Flight of the Conchords - Australians

[squalloogal]

I'm an Aussie and LOVE this. We know the Kiwis call us the West Island. More New Zealanders in Oz than NZ. "You can uncover your eyes. They're not Australians they're New Zealanders" - Brilliant!

[MRcool14153]

That bloody basted

[HereticsGen]

Ya bloody fruit shop owners!

[TehHappyCamper]

And this is why Sniper hates fruit shop owners.

[cellothecat123]

[PlanetaryMATE]

Australia and New Zealand have the best sense of humour in the world!

Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii. So she was born american, so was Mel Gibson

[GrinterLovesVegimite]

@thepepsiman18 With her situation she was born with the opportunity to claim both American and Australian citizenship

[Dackstrus]

"This is going to go be a real piece of piss, you bloody fruit shop owners!"

[bellanastasia1997]

I am Australian but god these boys are funny. I think our accent is a lot more 'bogan' than the kiwis;) still proud of my background though. :)

[frozenflamegaby]

ROFL

[TheFlyingracoon22]

@TheFlyingracoon22 same lol, still find this funny though

[Tbagurdrumset94]

australians are like "where's the car?"

[TheIncomparableMWIA]

11 people aren't people.

[negooog]

I'm Aussie and a descendent of some pretty hardcore criminals. In the next life they came back as Indians for punishment.

[LibertarianChristian]

Thumbs up if your Australian pastor sent you here... only me?

[fkngtwat]

lol

[SoGladToKnowYou]

no one takes the piss out of us better than kiwis.

[HxCSounds]

i can understand an american or english getting confused cos they are a bit similar but if you live in either new zealand or australia you would instantly tell the difference.

[rabbit605]

@HxCSounds - That's funny because as an american I think our accents our night and day different than brits and don't know how they could be confused. (Maybe with some Canadians though I guess.) But seems to me the whole point of this clip is that they're jokingly making fun of the fact that Kiwis and Aussies actually do sound similar. "Where's the car" sounds exactly the same to me anyway. I do know that I've probably inadvertently pissed off a kiwi or two by asking if they were Australian.

[aerdna14]

@rabbit605 Unless you have been around Kiwis and Australians for a significant amount of time, you probably won't be able to tell the difference between their accents. Most people can't, I don't think. The difference, in case you're wondering, is mostly in the way the say their vowels, particularly E. And I find that the NZ accent is "sharper" than the Aussie one. If you know what I mean, it's hard to explain. I'm sure that most Kiwis are used to be asked if their accents are Aussie haha.

[wopdjawd]

@HxCSounds

>American

>English

>similar

[unsupervisedyouth]

oh aziz you make everytn hilarious

On the rugby field i hate them but every other day i'd have to say i love our friends from across the ditch

[BobMosez]

quick quiz question: only team to have beaten the All Blacks in 2010? Go Australia!

[kimerofbr]

@BobMosez quick answer : Who cares?

[Marshmellowed]

New Zealand/Australia, America/Canada, England/Wales, Scotland/Ireland...

We all have neighbours we love to hate :)

[murf69]

@Marshmellowed Lol the England/Wales one to a slightly lesser extent :P

[Chamiliona21]

Theyd be like, "Where's the car?" n wea lyke "Where's the car?" hahah.

[misswiseone]

I'm Australian, and I love New Zealanders! And I love Flight of the Conchords! <3

[Ktechno]

HAHAHAHAHA laughed my ass off in the end :D Is it like this in real life, i mean, don't you like eachother so much? I'm from Sweden btw

[gaugeinvariant]

As an impartial American, I have to come down on the side of the New Zealanders. After all, they produced this brilliant duo! The Australians haven't come up with anything good since Crocodile Dundee, and even that wasn't very funny.

[Mindanda]

@gaugeinvariant

Given the fact that you just referenced 'Crocodile Dundee' as our only noteworthy production of entertainment, and compared it with Flight of the Conchords.. I'm going to just go ahead and assume that you're a VERY impartial American because Australia and New Zealand have produced many other fine acts of entertainment since Paul Hogan and before FOTC. Dame Edna has achieved large commercial success, as has Russell Crowe.

