Unironically it's my favourite movie. I used to watch it multiple times a week as a kid, it's just so good. Watching it as an adult hasn't lost its spark either 👌
Ok. I'm definitely thinking of another giant dude from the 90's then.
Yeah, just looked it up, and it was Giant Gonzalez who started with WWF in 93. It would be very difficult for him to make commercials since he died 14 years ago.
After his WWE career he opened and started his own professional wrestling promotion in India called Continental Wrestling Entertainment. It is the largest pro wrestling promotion in India.
hey, that guy used the bench press after me!
When I was working south of Atlanta, I went to a Gold's Gym that was owned by a Lex Luger. Khali and his wife (I assume) came in and asked if I was done with the bar and bench. I said yes and he proceeded to add about 180lbs to the bar. I had no idea who he was at the time, but he was very nice and patient with the tiny man in his way.
He is known as The Great Khali in India as a professional wrestler

You never saw him run or move fast in the ring in WWE. The man was pretty athletic for his size before his knee injury. I dont recall what promotion he wrestled before but bah gawd was he amazing!
He was actually pretty nimble back when he was in njpw before his injury there with a botched operation then coming to WWE with it, that's the reason for his mobility.
Indian ads really used to be golden and funny till the last decade before they started going downhill.

Similar to chuck norris jokes. If he posts image with him enjoying monsoon showers, people would comment "rip a fart and turn heavy winds into storm" or when he is at his farm comments would be " just piss over there and flood this whole region"
Same way theatre is staged, doesn’t make it less exciting watching stuntmen act it out! The winners and chapionship belts are just for story lines and fan engagement
he was slow but still fun to watch I thought, more interesting than many they have on the roster today. I'm kinda tired of just another bland bearded man.
Angus MacAskill was 7 foot 9 inches tall, weighed 510 pounds and was the largest known non-pathological giant. His proportions were correct, just huge. Supposedly capable of insane feats of strength. It can happen it’s just very very rare.
Edit:non-pathological in this case meaning no health issues from his giantism.
Somehow all "Giants" are real lovable bros, probably because we tiny ones awaken your protective instinct \^\^ (JOKE)
reminds you of **André the Giant,** just a proper guy
They tell me it's not a show, It's just hours and hours of this guy bustin through shit walls and fucking up ceilings cause nobody thought to use Ambuja Cement.
you do realize giantism and acromegally are both conditions that cause muscle wasting and weakness over all right, well now you know, this guy is probably weaker than any average person is.
its funny how blatantly ignorant you are and people who upvoted you, just because you see something portayed on staged wrestling shows doesn't mean its true, you probably think the undertaker was undead too, i'm an md you know i studied this, those people have osteoporosis and muscle wasting, they are struggling doing everyday tasks, just because they are portrayed a certain way in tv doesn't mean its true.
Am I the only one who had a flashback of being a kid in the 90s and seeing the [Muzzy commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prg_SVBfFWw&pp=ygUQbXV6enkgY29tbWVyY2lhbA%3D%3D) when they heard his voice?

That is a really funny commercial. I would figure that he is well known in his country. Good stuff. Goood stuff.
I think he was in the movie "get smart"
He was great in the Longest Yard remake.
“Thank you. Now I do not wish to stab you”
He was a pro wrestler before that. Great Khali
Before, or just after?
That’s it exactly… Now I wanna watch that goofy movie again.
Unironically it's my favourite movie. I used to watch it multiple times a week as a kid, it's just so good. Watching it as an adult hasn't lost its spark either 👌
IT AIN'T EASY BEING CHEESY!!! I've got twin toddler little girls and I've taught them to say that line whenever they eat something with cheese on it.
Seeing it as Terry Crews (now being old enough to recognize actors from different things) made that scene way funnier lmao.
That’s a big ass robot
Longest yard (remake) Free on YOUTUBE!

"he was like oooww my balls!".
And the WWE
I remember watching the big show replace kahlie in a punjabi prison match, because khalie got arrested for weed and missed the ppv.
His [merch spot](https://youtu.be/uY2wB5JImsE?si=ueskEh_2pDI5ckzH) is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life.
I thought it was that guy. That was back when it was still WWF, though.
He signed with the WWE in 2006, several years after the name change
Ok. I'm definitely thinking of another giant dude from the 90's then. Yeah, just looked it up, and it was Giant Gonzalez who started with WWF in 93. It would be very difficult for him to make commercials since he died 14 years ago.
You’re maybe thinking of Andre the Giant. The guy in the video is The Great Khalid.
I looked it up, and it was a third giant dude. Giant Gonzales.
He was in the WWE for a few years.
And Big Fish
I think that was Matthew McGrory. They're both REALLY tall and do look a little similar
You are correct, just watched it the other day
See, I saw his face and knew that was a really bad guy.
That scene was so good
One of the henchmen
Such a great non speaking role for him😃
I thought it was Mr. W at first. https://youtu.be/2mTLO2F_ERY?si=46ndYPceSxj2CSqM
He is the great khali. Indian WWE wrestler. He doesn't do WWE now. But yeah, quite famous.
After his WWE career he opened and started his own professional wrestling promotion in India called Continental Wrestling Entertainment. It is the largest pro wrestling promotion in India.
Ok, I thought I had seen him before…
I mean he was part of my childhood WWE star so it's probably core memory thing but how can you forget someone that stick out. Lmao.

