Viral Visual: Palestinian Parody of Van Damme Volvo Video

volvo
Palestinian comedy show Bas Ya Zalameh have taken on Jean Claude Van Damme’s recent “Epic Split” commercial for Volvo, in which the action icon does the splits between two trucks. This funny but true remake features Mahmoud Zuaiter as Van Damme, straddling the space between two adjacent cars while a voiceover speaks to Gaza‘s poor living conditions. Check out the video – even better than the original, in our opinion – below.

 

 

“The electricity cuts off 12 hours at a time. I have gone to sleep and woken up and the electricity would still not be back, and the water comes on when the electricity is off. I miss taking a shower! All of this does not make Van Damme better than me, but, unfortunately there is no gas in town.”

 

WE SAID THIS: In case you missed it, check out “No Woman, No Drive”, a Saudi spoof of the Bob Marley classic.
