American reacts to MEAN COMMENTS from New Zealanders 

Hey lovely friends! Thanks for watching- are there any videos/topics you'd like to see on my channel? I'd love to make them for you- leave me a reply and I'll make it happen=)

Feeling embarassed for awful comments from fellow kiwis. Love your views, your accent and your videos are fun. 💟💕

Hope you laughed as much as I did at these comments. Just shows it takes all sorts. I enjoy your good humoured videos. Keep them up 😀

Good on you for not putting up with the disrespectful ones🤣🤣🤣 New Zealanders can be hateful as any others, and this is showing us there are people who will be defensive and have their blinders on no matter what. They are the ones with the problem! Continue to do YOU

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Your channel is so authentic and you are just so honest and real. Keep going and ignore these idiots. I love your vids!!!

Ignore the haters, don't stoop to their level. Just do what you do best because most of us enjoy it. Haters, just go some place else.

I'm a kiwi, and I love your videos. I really enjoy seeing our country though your eyes. Good on you for not taking any crap

Always enjoy your videos. Those haters need to get a life or find a new hobby. Keep doing what you're doing. Most of us appreciate your humor. 😀

Personally....I do notice a big difference between the kiwi accent and the Aussie accent. They have different slang than we do. And their accent is kinda broader I think.

As a kiwi I am sorry for the rude comments you received there is no need for rudeness it's not our way of thinking. I like to think we are a chilled nation 😉

I love how that guy said how much fatter American are than kiwis even though new Zealand is also one of the most obese countries in the world

im a kiwi and i like ur vids, ur different than most, funny, witty and good on ur guys for moving here. i like to be entertained and i am with ur videos so keep up the good work

As always, a very entertaining video. And as always, dammit - you're right again! When you and the boys moved here, the IQ level increased overnight!!

this little US muffin is absolutely adorable 😂 the sass and wit is refreshing, to you Drax Kiwis stop taking yourselves so seriously, imperfections is what makes us human

11/10 for reaction and taking comments as they are BS...... and funny as F sarcastic reactions in reply. Giggling tummy hurts Thx for makin me smile every release 🏆

Just keep doing what your doing im a kiwi and i enjoy your content keep it up :)

I just want to say as an American that also wants to move to New Zealand that I love your videos. And you're right, even the mean comments from Kiwis are tame compared to the typical comments left by Americans on most videos and social media. Plus, they're correct regarding dd/mm/year, the weight system, and America just being weird in general. Oh, and I learned that the plumbing is different because here the toilets use suction (needing more water and a smaller diameter pipe) whereas the toilets utilize more of a flush (less water, fewer blockages, but more poop streaks).

Totally with you on the store search engine shit! I just type a whole sentence and cross my fingers, lol! 😂 P.S. I think you're so much fun and love watching your videos - big hugs! 🤗❤️

This video was adorable and super funny, I got a lot of smiles and chuckles ftom it, you're a good sport. Glad you're here and having fun 😇

I completely agree with you regarding the search engines. Countdown, for example, is the worst. Drives me crazy. Additionally they spell cos lettuce wrong in the search function (they spell it ‘coz’!), but correctly on the actual page! I have to use the wrong spelling to find it 🤦‍♀️ Sorry for any arseholes in the comments, keep doing you! 👍👍👍 Ps we have a real problem with aggressive males and it shows in many of the comments you received. Please accept my apology for these muppets 🙏

Google the sand shortage, turns out trees grow faster than the planet creates sand suitable for mixing concrete. Although cob houses can have a very long life span if properly maintained, with the benefit of clearing up cow dung lol. 100 % agree with you about our pine forests are an awful abomination.

Indeed there are people that enjoy trolling that don't seem to progress beyond play ground nonsense. Imagine Ms Ardern's feed back. Just keep your sense of humour, you'll be fine.

I work in tourism and a Kiwi .My job involves reviews from people ,during two years of Covid and NZ being isolated and only having Kiwi guests it became apparent that Kiwi's are brutal and a very 'entitled' bunch .I came to think of it as we don't appreciate what we have here .If you look up Tall Poppy syndrome ,(this where any one who stays out is 'attacked' ) this is a problem that New Zealanders have ,we 'cut down anyone ' like it's a national sport . Luckily not every Kiwi is like this ,but there are too many who are .I'm enjoying once again over sea's guests who are nice and appreciate what we have to offer .

