What Australian really think of America
What do Australians think of America?
I walked around Melbourne, Australia interviewing Australians and asking them what they thought of America. Got some great reactions.

Us Australians watch America like a tv show.
At the moment it's sort of like watching the proverbial train wreck. Horrified fascination.
American is very much a tv show and the writers have lost the plot...hope next season is better!
Us Americans watch Australians like a tv show.
Edit: well maybe just me
Mr. Chicken Nugget is How so?
@@joeyderosa8494 Mate, it must bore you to the hell! there is really nothing interesting happening down here, stop watching us....
Don’t think people from Melbourne represent all Australians.
Bingo!!
We have meny jokes about Victorians - more than any other state.
Random selection of less than 10 people is never going to be representative of an entire country.
No shit Sherlock. But that's where he was when he made this video.
@@shmick6079 Yeah and also, water is wet.
If I had to boil each culture down to one thing that encompasses the difference in thinking between the two cultures I'd say Americans are very big on "I know my rights" and Aussies on being given "a fair go". On the surface the two cultures appear similar but there's vast differences in thinking and etiquette
Been a few Aussie Karen's lately who think otherwise..
@@somethingelse9535 a few doesn't represent the many.
Alot of us want our rights to shape a fair go.
@@somethingelse9535 karens are people like you who to feel safe by oppressing others lol
@@somethingelse9535 thats the americanism seeping in from people watching and listening to too much american tv, news and assorted media.
Its actually a bit sad watching it happen. We are australia, not america. We are not the same by a long stretch. And our social issues and histories etc are very different. People need to remember what being an australian is about... which is about the fair go, and looking out for each other, sticking together.. being able to take the mickey of each other regardless of background and going to bat and sticking up for each other when an outsider does it. Not being so serious all the time. But knowing when its time to step up.
I have to say, i have never been more greatful to be an australian. You couldnt pay me to immigrate there. Visit maybe.. but always glad to come home.
You won’t be visiting for a long time. If you did get in, the world in the current situation would never let you out.
Lol it’s not as bad as it’s made out to be.... 😂
Lol have you ever gone?
@@sweeterlemons3062 Yes I've been and I've never had deeper appreciation for my homeland. Free healthcare and decent poverty support. That's all ima say.
Emigrate. You emigrate out of a place. Immigrate into one.
as a person from Sweden i think of australia as the perfect country, big enough and great weather, good paying jobs, nice people etc.
My little brothers missus is from Canada and she caught heat stroke two years in a row during our summer time. U say its great weather. Just be prepared to get blasted cause the heat is real down here.
@@nizzanator However so is the cold. Ik it's a lot colder in other places but half the time in Australia it' 's either very cold or very hot and you never seem to get used to it, you just find ways to deal with it. Honestly, the perfect weather is like 30 celsius!.
I remember the majority of my friends and family were laughing at England a few years back when they were acting so dramatic over like 30 degrees lol.
@@luanaastralis9991 The cold isnt that bad to deal with. But summer heat is next level. At least where im from
Nowhere is perfect, but Australia is definitely better than most places in most aspects.
In Melbourne we call aspiring actors baristas lol
Haha so true 😂🙌
I've been to America a couple of times, from the West Coast to the East Coast and in between, I genuinely met the loveliest, friendliest people, their hospitality was amazing, the only thing that was a minus is they think they're the only country that exists. I even had this guy thinking kangaroos were even jumping in our big cities in Australia. I feel they're being divided by their politics which is sad to hear, I can't understand why they don't have free hospitals like we do classed as Public Hospitals and the wages are so low. I wish for them to get free health care, it would be a terrible worry if one of their loved ones got ill.
To be fair, I live in Brisbane, and I can often watch roos from my apartment balcony n the early mornings. I live in the not quite inner suburbs, and there’s a creek next to my apartment complex with some trees and a bit of grass. They hop along the creek up to where I am, from a bush reserve two streets away.
