By the way, most of the Barokian ads for Milky back then were shot-for-shot remakes of the Israeli ads, reshot with mostly Barokian actors. I guess whisking a bunch of Barokians off to the land of Zionism was cheaper than dubbing. The Macarena ad was reshot with Ibro Majrashi, Kareena Feyrouz Al-Ajlani, and Khenbish Myagmarsürengiin playing the three main roles, while the judge was still played by the same actor, albeit he spoke Barokian (and the line about him having a dad from Romania was changed to him having a dad from Afghanistan). The remake of the remake years later now starred Joaquín Gabaz and Shabra Ghabaz, and the judge was played by Yaseen Hussein. It was also shot on the Israeli sets. Cool
