xPimpChickenGaming x Honestly I never get Dominos. If I want cheap, fast-food pizza that’s relatively palatable, I get Pizza Hut, but a lot of those options sound pretty good. I’m always partial to chicken and Camembert when it’s an option.
One thing I didn't remember when I was talking about Australian native placental mammals, but actually encountered one a few weeks after this was filmed. We have a native species of water rat called the Rakali or (Hydromys chrysogaster). I saw one swimming around under St. Kilda Pier.
Fun fact: a little while back Golden Gaytime icecream was released in like regular icecream-style tubs as a sort of anniversary thing of its original release, I think? It's vanilla and honeycomb icecream with biscuit chunks and it was glorious.
We have a Bubble-o-Bill equivalent in the States too. In a never-ending cavalcade of various mascots and cartoon characters. Except it's usually their eyes that are gum.
Thats one thing I noticed when I was over in the US. The pizzas were just boring. Huge sizes, but nothing interesting for toppings. (and yes I tried some smaller mom and pop stores too). I mean this is the list of topping from the last pizza I brought in Brisbane. Wagyu Beef with a Wild Mushroom medley and Green Capsicum on a Hoisin & Tomato Base, garnished with Shōga & Chilli, topped with a Japanese inspired dressing. Was bloody nice too.
Genuine Italian places in New York and the like don't go for 'crazy toppings', they find that insulting. They go for fresh, amazing ingredients and make the dough the star of the dish - which is the entire point of the pizza, the dough, if you ask the people who invented the damn thing.
To be fair, using papyrus for a place named after the platypus is fitting as A. The two words are so similar B. Platypuses are basically the papyrus of the animal world
I basically just stick to my Meatlovers. But as a general rule our pizzas are made by someone sitting at a table and going "Hmmm, what does this savory pizza need to be complete. A-HAH! More savory!"
those pizzas sound amazing! my hometown in california had a local place that offered a 'shrimp lovers' pizza, which was essentially shrimp scampi in pizza form and is great. until now, i thought they were the only ones to offer shrimp as a topping. clearly i should look into this australia place..
Bubble O' Bill is available stateside as well, and I can confirm, like most face-and-gum pops, it's pretty bad. Chocolate, caramel, strawberry, and bubblegum; four fine flavors on their own, that do not make for a good time when combined.
"If you love it, you don't know much about typography. And if you hate it, you *really* don't know much about typography either and you should get another hobby." - Vincent Connare, re: Comic Sans, the specific-role font he created Papyrus-hate is just legit; damn font confuses Canadians between school-indoctrinated handwriting and artificially-created documents... (q.v.)
And now I want a Hawaiian pizza. Also the Bubble-o-Bill sounds pretty good but that just might be cause I haven't had a popsicle with gumballs for 20 years when they stopped selling them where I live.
Whenever I see footage from a right-hand-drive car, I think the driver is incredibly powerless. Not because they're on the other side of the car, mind you, but because oh my god, the driver doesn't have a steering wheel or any controls whatsoever, they're all gonna to die! After living my whole life with the driver in the front right seat, my mind just can't get around the fact they may be elsewhere.
Okay, just to clarify for Matt & Matthew: the term "right-hand drive" means the driving position is on the RIGHT side of the car; i.e. the steering wheel and controls are on the right side. (so vehicles for use in UK, Australia, NZ, Japan, etc.) Right-hand drive vehicles are typically operated on the *left* side of the road (see parenthetical examples previously). Cars in Australia are right-hand drive, but cars in the US, Canada, Mexico, mainland Europe, etc. are *left*-hand drive (and operated on the right side of the road)
I did not know about anglerfish mating.. I regret finding out. Gaytimes are the best, although i'll put a word in for the splice, that was a refreshing icecream. Also, its a new thing from dominos but butter chicken pizza? literally the best thing.
I once bought a pizza for Adam Savidan who was on a 24-hour stream, and he asked for Hawaiian Pizza. It must be a LRR thing or at least a Sidewalk Slam thing to ask for the Hawaiian Pizza.
