I would love to see a flipped version of this where Daniel runs it for Americans. We have so much weird history that even as an American I'd never know most of it
@@laylap174yeah he's also a UK creature. we got bundled into the back of an old library van and taught about the human body by a giraffe. what a rich shared culture we have
As an aussie, I died of laughter when i saw Prime Minister Paul Keating as an option for playing Dame Edna. Also, can confirm we all talk like we're desperately short of syllables.
You're lucky you still have slang thrown around. I live across the ditch, and I've lost most of my lexicon because people only speak America over here now 🥲
Lots of RU-vidrs covered Australia unjustly imprisoning entire families and forcing them to get dangerous jabs, beating old ladies down in the street and dragging them off to jail for refusing. Cutting off peoples methods of survival unless they got it etc etc.....you live in a country willing to go full WW2 baddie mode at the slightest provocation and i think it's disgusting. See...some of us haven't forgot you.
@@annabelwestwood6192 You don't know anything about your own country, obviously. Go do some research (off of Google) as to how your government handled the plandemic and inform yourself. Your country was nearly as bad as 1940's Germany.
•BIG fan from Australia 🇦🇺 :) •Pools named after people isnt strange tho for us. Its a warning to scare little kids •You literally cannot have a good picnic without fairybread. It should be in our constitution
I remember talking to a friend of mine over in Brisbane about fairy bread because I just did NOT understand sprinkles on butter on bread. Y’all use different ingredients than we do, so it’s much better than what we could do, but I still don’t FULLY understand why
Probably for the same reason we tried to name one of the ferries in Sydney Harbour BoatyMcBoatFace and there’s a massive petition to rename Australian currency to Dollarydoos.
6:03 You should've included Oak Milk!! for those of you interested, Oak milk flavours include... green apple pie, banana and toffee, PINEAPPLES. Let that sink in. pineapples. peppermint, cherries, red skins, splice, lime, ZOOPER DOOPER FLAVOURS, COCA COLA, And i WISH i was making this up, but we had steak milk too. oh and spider flavoured milk. that as well. also notable is smiths chips, which we've had lamington flavoured chips amongst other things From my fellow Australians we also have: Smiths Vegemite Chips Vegemite Cadbury Chocolate (there’s a glass and a half in everyone,,,) Jaffa flavoured Oak Milk [and for those who are confused about spider flavoured milk… well. look it up!]
I'm from NZ, but I would absolutely jump over the puddle and come see you if you ever toured there. (okay I maaayyy have downplayed the Pacific Ocean a tad there)
Nah mate, not even the whole pacific, it’s just the Tasman Sea. Pretty much a glorified creek crossing at best really. Shoulda built a bridge over it yonks ago
Did you hear about the two fella's who kayaked over from Australia to New Zealand? Sure it's a puddle! A very big, killer puddle! ...Which is basically everything ever in Australia.
As an Australian I can say that naming a pool after someone who drowned is pretty normal. Thanks for all the likes❤ let’s make this more liked than Steven He😂
I had swimming lessons there growing up and have always found it hilarious that it is named after someone who drowned. As soon as they said, Harold Holt, I knew exactly what the question would be and started cracking up.
He went to my high school and our campus has a wing named after him, every time I had classes in that wing my friends and I would crack some joke about it
I'm Australian, and I've never heard the phrase "hammer and tong" used in my life. I guessed when you have to fix the barbie (BBQ) whilst you're cooking food
There's absolutely subsections of Australians that are more... generous with using slang everywhere, ie. the further bush you go the more slang you hear and gets used I feel. I grew up in and live in a rural town, and there's deinately a difference between say my dad having a yarn, and people from the "big smoke" (capital city). There's also the language variations based on state too. > . > [don't mention the potato scallops] uh oh 0.0
@@jaykingplays In Britain we'd say "hammer and tongs", it's definitely never gone away. And we never dropped the barge pole either, I don't know if it's seen a resurgence because of the internet somehow, but it's been a common saying all my life including the pre-widespread-internet years.
@@SarahDawes Do you hear rumbling in the distance? I'm sure it's nothing.. definitely not an angry horde of southerners yelling about cakes 🤷♀ ooh, scallops! yum
Harold Holt didn't go missing, he actually was almost assassinated by the people on Australian currency and faked his death and fled to New York to fight crime. (I realize very few people will understand this reference and think I'm off my nut)
Me who watched the movie he was in the other day on Tubi and thought I was going nuts because he looked like one of the main actors THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING THIS I WAS STRUGGLING MENTALLY XD
Same 😅 Too young for the hello possums (but I did see he died recently or something?) And I had no clue what hammer and tong is, never even heard of it haha
Ayyyy Kath and Kim reference in the Sticky Beak explanation! And in a Q! Congrats on the win, Garbo, and please tell Whitey and Hambo I love them dearly.
I remember vaguely, going into said dark van in prep here in ‘Straya, but I don’t remember a word he said. I turned 13 almost 2 weeks ago and Happy Harold only just came flooding right back to my mind, and suddenly I’m a 4 or 5-year-old sitting in a black van looking the giraffe puppet dead in the eyes.