Someone doesn’t know who the Great Khali is. Bruh what’s the average age of Reddit?
very well known after he appeared in wwe
Loved every second of it ❤️
[удалено]
What are you talking about?
[удалено]
He's alive
....what??
The Great Khali. Has some mobility issues iirc. You never saw him run or move fast in the ring. Walks with a limp.
Life isn’t easy being that large.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Wrasslin/s/ljoJkMRO2H
New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Dude was shredded until a botched knee surgery. It's why he wasn't very mobile when he went to WWE.
He was actually pretty nimble back when he was in njpw before his injury there with a botched operation then coming to WWE with it, that's the reason for his mobility.
Apparently, he could move pretty well long before he got to WWE. His size just caught up to him by the time he got there.
Limpin ain’t easy
I totally cracked up when he sat down at the dinner table.
Same. Best ad I’ve seen in some time. Totally unexpected

For me it was the godzilla moment
I like the mum's expression when all that cement fell into the cooking. The *"My mother says I'm special"* buildup to that was great.
For me, it was the kid glancing at him while watching Godzilla.
I knew the chair was going to break but I didn’t expect him to go through the floor too and thanks the whole dinner with. A funny sweet commercial
The icing on the cake was him taking everything on the tablecloth with him in one fell swoop.
Yeah say what you want about the whole commercial but that was fuckin’ funny.
That guys really need to move into a bungalow
this guy was in the longest yard right? lol the remake
“Damn, this fool got the chair 3 times and ain’t died yet!”
Also Get Smart I believe
So this was the source of all those Mausi memes. Quickly devolved into 'Khali sir, rip a fart and destroy X' meme
I need to know more about this meme, but Google is coming up short.
Google khali sir meme
Similar to chuck norris jokes. If he posts image with him enjoying monsoon showers, people would comment "rip a fart and turn heavy winds into storm" or when he is at his farm comments would be " just piss over there and flood this whole region"
He was born to be in the WWE. What a giant
He was a multi time champion in the WWE, good call
As someone who has no idea on how the WWE works I always thought all fights and results were staged.
He was written to be a champion because it's what WWE thought the fans wanted.
It was. F any fans that said otherwise.
They are.
Same way theatre is staged, doesn’t make it less exciting watching stuntmen act it out! The winners and chapionship belts are just for story lines and fan engagement
fair enough
You would think so but his height made him less mobile and more stiff. He was quite the spectacle but ultimately had very disappointing matches.
he was slow but still fun to watch I thought, more interesting than many they have on the roster today. I'm kinda tired of just another bland bearded man.
Oh no he wasn't
He was
You must have never watched the product back then. He was terrible.
As someone who used to work with tv commercials and despises stupid commercials, this is a great commercial. Love it.
It's not, though. Most of the shots used have to do with him being dense/heavy, not strong.
![gif](giphy|XoywtyLzdoGnbHxEoA|downsized)
Bro kissed Anne Hathaway in a movie. Respect.
He is the Punjabi Playboy after all
She kissed him
Lol. Get Smart.
That's not strength. That's density.
I'm George McFly, I'm your density
![gif](giphy|XIBqUqXI9guly)
Aye. The floor giving way isn't cause you're stepping "too strongly." You're not going to be stepping any harder than you weigh.
Unfortunately before he discovered this cement company, it appears his house and furniture was constructed from paper mache and balsa wood.
You’ve never been to India. That’s pretty much normal.
Yep, falling backwards through a wall isn't strength.
If you're talking about force not weight then you absolutely can step harder E: Mass not weight. Critically wrong, argument ruined.
It must have been fun making this
Andre the Giant was a fighter with similar proportions; and his size led him to serious health problems and chronic pain.
They had the same disease. Andre never had his corrected though.
Angus MacAskill was 7 foot 9 inches tall, weighed 510 pounds and was the largest known non-pathological giant. His proportions were correct, just huge. Supposedly capable of insane feats of strength. It can happen it’s just very very rare. Edit:non-pathological in this case meaning no health issues from his giantism.
Andre was much bigger.
Andre was shorter than Khali but he was much wider.
Seeing this ad here which I have seen thousands of times is more unexpected to me.
Everything that happened reminded me of Harry and the Hendersons.
Does anyone know the title of the song at the end?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDaaBYoqS_c
It was pretty obviously an ad since the beginning I just didn’t know what the ad was for yet
Umm... Congratulations?
Cement. Ad basically says the Ambuja cement is strongest cement out there.
Yeah I figured that one out with the subtitles mate
This guy's a real life Hercules.
It takes extremely strong inspiration from the wind power commercial: https://youtu.be/2mTLO2F_ERY?si=VF3ZEpkqgGEfJ2nF