That being said, I know that the northern suburbs of Brisbane do tend to have a lot of greenery (a yard without a couple of mature trees is highly unusual), there’s a lot of small bits of bush dotted throughout the suburbs, plus some larger nature reserves. It’s a really green city, especially on the Northside. So we get quite a bit of wildlife. Roos, snakes, birds (especially cockatoos and galahs and bush turkeys as well as some eagles and hawks) koalas (my old house one suburb over had a koala that lived in a big gum tree in our backyard), plenty of possums, lizards, the lot really.
But I also live in a part of the city that’s older and more established, and we don’t have any of those awful new subdivisions with boxy little houses with no yards and no trees. They tend to be further out from the city, in newer suburbs. And they’re bloody awful! I lived in one once, and never again. There’s just no life or character to those places, and they’re full of bogans and derros.
@@katherinemorelle7115 Yes I moved to the outer suburbs when I retired the houses were very nice but no big yard and narrow streets disliked living there but wait for it moved further out as now I have a great yard, wide roads, mature trees, very nice, but deep down should have stayed put when I lived only 6ks from the city as I had all the facilities so close to get on a bus not having to drive to Brisbane ~ big mistake unfortunately on my behalf.
@@katherinemorelle7115 where is your apartment, love to live near a creek, when I fist moved outer Brisbane saw the kangaroos, it's funny they put on the road Beware of the Wildlife or Beware of the Kangaroos while the developers have taken over, not a koala or kangaroo to be seen.
Cherrylle Allan I’m in Everton Park, on the north west of Brisbane. It’s an established older suburb, less than 10km from the city.
@@katherinemorelle7115 oh that's funny I originally lived at Stafford, so close to you, yes Everton Park is pretty central with good yards, (established) in Minimine Street, it had City views, sold it at the wrong time, now it's classed as Millionaires row, yes big mistake on my behalf 🙂
Oh, Melbourne, that's saying it all.
how so?
@@setek15golr because they're less judgmental I assume lol
People are criticizing Tristan for *censoring* the racist dude, but like... no, he absolutely didn't censor him, he put a disclaimer beforehand and put his words up.
Censoring would've been if he had simply removed it all together. And even then, damaging remarks and potential hate speech can be removed from an individual's platform.
I don't know what you want him to do, and I don't know why y'all are complaining.
Why you shouldn't make out that our country doesn't have racism in it that's just making out that we live in a perfect country and we don't and you can't call America arrogant oif we are going to do the same thing all countries have racism in it
@@suemcdermott3482 mmm yeah. I wasn't saying that, and neither was the video. Shitton a countries are bigoted, big surprise, not sure how it's relevant to this comment.
You make a good point.
The girl with the sunnies wearing black doesn’t have a clue
Why do you say that?
I feel like she is trying not to be too rude being in front of an american. But failing as she clearly dislikes Americans.
i've lived in the usa several times. lovely people but thick as a brick
Yes likewise
Sad but true
Thick as a brick?
WOW RUDE! I just googled it cause normally people don’t say that. R👏U👏D👏E👏 😂😂😂
Google compared the phrase “thick as a brick” to being STONED. for real? Where’d you go? I gotta know. I think maybe a huge city? Cause more people means more tweakers. If you went to a small town there’d be more of a community and less pot heads. Don’t mean to be rude sorry. I’m not really upset actually.
@@incredingo where’d you go? Please tell me!!
@@sweeterlemons3062 i already answered you. look above. if you mean the usa i have been to every state and lived long term in two - RI and WI

how's the quote at 5:09.. ? the old girl nailed it..
Haha I'm American but that quick cut of the first guy had me howling
That guy wasn't being racist.. he was telling facts.. .
As soon as you started talking to the white-haired guy in the checked shirt I knew where it was going to go 😏 Well done on stopping it there!
His a rich old dude, probably doesn't even believe in Climate Change either. I loved the people, their hospitality was A1 but now a lot of division is showing up, blame Trump. I'm sure a lot of Americans would love Australia. Our continent is as large as USA and I'm sure they would love our diversity in every state.
@Zip Zenac The fact he still thinks Japan is an enemy rather than one of our closest allies says a lot.
