We have a knack here in Australia to do stuff that is funny without thinking it is re-enforcing an American invented racist stereotype. Funny that, as we are not American and do not have (THANK F$%K) the same ridiculous predudice.
The English are also brilliant at poking light hearted fun. Stephen Fry, Ricky Gervais, etc. If only the US had a more tolerant and self examining comedic streak. Oh how much better the world would be.
at least the coon cheese guys don't colour it black and smear it on their face and call it "Australia". god damnit, vegemite and kraft! stop embarassing us.
@runingwithdogs the black stereotypes? Anaconda, allapeesha? it's very racist, but he gets away with it because he's black, because y'know, only white people can be racist, right?
@DyerMedia no blacks cant be racist either towards white people, its the same princaple, it doesnt matter wether ur black or white, like if ur black and ur racist to another black person then its ok, but if ur black and racist towards a white person then no its not ok and vice versa
the reason it's called Coon Cheese is the inventor was named Edward Coon. It's not intended to be racist, but I can see how it could be portrayed that way and as an Australian who wouldn't of know the answer we would have got defensive.
@85Aheadstix look im Australian but i have to say..... no most of them arnt but on the movies they show americans to be stuiped thats why there are heeps of jokes about them being stuiped but realy there are probs the same amount of stuiped people ova here in Australia
@runingwithdogs Hmmm yeah i dunno, ive heard stuff, like most americans cannot even find their own countrys on maps and shit, i mean thats just sad, and i know their education system is shit, well same with most of their system aswell, health and political, we have the best Health and welfare system on the planet.
@85Aheadstix yes we do but their educations isnt much different to ours the only difference is that they only learn about their own country like they still learn maths and that but the only country they learn about is their own. so when people say they cant find their own country on maps is complete bullshit.
@AustraliaYouBeauty Not stupid an observation, seriously they didn't even know where Australia was when I said where I was from. I make it a point now when I meet a yank here to ask them where they are from. When they say USA, I reply- "Is that near Canada?"
@asdfghjklkjhgfdsa555 My apologies. I thought you were an American having a shot at us. I do get defensive about this great country of ours when the ignorant shoot their mouths off. Particularly the ones that have never been here yet believe they know what they're talking about. And there is an abundance of these fools.
Hey, at least us Aussie's have a sense of humour and can handle comedians shit talking us a bit, we are willing to have a laugh at ourselves which is fucking brilliant.
@Craig07L - Maybe, but to me theres nothing worse than being ambiguous about the truth especially when you're trying to simper up to an American audience. I find him insulting in this example because the cheese he refers to is named after the founding manufacturer in the 1930's. He knows this but he's trying to use mindless PC correctness to ingratiate himself with the Americans while slandering us.
@yortko1 Not that this directly alters your point, but this is "Live at the Apollo", as in the Apollo, London.
I imagine there's a general jealousy shared by most Brits that Aussie society hasn't yet been driven by the "mindless PC correctness" you mention, to the point where it begins to take itself far too seriously.
The laughter Stephen gets I feel arrises from this.
This arsehole ingratiates himself on Australia then plays the 'see no evil, hear no evil' game about us in other country's. He likes to play on the novelty that he's black but British and that political correctness will sheild him from rational accountability.
as an australian i can honestly say that his aussie accent imitation was funny.. shit.. but funny. so to all the othe aussies getting offended; dont be. because we can always turn around and say that new zealand accents are worse.
omg all u cunts complaining bout this video, oh hes racist or we australians dont speak like that, ffs shut the fuk up and enjoy the funny side of it and stop looking into it, its fuckind comedy u retards
@Syrick I was the same. I saw the routine a few times and had no clue what the basis was until google informed me. I'm not sure whether to be ashamed or proud of myself for this piece of ignorance.
For me, as an American...yes, it's jarring (for me) see black people speak with an English accent, or in different European languages. Here, differences are based pretty much on race--religion, class, and nationalities aren't stressed nearly as much as in other countries (though they have more influence in American life than many of us may acknowledge). This means while differences exist within the races, they're downplayed because of differences between the races are stressed even more.
@lostalex77 as an Australian I can tell you that very few of us speak like that indeed where I live we speak with a regional accent that makes us sound pseudo-South African
I'm really glad that someone has actually pointed out in the comments (below) that the cheese is in fact named after a real person whose surname was Coon. I wonder if Stephen knows that now. The routine looks a bit silly when one knows that the name of the cheese is from the name of a real person and is not race related at all.
@vcat10 I don't think that he actually thought we were that racist though. It's all for the sake of comedy. I hope now other people realise we aren't actually a whole country of racists! And coon is still a racist term so I think it is still funny!
Trust me people, American black women are named that and they talk like that and they react like that . I've lived in the US long enough to know. It's cute once you get to know them ... sometimes
@ceara619rocks@hop208 I use a lot of phrases in MY everyday speech that aren't typically Aussie (Mainly because Aussie slang is about as charming as a piece of asparagus). The fact that an argument arose, means somebody's got a stick up their bum-bum. Let the man say "Hooey" to his heart's content! I don't care, and neither should anybody else!
@ceara619rocks@hop208 I feel in situations such as these, an outside opinion is required. I'm Greek-Italian, living in Australia, yet for some odd reason, I'm always mistaken for being, of all things, a Canadian. My point is, North America and Australia are two of the most multicultural areas of the world. I've seen Indian dudes say *Wazuuuup?*, I've seen Scottish dudes say "G'day". Who gives a toss if a black dude from England says "Hooey", when impersonating a black chick in America?
I knew he was making it up when he said a black person in Harlem said "HOOEY!" Black people, especially in the North and probably not even in the South would ever us "hooey".
@ceara619rocks The term "Hooey" is a redneck term in the US. People in urban areas don't use that term. At this point, who hasn't said "OH SNAP!". I don't know if your familiar with Ben on YouTube (shlippy84), but he has said it several times and he's from Ireland so I know people from Ireland have said it before.