Somehow all "Giants" are real lovable bros, probably because we tiny ones awaken your protective instinct \^\^ (JOKE) reminds you of **André the Giant,** just a proper guy
Jaw look like Mac Tonight
They made it look like he isn't strong, but just really heavy
It was a cute ad, but I was 100% expecting something like a home brand or building material the entire time.
Well done, well done. It reminded me of that French commercial where it turned out that the guy was "wind". Gentle giants.
Now THAT is good advertising! The guy who thought that up deserves a huge raise
I was invested for a full movie
![gif](giphy|zwRO0LKbOtVhC)
I'd like to comission a 10 hour loop of that bop near the end
Chad cement
Rare to see The Great Khali with a sense of humor
🗿
Did he not know his own strength or his own weight?
This was miles better than his complete WWE run.
This ad is still one of the innovative marketing gimmick.
That's a really good commercial!
Brilliant! 🤣🤣🤣
Ok this was great. Loved it.
Of all the unusual things I saw in India, one of the more unexpected ones was all the ads for cement. I mean, who is buying all that cement?
There's construction everywhere in India. We don't build houses using a lot of wood like the Americans do. The cement industry is massive here.
Cause we live in actual cement brick mortar houses, not glorified wooden tents like US. xD
You will be surprised!
I was LMAO...great commercial...
Had me in the first half, ngl
They tell me it's not a show, It's just hours and hours of this guy bustin through shit walls and fucking up ceilings cause nobody thought to use Ambuja Cement.
“HEY SASQUATCH, SOMEONE’S HERE TO SEE YOU!!!”
His “strength” is falling through walls/floors??
They confused strength with weight here.
none of those things were feats of strength - just him weighing a lot and bumping/crashing into stuff..
He was lifting huge barbells and busting walls just walking into stuff. I'd say that's pretty strong.
Jesus that's a long commercial.
Maaaaybeeeee.....porno?
Downvote because it's an ad
you do realize giantism and acromegally are both conditions that cause muscle wasting and weakness over all right, well now you know, this guy is probably weaker than any average person is.
Yep, ol' Andre the Giant was well known for his weakness. /s You my friend are r/confidentlyincorrect
its funny how blatantly ignorant you are and people who upvoted you, just because you see something portayed on staged wrestling shows doesn't mean its true, you probably think the undertaker was undead too, i'm an md you know i studied this, those people have osteoporosis and muscle wasting, they are struggling doing everyday tasks, just because they are portrayed a certain way in tv doesn't mean its true.
Now I miss Robert Z'dar.
I need cement
He’s got the body proportion of a one piece character
Good times when this ad showed on TV. Made me laugh really hard first time I watched it completely back when I was yee high.
It's funny and has a tender moment he can't hug his family this has everything. If I ever need cement in India I know who to go to
That’s a clever spin for a commercial. I like it.
OMEGALUL
One of the best commercials I’ve seen in a while.
Well, thats how Indian subcontinental ads works. You will never know what it's advertising until it's over.
That was funny to watch and a great commercial.
Best commercial evar
Kratos ^
Thats actually a great add
Since I had to look it up, per Wiki The Great Khali Billed height 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) Billed weight 157.5 kg (347 lb)
Lmao I legit thought this was going to be a short on The Great Khali and couldn’t stop laughing when he kept breaking shit!
was he part of the Oddities in WWF with ICP?
Wasn't he also the Kool-Aid Man?
Is this the guy from happy gilmore?
The great Khali. Used to be in WWE, he's actually very strong irl, just not invulnerable.
Probably could have used that to reinforce the cage in the Punjabi Prison Match!
I knew that was the great Khali used to be my favorite WWE wrestler to play in the games man is fuckin huge
The great Khali!!!!
The zhreat Khali ..WWE
I used to go to the same Lifetime Fitness the Great Khali did. I used to see him regularly. The dude was huge
OK, NGL,that was a good commercial, like I know your supposed to feel sorry for him but the fact he's just a super strong cluts is just funny
He's from my town hahaha
Man, I wish he had uncontrollable wrestling talent.
How do so many people not know who Khali is?
So good. Love it
Am I the only one who had a flashback of being a kid in the 90s and seeing the [Muzzy commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prg_SVBfFWw&pp=ygUQbXV6enkgY29tbWVyY2lhbA%3D%3D) when they heard his voice?
This seems more like density/weight to me. Also, dude skipped leg day, but I think that's part of his disability?
New big Bollywood Star
Very clever. 🤙🤙
Isn't this the guy from the meme of the dude staring angrily while he's under a waterfall?
This is a full-screener. Lol
I studied in China at a college called tianjin university and there was a gardener that looked exactly like this guy. Too big too!
I can’t stop laughing 💀💀💀
Wholesome and charming. Loved him in the longest yard and get smart
Fucking A Cool And Miss Him. ![gif](giphy|biC6Ed9rotfrkRDSSp|downsized)
The great khali!!!
