So smart, versatile, quick-witted, handsome and a fashion icon. He's got it all!

I thought that it was hilarious that Taika decided to play Hitler himself in "Jojo Rabbit", so as to spare that awkward casting call. No one else could have played imaginary Hitler quite like him! 😂🤣

[harlequeenchannel]

Love his recent interviews where he diverts the topic to talk about ofmd XD. You can tell he loves it so much and talks so positively about its representation

[DanielleA]

He is the first and so far only Director that I have ever watched everything he has done. Honorable mentions: the Thor interview with Jeff Goldblum, the Directors Guild panel, The Wilderness People & his first Oscar screenplay nomination 💯👍🏼👏🏼

I absolutely loved him in Free Guy - there’s a small moment in the film when he makes a ridiculous request of the art department and gets their attention by bellowing across the office ‘oh ART NERDS!’ I don’t know why that makes me giggle so hard, maybe his delivery like a medieval spoiled prince summoning a courtier, but it’s one I absolutely love

[AI-Assist-]

I love Taika … He’s incredibly funny and talented

[underobsidianskies]

What we do in the Shadows is one of my favourite films. A spin-off from this, I would also recommend 'Wellington Paranormal' (not Taika but similar mockumentary style and hilarious)

[StLProgressive]

The vampire murder trial was the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. ‘Pre-meditated vampicide!’

[elizabethholden]

Taika's best work was "Our Flag Means Death", which was really groundbreaking. But all of his work is good, even the ads.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople!! How could it not even rate a mention? Taika and Sam Neill (plus Rhys Darby). My god, brilliant.

[PizzaHorseProductions]

Taika is filmmaking goals - I am a super-indie filmmaker (my budget is donuts for the cast and crew, most of the time) and I absolutely want to work up to his level of skill and talent. He has an eye for film that I can only aspire to

[tenofivelips]

Anything Taiki does has a sweetness and humanity to it.

[katebriscoe]

He has the biggest personality of anyone I can think of

[richardware]

He is not dancing in "Boy". It is his Haka to Michael Jackson.
Hakas are not just done before sporting events, but at Weddings, Funerals, and to honour someone.

[lisafish]

Taika is a sassy, beautiful treasure.

[mumble]

Taika has to be one of the most brilliant comedic minds of our time

[eddiehayes]

Hitler would be SO angry to be portrayed by Taika Waititi, a Māori fulla from New Zealand. That's part of the beauty of it.

[lockabar]

I remember watching "What We do in the Shadows" awhile back and thinking wtf did I just watch? Well I better watch it again and find out. That's the first I heard of Taika Waititi. I think he's a funny guy with a great sense of humor. I look forward to more of his work.

[rick]

One of my favorite writer director I love all of his stuff

[johanvajse]

You have the glorious movie The Hunt for the Wilderpeople to show for his pride in New Zealand but you pick a friggin Moana clip?