@hop208 I'm not aware of him or in anyway care about him. What I was saying is that you can not claim that someone didn't say something based on where they are from or the location they are in. HOOEY, is if anything just a noise. That is not exclusive to American hillbillys. I used the Irish as an example to relate to your styerotypical view on slang use.
@ceara619rocks Wow... confrontational much, and they call Americans aggressive. I was simply point out that what he was saying is highly unlikely. Please don't attempt to educate me about Americans. I live in a big American city and I'm sure I know more about Americans than you. Unless your getting punched in the stomach, you are not going to use that term or "noise" if you live in the Northeast.
I do believe that you cannot say for an entire location does not use a word. I agree with hop208. I have heard many people break certain stereotypes and to say that them saying 'hooey" is impossible is like saying old people don't say 'lol'. Stereotypes are the normal for a certain type of people. People do NOT always stick to this normal. hence: abnormal behavior.
I'm typing. I'm not being agressive. I'm dissagreeing with you. It doesn't matter that you are from America. It wouldn't even matter if you were the person he's talking about in the video. You can't assume everyone will stick to the role their assigned to. I am attempting to educate you, one less styerotypical mind set in this world the better.
@ceara619rocks Look, I really couldn't care less. The only reason I brought it up in the first place is because comedians often make up their material and if your going to make fun of us at least try to be accurate. "Hooey" is generally a term that rednecks use here. As I said before, it is highly unlikely that a urban black person from the Northeast or and urban Northeasterner regardless or race would use the word "hooey".
I know there is no point explaining this again. But I'm not trying to attack you. I'm not talking about Americans either. I'm talking about you. I corrected you. Not AMERICA. Geez... talk about defensive.
Anyone can HOOEY. 'HOOEY ARE YOU FROM FRANCE' sounds like something they would say. He's a comedian, talking to a British audience. WHAT EXPRESSIONS HE USES DOESNT MATTER. You didn't need to be corrected and told you were wrong, but neither did the comedian.
@ceara619rocks You obviously don't understand what I am saying. I am defending them because here in the US his statement would imply that he thinks they are unintelligent. Of course I'm defensive. I don't need someone from another country trying to school me on the standards of political correctness in my own country.
@hop208 Are you for real? He was using sarcasm and irony. Only an idiot would believe that all American/Black African American would use these terms all the friggin time. He used irony and stereotypes for the purposes of being comedic. Get a grip. The only person I think who is unintelligent here is you.
@xmintyx13 I had completely forgotten about this argument and through private messages had already settled it. I know what irony is, but it is so inaccurate that it would be completely unbelievable to an American audience, but thanks for trying to school me on my own country as well. As for my intelligence; at least I'm intelligent enough to actually read 2 month old arguments before adding my 2 cents and looking like a complete jackass. I won't be responding to any more of your comments.
@hop208 Well the irony wasn't aimed at an American audience, was it? Bloody hell, do you think the world revolves around your country? Dickhead.
And so what if the argument was from 2 months ago? I watched the video recently, and your comment pissed me off. People like you take life far.too.seriously.
Trust me, I won't lose any sleep just because you won't reply ():)
@ceara619rocks You basically accused me of racism for stating a fact. Is it impossible? No. Is it highly unlikely? YES! I think I'm well within my rights to critisize his generalization considering whenever an American generalizes a country it seems like the whole online community of that country responds and has no problem verbally eviserating the US.
You perhaps think was referring to the Barbary pirates?
I was actually referring to the Harvesting of the steppes, in which an estimated 2.5 million Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, and Hungarians were enslaved by the Ottoman empire.
@Keunt Interesting. I always thought that Coon was the name of the town it first came from, like Bega. I also thought that coon was a derogatory term for Aborigines thanks to my arsehole racist former stepdad.
Not all non-racist people know all of the crazy terms. I had heard it long ago, but you shouldn't be attacking or criticizing someone because they've never known such a thing. Not everyone would know.
@GLeNss Well, he IS black, after all, and even though American's invented the stupid organisation, it doesn't mean that it stayed there. (Unfortunately.)
hahaha oh my god....you could NOT get away with having coon cheese in the states, at least not with that name. you would have to rename it here in the land of political correctness.
They tried to get the name changed in Oz but failed as the brand Coon was actually named after American cheese maker Edward Coon and not intended as a racial slur.
We also have a matches brand called redheads lol.
Yeah, well its quite obvious that Redheads matches was intentional but i think its an awesome name. My mum is a redhead and she sees no problem with it :P
Now looking at it we have a lot of products with funny names if u know both meanings
Gaytimes - a awesome icecream
Fags - lollies (candy) in the shape of cigarettes - this had to be changed to fads
Gaypak - mandarins, i'm pretty sure i saw these in America too while i was visiting
We even had matches called Dickheads but they got band :(
I think it has something to do with an old navy term for when the end of a piece of rope got rotten and dog eared. They called it the fag end. This was then used as a slang name for the butt of the cigarette because it resembled the end of rope. Fag end is now shortened to just fag and is used for the whole cigarette not just butt.
Yeah they came from Britain the lollies. People still refer to cigarettes as fags every now and then. Not sure if they still refer to them in Britain like that?
Pom/Pommy is what we refer to as British people. Some like it, some probably don't. My mate from Britain we cleverly call Pom. We are fucking lazy when it comes to our English and will shorten any word we can so its easier to say lol. I do it all the time :P
Well i've never tried rotten skunk ass so i can't make a comparison lol.
Vegemite is actually a herbal cream we use to rub on our battle wounds after wrestling with crocodiles. Na kidding! Vegemite is just a very very salty spread that u usually have on toast to wake you up of a morning or u have for lunch with cheese, you wouldn't eat it from the jar, although i have a mate that does :P
we usually call it by its derogatory name Vaginamite lol
@irishgodfatherchris There etymology of the term 'pom' is two fold. It is possibly a corruption of the anacronym PoHM (Prisoner of Her Majesty) but the most likely foundation is ryhming slang as an immigrant was called a 'pomigranite' in days gone by and 'pom' is short for that. it has nothing to do with pompous.
I love eating coon.... cheese.