[gaugeinvariant]

@Mindanda

Nah, I'm just throwing some fuel on the fire to keep things going. That "go fuck a dingo" comment a few posts down made me laugh till my sides hurt.

[NotTooWellKnown]

@gaugeinvariant

I hate them for producing nicole kidman and hugh jackman

[Jay4P]

australia and new zealand have a better political relationship than any other two countries in the world.

[magsantug]

@Jay4P what about Canada and the US... lol

[gnarkillkicksass]

@magsantug We can live and work in each others countries without a visa.

[SASirPropane]

@xaimzz HAHAHAHA FAGGOT

[rabbitoh14]

I fucking hate kiwis, dole bludging, inbred, sheep fiddling, fush & chup eating, yokel, limp wristed, knock kneed, dead stupid cunts

Leave Australia now, you're not wanted, you free loading fucks

[theglowormsgee]

haha. we may seem to hate each other but we don't. we love each other deep deep down:)

[ZenithConvex]

I can tell you this Australia loves New Zealand a hell of a lot better then England

[MissBelle123]

"That person over there is a person." =D Brilliant

[TpcElSammo]

hahaaha gold

[coolios0029]

@FelixEatsBrains o yeah!

[shmokey45]

Lol

[shunt007]

New Zealanders don't have accents, it's the rest of the world that speaks retarded

[thunderthumbs83]

@shunt007 that's what i've been told since i was a school kid in NZ, now, living in australia with a sth african partner.... i guess it's true lol

[raggiedoll2008]

they're like "where's the car" and we're like "where's the car"

[ineverplay]

"hori" is the native language of new zealand not MAORI

[coolios0029]

[rewberg]

As an Australian I find this video very f*&kin funny. Bring on the joking banter between Oz and NZ

[cwskin69]

Lmao! Neela u can uncover ur eyes they're not Australian, they're new zelanders

[vinamodel]

I don't think the majority of you actually understand the humour of this! That makes it even funnier!!!!

[tashcoverley]

HAHAHAHHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA­H im aussie HAHAHAHAHAHH FUCKEN FUNNY

[MsGillyy]

This is obviously not Australian however Iv realised people in other countrys cant tell the difference between and kiwi accent and a aussie acent! LOL Anyways.. I love this show! all there songs are sooo good! Love it

[Extnoob]

@MsGillyy Yeah I know, Australians are like "where's the caaar?" and New Zealanders are like "where's the caaar?" It's so different you'd have to be retarded to get them confused.

[MsGillyy]

@Extnoob I shouldnt have said 'obviously' but im not saying your retarded if you cant tell between the two accents!

[Gopherbassist]

@MsGillyy

Most people can't tell the difference between American and Canadian accents either, Americans and Canadians included.

[Clownpwnage17]

lol i love you NZders

[trulybazlol]

were like wheres the car? and theyre like wheres the car?

lol that has to be the funniest part in the clip

[jazzifire]

wheres the car?

[Every1Tubes]

Whi's the cah?

[MrTairosan]

least aussie women dont look like men

[TasteLikeCactus]

HAHAHAHAHA i'm aussie but i love making fun of stereotypes so i can't even be pissed about this

[aunshiwho]

It is a fact that Australia loves New Zealand more than Tasmania.

Sheep shaggers over Inbreds any day

[THEfreshIMBER]

fuck you cunt

[aunshiwho]

AHAHAHHAA

[gathyman]

haha kiwi's are alright by me. we're just better.

[blUdz18]

Haha its just a silly sibling rivalry thing we've had for years between us Kiwis and Aussies. Australia is like our older and uglier brother, thats how I would put it :)

[gnarkillkicksass]

Or NZ is the younger semi-retarded brother :P, just kidding mate.

[Peterpansmyman]

@blUdz18  And New Zealand is like our younger and retarded sister :D

[Nickmard]

@Peterpansmyman Australia is like our down syndrome retarded big brother

[Peterpansmyman]

@Nickmard Dude I was already replying to someone who had insulted Australia

[xaimzz]

I don't understand the hate in some of these comments. Australians and Kiwis constantly bicker, but in the end the fact is that our countries are so similiar. It's sort of like those fights you had with your siblings. You argue constantly, but you love them. No other country understands Australia like New Zealand & vice versa. If New Zealand were faced with war, I'm sure Australia would come to their defence quickly. It's just a bit of light-hearted banter. As an Australian, I love New Zealand.