Hi Morgan, discovered your wonderful videos last year! In the age of Covid, as an older person (late 50's) when we were stuck at home working, I started watching U-Tube reaction videos a lot after a long day of work in front of the computer as they were uplifting and made things a lot less stressful. It was amazing watching people's reactions to things they had never seen before, like young people reacting to old 'black & white' TV recordings of singers like Tom Jones (I'll Never Fall In Love Again), if you have never seen it, I would strongly recommend it! (no auto-tune 🙂) Anyway, the point of this post is, that there is a reason I'm not on any social media of any kind and it is because the proliferation of people worldwide, (not just in Aotearoa) who will just sit behind a keyboard and type absolute rubbish about someone!! As a country, we are in danger of losing what was once our most proud characteristic, our humility and welcoming nature for people who visited (and maybe later they too would call home). I sincerely hope you are not disheartened by some of these 'muppets' and keep doing what you are doing, your reactions are extremely uplifting after a long day in the office. Nga mihi wahine 🙂

I enjoy your videos. You're doing great. Just keep on doing what you're doing and ignore the sad sacks.

Forget the haters! If you're not getting hate you're not doing things right! You are definitely trying and I'm sure learning from any mistakes, keep up the good job, we Kiwis have bad cases of "tall poppy syndrome" for anyone living in NZ.

Two things that sucks about New Zealand: 1 - When ordering anything with rice, such as pork on rice from a restaurant, they barely give any meat, and they only give a pathetic amount of rice... wtf! Why?! Especially the rice. Rice is stupid cheap so why not just give more than a small punnet?? 2 - Palmerston North. Bonus rant about the rice - New Zealanders can't cook rice to save themselves.

Loved this

Hi, the link in the corner didn't work for me (I also feel I should send you a ❤️ to try and counter the jerk comments you get! ❤

2:51 Yup. You're definitely not a computer person... :) ;) "Those search engines" you complain about? They're all American software. Quite often they *are* a Google or Microsoft product. They problem *you* are having is that the databases *behind* the search engines has been populated by Kiwis using NZ English (or in the case of KMart, Australian English, given that KMart in Australiasia is an Australian owned company). You can hardly complain about the fact that you simply aren't up to speed yet on NZ (or Australian) English. 6:55 Day Month Year. Sorry, the US is the only country on the planet that does it. Get with the programme and adopt day month year. Or even year month day would be an improvement. And while you're at it, USA, It's all well and good adopting the metric system in law passed by Congress in the 1970's (Welcome to the modern world, America!) but to then refuse ever since to *fund* the adoption is just ridiculous. It's the same with your silly and highly inefficient paper sizes. 7:59 Australasia is a geographic region, just like (and very similar too, actually) Oceania. I do worry about your general education at times. It's *very* MId-West in the lack of general knowledge about things outside the US. 9:58 Accents. Nice troll. :) The accents are very different. What you're having trouble with is the tonal qualities, although if you travel more you'll quickly realise the vocab differences - especially the Australian habit of every second word being either "cvnt" or the vowel "o" being tacked onto the end of every noun in sight. But don't feel bad: that's very common for Americans. Yanks just don't do well with accents because they *tend* to grow up hearing fewer variations in accent. Once you figure out Oz from NZ you can start working on hearing the regional NZ accents. One day you may even be able to go to the UK and not freak out over their thousands of regional accents... ;) :)

There are some/plenty of absolute plonkers in NZ sorry to say but all have a very low amount of self worth so they project it onto those they know they will never get to meet, they're coward's ,and don't deserve a video about their reactions ,most likely it's jealousy,,You keep making the video's we'll keep watching,take a deep breath,shake it out, You'll be good,Stay being the nice person you are,We got your back Noho ora,Stay safe,

Haha! Great start to my weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed the vid. Great come back with the NZ accent and everything in between... You should have been a comedian.🤣🤣

To be fair some of those comments were purely disagreements not necessarily nasty. Also, sorry for the rude idiots (they are unfortuntely in every race). Australasia covers a group of countries in the Sth pacific incl Aus NZ and the pacific Islands.

Nah I’ll agree with you on our search engines, they suck 😂

You are so sweet. Sorry for the comments. Have to agree the K mart search engine sucks. Have found it easier to search the item I want in google with the business name than to go to the website. Harvey Norman is the similar but not as bad and yes both Aussie companies.

