Don't go to the Gold Coast 

They call it Surfer's Paradise because, on the surface, it's paradise.

Last time i was at Surfers, at 4am in the morning, we saw this feral hippy walking slowly up the Esplanade. He was off his chops! And he wanted a ciggie. We go "Are u ok mate? ' He goes, " Yeah, i just got a scented candle up me arse" So we go " Bro, do you need a doctor?" And he goes " Nah, I'm alright but it keeps sliding out" So we gave him 2 cigarettes and kept walking.

The Gold Coast is a sunny place for shady characters 😂

Always someone screaming at 4am outside your hotel

Italian immigrant here that moved to the Coast because played too much Vice City as a kid

GC is probably going to be even more hectic when TransLink starts implementing the 50c fee on August.

I’m not sure what’s more troubling, the fact that this is an accurate portrayal of the GC or that I go to the GC for a work convention every couple of years and have the time of my life… I may be part of the problem 😂

I lived at Southport in the early 1990's. Just 5 minutes from Surfers but a world away. I loved it there. Now 30 years later, how things have changed. Surfers has changed for the worse. Dirty and you are right about the needles. Back then the place was full of Japanese tourists, every business was catering to the Japanese. All gone now.

Forgot to mention the old bloke in a tutu that roams cav av

Been waiting for this one!!! Cheers bro - eagerly awaiting your dressing down of logan haha

As someone who lives on the GC (was even born here) sounds 100% accurate. Which is why I can probably count the amount of times I've been into Surfers Paradise on my fingers, without running out of fingers 😆. And spotting fake boobs (and fake everything else) is a favourite game when going anywhere... except the west side of the M1, low chance of running into them there.

Excessively good description. We spent 2 months housesitting a million dollar property in Jan-Mar 24 here and it was an experience for sure. Everyone seems to care about looks, brands, and $$$. Half naked chiseled people sporting Maui Jims, Nike and Tiffany & Co . More Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari BMW and Mercs than Ive ever seen anywhere. I note you mentioned theme parks with a view of the slingshot which isnt in a theme park 🤣

How the f you don't have a million subs is beyond me.....

6:09 The millennial in me wants to thank you for the early 2000’s RACQ reference. You bloody legend

I loved living there, it has changed now tho 🙁 I used to get stuck behind that stupid aqua duck just about every afternoon driving home from work at SeaWorld 🤣

I know Its a long hike out, but sir, please do Birdsville 🎉 Can't wait to here your take on a massive drive to have a pie and watch some cars drag race In a steaming hot desert

As someone whos lived on the Gold Coast their entire life, this place had slowly been getting worse, and worse.

I must say, both this vid and the Brisbane vid both have incredible B-roll of how beautiful the cities are.

just a bunch of people who get off on saying..."oh i live on the gold coast"

I went to the top of the Q1 not long after it was built. In the lift was a blind woman and her seeing-eye dog. There was another adult with her which helped keep my mirth from bubbling over. All I could visualize was her swinging the dog around by its lead in a 360 above her head!

Mate, you have me in tears of laughter. Ace

So what's the deal with the traffic? Is this overstated or legit?

I remember the old water slides that used to be at Grundys back in the early 80s..... The Gold coast sucks balls now haha

i love how this was posted right before we were about to go on holiday here

lol I stayed in the Pink Poodle Motel back in the late 80's. Such shit memories of my time on the Gold Coast. Thanks for reviving them :)

Couldn't of said it better myself😂🤣, so true...good job mate👍

Pretty much spot on! Several years ago (a few decades TBH) I worked in a mental health clinic at Miami beach. (A converted warehouse one block from the actual beach, with no windows except in the toilets and the psychiatrist's office, so no enjoying that sunshine except on lunch break or a community visit.) And I used to describe the Gold Coast as a "mixture of glitz and sleaze". It's only gotten worse since then... But Coolangatta (southernmost end of the GC) is nice - different atmosphere, family friendly, and super beaches! (Not much nightlife though, if that's your thing... And not a place to get stuck during a pandemic, when the Qld Gov decides to close the border and you realise that the State border actually divides the Cooly-Tweed Heads amalgamated living space in a totally dysfunctional way.) And at the other (northern) end, Southport is also out of the main Gold Coast vibe. (Bit of a pain to get there though - half an hour off the Motorway, and you have to join the queue at Smith Street.)

We need a don't go to Toowoomba next!

Can you do a video on Ipswich ?

Toowoomba next!

I’m a new subscriber, having just been recommended your Caboolture video this evening. I love your videography and how articulate you are. I suspect that you’d have a great time telling everyone not to visit my home, the Southern Moreton Bay Islands. It’s another world here.

I think this may just be your best work yet.

Haha get fucked. I moved from Gotham City to Far North Queensland again and everything you said was spot on! I worked on the M1 Upgrade... What a farkin' joke, then went to the Light Rail Upgrade, even more of a circus. At the time was living in Cavill, in room share aka computer study with no doors for $355 a week... Love ya work mate 💪🏼🇦🇺🤙🏼

Omg do coolangatta tweed next, it’s the caboolture of the south. Loved ya Cabo video tho, I live near there n you got it perfect. I’ll never look at a trolly there the same way again.

