Copy & paste this:


They are Maori, indigenous to New Zealand, those are faces meant to scare their enemy during war.
The guy on the far right frightens his foes with apathy.
Ha ha, Boba was thinking the same thing.
bahaha, i laughed so much after this.
and who are the guys in the background??
…badump
Damn! What a dis! Lols!!!
Yeah, we know, it’s called haka.
It’s still funny.
the haka is a war chant. that is a face to frighten your enemy.
It’s called a pukana
isnt it meant to say that Im going to eat you after I kill you?
yes it is!
Jake took my comment.
“what do you mean cannibals?
Yes, many traditional Maori dances feature these warrior-like faces, meant to scare enemies. Not a Photobomb, just Maori tribesmen posing and mugging for tourists’ cameras.
Why is this considered a photobomb? This is a traditional Maori greeting, ask anyone who’s been to New Zealand.
I live in New Zealand. My school has a Haka group. This is what they do. Its no photo-bomb.
bloody maoris!!!!!
Boba likes how the far right one didn’t get the memo.
Caption is extremely offensive. I am Maori and it is rude to call Maori people natives. These are men who have obviously either just finished doing a haka or a powhiri (welcoming)
Why is it offensive to call Maori “natives”? Are they not natives? Is it because the Mori Ori got there first?
No they weren’t. That is propaganda made up by the British to justify their own colonization of NZ. BTW, this has been proven.
There was no-one in NZ pre1200CE (also proven with archeology).
Calm down Jahdey – no-one outside NZ will know what Tangata Whenua means…
Quit your whining. I bet your iwi is whining that your last multi-million dollar settlement with land wasn’t big enough, and you want another one.
And I bet you’re the ratbag who smashed up the phone box down the road.
haha, nice, i can tell you are a true blue NZer
Ugh, natives heap big restless. Go back ‘um stew pot, have old friend over for dinner.
The Mori Ori were there first the Maori invaded and ate them all so they aren’t natives they are cannibals.
No they weren’t… See my comment above…
I’m maori and umm…yeah how is it offensive to call us natives. are the maroi not the indigenous people of NZ?
maori war face?
Jake is right. Not a photobomb, more like cultural ignorance.
Jahdey – How do you consider the word native rude? Native means to belong or be from the orgin of your birth. So an example would be “I am a native of the United States, more specifically I am a native of Las Vegas, NV.” So these Maori men are natives of New Zealand.
Don’t be so quick to get offended.
And to everyone else that is offended, not everyone has had the ability to go to New Zealand, so they wouldn’t know about this. It can easily be mistaken that it was something funny the faces being made because the man on the right is not making one. So again, I don’t find this photo any more ignorant than half of these photos on here, but you know what? This is a website you come here to laugh and enjoy yourself, not be all judgemental and easily offended.
Yeah well, like I said above, you don’t need to go there to know a bit about the native cannibals and their culture. But it’s still funny.l
Cultural researchers have discovered that the origin of the haka actually lies in a blind date. Not only that, they managed to capture the expressions of the men when they saw their dates. The rest is history.
Yes, it’s cultural and perfectly normal, but you can’t say the one on the far left isn’t overdoing it just a tad…
um nope he’s not, that’s a really good Tu face, protruding eyes, tongue out and flat. Great challenge. Refer to the faces in here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PcmHqwP7Ow
yeah – don’t call Maori natives because they were just bloody imports too.
Or maybe it’s just a joke retards. Everyhink of that
i just want to know how you make your eyes pop out of your head like the guy on the left…
Is the middle one Ace Ventura?!
Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka ora! Ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate!
Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tenei te tangata puhuru-huru
Nana nei i tiki mai,
Whakawhiti te ra!
Aue upane! Aue kaupane!
Aue upane, kaupane
Whiti te ra!
I think I love you
this is a photobomb. it’s happening in Mississippi.
hahaha what a crack up! i’m one of the performers in the pic, the ladies in front of us wanted a nice friendly photo with us “MAORI” and at the last second we pulled a pukana(eyes and tounge). its a lil inside joke we do to tourist. the pukana is an act of defiance(get fuckd), its shows your enemy what thier head will look like cut off and on the end of my spear! the ladies in front had no idea and thankd us for the nice photo. lol
really that’s cool, i thought the tongue thing was basicly saying “i am going to enjoy your mana,” i guess it depends on the context of it. and love the maori people i mean they make the all black one of the best if not the best rugby team in the world
If you ask me it rather shows what your head will look like cut off and at the end of your enemy’s spear. Personally, I prefer my enemies to have no idea what hit them.
Murphy Brown has lost some weight.
we come from new zealand this is there pose just before they steal your wallet hahahahahha
Does no one read the titles over the photos? “Tourism is serious business”.
This is the standard tourist photo taken at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Seems to me that the meant photobomb is not the people with crazy expressions (since that’s their job) but one of the two (or both) that look like they are having a terrible time.
Haka bomb! Nice one bro!
Omg i live in New Zealand. Thos faces are meant to scar you.
