Vintage Cookie Thumper Review

Cookie Thumper Review

If you’ve never seen a Die Antwoord Video, you may be a little uncomfortable watching Cookie Thumper. If you have seen one, and would like to see more, you’ll love it.

Die Antwoord is known for their quality production of shock material and Cookie Thumper is a great example of it. If I rated things, it would still be hard to rate this because they don’t really fit into any genre and neither does their work. The music is a blend of South African Hip-Hop, Pop, Shock-Rock, and RedBull. The videos would make Alfred Hitchcock get up and politely leave the room. So should you watch it? YES!

It takes place in South Africa like most of their videos and could almost be a sequal to “Baby’s on fire” in a kind of Die Antwoord-fucked-up way, where Yo-Landi loses her Mother, Father, and Brother somehow, because Ninja makes no appearance in this one.

The beginning is Yo-Landi talking in that weird English/French/Slang language they speak in, and she buys drugs from a guy named Anies. She’s obviously into him. She finds out that he’s in two gangs and tells him he can visit her at the orphanage some time.

The rest of the video is Yo-Landi tearing up the track in a school girl uniform/bra and panties, and spitting that wild language and being bad-schoolgirl-seductive, while peeing on the floor, getting paddled, foodfighting, pillowfighting, and finally sneeking out to bang Anies.

This video is slightly less conseptual than some of Die Antwoord’s other videos but that’s not really saying much. In one of their videos their characters are machine-gun packing wheelchair jockeys rolling around being mischievous. Even though the plot of Cookie Thumper is less fucked up, the shock-rock/hip-hop energy that has won their cult following is in full force for Cookie Thumper. So yeah, go ahead, watch it again. Get ready for new Die Antwoord stuff soon. You can always find lots of great new stuff at Noisey