Something we have in common throughout the world is dickheads on the Internet, pity there wasn't something more positive our species has in common. Keep it up, don't mind the haters.

Aussie accents are very different to Kiwis, but Americans / Europe don’t hear enough of them to distinguish. I’m with you on the baked beans they are disgusting. Wood for houses is better for the environment than using brick and steel, plus wood handles earthquakes better as it flexes with the shaking where bricks and concrete would crack. I enjoy your videos. Always going to be some keyboard warriors that just want to criticise 🙄

Lol it never ceases to amuse me when Americans attempt a kiwi accent they invariably sound like Aussies

There are some real jerks online, that's for sure. Don't let these small-minded Kiwi 'a-holes' ruin your day.

Karen's Kens are like covid...spread world wide and hard to get rid of 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂.

We love having other people from other countries here especially you and your family ,

Take care in judging Kiwis by negative comments on the net, although it is not as bad as the early days there are still plenty of fifth columnists out there.

So true re the search engines on websites! So frustrating...Also def ignore the haters ♥

People are terrible sorry, the population is only 5.1 million!

Yeah language differences asside, many NZ shop web sites are hopeless

Personally I think the best thing to do with nasty comments us either ignore them or laugh

8:57 Those birds screeching outside your window are plovers. They have a curious habit of making nests on the ground (they are primarily coastal and wetland birds) and are obnoxiously territorial. They have a nasty spur on their wings and will totally dive-bomb you to stab you with it, though they mostly don't do this to humans and the spurs aren't venomous despite a popular urban legend that they are. Those loud calls are typically a warning against intruders.

Ignore these idiots, they are weak minded trolls. Your videos are great.

To your friend Oscar it's not called the weight system, it's called the metric system

I totally agree with you about google search engine and our shop websites, farmers is another bad one. I kinda feel famous you mentioning my name on 'you sound more Ausse' section :D And I totally wasn't trying to be rude towards you :P

Hilarious 😁

all I can say is,...... keep practicing that Kiwi accent! 😏 (& I still don't think the date thing is that weird🙄🙂)

You give highlighted the problem with the American controlled social media. With no editorial control we have unfortunately educated many where education was a waste. Is it a good idea to acknowledge the existence of the uncouth, the halfwit, and plain bad mannered. To lump all America s together when there are over 300 million from an incredible diverse CONTINENT does demonstrate certain naievity and lack of worldliness. We have have a good share of idiots to share this great place to live in. The search engines for industries in NZ are worse than cr-p including a certain Aussie mega hardware store! Just for fun look for something on a Home Depot sight in the USA and Amazon is a dream

ha ha ha 10 fingers really i thought it was 8 and 2 thumbs lol accuracy is king

Lmao...I've actually been told that alot of us kiwis are snobbish and rude lol

Hi Morgan. Luv your vids. You’re full of life, have a great sense of humour [humor LOL] and your personality is very grounded. I can tell by your tongue n’ cheek content. that you don’t take those negative ‘karen’ comments to heart. Unfortunately we have a few armchair warriors [ you’ll usually find them glued to talkback radio] around. The same personality types that make up a large portion of the road-ragers on our roads. Keep up the cool videos. ;-)

lolol that's funny. I am a bit disappointed with the Kiwi audience, it's a nice and friendly nation, but I have never received that amount of negative and rude comments. Have made videos for German and Serbian audiences and can't remember rude comments like this. There are some weird, underlying issues.

Australasia is a region, hon ❤️😉 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australasia

Haha your a clever lady and your too pretty for these meanies. Those birds were spur winged plovers. I don't notice an accent. Stay cool chicky you rock

Just to say I thought your observations and comments were positive about us not negative at all. I think those complainers took your comments out of context. You seemed to think our weird things not to be bad but more cutely weird.

Your Great.... Ignore Block All Trolls

Kmart is Australian owned and run...not kiwi

sorry about the Goats i didnt think it was that mean its just life on the farm lol it was to say if you see tethered Goats it could be worse no ?

Don't pay attention to their mean comments, bullies and trolls exist in every country! You are a New Zealander now and I really like your content🙂 This sometimes happens to everyone including myself when I migrated to New Zealand! IMHO calling a person a Kiwi is a bit confusing as well as condescending; because a fruit and a bird is named after the word "Kiwi".

eh we have Tiny fridges ha ha ha ok

I think you are rather cute xx😊

Bloody predictive text - that should have been Yay - Jellytips

That was an enjoyable watch. Cheers

good girl

Hey there. We’re kiwis in Australia and enjoy your content. Just wondering if you are on tiktok?

