course he's a kiwi - can't stand the accent lol - a colleague once asked me get Siv'un twux-iz from the shop... took me so long to realise he wanted Seven Twix's
@Nat4Brendan bullshit mate I don't know where you're from but I have never heard anyone talk like that in the South Island, and no-one I know from up north sounds anywhere near that ridiculous
@B70Valkyrie His accents probably changed a bit from living in England for a while, but he's definately from New Zealand. I'm sure he's not Australian.
I think New Zealanders "lucked out" when God was handing out accents. I say this a "kiwi" it's not as lilting as an Irish accent, or as commanding as a Californian or New York Accent, think Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. Having said this not all Kiwis talk with the countryside twang that this guy had. It depends where you live and where you were brought up etc... It's like saying that all Londoners talk with a cockney accent.
New Zealand accents are nasal and have an upward inflection, Australian accents are just plain annoying, but at least we're not as harsh or as evil or as retarded sounding as South African accents. New Zealand accents and speech contains many colloquialisms and pecurialties, smattered with some Maori words such as "puku" "whanau" "wahine" and some words that you are not likely to hear in other countries such as "jandals" "barbie" "bach"
Been living in the States for 9 years...& my Hubby & I still have our proud as accent's, even our kid's still have a little of their accent's too. I love the Kiwi accent, it is so cute & funny...lol...& we do sound very much like the Aussies. While living in NZ i could tell the difference, but now we haven't been living at home for awhile,we do sound much a like. Just been home for 3 weeks over Christmas & New Year & so pleased to hear my Hubby say my accent got stronger while we were home ;)
@ji4tt yeah okay... so if u are from new zealand say chips or should I say chops...at least Australians pronounce the letters similar to the english or americans. New Zealanders sound like retards and can't pronounce words properly, at least people can understand every day words in australian.
@nick30195 are you basing this off beached whale by chance, cause from what i know, no one says chops in NZ, but i will give you the tin/ten and egg/igg.
however accents change with age and region, that guy sounds like a typical middle aged woman, where as i've been described as a mix of nz/aus/british by my "australian" friends.
@nick30195 oh i totes didnt know the correct pronunciation for fish and chips was feesh and cheeps? fuck your dumb, new zealand accents are way easier to understand, not that bag of kangaroo shit we call australian accents. ex oh ex oh
@ji4tt Hold up. So its ok for you to insult another country, but its not ok for me to defend my country? Ummmm that doesn't sound right, does it? Oh and by the way if I dumb, well your pretty special because i don't have to result to swearing when im making an arguement
Why the HELL are they all laughing like retarded squirrels? Perhaps I've not got any sense of humor but I'd get really offensed, there's nothing more annoying that people laughing at your accent.
@Mayonnaise4us I am Australian and was recently in the North Island 2 weeks. Some New Zealanders sound like this but many have much more subtle accents. I think Wellington and Auckland tend towards subtle accents. I did hear a few really broad twangy NZ accents (rural). Before I went many Australians asked'oh, are you from there?' and when there many NZ residents and other tourists asked 'are you a NZer' which suggests they couldn't be sure from my accent and that Aust-NZ accents can be similar.
@enzedbrit you obviously haven't been here long enough to understand the NZ sense of humour. I reiterate- pommy is a term of endearment , whinging pom is an insult. Bastard is also a term of endearment in NZ. So lighten up ya pommy bastard. lol
@marinepde2 I lived in NZ from age 5, and only low-class, barefoot bogans think there's anything clever in insulting people based on their race or ethnicity, and only morons would do anything they can to continue to use words that they know are racially offensive.
Im from NZ,and i have ALWAYS wanted to know what i sound like to others, so putting this up shows me that. I reckon this is entertaining and nothing close to offensive.
@marinepde2 So, because you say it it, that makes it so? I'm sure that when people in the States call black people 'niggers', they're being all matey, too. When was the crossover from pom being offensive, belittling and hateful to "a term of endearment"? I missed the memo on that one. Funny how those who use it and who know it's a rotten term would do ANYTHING to justify to keep using it rather than be the bigger man and stop using it.
@enzedbrit Judging by all the defensive comments you have written below, you are clearly trying to turn this into a racial debate like all Trolls do. You can go on about "Poms" "Niggers" whatever you want. But as long as you made that comment calling someone a Hori, you havn't got a leg to stand on and you will just get more and more defensive, angry and use aggressive language. You are showing your true colours and proving you are the hypocrite that everyone can see you are.
@rightonbruther actually, I do. If someone is Maori and uses "pom", then being called a "hori" in return conjures up the EXACT argument that I am hoping to raise, which I have done. Rather than see that, you have completely missed that point.
@enzedbrit I don't give a flying fuck! I don't care if you were bullied at school or whether you take it up the Ass. You came here to lecture everyone on calling names that are offfensive to people, yet you called someone a Hori. Whether it was in relaliation or not dosn't matter. You are trying to make yourself look good by playing "poor little I got picked on" but are no better. You ARE a hypocrite, and no matter what you say, you cannot ever get away from the fact you insulted someone else.
@enzedbrit Im a "Pom" Im not offended by it. I use the term all the time. My car number plate has Pom on it. My mates call me Pom. I call myself Pom. I love being called a Pom. You can call me Pom. The only people that get offended with the name/word Pom, are Non-Poms. Pom... Pom...Pom...Pom...
