Don't forget to bring a cork hat.

Warren552011 i can't believe in America, that's actually a name...

I'm coming

well certainly a better reaction than a turk would get at Cronulla beach.

lostalex77 do not

SAFE? R U kidding? Have you heard about some of our dangerous beasts? Half of us wouldn't stay here and put up with it, if we weren't married to em. !!YES HONEY... BE RIGHT THERE!!

​@@skepticusmaximus184beast? Omg a spider isn't going to hurt you

@@skepticusmaximus184calm down 🤦‍♀️

@@donna6592 WTF? Are you an irony impaired idiot, who doesn't understand humour? 🤪

@@shaneekabatty-cross Are you another complete moron who can't read and understand a joke that a 5yr old would comprehend? I didn't say anything about spiders, wasn't serious in any way and made it clear (with tongue fully inserted in cheek) that the dangerous creature was the spouse. Either GTFU OR STFU idiot.

I was hoping he said Mad Max 😂

And Canadians

No excuses Only uneducated people can't tell the difference

@@Snoop_Dugg There’s a way to differentiate Canadian accents to American ones, when Canadians say the word about, it’s sounds like “ a boat”.

@@SR-xk8cd oh sorry, I was too vague. I meant that even Canadians cannot differentiate between a typical Aussie and British Accent.

they dont know the diffrence between crocodile dundee and david attenborough

Bugga Macca's mate. Hungry's is thuh go bro.

leeman401 Really? Give an example then.....

Yes. I know your president is Obama and that you have freedom of speech and right to bare arms on your constitution as amendments. Thats just the obvious though. Without researching, what is our prime ministers name and name some of australias amendments?

Anyone could know that, it's more or less global knowledge the prime minister of Australia, ect, maybe not so much. , not to sound arrogant or anything. Tell me though, how did Wall Street get its' name, or which US amendment ended slavery? What year was the Treaty of New Echota signed and who was Brigham Young?

No my point was as i said in the question is i know MORE about america then most americans do about australia. You say everyone knows that. EXACTLY, think about why everyone would know that. American media is everywhere. Thats why everyone knows this stuff that it has become common knowledge now.

Isn't that what I just said? So it's no great accomplishment, which makes your insult pretty lame.

James Bond Just because it has a kangaroo in it, doesn't mean it is Australian. It was put together by Warner Bros in the US but was based in Australia because it's a stereotype.

I never said that movie was australian

Oh sorry it's just hard to determine what you mean, I thought you were saying it in a negative way, My apologizes.

That's Ok

James Bond haha i think its pretty funny, but yeah speak for us all why don't ya.

Okay I'm Filipino, I'm working on my Aussie accent because I do really love that kind of accent. So can anybody tell me what was the phrase he said, at 0:32? :)

i've never heard of Kangaroo Jack

Jerielle Davin He said "I'm gonna shoot through later this arvo" which means "I'm going to go to your place later this afternoon" I've lived in Australia for 6/7 years now.

Warren552011 ok because I wasn't planning on watching it so...

yenelly tejada gold star for you!

Now see how funny English goes. In Bhartiya English bc is the short form for Bhenchod meaning SISTERFUCKER 😂🤣😂😂

wow, you seem very impressed with yourself... how very American of you.

lostalex77 That's interesting, what makes you say that?

​@@lostalex776 years on and this comment is still making people laugh

But Aussies don,t like British people,thats why I would never visit Australia.Its off my list for places to travel.

Im american and i can? Lol. Kiwis are from NZ and an Aussie is from australia. They hate each other for whatever reason but they're right next to eachother. Yes sir I'm american.

Zoba LikesNutella o.o We don't hate each other. xD

dj break Lol, it really seems like it but okay I guess..

Zoba LikesNutella we only hate each other when it's rugby season ;)

Isabell DeRaps GragonSlayer Lol okay that makes more sense

LostWordsAt2am Us Strayans are very proud of the way we've destroyed the English language!

There is a reason behind it also. So dont turn your nose up on your background and our culture. Remember the convicts hated the English and wanted nothing to do with them, so they didnt want to be associated with English even if most were Irish, lol. Also to stop the English Prison Guards from understanding them what they were saying. Another reason is to stop flies, dust etc going into your mouth when speaking. So hot here and to finish a sentence faster than you can say Cooweee. lol

@@Mav_F Do you have any studies or research to back that up? Also only about 20% of Australians have a convict ancestor so this idea of hating the English is very odd. English is also the largest ethnicity in Australia to this day. We have a sports rivalry and enjoy banter but the UK is probably Australia's closest country after NZ. The Australian accent(s) is commonly understood to have developed from an amalgamation of British accents, for example general and broad Australian have a lot of similarities and are often confused with Cockney and Estuary. Cultivated Australian, and perhaps people mainly from South Australia who pronounce words dance like "dahnce" can be seen to be much closer to modern RP English. Australian's also lack a rhotic r, which is common in America, Ireland and West England. The Australian accent did not develop due to a dislike of the English, otherwise we wouldn't sound so much like them, or the fact most Australians have English ancestry. The rest about prison guards and flies sounds like bollocks to be fair, but you might be joking.

@@bloat1235 The Aussie accent and slang came from the children of the convicts. Because the mixed nationalities etc and slang changed the accent to what the country Australians sound like, the true blue accent. Now our accents, are mixed with other cultures and aren't as strong but still noticeable. The Adelaide people do pronounce the words the proper British way. If you listen to anyone from Melbourne and Sydney they almost sound the same with a slightly different tone. You can hear it if you listen correctly. They say their words the same. There were a few documentaries on this many many years ago. It was the children who started the slang so the soldiers didn't understand what they were saying or referring to. The accent followed as they were from different backgrounds with different accents. Like today with so many different accents in Australia now, our accent is changing, mine has since I started working in the city.

So you did nothing and got a high distinction wonderful!

Because in America sounding "normal" means sounding "white", God forbid. Whites, Asians, Indians, and most Latinos all sound pretty indistinguishable here; but like you said most blacks talk in ebonics or with some sort of twang from it. I don't know where you stand political but I think this is bad for establishing a nation identity, but great if you are a black Marxist. So imagine what even the media wants people to think about ebonics?
