My fave comment "If you are not wearing shoes in Sydney, you are probably from Brisbane." Too funny.
Very true. Theirs only 2 types of seasons up here. Overboard hot and warm. All my nice clothes I brought up from Sydney are in storage. You can only wear shorts and a shirt up here.
@@alikhadour5857 lucky bastards. i like in a place where winter lasts 5 months
@@alikhadour5857 That's why people from brisbane shouldnt go to melbourne. Last time i went (in Winter), i had only packed boardies and t-shirts and i nearly fuckin died, no shit.
as a guy in brissy, yeah basically...
I mean you are more likely to see that in Ipswich... Brisbane is like fancier Ipswich though
'I just give up and steal people's wallets anyway' 🤣 Love that dude
Yeah, he was amazing!
"This is probably not going to be the commercial for Vegemite"
*Catches a Vegemite*
"But it can be"
"Catches a Vegemite"
Sounds like a disease...
Hi from New Zealand, great to be neighbours with the Aussies
We love you guys too!
Chuck another beer in the chilly bin!
@@bluecedar7914 But Kiwis and Ausises don,t like British,I,ve met a few on my travels.
@@plymouthtoleedsonaxchst9537 Of course we do. I've met a lot, being an Aussie living in Australia. We call them Eskies, Kiwis call them chilly bins.
@@bluecedar7914 and why do aussies hate brits,is it that they sent the convicts there?
I am from Kazakhstan and my English teacher is from Australia, once she brought Vegemite to a class so that I could try it, and actually I liked it :))
Props to you for being like one of the the only people not from here that like vegemite
Nice! I think most people hate it because they lather it on like it’s Nutella 😂. You just have to learn the art of the tiny spread amount on toast that most Australians have mastered
Aussies _have_ to be laid back. With all the crazy critters, if they weren't chill they would be the most neurotic, on-edge people on the planet.
@@Ari-06. eep!
We barely have any critters in Perth, it's mostly Brisbane and NT that deals with the critters~
@@Ari-06. We only have quokkas on rottnest island, your family must live there
If you're American, you have alot more "critters"
That doesn't stop me from meeting a lot of girls who have fears of birds and spiders.
Thongs is flip flops ppl 😂 FYI
*cancels flight to brisbane*
You're so smart please teach us more.
I thought thongs are..... bikini??????
I forgot that they call them thongs 😂😂😭😭😭
@@ngxinloo3323 Not in Australia they aren't
When I was in the city, I literally saw a group of women walking barefoot while in their swimsuit bra. I asked my Aussie friend and he said, "Not really. Probably bogans." And then I googled search and I was like, "Oh...a female Chav."
And yes...I found a redback spider weaving its web under one of the pool lounges that I was sitting on. And my aussie friend carefully placed the critter inside a glass jar and set it off in the woods and he was so calm and even spoke to it and said, "Mate, please don't come back to my house. Thanks." I was like, "Bloody hell...This country's going to kill me."
You're unlikely to die from a redback spider bite (especially if you treat it properly - start with an ice pack on it, go to hospital if needed) but they can be pretty painful. Sydney funnel-web spiders, on the other hand...
I think in a lot of countries during Summer you'll come across guys and gals in their togs or something barely beyond the definition of underwear. In fact I think it's worse in cold countries because during the few days it's actually hot, everybody wants to act like they live in tropicália and wear next to nothing while sunbathing in the park.
In Australia when it's hot, I just want to stay indoors in the air-conditioning, because hot days are a dime a dozen. And when I do go swimming, I wear boardies and a rashie because the sun's too powerful to leave much skin exposed.
I love how we respect the animals here including the critters
Australian 🇦🇺 people seem to have laid back personalities. From my experience, they are nice people. Great video Marina! Sending my love for the week from Dallas, Texas 💘❤
Thanks! 😉 Texans seem pretty awesome too!