For me, as an American...yes, it's jarring (for me) see black people speak with an English accent, or in different European languages.

This means while differences exist within the races, they're downplayed because of differences between the races are stressed even more.

My point is, North America and Australia are two of the most multicultural areas of the world. I've seen Indian dudes say *Wazuuuup?*, I've seen Scottish dudes say "G'day". Who gives a toss if a black dude from England says "Hooey", when impersonating a black chick in America?

I knew he was making it up when he said a black person in Harlem said "HOOEY!" Black people, especially in the North and probably not even in the South would ever us "hooey".

Nice that you can make that assumption for an entire race. I'm from ireland. I've heard a grown drunk Irish man say "OH SNAP"
ceara619rocks 1 year ago
@ceara619rocks The term "Hooey" is a redneck term in the US. People in urban areas don't use that term. At this point, who hasn't said "OH SNAP!". I don't know if your familiar with Ben on YouTube (shlippy84), but he has said it several times and he's from Ireland so I know people from Ireland have said it before.
hop208 1 year ago
@hop208 I'm not aware of him or in anyway care about him. What I was saying is that you can not claim that someone didn't say something based on where they are from or the location they are in. HOOEY, is if anything just a noise. That is not exclusive to American hillbillys. I used the Irish as an example to relate to your styerotypical view on slang use.
ceara619rocks 1 year ago
@ceara619rocks Wow... confrontational much, and they call Americans aggressive. I was simply point out that what he was saying is highly unlikely. Please don't attempt to educate me about Americans. I live in a big American city and I'm sure I know more about Americans than you. Unless your getting punched in the stomach, you are not going to use that term or "noise" if you live in the Northeast.
hop208 1 year ago
I do believe that you cannot say for an entire location does not use a word. I agree with hop208. I have heard many people break certain stereotypes and to say that them saying 'hooey" is impossible is like saying old people don't say 'lol'. Stereotypes are the normal for a certain type of people. People do NOT always stick to this normal. hence: abnormal behavior.

@SeventySevenx It was me that said you cannot say for an entire location. Hop208 said only rednecks say hooey.
Thanks but all you've done is cause an echo.