Obesity rates in NZ are actually not far off the US.

People will always complain, we are no different. You do a good job. Even the Maoris are not from here. No humans are from here, some got here before others.

Some nice heat there.

ha ha ha ha the accent thing you just stepped on a landmine lol

Say laters to the haters I say.

Not all New Zealanders are the same. As most New Zealanders like myself enjoy watching videos like yours, and other channels on RU-vid. I personally think you are smoking hot, and your partner is a lucky man. So keep making videos because I like listening to citizens from other countries compare New Zealands way of living to the country they are from. So ignore those egghead haters, because they don't have to watch your videos and the only reason they clicked on your channel is because of you being attractive. Much love to you and thanks for your honesty. God bless.

Now that, made me giggle. You are an extremely bright and well spoken woman. I'd like to point out a couple of things though. You were talking about tree's and wood and how you're not a fan of using Timber. I'd just like to point out, the dresser behind you in the video. What is that made of, or is it plastic wood which is even worse. Australasia is a combination of Australia, New Zealand and other countries in and around our border. It's similar to North and South America being combined to be called the America's. I quite agree with you regarding the non difference between Aussie and Kiwi accents. We can distinctly tell them apart but it is hell of a problem for foreigners because they are so similar. A bit like us trying to understand the difference between Canada and the States. Sorry mate but Goats, Pigs, Possums Deer and a myriad of other introduced animals, are pests that need to be controlled. As you pointed out, it takes a long time for trees to grow, especially our natives. we don't need them chowing down on our heritage. As far as the weight debate (oh, I'm a poet and I didn't know it) goes, I actually couldn't give a fat rats behind. you carry on with yours and I'll carry on with mine. Basically a non issue. Another odd Americanism, is the expression "I could care less". This has always intrigued me. If you could care less, how much less, could you care. In most other English speaking countries, one would say "I couldn't care less". It's a more definitive description. Last of all (thank god for that she thinks) and this is more to do with your correspondents, but dear god, how I loathe the term "LOL". I don't need someone to tell me to "Laugh Here". Really grinds my gears. Love your work mate. Keep it up. Well that's it. You'll have aged 10 years by the time you finish reading this...that's if you can be bothered.😉

've written a couple of quite sscathing retorts tnh, refering to the vacuous shallow and diirectly incorrect statements you've made. You represent NZ's good and bad factors in a shallow perspective. Millenial factor? Mmmmaybe. Please just research whaat you're talking abut, most especially insofarr as things you're offering up negative criticism about. But hey, you're still welcome, and Kiwis often need a wake-up call as to their attitudes. Kia Kaha

Lovely One, there are ass-hats in every country, and we're by no means immune to the arcane effects of Grand Wizard-level Ass-hattery. The fact that we allow such, is testament that they enjoy the right to be genetic throw-backs, with few consequences of any serious nature..... Stay with the Lovers, and Laterz to the Haterz. Love your take on our little paradise, and you're as welcome here as anyone else :) Please don't dislike us because the shallow end of the Gene Pool suddenly grew a mouyh. It would have been much more appropriate if they had grown a brain first..... even one between the dozen or so would be an improvement :) Be well, enjoy the tranquility you can find here, it's there for the taking :)

She's a rough world out there for sure and as described by NZ author and broadcaster Gordon McLauchlan that even in our: "half gallon, quarter acre paradise", the title of his book looking at us and our not always pleasant characteristics. The same author went on In his second book, "The Passionless People" to expand on his observations made in the first. American author and travel writer James Mitchener wrote in his1948 Pulitzer Prize winning book: Tales of the South Pacific, that was about it's people and the region where we live. Mitchener's observations were, from my memory now, that his Interactions with Maori, were that of as a people were relaxed, spontaneous and welcoming but noted that our country's majority race of Angola/Celtic heritage were often devoid of these character traits. Noting then more typically as being quiet, reserved bordering on sullen. Although viewing ourselves as others see us can sometimes be hurtful and a source of resentment these observations if fairly meant can do us no harm. Yet often viewed as Ill mannered in the same way as if a visitor to your home began to make disparaging comments about your choice of carpet. It's seen as not good form. But life goes on eh little sister? Aroha nui. Kia Ora Mai.