@@seratonin7004 👌🏻😉
Not all of us! 😂 *laughs nervously
I like how every country agrees on being the most drunk
As a Mexican guy who has travelled a lot, but hasn't been to Australia, I must say that Aussies are the coolest people on planet Earth, even if I don't know any of you personally! ❤️
Thank you for your kind words! As an Australian, I can say that we pride ourselves on our laid-back and friendly nature. We love to welcome visitors from all over the world and make them feel at home. We hope you get a chance to visit Australia someday and experience our unique culture and way of life.
The bit about Chris Hemsworth compared to normal aussie accent ^^
pure gold 😅😂
What a hilarious video! The australians in this video were so funny and sweet. Also loved the ending with the vegimite lol. That's one thing I think I'll survive without ever trying 😂
Nah, ya gotta taste it ( on bread or toast ) at least once!
I have had zero interest to ever travel to Australia but the vibe of those lovely people might change my mind. Really enjoyed this episode!
The best country ever! I've been there this year, and it's really amazing, especially because of the people!
mate i'm from belgium but i've spend one year in Australia and it was absolutly amazing the best year of my life so far, my dream now is actually to go back and never leave this country again
I’m from Australia and I think you’d enjoy it here! Just don’t come in summer near the north of Australia cause the weather can be way too hot (unless of course you love hot weather 😋)
It’s a beautiful country, one of the most beautiful places in the world, I recommend it!
Australia kinda sucks but it's worth a month-long trip around the coast and maybe to Uluru if you got time. It's good road trip country if you've got a big car with a bunch of friends and rocking tunes. Just make sure it's a comfortable car, because you'll be driving a lot.
Misty looks like Drew Barrymore!
What did Misty ever do to you?
Omg...Alexis is one of the must beautiful woman EVER. And yes, the accent is great too.
Probably because she looks like Meghan Fox and Maddison Beer
“Show me where the beer is, let’s have a chat”
What kind? Stubby????
Great video, enjoyed it! I'm American and will be moving to Australia in a few months! Excited!
You are lucky. I would never have come back from my 3 week stay if I didn't have a son LOL. I LOVED it there. Especially up north. We even hosted a barbie at the place we were staying at with a bunch of people who were there for a soccer tourney. Nothing like having all the kids make fun of the way us Americans talked hahaha. PS: Pay attention to the signs near creeks and rivers hahaha.
Someone chuck another snag on the barby. And yes, definitely pay attention to the signs near waterways.
Hope you enjoy your stay. What state(s) will you be visiting?
@@anonymousmena8404 already have 😝
@@BadWebDiver went to qld, vic , nsw, WA, nt. Did lots of road trips and worked in qld and vic.
Alexis....
Drop dead gorgeous.
This was a fun video!!
I went to Perth and had so much fun!
I'm Egyptian with recent Iranian, Syrian, Greek and Armenian descent, and I used to live in Perth. It's laid back and chill.
A stereotype I know is that Australian people are beautiful. You proved it here
The crying reaction to Vegemite, though! 😅
I totally fell in love with misty from Melbourne, so cute.
I'm a brit and I love the chilled out attitude the Aussies have
I really enjoy it, as usual. You always do something good. No, not always. But I enjoy most of them videos
Jajaja aussie accent it is sexy. I had a spider bite there and end at hospital. I Love australia 💕 but don vegemite 😂 saludos desde Argentina
New subscriber here from Brazil 🇧🇷
2:14 As a guy that has traveled a bit, this is so true.
That was way too much Vegimite! haha
Aussies 🇦🇺 have a laid back surfer attitude and are fun loving. Plus Alexis is a beauty
Up till the 90's some Kiwis had a thing about being confused for Aussies. To go as far as saying: my ancestors weren't convicts. At least in SoCal.
My gosh I had this one time where a lady from Finland heard my family say "Kiwis" referring to New Zealanders and that was the first time I realised that not many places say that haha
Alexis is so Sydney 😂
Tony and Misty is SO Melbourne 😆
Hearing girl talk about fighting a dingo is the most unhinged and chaotic thing I've ever heard
"Send us back, we're stuck in Canada - HELP US"
As a Taswegian in Canada, 100% agree. Stuck in Canada for 20yrs and when I'm ready to head back, Covid happened.