It wasn’t just him. The dude with a missing tooth was just as bad albeit in a different manner. In fact most had some comments that perpetuated a complete stereotypical outlook in other countries. I’d have liked to have thought we were advancing past that.
fuck of u liberal wanker go to usa if u love having ur freedom striped
@@cherrylleallan2825 im 29 not ritch and i dont belive in climate change ever hear of the ice age the earth has ways of repairing its self you just look like a clown
oh my god that guy. i have never talked to an aussie who likes trump
if you want to see aussie right winger trump supporters, go to ozbargain discussion pages
you mustn't talk to many Aussies then
@@adambennett1193 i am an aussie. never met anyone in my life who supports him
@@sassybdassi6686 we are the silent majority as they say. Many are afraid to speak out in ridicule but all I can say is the media lies and do your own research on trump. there will be books written about him 100yr from now about how he saved the world from satanists.
@Zip Zenac what about your healthcare and dividing a nation, his a lying disgrace, only in it for the rich, don't get sick will you; so you keep following him and see how your nation goes down the gutter. How could a person with any conscience follow that stupid, egotistical narcissist. You might have plenty of $$$'s as I said don't fall ill you'll end up bankrupt. Not smart.
What I and many others dislike about America is their belief that they are “the leaders of the free world”. That is a position they elected the self to, nobody asked them to take on that role and very few accept them as such.
Yes, Biden said they "are back at the head of the table". Nobody even invited them to the table. Maybe under it cleaning up the scraps like a dog?
@@Rottnwoman we don’t like Biden believe me
Seriously? Who then should be that leader?
Everybody nearly losing their rear-ends to the Germans and the Japanese is what made us the leaders of the free world.
In a democracy everyones opinions are allowed even the right wing guys opinion that you hated so much.
that's how it should be but now in America is quite different. I remember when Trump (and I do think he's a liar and will not confide in him) was running for the election; there were people
protesting as you remember. I remember one scene in Northern California when people supporting Trump (this one young man in particular comes to mind as my heart sank watching him) had to run for their lives. I was *FUMMED WITH ANGER AND RAGE* that I thought: get Trump into office! any dislike for Trump disappeared and it was just about getting this man into office. Liberalism is evil.
@@zzludzz you're so correct. They are driven only be emotions, there is no real logic. And just cos Trump isn't 'nice' he's bad? wtf? He's a strong leader and that's just what's needed in the current world climate.
Unfortunately Melbourne is the left leaning city as are the sheep University students around the country.
This isn’t a democracy though, it’s one humans UA-cam channel and he can edit it any way he sees fit.
Exactly! ALL opinions!
Aside from the difficulty of immigrating, and even more so than relatives and friends, the thing that most makes me want to stay in the US is the scenery, especially in the West.
We visit your scenery every four years but live there? NO WAY.
The scenery i in Australia is so much better than the u.s
That's the ONLY reason we go there. First buy is always a National Parks pass.
@@nathanbrooks2043 NOT in my opinion - we have NOTHING that can rival Glacier National Park etc.
As an American…. The last man is absolutely correct
You can just tell how much swearing is a casual thing in Australia.
100% 👍
From all of the. Comments I find them to be very normal and interesting and makes me want to visit Australia myself.
Yes, why not
America is a beautiful country from coast to coast.
But a very ugly society. I am happiest in your country when in a National Park.
Great video, good editing skills man!
i moved to the usa from aussie . my husband is an american. food is huge here and it snows heavily where we live in the usa.the one thing i miss from australia other then my family is the beach.
AND the knowledge of when to use "than" instead of "then"?
@@Rottnwoman you do know it’s possible for people to make spelling mistakes right?
The nerdy, Aussie girl that hates the American accent is probably referring to the stereotypical valley girl, or the tough NYC characters in TV shows and movies. I'm an American, and I don't talk like anyone of those people. I'm from the midwest, specifically the Chicago area in Illinois. Never judge a book by its cover, as there is more than one American accent, just like there is more than one Aussie accent. Also, there are racist people in Australia. You don't see any Aboriginal Aussies in Australian government or working as TV presenters, not that I know of. I've never been to Australia. I'm just going by what I've discovered through UA-cam and news.