Did you try Farmers website for blankets or blankies? Also, for the uninitiated. A pumpkin spice latte has a similar taste to an Anzac biscuit 🍪 dunked in a hot cup of Bell tea.

I enjoy it! Keep it up! Love it! 79 year old Kiwi!

I mean not all fingers are same right! Sorry you got some mean comments. To answer your building material problem. NewZealand is naughty for its little shakes (earthquake) google Hawkes bay 1931 it’s worth a google. Ever since that the building laws have changed. Since we get a lot of shakes now and then. The government have to approve on the material that your house is built. It’s called material permits. So based on the land and the past history most of the houses are built using wood. So if there is big quake. The damages would be less comparatively to the heavy bricks, or concrete or metal structures. Just my 2 cents. I’m a kiwi born East Indian origin living in Canada so I get it. I understand why certain things makes more sense to you to do it differently but man I can’t wait to come back home. The more options I have more junk I have accumulated here in Canada

So in new Zealand......ur kinda not aloud to mock the natives... especially if u live there....i understand ur Americans and all .....but thats not whangarei

Your points are all true. Websites are crap. Kmart is owned here by Westfarmers. It's a Australian company. Yes tiny washers bug me too as there are some large items, you want to wash. NZ families used to be large. These people moaning are about what you say are just picky jerks. It could be the tall poppy syndrome in action. Can happen in Australia too. Weight used to have imperial here. Wow, they are so snakey! They need a kick up the bum. You take it in good humour. They haven't traveled.

Im a kiw living in Colorado.... married an American for the last 17 years.....we have 5 first generation "Amera-Kiwis"

Yeah nah you have trouble with the search fingy coz it's encouraging you to get active, get off your ass, walk and use your eyeballs. It's also a trap to buy other shit you might suddenly want 😂😂😂 Keep the vidz rolling not everyone hates you

you are dead set right on online shops in NZ, a lot of them are a pain . . . and some of my fellow kiwis don't like nothing negative said about our fair land, and they really should grow the (something) up. I would love to use some swear words, but I keep getting warnings so I wont...anyway will wait now to be attacked 😅 (something) them 😅

I love that you put this video up, as a born and bread kiwi who also happens to be a US citizen it dissapoints me to see these comments you are getting but it also reminds me that we are not immune from our fair share of idiots and "Karens" keep being yourself, you'll be a great Kiwi before you know it, you are doing well so far and I'm sure we will be be more than happy to keep you here. You are a great asset for us and just plain cool. PS watch out for the spiders, snakes, crocks etc etc etc in Ausie..🙃

I get into arguments or discussions with Americans, when they start losing they just straight block you and delete the conversation (on their end) instead of realizing they were wrong, but I will say I've had some very deep and meaningful, intelligent conversations with Americans, it all depends on the topic and the amount of emotion driving their views and opinions, I've also had to just ignore some of the radical ideological sjws that just won't see reason but that's everywhere.

Google might be skewed to American; voice request about Auckland - it always gives me Oakland, USA , curses!!! 😡

Hello from Wyoming. We have been to many countries and I have learned that no matter how nice you are there is always going to be mean people out there. Just discovered your channel. Love your videos. Congratulations on your wedding. Keep smiling.

Omg what a bunch of idiots, good on you for standing up for yourself. There are arseholes in every country. Us kiwis are far from perfect, keep doing what you are doing. Thanks for choosing our beautiful country to live in, it must be hard moving to other side of the world where everything is different.

Their are a few angry Keyboard Warriors out there. The number one reply insult to give back is the two finger salute Winston Churchill did, not the V for Victory, the French V, its a history thing.

I Love your site I'm so sorry for the horrible people. But I love your content and everything thing you bring. All those horrible people just move on. Keep your head up girl I love watching you, you bring a smile to my face

Pumpkin Latte is that like soup lol

💯Oh i love you, you are so funny, ignore them💩people, keep pushing out those vids I enjoy watching them👍🤣🤣

You are trying that's all you need to rap your around some words and contexts. As a Kiwi living Australia, you are doing quiet well - good luck!

Why add the silly comments. Waste of time and borderline narcissistic. just be positive. It is not KIWIS saying this, its idiots.

Now you know what Australia has had to put up with... We have over 1 million kiwi dole bludgers here...