Visited Australia last year in summer.
Loved it, and have plans to retire in Cannes!!
And Vegamite is AWESOME!!
Cairns? Cannes is in France :P
@Dating Beyond Borders
Good one Marina! 👍 You're better than me. I can't get that vile yeast infection Vegemite past my nose.
As an Aussie, ... I totally approve this video! :)
I just totally DIED laughing at tasting vegemite for the first time and absolutely hating it. 😂😂😂😂😂
The end tho hahaha
Really like this channel and its content, blown away by the low views, should have millions
“people get worried that they will offend you if they mix up your accent with New Zealand... I’m fine, i mean i couldn’t tell the difference between you and Americans when i first came here”
*damn*
I really do have kangaroos, well wallabies, in my sydney backyard most days.
kroo07 No, you don’t.
Yeah well if you live up against a forest reserve or whatever, you're bound to have a bunch of animals visiting your yard. I imagine this goes for any country in the world.
Hahaha I was just talking to an Aussie today about stereotypes of Australians by Americans. He mentioned something about what people here might say when they hear his accent. I informed him that no, they are definitely NOT going to say "oh, you're from Australia aren't ya?" when they hear the accent. But they will most definitely say "are you from England?" haha
I think most Americans can't tell the difference between English, Scottish, Irish and Australian accents
When we lived in the UK, people there couldn't tell the difference between Aus, NZ and Sth African accents - regularly saw letters to the paper asking how to tell the difference.
@@laetitiabailey-mortimer8532 I guess it does make sense though.... I can only tell the difference myself because I've immersed myself in the accents with communication or even watching TV. I'm sure I'd get it wrong too if I heard one of the lesser known accents... like English/etc... accents that aren't portrayed much on TV. I might not even understand it then!
@@laetitiabailey-mortimer8532 The Kiwi comedian Cal Wilson ( I think it was her ) gave the best guide I have heard for telling these three accents apart- the Australian accent is the annoying nasally accent, the New Zealand accent is the annoying whiny accent, and the South African accent is the one that sounds like pure evil.
@@bluecedar7914 🤣🤣🤣
@@bluecedar7914 - I describe our vowels as being like our geography. Aussie is flat, NZ is spiky like their mountains. As for Sth African, think Dutch.
I LOVE me some Aussies. Having traveled a little but, I have to say, they were some of the nicest people I have ever met. So welcoming. And yes, they do LOVE to drink haha. If you are a yank, be prepared to be double fisted all night when hanging out with them at a bar. They will make sure you get DRUNK hahaha.
the lady at 3:13 says, 'i think we have a little disregard for rules'.
Indian says, 'hold my beer'.
One fellow said that his family played up their convict (boat) heritage as a point of pride. In the U.S., we used to play up our New England Mayflower heritage although that brings up our strong religious fervour that no else seems to like anymore ;-).
Lol love this video.
The convict colonies established by the (pomes) english were tasmania and new south wales....but the town established in western australia was and still is a free colony...known as fremantle.....although most ausdies are similar......there are really big differences in attitudes between states.....
I love Aussies 😍😍❤️❤️
That's why I always go back and even my sisters are studying and working there
0:04 I love her haha.
Do a French People react to stereotypes
vegimite is my hangover cure, on toast with loads of butter. And a beer. shoes are optional unless its 47 degrees.
I love Vegemite (my country loves it, Australian Colonial influence)
DROR BEAR! Haha NSW here.
That reaction at the end was so adorable lol was it really that horrible?
YES!
@@DatingBeyondBorders - then it was applied too thick for your first taste. When you first try it, it should be but a shadow on your bread (that has a thick layer of butter or margarine applied first). Then you can build up to 'full strength' (NOT eaten like peanut butter on a teaspoon) over the following years. :)
Aww, no warnings from your interviewees about Australian "drop bears"? LOL
You set Marina up. You should have given her just a tiny bit of vegemite on that roll. It would be salty enough but properly mixed with butter would probably be eatable.