They really found some real dummies to ask questions of.
Last guy was the most interesting, should have kept it all
4:43 is right near my house ! I live 200 metres from Luna Park (:
What do you like about America??
..........taco bell is cool......
i'll be real, the people are actually so nice, and i love media which comes from america. lots of great landscapes and such. even if i poke fun at americans myself sometimes i'll admit others can take their distaste too far lol.
The guns
Name a country that doesn’t have racism
I can’t.
Plus, there is still slavery in the world. All hush hush of course. Anyone reading the Old Testament can read what 'god' thought an appropriate price for slaves and daughters and how much you could strike them... apart from him being a genocidalist (please don't ask me for chapters and verses... that shit I never remember).
I think here though (racism), it's often taken as, or was that everything is offensive now. Like referring to your German mate as a Kraut, or an English mate as a Pom, etc. Are people so thin skinned these days, or just looking for things to be offended about?

What exactly did he say that was overtly racist? I don't think he was trying to be racist. I think he was just giving his opinion. I never heard anyone of you put a disclaimer about people calling us racist, or about talking about our President. Y'all wonder why we don't "know" about other countries or cultures... It's not because we are dumb. It's simply because the average American doesn't care. I'll bet there was a large population of the Australian people that thought our gun laws were horrible until the Australian government showed just how authoritarian they actually are. You know why we were not locked up like y'all were and probably still are at some level? Guns, the second amendment. Its like our forefathers knew governments naturally become authoritarian when they don't fear their people.who knew
9:00 was this guy like born in the 1910’s???? He else also mentioned, America has freedom and prosperity like it’s the 1950’s proporganda video. Mate what you think Australia is.
The slightly deepseeded disdain towards America actually stems from the U.S. soldiers who were stationed in Australia during WWII, plus throw Trump on top of that now
Actually no, a lot of us have also had some bad experiences with Americans.
While a few have been nice quite a few tourist are very belittling to us. Many are down right rude.
Tristan, you may consider doing a bit of research and doing another vid, focusing on the difference in education between Australia and USA. I lived in USA about 25 years ago and was stunned how far behind USA was compared to Australia in education. In addition to that, to give an example... buddy of mine from Australia went to college in USA in preparation for a medical diploma. He said his fellow US college students were being introduced to algebra, geometry and trigonometry for the first time that he and I both first did in the 4th grade of Australian Primary school, being the equivalent of US elementary school.
I don’t think what you’ve heard about US education is right. I had completed algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and was in calculus by the time I was 16
@@TristanKuhn Thanks for Donald Trump absolute comedy gold. When they say anybody can grow up to be president they weren't kidding.
@Sumit Mishra not true, have you even been to Australia? Just saying, yr 4 in Australia means your 9-10 years old. That’s 7-6 years ahead of America, so don’t go ahead and say that without even fact checking and don’t say because your American and patriotic to your country (which I respect, everybody deserves a say) but just fact check it before saying.
@@TristanKuhn yea most people dont take calculus when they are 16. U must be einstein
My daughter is still in high-school, and she has done all that math.
As an American with a lot of friends from outside the country this is interesting as fuck 😂😂
If you try really hard, you may just be able to squeeze a few more 'likes' into your sentences! :)
How do you know that the views the bloke at the pub expressed are not held by the majority of Australians. You CAN NOT possibly know that with your paltry experience is Australia.
I cringed when the girl said she liked american make up. The EU and australia have around 5000 substances banned from cosmetics as being exploitative, harmful, dangerous or toxic, etc. The us has 4. The make-up is far from superior there, it's just they are allowed to do terrible things.
It gets worse though. In the US the food doesn't need to tell the whole truth, as I've learned from an American chef that moved here. Much of their honey is watered down with corn-syrup. Can you imagine? I buy from a bloke up the road that has his own hives, none of that crap. Let alone the excess of all sugars in much of their foods - like bread - wtf? Coke and chocolate are other examples of over-sweetened.
