociopathic dolphin killer.
Especially she was only 4 at the time 🤣 A bit harsh guy even for a comedy skit 😡
this was absolutely radical. thank you guy williams
Herb "taniwha" leaf is a legend
He's so funny I always see him around
I like how your laugh sounds like my asthma attack
Its such a simple concept, man with camera crew and microphone travels around the place being silly,... but the genuine happiness being spread is legitimate and overwhelming.- He's picked up where Havo and News ended.
I LOVED that he had the emotional intelligence to reel it back in when Dawn started getting upset.
Taniwha, you’re AWESOME!!😂 Hope to come across him some day soon!!🙌🏽👌🏽
New Zealand: truly a land of beauty and mystery.
The mystery of the devonport locals Facebook group
😂😂😂
There’s never been a bigger group of snobs
Sup Oscar!
9:09 that was on of the best interactions ive seen between 2 people seen in my life
I'm pretty sure the Taniwha is on some of that P they were talking about
😂😂😂
Poor guy got stabbed Several times and he still "Love Life To The Fullest" Solid bro blessed Taniwha! 😭
That was hilarious when he asked that woman if she killed Opo!
This is top notch comedy how does he find these characters bloody excellent
suggestion: next season of New Zealand Today is hosted by Herb Leef.
Of all the stories on Opononi by journalists, Guy Williams' effort here is one of them.
Honest, funny, and culturally relevant comedy. On ya Guy.
Dont cancel this show ill save up some money and buy it. Guy williams has crazy dance moves
I want to meet the Taniwha. He seems like a pretty chill dude.
You're the man Guy, glad you're back..Still waiting for you to do the split's guy hahahaha
Just seen guy on a russel Howard TV show im from London and I instantly smiled more than I have in ages. Great to see you on TV 😃
Lol at herb leef's restricted licence
Taniwha appears wherever he is needed
Hello my brother...
I reckon Guy has met most of the Black Power members in the country from this show
Absolutely awesome!! The BEST fish and chips. Opo is such a beautiful and sepical place in NORTHLAND. Great work guy🇳🇿👍
Just discovered this show today and its outstanding
Damn this makes me miss Opo & Omapere, good times growing up there❤️
Same, went to Opononi Area School and lived up Fairly Cres
“ uhm dynamite” 😂😂😂
This show is fkn GOLD!
"P and Fishing" this is meant to be a tourism campaign lmao.
5:41 I am 100% convinced that man is a real taniwha.
This is bloody brilliant.
Wow, that place is beautiful.
Imagine getting there as sailors on some ship from England in the 1700's. I would have stayed and never went back to cold, drizzly old England.
Good lord it’s a beautiful town with some wonderful denizens . . .

My Grandparents live in Opo, imma keep my eyes peeled for the Taniwha when I go visit next month hahahah 😂
Glad the nice old lady got her ball back at the end
I love this ❤ Cant wait to visit Opononi this year!
This is amazing 😂
I remember visiting this place a few times as a kid.. I think we had ice cream every time!
This is actually what the hokianga is like 😂
I went there once, by accident. I was on my way to a Lesbian Yodelling Workshop in Hihi bay, but missed the turnoff. Opononi was closed but someone had left a light on.
Guy William's should have his own talk show!!
Herb Leef the Taniwhaa is without doubt the coolest, bravest dude and excellent splitter . .
One of the funniest yet very educational videos I’ve witnessed...well done Guy and Herb I’m very pleased...hah bless
Another amazing episode!!
Oh my fucking god i lost my shit when mans done the splits