[classickukie]

Youre so right. Im a NZer. I see our countries as two siblings that love to tease each other lol. We did have the ANZACS :)

[Nickmard]

@xaimzz Long live the ANZAC spirit, well said

[Gopherbassist]

@xaimzz

"If New Zealand were faced with war, I'm sure Australia would come to their defence quickly."

That's probably because NZ military is one of the worst in the world, and the Aussies would feel obligated.

[xaimzz]

@Gopherbassist

Yeah, probably, but the point still stands. Also, I can never see a time when NZ is faced with a war when Australia isn't at the same time.

[rabbitoh14]

@Gopherbassist i'd help the invaders, they can have NZ, if they are that fucking stupid

[mav3r1ck69]

@xaimzz

you nailed it and I am sure that we Kiwis would go to the aid of Aussie should they be attacked, well as long as there wasnt a Rugby or Cricket Test match on at the time.

[xaimzz]

@mav3r1ck69

So true! Haha! The only time I hate Kiwis is when we Aussies are versing them in any type of sport. :D

[mav3r1ck69]

@xaimzz

roll on the tri nations mate....lol

[aznpupchow]

@xaimzz The "hate" going on between the two countries isn't real, it's very lighthearted. Remember ANZAC? As a New Zealander, I love Australia. :)

[xaimzz]

@aznpupchow I always thought it was lighthearted too, but some of these people who have commented are a disgrace to our two countries. ):

[The12Child]

@xaimzz Dude you don't know how to joke.

[xaimzz]

@The12Child How so?

[The12Child]

@xaimzz If you have too ask....

[xaimzz]

@The12Child Yes, I'm asking because I don't understand how I can't joke. I can, but I do however, know when a joke has been taken too far. Joking about the Kiwi accent is completely different to calling them all retarded. The actual video clip is hilarious, so how can I not joke?

[The12Child]

@xaimzz Yeah right, tell me a joke men. No Google.

[xaimzz]

@The12Child I'm not a comedian. I don't come up with jokes on the spot. That doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humour. What does this have to do with my comment and the actual clip from the amazing FOTC by the way? I haven't done anything to you, so don't start on me. I've just expressed disappointment at some of the comments left on this video. Also, I know I sound anal about this, but can you please spell your words correctly. Your comment doesn't make much sense with "men" at the end.

[The12Child]

@xaimzz It's like talkin to a bloody kanguroo, stopp talkin men, don't comment me no more.

[xaimzz]

@The12Child Oh, I give up on you. It says on your profile that you're fifteen, I'm sixteen and obviously have a higher level of intelligence than you. Please, go back to school and educate yourself further in the English language. I ask again, what does this have to do with the video? You're not even from Australia or New Zealand, so what do you know about our relationship?

[The12Child]

@xaimzz Oh shit, I don't care if they drop bomb on AUS or you guy drop bomb on them. Shut the hell up men, and I did I say don't comment me no more? Don't know why they give you 26 thumb up for.

[xaimzz]

@The12Child You wouldn't care if someone dropped a bomb? Seriously? :/ You are messed up. People gave me 26 thumbs up because my comment shows some intelligence unlike yours. People agree that death threats and calling each other stupid isn't the way to go. I'm encouraging respect for other countries.

[The12Child]

@xaimzz sure, what ever to make you shut up.

[crisb8713]

@xaimzz what is the austri new zealand arguement?

[xaimzz]

@crisb8713 It's not an argument as such. Just some banter between countries.

[rabbitoh14]

@xaimzz i fucking hate the cunts, fucking sheep mollesting, yokel, fush & chup eating backwards fuckers they are, i hope NZ sinks

[xaimzz]

@rabbitoh14 And this is why I am continually embarrassed about being an Australian. Thank you for destroying our reputation.