Comedy gold. Be cool to see you do a video on Ipswich

Gold Coast canal estates were deemed so environmentally destructive that they have been banned elsewhere in the country.

😂😂😂😂😂just stumbled across your channell. ❤ it. Thanks for a good Aussie laugh. From an old person. 😅😅😅🇦🇺🌏fan.

Love it 🤣. Do Noosa/sunshine coast next

Surely do a video on the Sunshine Coast next.

As a gold coast resident. Thankyou! Subscribed!

Watching this after booking a holiday to the gold coast: 😐

When is your next upload?

Just discovered you, been binging and I love your work mate I think Yeppoon would be a good subject for a video, a town in the shadow of an abandoned resort, with its infrastructure crumbling under the weight of its population, and it would keep people away from Emu Park.

Gonna go to Gold Coast for holiday on Aug, hope it'd be fine lol

Love the gta 6 theme

What about Ipswich???

Getaway would be sooo much better if this guy was the director !! F00kn epic

Such a phoney place and every second building is a run down hotel trying to depict something out of Miami Vice.

The intro alone deserves a like

As a Gold Coast resident this video is painfully accurate

Forgot about the meter maids. You gotta to do one for Mackay

can you make a vid on mount isa plz

If this isn’t the realest shit ever 😂 Moving here and watching this is so real

5:23 best part of the gold coast thus far.

As a former resident of Hervey Bay, please do a video there. Absolutely alot of content there

Nambour?

5:23 Wow, I'm definitely going to the Gold Coast. Again.

Can't wait for Townsville

I am currently travelling to the Gold Coast as I write this comment. Oh shit.

Every 1 bedder apartment in Surfers has more seen cocaine and seamen than the Colombian Navy.

Please do the effing Sunshine Coast next and don’t hold back.

Can you please do don’t go to Nambour next!!!

guy from north brissie over here, this shit couldn't be more accurate

May I please request Inala next

The Gold Coast is so good. You need to go to some other countries to be humbled. Sounding a little like a rich spoiled kid.

Surely Townsville soon mate

Why is this Comedy gold . Because it’s all true .

Awesome 🤩 So true !!

Cannot wait for the Ipswich video

Wonder what you're going to say about Melbourne!

Please do one on the Sunshine Coast?

Perfect, please do Logan next

Just commenting because the algorithm needs to throw you into the fuckin stratosphere!

Your channel is about to pop off. Guaranteed m

This is great. It made my day😂

Mate, you have obviously not been to Bondi in a long bloody time if you think that it has class in any way, shape, or form!!🤨

i definitely feel like gc has gotten a lil better as of recent tho

Currumbin wildlife park also euthanises koalas they deem unviable. I remember a lovely koala called Nevada who was killed for being blind. There were many who would've taken Nevada in but oh no, the right thing to do was for AZWH to send him to currumbin to die. For shame.

Here's a little song to rectify this video's failure to mention the hinterland: Home, home in Nerang Where the shoes from the power lines hang Where seldom is heard A grammatical word And the misfiring engines go bang.

The whole reason I subscribed

You’re hilarious and also a Haiku master

You have to do logan and Ipswich

The dreamworld jokes fffuuuaaarrrkkkkkkkk

Gold once again. Thank you.

Please do BUNDABERG.

Nice timing

Brisbane's i.c.e capitol, dude if you want a real mind boggling head spin "don't ever go to Las Vegas".🙌

So funny and possibly true lol not all glitter and gold hey

Love it

When you do the right place ur views are going to 📈 love the vids please do Byron bay then do Lismore and nimbin

I used to hang my knee's out like that motorcycle riding . . got told off by a METAL instructor . . MC license course Darwin

Bro you should do a video on Townsville

I want to like the video, but it's currently at 666 likes and I don't know how I feel about that. So here you go have some algorithm!

Please for the love of Australia, review Deception Bay, I currently live here and can say it’s a certified shithole. Definitely needs a review from you mate.😂😂

LOL went to Gold Coast on our Honeymoon, i forget it was school holidays, couldn't find accommodation except 2 spots, one luxury villa $260 night n other base price $260 at Dream-world, wife wanted to see Polar bears so it was Dream-world LOL. What i didn't know i got see Polar bears in action before rest of public because i stay at Dream-world. By time Polar bears had finished breakfast they laid up n didn't move when public went to see them, talk about getting rip off not mention trying take photo cu#$ of crowd. After that i try navigate to Brisbane but FN roadworks on M1 i turn back cut across Ipswich went up backroad to Bundaberg which best idea as i stop at small town which had best bakery.

To me the Gold Coast feels as seedy as Pattaya in Thailand

Should do one on rockhampton

i think you were too kind in this review

This is sooo funny 😂 Bahahaha 🎉

don't forget that the correct way to refer to Surfers Paradise like a local is to just call it "Surface"