@@theoneandonlyowl3764 Yeah I've seen that before, there was a consumer show that listed like 10 brands of 'honey' that literally contained zero honey at all only corn syrup. They get away with all sorts of bullshit cos that's capitalism right?
@@JohnThomas-fb1um Dunno what it is, maybe they haven't grown up with the taste of real honey/milk/cream/butter and good meats, like some of us did, that actually came out of the shed or paddock.
Maybe why there seems so many going off-grid these days and raising their own, like the farm I grew up on.
@@theoneandonlyowl3764 I'm pretty sure chocolate in America, under Australian consumer laws would be illegal to sell as real chocolate.

You could edit the video however you want.
Australians tend to forget that they have Scott Morrison.
At least ScoMo doesn't tweet out nonsense every 2 minutes.
ScoMo is good as hell - don't see Trump doing much about Covid 19
? He's been a great PM, just who we needed for covid. He's gone a great job.
So has Trump, much to the dissatisfaction of the elite left.
ScAmo has been too scared to take the strong steps needed to protect us. Most infections in Australia came from the US yet he didn't shut the border to the US until way too late because he was sh*t scared of upsetting President Crybaby Trump. We need a strong leader that puts Australian needs first, not some scaredy cat.
@@Aiden214 Oh honey no. Bushfire holiday? Look, Morrison has stepped up and done very well ushering us through the Covid-19 situation, so I commend him for that. Also, I am so tired of the concept of "Elite Left" like the "Elite Right" doesn't also exist.
These young people talk about gun violence and blend it with the 2nd. Facepalm.
Nobody is perfect, so we can't throw stones at America. Some fine people, who have done great things to help those less fortunate then themselves, are American .
I've never met an American and I can live with that no worries
Lol give other people a chance. Just cause Australians point of view based on this video wasn’t entirely accurate from an Americans point of view. Cause all Australians hear of america is the bad things that go on the news.
We can live without y’all as well.
I met lots while working a pub in the far north, and worldwide. Nice folk. I even tried to hand back a $50 tip once, saying I didn't need it and was paid well here. Oh well, I tried. All because I remembered their family's drink order and brought another round whenever the bloke caught my attention (we didn't even have table service, lol).
Some are very nice, sensible and intelligent - but 99% are very forgettable. I loved the lady from Virginia who asked me for directions in upstate NY! I had stopped to buy a map because we were lost! We had a good laugh together and soldiered on - I hope she found her way.
@@sweeterlemons3062 No, many of us go there regularly and see the anxiety on the faces of wait staff who won't eat if you don't like their service - that's inhumane.
I don't understand how people think us New Yorkers are rude. We're nice people it's just that we can be a bit cold lol. But it's a big city thing. I hear London is a bit similar. Toronto as well.
Food portions? Just because it’s on your plate does not meant you have to eat it.
Wonder what the guy at thepatio/bar would say if Tristans buddy is the one who interviewed him instead 🤔
Ive met a few americans and I think they were great ppl.. they love our culture and prob think we're a little mad lol.. I hate the politics and the guns laws and the racists there..Including that guy with the white hair from our country.. no need for it...but all in all most Americans are good ppl :) We're all different and we can learn from each other. :)
I'm living for that elder Aboriginal man
City Abos are so funny... apart from the psycho woman across the the road from me. Two options, yelling obscenities for the whole street to hear, or silent. And being an insomniac I hear every car that comes and goes between midnight and 4am... not implying anything, just saying.
I lived beside a reserve in the middle of nowhere for a few years. Nicest, most genuine people on earth, even if 95% still hadn't worked out the concept of money, especially budgeting for the fortnight... they could always go bush for tucker. I spent as much time as I could with them. Great people in places they belong. Cities...
The old man has lost touch with his heritage, he needs to reconnect with it and find himself.
We're both LIKE aspiring LIKE actors LIKE and I know LIKE that if I LIKE go to America LIKE I'll learn to LIKE speak LIKE properly LIKE you know LIKE.