[rabbitoh14]

@xaimzz fuck off, they are nothing but bludging cunts, we should expel all of them from Australia, make way for legitimate refugees

[xaimzz]

@rabbitoh14 Australia's a big country, there's room for Kiwis and refugees. However, you have just made a large generalisation. Plenty of Australians are as you say, "bludging cunts". Does that mean that we kick them out too? You get your bad people in every nationality.

[rabbitoh14]

@xaimzz there is no room for kiwis, they are a constant blight on the landscape, they lower our collective IQ, get rid of them, they are freeloaders, they never fucking shut up telling you how good NZ is, how much better it is etc, well if its so good, fuck off home & stay there you dumb fucks, we dont need any more bouncers or builders labourers

[zinlinzin123]

@rabbitoh14 go fuck a dingo the all blacks have beat u guys 10 consecutive tests

[magsantug]

@zinlinzin123 As an American rugby player.. I must say I come in on the All blacks side on this one.. wallabies haven't exactly been doing great this last season... but better than the boks I suppose... (counting only tri-nations not the euro-tour)

[unsupervisedyouth]

@magsantug yeah go those blacks

[mattblack77nz]

@xaimzz no we are hates thems they are a big suxx!

[159candy159]

haha i'm aussie this is hlarious..

[YasminRoxMySox]

OMG! I am a kiwi! I completely agree with this American dude!

P.S: For the record our accents are like completely different (to me HAHA :D)

[Peterpansmyman]

Hahaha I'm Australian, and I love this :D

[blUdz18]

Kiwi accent was voted the best English outside of the UK according to a BBC survey :)

Fush and Chups anyone?

[Scrige]

haha the best "worst" accents...

[i0hate0this0place]

Australians drag their vowels like milk for example.

Kiwi would be: Mulk

Aussie:Meelk

Its pretty similar apart from the vowels from what I can hear. Also Kiwis tend to say "eh" alot in their sentences and Australians would say "mate" more often.

Also, O's are sometimes pronounced as Ah's, E's-Ah's for Australians. Thats all I can say from my observations.

[Scrige]

Well your observations are wrong.

Australians tend to drop vowels such as MELBN [MELBOURNE] and BRISBN [BRISBANE].

And milk would be said MILk [resonably quickly].

For NZ, it would be Mulk, as they tind to pronounce thengs like thus.

[mav3r1ck69]

@Scrige

lmao...love the comment.

[HellCatFury12]

@Scrige Hahaha ><

Yeah that true.

We Aussies ALWAYS drop vowels :P

[HughbertSKATES]

I'm Aussie. And i don't know about anyone else but I definitely don't say "meelk". That's how an Indian at a convenience store in Australia would say milk.

[VikipediaxD]

Is there actually a difference between the Australian and New Zealand accents?

Sorry, i'm English so.. HAHA :D.

[warriorrabbi]

yeh. im aussie. if you've seen the beached whale, thats new zealand accent, although slightly exaggerated.

[blUdz18]

Yeap. There is a HUGE difference that only Kiwis and Aussies can tell of. Just ask them to pronounce the number six. To a Kiwi, aussies would say it like 'seex' and to an Aussie it would sound like 'sux'. Watch a film like Whale Rider for a better understanding of the Kiwi accent. The aussie accent is pretty definitive.

[TheZoeAndAlexShow]

There is a MAJOR difference.

[mrsexysurfer]

hahaha pretty funny , but not true, australians are the funniest people you could meet.

[aussieebabe]

LMAO hahah funny shit

they say car we say car

nah but aussies are sick cunts: )

[angeleyes2696]

hahahahahhaha I feel the same...I am Canadian and get confused for American in London :P

[shamrogorr]

Americans and Canadians do have very similar accents though!

[taratazo11]

you think? i got told yesterday that our accents were more like the British.

[159candy159]

Canadians seem quieter then americans they have like a softer accent I think

[sneakysnake2730]

impossible to have a "soft" accent

u mean they have a softer tone

[xBeauVx]

Hahaha, I haven't seen this episode

[mauerbluemchen0]

I'm a first-generation Australian and don't particularly like the culture here, especially the way Aussies belittle New Zealanders and "Poms" all the time. Glad to see FOTC getting their own back over in America! The episode with Keitha was pure genius, and I don't care whether you're from SA or another "BoGn" (since when was it spelt that way?) state, learn to recognise comedy and light-hearted rivalry.