@napalmthem I got to NZ as a kid. I endured the taunting at school. It is not a nice word. I saw how it was used against my parents, the venom in it. Older people who arrive in Aus/NZ now as adults with NO knowledge of the term and go around saying "sure, use it", just piss me off. I no more admire you embracing the use of "pom" than I would a gay person saying that they don't care about, and embrace straights using, "fag", and there are people like that.
@enzedbrit Like I care. You are over sensitive and are trying to draw everyone into one big racial debate like all Trolls do. Get over yourself. You are raving on about fuck all. Besides if anyone wants to call me or anyone else a Pom, so be it. This video upload is all about accents and not race. So stick to that topic, and stop being so fucking dull and PC. Im bored with you now, so go and find somewhere else to Troll.
Haha I love being a New Zealander! That's exactly how we speak! Such a typical story too!!! Hehe jandals is the best cuz everyone else calls them...flip flops is it??? Haha <3
Like other countries there are slight differences in accent depending on which part of the country you are from or your social background, he is your typical working class NZer
The NZ accent is easy to understand if its not spoken to fast. This guy is clearly over doing it by speaking really fast to confuse Norton and the audience even more. Most of the English had no problem understanding me when I was there, because I made a point of speaking clearer than I did at home. A fast talking Pom is just as had to understand. Kiwi's do speak very fast, you ask any foreigner that has moved to NZ.
@beepbeepbabe I never said he was putting the accent on. I said he was speaking fast and overdoing it. The accent is clearly a NZ one like yours and mine.
@enzedbrit Totally incorrect. Pommy or Pom is not offensive and you know it. It is a friendly nick name not only given to English people,but also used by them.The English themselves often used this term infront of me and not one of them was offended.So it looks like you are the problem. It's no different than being called an Aussie or a Kiwi. Nobody gets offended by those names.You come here all PC, yet below you call somebody else a "Hori" You are a hypocrite just trolling to stir things up.
@rightonbruther Pom IS offensive, greatly so, just like hori, chink, or bong. We use it amongst ourselves, just like we gay people use fag or dyke, but that doesn't mean we let straights use it, or black people call each other niggers - you try saying that. Aussie & Kiwi are terms coined by Aussies & Kiwis for themselves; Pom is not. Pom was always a term of offence, something to throw with insults, used to belittle. That person I called a hori used the term pom, so I threw it back at them.
@rightonbruther and it's not fucking P fucking C to expect people NOT to go around using racially offensive terms that are designed purely and simply to mock, degrade and show off what arseholes the people using the term actually are!!!
@rightonbruther I am Australian and was talking to an Italian guy when I was in NZ. He said I was easier to understand than the New Zealanders because they speak so fast. (Hmm, that is the problem I have when trying to understand Italian! Next to the Spanish they seem to be the fastest talkers of all.)
I'm a kiwi that's never left the southern hemisphere, yet I have a british accent? Pretty much everyone says it sounds authentic, even my friends from Enlgand.
I don't get it, we can, at least I can, understand every other person from around the world who speaks English primarily, yet they can't understand us? It's really weird.
@ShaunassNZ Probably because we've been exposed to so much foreign TV, whereas New Zealand TV shows don't play around the world so they hardly ever hear the accent.
ahahaha oh mmy. Im kiwi but have been living in Australia for about 4 years now and i can see why others find it hard to understand us kiwis and aussies. I love our accent but sometimes even i find it hard to understand my family who are back in nz!
The awkward moment is when New Zealanders post comments on here saying "I'm from NZ and I can understand him". You bloody well should, You are from NZ........
I don't get what's so funny cos it's a load of bolicks?! I'm from NZ and I don't even hear any Kiwi talk like this! This guy sounds like a Saffa - get it right..
Ok, so im a kiwi girl.... i was afraid if i went on GN (like that would ever happen, i live @ the bottom of the world lol) but anywhos... i was worried if i did nobody would laugh @ what i had to say.....turns out it wouldnt mattered what i would say as long as i just opened my bloody mouth mate! Lolza!
@Haayyyden As an Australian I'll admit the first time you hear a New Zealand accent, it *does* sound funny. To Australians (and US and UK speakers) it sounds like the 'A's have been switched for 'E's, the 'E's switched for 'I's, and the 'I's flattened. Also it is not an accent heard too often, so the first time you hear it, it can really stand out. NZers like to caricature the Aust accent as having As, Es, and Is mixed-up -but it is actually the NZ accent where the vowel shift occured.
@zaniac100 Ah, I just listened to this again, his accent is really strong! Most people don't shift the vowels as much as this guy does. I would almost call him an Aussie to be honest.
Man you dont realise how we sound until you put us on a talk show in another country, that story was GOLD hahahaha

"When I was 'teeyn'" ... reminds me of the very first time I came to NZ & went to a pharmacy to buy stuffs and here's what happened:
Lady at the cashier:"teeyn dollars please"
Me: "huh?"
Lady at the cashier: "teeyn dollars"
Took me a while to realise that she said $10!!!!

The awkward moment is when New Zealanders post comments on here saying "I'm from NZ and I can understand him". You bloody well should, You are from NZ........

@Haayyyden As an Australian I'll admit the first time you hear a New Zealand accent, it *does* sound funny. To Australians (and US and UK speakers) it sounds like the 'A's have been switched for 'E's, the 'E's switched for 'I's, and the 'I's flattened. Also it is not an accent heard too often, so the first time you hear it, it can really stand out. NZers like to caricature the Aust accent as having As, Es, and Is mixed-up -but it is actually the NZ accent where the vowel shift occured.

@zaniac100 Ah, I just listened to this again, his accent is really strong! Most people don't shift the vowels as much as this guy does. I would almost call him an Aussie to be honest.