@hop208
I'm typing. I'm not being agressive. I'm dissagreeing with you. It doesn't matter that you are from America. It wouldn't even matter if you were the person he's talking about in the video. You can't assume everyone will stick to the role their assigned to. I am attempting to educate you, one less styerotypical mind set in this world the better.
ceara619rocks 1 year ago
@ceara619rocks Look, I really couldn't care less. The only reason I brought it up in the first place is because comedians often make up their material and if your going to make fun of us at least try to be accurate. "Hooey" is generally a term that rednecks use here. As I said before, it is highly unlikely that a urban black person from the Northeast or and urban Northeasterner regardless or race would use the word "hooey".
hop208 1 year ago
I know there is no point explaining this again. But I'm not trying to attack you. I'm not talking about Americans either. I'm talking about you. I corrected you. Not AMERICA. Geez... talk about defensive.
Anyone can HOOEY. 'HOOEY ARE YOU FROM FRANCE' sounds like something they would say. He's a comedian, talking to a British audience. WHAT EXPRESSIONS HE USES DOESNT MATTER. You didn't need to be corrected and told you were wrong, but neither did the comedian.
ceara619rocks 1 year ago
@ceara619rocks You obviously don't understand what I am saying. I am defending them because here in the US his statement would imply that he thinks they are unintelligent. Of course I'm defensive. I don't need someone from another country trying to school me on the standards of political correctness in my own country.
hop208 1 year ago
@hop208 Are you for real? He was using sarcasm and irony. Only an idiot would believe that all American/Black African American would use these terms all the friggin time. He used irony and stereotypes for the purposes of being comedic. Get a grip. The only person I think who is unintelligent here is you.
xmintyx13 1 year ago
@xmintyx13 I had completely forgotten about this argument and through private messages had already settled it. I know what irony is, but it is so inaccurate that it would be completely unbelievable to an American audience, but thanks for trying to school me on my own country as well. As for my intelligence; at least I'm intelligent enough to actually read 2 month old arguments before adding my 2 cents and looking like a complete jackass. I won't be responding to any more of your comments.
hop208 1 year ago
@hop208 Well the irony wasn't aimed at an American audience, was it? Bloody hell, do you think the world revolves around your country? Dickhead.
And so what if the argument was from 2 months ago? I watched the video recently, and your comment pissed me off. People like you take life far.too.seriously.
Trust me, I won't lose any sleep just because you won't reply ():)
xmintyx13 1 year ago 7
@ceara619rocks You basically accused me of racism for stating a fact. Is it impossible? No. Is it highly unlikely? YES! I think I'm well within my rights to critisize his generalization considering whenever an American generalizes a country it seems like the whole online community of that country responds and has no problem verbally eviserating the US.

They tried to get the name changed in Oz but failed as the brand Coon was actually named after American cheese maker Edward Coon and not intended as a racial slur.
We also have a matches brand called redheads lol.

well that's irony for ya, huh mate?
benji5501 2 years ago
Yeah, well its quite obvious that Redheads matches was intentional but i think its an awesome name. My mum is a redhead and she sees no problem with it :P
Now looking at it we have a lot of products with funny names if u know both meanings
Gaytimes - a awesome icecream
Fags - lollies (candy) in the shape of cigarettes - this had to be changed to fads
Gaypak - mandarins, i'm pretty sure i saw these in America too while i was visiting
We even had matches called Dickheads but they got band :(

Krenaasion 2 years ago
I think it has something to do with an old navy term for when the end of a piece of rope got rotten and dog eared. They called it the fag end. This was then used as a slang name for the butt of the cigarette because it resembled the end of rope. Fag end is now shortened to just fag and is used for the whole cigarette not just butt.

Yeah they came from Britain the lollies. People still refer to cigarettes as fags every now and then. Not sure if they still refer to them in Britain like that?
Pom/Pommy is what we refer to as British people. Some like it, some probably don't. My mate from Britain we cleverly call Pom. We are fucking lazy when it comes to our English and will shorten any word we can so its easier to say lol. I do it all the time :P

Well i've never tried rotten skunk ass so i can't make a comparison lol.
Vegemite is actually a herbal cream we use to rub on our battle wounds after wrestling with crocodiles. Na kidding! Vegemite is just a very very salty spread that u usually have on toast to wake you up of a morning or u have for lunch with cheese, you wouldn't eat it from the jar, although i have a mate that does :P
we usually call it by its derogatory name Vaginamite lol

pom is a semi-derogatory name and comes from the word pompous
irishgodfatherchris 1 year ago
@irishgodfatherchris There etymology of the term 'pom' is two fold. It is possibly a corruption of the anacronym PoHM (Prisoner of Her Majesty) but the most likely foundation is ryhming slang as an immigrant was called a 'pomigranite' in days gone by and 'pom' is short for that. it has nothing to do with pompous.