[taratazo11]

if your a first-generation australian and dont like "our" culture then why are you here?

-__-

i spell bogan B O G A N,

just sayin'

[mauerbluemchen0]

First-generation means I was born here...

[jli1877]

fking lol - an australian

[smpowis]

"You can uncover your eyes", oh my god...genius.

[seriousnews2]

They represent Aust as a land of rednecks, which of course it is to a large extent, but NOT ALL--I need only say of my b/place: Adelaide does not share the convict settlement history of other Australian cities like Sydney, Perth, Brisbane and Hobart. (Ugh). Adelaide was established as the centre of a planned province of free immigrants, promising political progressivism, civil liberties and freedom from religious persecution... led to world-first reforms/from nth'n UK, Germany, Austria (Wiki)

[ps3game360]

idiots like u piss me off Australia is not only a beautiful country but the people here are extremely friendly compared to the rest of the world i live in Melbourne and love it i have traveled alot and i can say that Melbourne is by far the best city in the world

[westaux999]

i've travelled more and auckland-o is the sh*t.

[seriousnews2]

ps3game: well said dude

[speier]

hahahah so funny

[weiholau]

LOL HAHA

[seriousnews2]

Most Aust'ns would think this is trash, and anyone sensible, or at least a South Aust'n with identity and history, yay, tells them to stop going for the easy money. Be more original. When I was growing up in SA this was foreign to me. Now I find this garbage all over. You can laugh at stereotype behavior for sure, but you can't throw in attacks that apply to a small handful of a country's population, just for laughs.

[mrmartyme]

your a bitch im from adelaide and everyone i know thinks this is funny as!! Harden the f*ck up

[BoGnBoy]

Most aussies find this hilarious, brilliantly funny. I think you need to take this less seriously and possibly, dare I say, take it as the genre it should be taken as? comedy. whoa shit. someone needs to use their brain.

Have a lovely day princess, and learn to have a laugh at something funny to almost all true australians, not because there are any real rivalries between Australia and NZ, but because a bit of banter is actually good, as long as the retards don't get involved. Like you.

[seriousnews2]

Have fun being a BoGn, and having other countries laugh at you. Enjoy your trips when people laugh at you and enjoy having a foreign cretin as your head of state. But then you probably never see other people, or leave your "comfort zone". How can tired "jokes" be "brilliant"?

[seriousnews2]

hey ... a post from account user "rubsley" says "Watching Flight.... has made me racist against Australians. And meeting Australians." Got the point I'm making? These comedians are making money from insulting other peoples, ... the money coming from somewhere else, the US. They should go back to singing songs about David Bowie, or make gay porn.

[viiccee]

lol..

[VivaLaM3]

''There like, Where's the car; and we're like ''Where's the car'' AHHAHAHAHAHAA

[toocaran]

I love the way us aussies and new zelanders can take the piss out of each other, good fun and good show too.

[JackiieBrownn]

I havee no idea lol

[ChocolateCarrotts]

p.s. has series two been aired in australia yet ?

[Sofia102]

it's in the middle of it now. monday evenings, abc, after south park

[Deathcat001]

Yes..... its funny cuz its good.

[ChocolateCarrotts]

i got hurt feelings, i got hurt feelings. :'(

as an aussie, i think it is hilarious when people (especially new zealanders) take the piss out of us. it is good to have a laugh at yourself.

[whatzupa]

I've never heard of this show anyway, then I saw that its on SBS.

What about Yanks though, they think they know the story about Australia.

Alot of them say "orr you guys are convicts" and that's all they say.

Well why did they go to America ? Things must have been great for them back in Europe ?

I've never told a Kiwi joke in my life, I never thought it was funny. The first time I heard a sheep reference I thought, "Not funny at all".

When a Kiwi shuns me overseas, embarassing.

[blUdz18]

Everyone ignore Truthgroove... just a silly little kid going around ALL FOTC videos and posting the same bullshit.

Just too incapable of accepting good natured humour aimed at aussies. Every country is made fun of. Get over it you douche!

[carolineisreallycool]

That person over there is a person.