Aussies are the most chill westerners as far as I interacted with western people. Slovakians come in second.
Australian people are amazing and awesome
This was great! 💖
I'd love to see a video on why Aussies and Canadians get along so well. There's clearly some weird chemistry going on between us lol
Being laidback and not stuck-up Americans helps you both!
Both ex-British colonies, who share the same British traditions and social system. (Social welfare, parliamentary government, etc.) Both fought with the Commonwealth in both world wars. Both are the strongest rivals at the Commonwealth games - especially swimming/diving.
As an Aussie, I've always loved Canadians for having the best of British/American culture combination, and a world-class sense of humor!
You Canadian or Australian?
@@Sophiedesjardins I'm Australian 🇦🇺❤
@@BadWebDiver I've absolutely noticed the sense of humour in common, and am aware of the historical commonalities but I wonder how much influence that has on current day social climate? Do you think it's a lot? I think you're right about the laid back attitudes and with the humour there's a sense of wanting to just kind of get along and for everyone to be mates a b have a good time...
You forgot the drop bear🐨
2:58 I am not a criminal.
WOW!!! Alexis!
I was reading and hearing about Australian wines becoming more well known because many are sulphite free. I had read in an organic gardening magazine that Australia had poor soil and common farming technique was layering straw and compost - in regards to vegetables,I think it was? Sheep farming is fairly well known and shepherds pie is popular... Any Aussies reading this comment that know about these things?
I also watch an abundance of vintage lifestyle/clothing channels from Australia - is this very popular?
The typical Sydney attitude of “my shit doesn’t stink” even resonates through the screen. Misty is Aussie. Alexis is Sydney. Huge difference.
i'm from Sydney and even I can confirm that lol. But there are different types of Sydnesians and not all are like that
@@mialily6787 wah? You mean Sydney Siders?
its true. we love our booze.. especially during the biggest sporting events of the year "AFL Grand Final and NRL Grand Final." we are very laid back but not during sports. its stressful.
Especially state of origin
Have met some Aussies and yeah quite laidback as well as got good banter too... Also I do think their accent can be sexy and a bit annoying but overall it is sexy
"Thaht's nawt a thingy...This isa thingy!"
just realized the Robert Downey Jr. reference was a Tropic Thunder reference lol
Yep.
I love the accent
the dangerous animal thing is so overstated and over blown, i would say wild animals of north America are waaaaaaay more dangerous! Bears, cougars, wolves and Alligators, you know actual apex predators not a spider or a snake that'll usually flee from you if you get to close or Crocodiles that live in places that the majority of the population don't live near or dingo's that are rare to see and don't often approach people.
Yes we are convicts by heritage....can't you tell? But the Aussie accent sexy? Only a Canadian would think that!

He looks like a crossing of kaiji, akagi and Ian mccollum.
Y’all should do one with West Indian people

Aussies really are not drunkards compared to most European countries. Seriously, go to any country in Europe (not just mainland Europe but the UK and whatnot as well) and you'll almost certainly be encountering a lot more drinking shenanigans (especially amongst the younger crowd) than in Australia.
It might be because the liquor laws are petty crap in Australia compared to most of Europe.
Sorry Aussie’s but just accept your accent is DEAD sexy and Hollywood has nothing to do w it.
And Koalas 🐨 are adorable!
Erm visit Australia and hear non-actor accents.... It's the worse accent as in nails on chalk board horrible.
Haha if we have to 😜😂
Come to Caboolture and try to say that again with sincerity.
Do a kiwi one please!
The girl who said she doesn’t even like Vegemite looks just like Drew Barymore (when she was younger). It’s impressive!