I had swimming lessons at Harold Holt growing up and have always found it hilarious that it is named after a Prime Minister who drowned. As soon as they said, Harold Holt, I knew exactly what the question would be and started cracking up.
As a proud Australian I can boast a fabulous score of 2/10 because most of those words I've never heard in my life and since when did Bluey overtake the cinematic masterpiece that is Bananas in Pajamas. I mean, have you seen them in live action?? Also, I fully stand by Harold Holts Swimming Pool. It is so iconically inconsiderate and is therefore automatically Australian. ;-;
For those wondering... A goon bag is cheap cask wine. The 'cask' is a cardboard box containing a silver bag / bladder with a plastic nozzle. Also known as a 'goonsack'. It contains 4 liters (about a gallon) of wine in the bag for $12.99 (around $8 USD) so it's the cheapest way to drink for struggling uni students.
I don't usually leave comments, but this was a really thoughtful video. Thank you Daniel! Btw your content is top notch and not a time waste distraction like some of the other trash on RU-vid or especially TikTok. I really like the connection your characters have in your videos and the random let's play. Keep at it and make sure to take care of yourself.
I love that Leigh is dressing exactly how Australians dress when they're trying to look more Australian to other Australians He looks like he's been hired to do a presentation about the acquisition of a local dairy plant or sugar mill by a plastics conglomerate, and show off all the indigenous artwork and bush poetry anthologies the proceeds from the sale are going to buy for the region's schools and council buildings (where they will definitely be kept and treasured, and not thrown out after a year or two, no, certainly not)
I didn't realise that I grew up with so many Australian shows, in Norway! Blinky Bill was one of my fave shows! Same with Banans in Pyjamas! That stuff was like, always on in the weekends!^^ I loved the intro to that. and the tradition continues in that I adore Bluey!
i remember the answer to "Happy Harold" cuz it happened to me. I was shoved into a very dark van with my class and an adult and we learnt about the body and health with a giraffe. The giraffe was behind a wall for immersion but uh, it ruined my childhood when the last time we did it, there was a new person doing it and they just straight up took the puppet out, on their hand, looking obviously like a hand puppet. It was so sad and stuck with me ever since :C Extra: My favourite animal is a giraffe (So it was more painful.) Note: I was very young when this happened.
I am Australian and while I do use 'you're doing my head in' quite often, I would unironically also use 'No deal, Andrew' if not only for it's cultural significance.
AS AN AUSTRALIAN I WILL BE JUDGING YA. aaand now we start. ill give updates 1:01 LIKE ITS ANOTHER LANGUAGE IM CACKLING 1:21 this QUIZ is doing my head in haha 1:50 i'll be the judge of that :) 1:54 wh. what is that. OH. 2:20 ah yes i do know this one! 2:57 YES I ALSO KNOW THIS HAHA HAMMER N TONGIN MATE. please.... w.. work ethic??? WORK ETHIC? 3:44 the legend herself (i have no idea who she is) (actually i know who played her bc i recognise the name) 4:18 oh no. OH NO. okay so we went from [Daniel] Tia and Tamara. [Daniel] Bingo and Bongo (with great enthusiasm) [Daniel] Trish and... Peytas? Trisha and Peyta. [Matt] Dingo and Mingo. [Daniel, pointing like he's discovered a new lifeform] Kit and Kaboodle! 5:00 OHOHOO you called. OH FUCK OH SHIT FUCKING ASGYUDILH JKL:
As an Australian, with the Harold Holt pool, my personal reason for the naming of it is cause it's funny. I have no idea the actual reason for it but I presume others would agree with me
I am NOT HAPPY JAN that Daniel got a correct point for *sprinkles* D: Also, I’ve never heard of “happy” Harold xD I only had healthy Harold (I’m from qld)
This is for Garbo, we Australians love poking fun at people so we named the swimming pool after Hareld mostly for laughs. (If alive he would appreciate the Assie humour)
I remember when my prep class got herded into the Healthy Harold van. I remember only two things about it. They handed out DC ooshies, and I had a nightmare that night where I was slowly disemboweled by an invisible force while Harold watched. Also, I had not realised until now that Harold was an exclusively Australian thing.
I'd love to see one of these for Brazil, because we have so much weird sh*t to talk about and there are sooooo many Brazilians all over the world that I'm 100% certain that most people in the world have met one of us personally (even though you might not have known you were talking to a Brazilian, because we tend to "blend in" very well and when we have an accent it is vaguely "foreign", as in think of that person that you met that you knew they were a foreigner but couldn't quite pinpoint where they were from)
Im Australian, but all my cousins are Canadian. Some came for a visit earlier this year, and didn't know, among other things: -What a passionfruit is - what ginger beer is - that Australia has large bats - and any slang
This reminded me of the strangest thing about visiting healthy harold was how they made all of us kids (maybe 8-10 years old) form into a line and kiss the puppet's head, which i need to remind you is the felt-covered hand of a strange old man.
