Get it together, Aussies. EDIT: Australias population is 5x higher too? Explain yourselves!

The Chats are everything.

Although I'm a bigger fan of "Identity Theft" than Smoko

I saw a flat Earther say that Australians on internet are paid by NASA to make people believe in a round Earth. Australia doesn't exist 🤣

No time to be funny. They are busy trying not to be killed by something dangerous.

I saw a picture of an Australian cow eating a snake. I'm not sure how the food chain works in Australia.

Answer: If it can be eaten, it will be eaten, or envenomated while trying. That snake was full of Australian cow venom, the most potent cow venom in the world!

I think they're equally funny and they remind me of Canadians.

Disclaimer: As a Canadian, it could be a commonwealth thing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Y’all got some funny Canadians too. That Jared Keeso and his giant neck are something else

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I met a funny Canadian this one time: he said something about grits and snorting coke off Natalie Portman's ass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Wait what now? This sounds like an inside joke that I’m on the outside of

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

New Zealanders get along well with Canadians. Canadians don't like Australians, Kiwis don't like Americans, and Americans and Aussies seem to be mates.

Australians are already the ones being made fun of most of the time. That must count for something.

Welcome to Cardy Land.

They put all their funny into one ~~man~~ puppet. Randy Feltface.

A whole special by him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pkE3OFpkc

I mean look at this. Jemaine, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, the guy that did Summer Heights High with all his different characters, the Aunty Donna folks.

Who tf can compete ?

Oh no! Are they? Flippin Hole

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The guy who did Summer Heights High? He was Australian, and a racist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah wasnt one of the characters basically a New Zealand version of blackface?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yep, that was him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I'm honestly kinda conflicted on Rhys Darby now. He's hilarious in a lot of stuff, but has anyone seen his standup? Maybe it's got regional appeal, but felt super super bland. It made me look at some of his other stuff, I feel like he's got a few really good roles that he's really known for and a lot more stuff where he just kinda phones it in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Summer height high.... I forgot your funny that was. Good one!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

You know what- I’m stating to think there are some funny Australians after all. Sorry to hear about the racist one though

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Literally every other country. Australians think Tim Minchin is funny. There's something wrong with them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Sounds about right. Australians have a "macho" culture, meat heads aren't often intentionally funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

A lot of my favorite YouTubers are from Australia and quite funny. They're always making explosives in their shed and bitching about their thesis being due!

^Bonus points if you know the YouTube channel I am referencing.^

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

it's the accent

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know an Australian who runs a YouTube channel called DankPods (you might've heard of it), and he's pretty damn funny.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Also Garbage Time and The Drum Thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget "Hello, I'm Gaming"

He also had a music channel called Dankmus where it's basically just remixes of Simpsons episodes. Not sure why that one is so inactive.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Not sure why that one is so inactive.

All the successful kiwis move to Australia because we pay better but they keep their kiwi identity.

With all this top talent coming over we get to sit back and laugh.