There were a lot of convicts sent to Australia, however a lot were either Irish and Scottish not English. As in those times Irish was still the main language spoken in Ireland many spoke little or no English and were assumed guilty when put before an English court if they couldn't speak English. In the 19th Century Irish was the second most commonly spoken language in Australia behind English but it was frowned upon and seen as suspicious so they would be forced to speak English. The Irish language still has a small community of just over 1500 speakers in Australia. There were also a lot more free settlers than convicts but many people would probably be descendants of both and the convict side is often more notable. During the Gold rush in the 1850s there was a sudden influx of Chinese immigrants. Also the British broke 3 of their own laws upon settling in Australia. They were only allowed under their laws to take the land if they fought an organise battle against the natives, the natives agreed to give them land or the land was totally uninhabited. The Dutch and the French had actually found Australia about a century before the British but they landed on the Kimberley Coast of Western Australia which is one of few places in the world where the desert meets the sea. The British claimed "Terra Nullius" or land belonging to no one because they saw no evidence of cultivation. The oppressed Irish and Scottish who had come from Celtic origins as opposed to Anglo-Saxon English, were generally more sympathetic towards the natives as they too had faced centuries of oppression from the English. Only a small portion were actually convicts. Melbourne and Sydney were built by convicts. Hobart, Tasmania was the original tertiary penal colony but that later changed to Moreton Bay, Queensland (The original convict Settlement in Queensland was actually Scarborough but it later moved to Brisbane, as they did not originally find the mouth of the Brisbane River which is quite hard to imagine now). The Scarborough settlement in Queensland was not very big and didn't last long because the area was too open as it is on the Northern parts of the Redcliffe Peninsula. Perth and Adelaide were not originally Convict cities but were changed into convict cities because the Population did not grow on its own. Western Australia originally rejected the idea of joining the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 but reluctantly joined. Melbourne and Sydney couldn't agree which should be the capital and Brisbane offered to be the capital to avoid a dispute but were ignored. Instead the states opted for a capital around half way inbetween as there was the town settlement of Queenbeyan, which Canberra would be built around as the national capital.
Love Australia
From Philippines
It would be amazing if you uploaded a video about dating an Scottish man
Just saying... 😂
These stereotypes lol 🤧
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Oi oi oi
New stereotype: it's a fucking prison.
I always have the feeling that Australia is the Brazil that went well.
Plus, I just understand 50% of what they speak, hahahaha...
@Sergio Díaz Nila the goverment there. We are kinda similar countries with animals, beaches, and blá blá blá...
As an Aussie ... this was not a very good representation of Aussies - a few things stated were not how most Aussies would commonly answer those questions. I'd call this a bit of a modern aberration.
Really? I though it was pretty close. Just finished my vegemite toast for breaky.😁
Ms. Misty reminds me of the great actor Drew Barrymore...
South Australia - first Australian free state, not settled by convicts
I can sum it up for you, I had an Australian friend come over to Italy for 2 months and we smoked bowls all day whilst binge watching a show called The Big Lez Show, drunk all night and even when we went hiking in the mountains he was still wearing his adidas slides on. #fucken oath
Most annoying stereotype: Aussies live upside down.
Why is drunkard is myth? They all agreed
bro really ruined koalas for me
is the thicc aussie accent of the rural regions comparable to scarbrough accent of Toronto?
Daniyal Yes!
Yes to Promite! Can't do vegemite. Marmite is 50/50. Honestly you only need a light smear of vegemite, they stitched you up with that much on that croissant. Only hardcore vegemite users put that much on.
RIP Headphone users with those edit squeals at the end
I immediately followed Alexis on Instagram after this video. She is Sharp and gorgeous. I hope she reads this comment somehow. Love you!
I can see why the Emus won
I love everything about Australia. Except distance.
Australian here... public service announcement to clarify that not all Ozzies are convicts. There were people living on Australia before Europeans arrived. That is all.
Us Aussies don't drink FOSTERS!
Told by an Aussie, "Thawt's for tawrists, mate!"
Aussie here, we are not all convicts. I sure as hell am not.
