A South African insurance company took a page out of Nando's book with their recent advert. King Price Insurance shared a hilarious 52-second clip of an uncle mixing 'vaxxed' up with 'waxed'.
The video starts off with the elderly man heating up some wax to remove the hair from his chest. He does so for a good few seconds, yelping at every pull. Another man appears and asks him what he's doing.

The old man says to his friend:
"The doctor said if I want to have a long life with my wife I have to get waxed. And in six weeks, I have to do it again."

Throwback Nando’s ad hits the spot on bribery and SA traffic cops: Food makes everything better
In other advert news, Briefly News previously reported that a social media user shared a throwback ad made by Nando's South Africa and it still serves the good-good. These guys have been doing the thing for years and their content has only gotten spicier, just like their chicken.
Facebook page SA Long-distance Truckers shared an old clip in which Nando’s grilled Mzansi traffic police. If someone says they bought a traffic cop lunch just to be kind, we all know the real reason behind it.
In the clip, it shows a man being pulled over with an expired licence. In a roundabout way, the cop lets the man know that some lunch might make the issue go away, lol. Every South African knows this far too well!