FFS GET A VOCABULARY
0:00 agree 100%
i have nothing against America i play games online with americans they are good people , i just do not like the gun laws they need to change.
the amount of school shootings makes me sad.
You can really tell most Australians get their info on America from news outlets. It seems like they think most Americans have been in shoot-outs, and that "gun violence" is an everyday thing here. They also don't seem to comprehend that America actually has a HUGE middle class, it isn't just the really rich and the really poor.
Somebody tell the people in these videos that there are thousands of other cities besides New York.
And other cities here than the Peoples Democratic Republik of Victoria.
I personally hate NYC
rachrex out of the 2016 elections, trump was the best president. And although he has done a lot of bad shit, he is no cap better than Obama. From an Aussie.
@@rachrex Thanks, I actually can't vote yet but in 2024 I can vote but trust me, I hate trump so much and he has made like, every country hate us and it's sad. Just know that not all Americans are like trump. Trump didn't win the popular vote so, more people didn't want him but he got in anyways
And? New York City, happens to be our largest and most vibrant city, a world center of finance, an international trendsetter, a source of much of our collective wealth. It would be natural for Australians to show an interest in visiting. There are indeed a lot of interesting smaller towns on the Pacific and the Upper Midwest, but perhaps not as well known. I am not a New Yorker, in fact I have never been there, but wouldn't waste the time to gainsay an Aussie's wish to visit New York City, if they really wanted to.
America, my impression having been there 10+ times. Most people are genuinely nice and sincere. Gun laws suck.
I found the people great when I visited and always felt safe. But there was a lack of social infrastructure compared to Australia. Like not a lot of parks etc beaches were not as good. Spectacular geology though. And their Macdonalds were awful compared to ours.
Gun laws keep it safe we aint australia lots of people want tp use are miltary to take over the world american people are the last line of defense against that
Sometimes I say Melbern
Simple Question.
Does America in general.
Does it suck.
Yes or No. 🤔
You edited that well
What in the hell was racist about the guy’s comment?
I think Americans are proof that Mother Nature has a sense of humour
I think you'd make a great American
A DARK sense of humour!
just realized that Aussies say "like" as much as Cali girls
That last guy has me shocked and I grew up with a racist but baby Jesus 😳
As a proud Australian woman let me testify that most people here do not think like this. At all!
You like the yanks?
Racism is very much exaggerated but even in the south I have never met one and police violence is also played up
I agree
Racism in America is not at all exaggerated. It is one of the most racist countries in the world
I love and hate that you interviewed that older guy lolll.
I'm just curious, is "irony" not a thing in Australia?
Many of the people in this video - and especially the comment section - sound just as arrogant and judgemental as they love accusing Americans of being. I am, in fact, very curious about the world outside of my own little American bubble, and I've been enamoured with Australia my entire life. I had always imagined that the people there, generally speaking, would be as amazing as their country.
It pains me to see such a stone-hearted, ignorant mindset against America/Americans, proliferating throughout what appears to be the representative majority of Australians. I feel very sorry for anyone who genuinely carries this type of hypocritical, sanctimonious pride in their minds and hearts; they're truly missing out.
You went to the wrong city if you want a real feel for Australia man. I love Melbourne but it is so different to the rest of this nanny state
Too many are gun happy
No one seems to like America until there in trouble then all we hear is why isn't America doing something we the American people are tired of the world trying to distroy it's self and expecting the US to save them
For context - Melbourne is generally considered the most politically left-leaning city in Australia. It would be interesting to see responses to the same questions from other parts of Australia (e.g. Qld). Also, it would also be interesting to hear where non-Australians would rather live. Cheers.
The American interviewer apparently lives in Melbourne, or somewhere near it. Queensland is over a thousand miles away from Victoria. I don't think he has the time and means to interview passersby in the other states. He speaks for himself, nor does he have the obligation to find passersby favorable to a certain view or another, he is not part of a program that seeks to obtain the opinion of Australians in every single state, or to elicit reactions favorable to some views and not others. He simply interviewed people in the area he is located in.
@@asiatmpo1 Yes - I understand the potential limitations of the interviewer. But it's also important that viewers understand the context - i.e. that the spectrum of opinions expressed in the video is not necessarily representative of all "AUSTRALIANS" (as the title might suggests).
@@billwinsor2816 All the title says is "Asking Australians what they really think of America". It doesn't say asking ALL Australians what they really think of America. You are inferring that, it certainly isn't in the title. The American interviewer, did not claim to speak for everyone, for the US, for Australians, or anyone else for that matter. He simply interviewed in a random fashion (as far as I can tell) people on the street. He doesn't need anyone's help in parsing, explaining or placing in context (for whom?), the content of his video. As far as one can tell, he is not the political organ of any specific party, political movement, or view, etc nor does he represent himself as such. So why would he need to place context to the content of his video? He did not set out as far as you or I can know, to "set anyone straight" on how people should view the US. If he were to make a similar video "Asking Japanese what they really think of America" why would he need to place it in context. He may or may not know the political views of the people he interviews, all he can do is post what their response was. Why should we expect anything different?
@@asiatmpo1 I don't understand why you are so triggered. As an Australian myself, I just wanted to clarify that the views expressed were not necessarily representative across Australian society. I'm sorry if you found that offensive.
American McDonalds: “Hi welcome to McDonalds, my name is Joe, may I please take your order?”
Australian McDonalds: “Ay mate, whaddaya want?”
Wooooooowwwwiiieeeeeeeee, that went downhill towards the end. I’ve heard Australia harbors a lot of racism, but…damn!
North America or South America ?
Lets go aussies like this if ur aussie..
I "like" how everyone says we swear every 2nd to 3rd word but nobody points out how many times we use the word "LIKE" OMFG STFU xD
Australian slangs and sayings are based on low effort English. So having low vocabulary shouldn't be a surprise.
Septic tank = Sepo"s
Septic Tank=Yank
"Stuck up silverspoon motherfuckers" hahaha
I’m betting Australians are wishing they wouldn’t have given up there guns now. Lol
Most Australians have never owned guns, and there's plenty of legal gun owners in Australia. What do guns have to do with anything?
@@pauljarvis446 you seriously asking that question!? Lol when the people are armed then the government don’t dare to pull dumb ass shit like this. Imagine what the US government would do if the people were disarmed.
@Reflection bullshit.
Freedom is the best thing, in the English speaking countries...
Old lady that doesn't like the Wall: You put asylum seekers on islands.
Christmas Island! Sounds wonderful.
Why would you want to live anywhere else other than Australia we got absolutely everything
Oh man I kind of vibed with that old man until he started talking in a racist manner.
Perhaps I missed it but I didn't hear anything racist from the older white haired man?
They still can't beat us in a war 🇺🇲🤣😂
Nah not the food it’s all cheesy in America 💀💀😂 they love cheese
The only cheese I dont hate is Mozzarella
We were served a slab of cheese with apple pie! WTF?
Wow, I guess these Australians watch a lot of CNN.
Most Aussies have never heard of CNN. On the other hand there's CNNNN.
most of the world watches liberal networks, and don't get me wrong those conservative networks have it wrong too. Didn't Disney just buy Fox News?? *Yikes!!* They are all liars, but yes I do agree that CNN is at the very bottom.
@@mikeyhau Gotta love that Chaser Non-stop News!
I don't know how bad CNN is, but Fox News was controlled by an Australian until recently if that suggests anything.
@@stuartwittick7110 Murdoch was born here but he is no longer an Australian, he renounced his citizenship decades ago; yet he still pretty much controls our elections.
I’ve found out aussies don’t know much about America.
Yeap I think leftest Aussies who just believe everything they listen to on the news don’t have a clue. Only a small % of us Aussies really know
@@Mendalay Their ancestors came from Spain and Europe
Because few of us give a fuck! Take a good hard look at yourselves!
but you can bet they know more than americans know about Aus.
I’ve found out Americans don’t even know where America is.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fuck yea this made me proud