Oh man, I remember those Ice blocks, I couldn't remember what they were called here in New Zealand but I knew it wasn't Golden Gaytime. Luckily Google helped me out, I was a bit worried what would come up when I googled that but they are called Cookie Crumbles here. Paddle Pops were the jam tho, Bubble-o-Bill's are lame. Did that Potoroo have a Tommy Gun and a Pinstripe suit?
So from what I'm gathering form the comment section here, where I see a beautiful exotic ibis, Australians see a horrible garbage creature. Truly, we are each others' backwards siblings.
I have no clue what you were calling the face icecream but I had many of those growing up and you eat that bubble gum first... Sometimes it crumbles like old baseball card gum sometimes it's all fresh and you just swallow it still... Stomach acid is pretty strong right? You just poop outbwhat doesn't digest?
'You do weird pizzas, Australia. I like that about you.' Beat. 'I want the most basic-as-heck pizza with pineapple on it.' Do you really like us, Graham. Do you.
Actually "Hawaiian" pizza is a Canadian creation, so it's not surprising that he'd default to that when tired, a tiny bit sunburned (and make suffering from a smidgen of heat exhaustion?) To be fair, if you're thinking 'Hawaiian style cuisine' with regards to pizza toppings, you're not going to go with banana peppers and spicy sausage. (I mean, yes, 'ham' is kinda lacklustre in relation to the pork products you'd get at a luau, but again, *available* among pizza toppings - "you go to war with the army you HAVE, not the army you WANT")
Thavleifrim I remember Domino's being just god awful when I was growing up, and they've definitely upped their game since then. I'd choose Domino's over Pizza Hut now, which is something my 15 year old self would fight me over.
We had and have bubble o bills in the USA and i really liked them but there are no golden gaytimes. Honeycomb ice cream sounds awesome, are they sold under a different name here?
Domino's here has something of a reputation for... just weird pizzas. Every few months they'll make up something new and bizarre, and try to get customers based solely on the novelty. Every so often one sticks around and becomes part of the permanent menu, but those are few and far between. Do a Google Image search for "Domino's meat pie pIzza" some time.
Not just where you are; I think someone in the exec HQ has to justify their corner office by constantly coming up with new ideas...and sometimes they really scrape the bottom of the barrel. Oh, and that 'chicken carbonara' pizza? You *can* get it in Canadian Domino's restaurants - I'm kinda glad G&K don't eat there much; it speaks well for their 'taste' in pizza. (Domino's is a nice default 'I just want something simple to jam in my pie hole that someone else will make for me and bring to me' for those days when you're just about wiped out even before supper but even out here in 'Middle-Of-Oblivion, Canada' we've got a surprising variety of quality pizza restaurants.)
I grew up in Massachusetts and we have have gumball nosed ice cream faces too, but ours was sherbets instead of vanilla chocolate and a clown instead of a cowboy. Also sometimes ninja turtles with gumball eyes.
Are our pizzas weird or are your pizzas boring? You certainly can't fault the variety. I'm curious how it compares to Dominoes in North America which I hear is not great but here it seems decent. I've heard our Maccas is better but it's definitely still trash.
Funny thing is... you can get pulled been and bacon at NA Domino's (no "e" for some reason). Domino's is defiantly "fast food" pizza, but it's alright. The selection isn't terrible. Sounds to me like it's mostly Canadian pizza that's boring ;)
Ah. Okay. Here, we have Little Caesars to fill the McDonald's slot, where Dominos is just about on par with Pizza Hut. The drivers are still dumb as rocks, though. I live in a secure building with a call box... I've seen rats figure out buttons more easily (also, I used to work at a pizza place, so yeah).
Nice to see a fellow nerdfamily. So what you say is the wright age to teach your kids magic? What do you do when your children want to play YuGiOh instead?
I like that you went to the trouble to lean how to pronounce Melbourne right but then get Aussie wrong. Don't really hear foreigners go for that one very often so I guess there isn't much groundswell on, "Actually it's pronounced Ozzy."

Punk Rock Zoologist so what pizza would you of recommended
xPimpChickenGaming x Honestly I never get Dominos. If I want cheap, fast-food pizza that’s relatively palatable, I get Pizza Hut, but a lot of those options sound pretty good. I’m always partial to chicken and Camembert when it’s an option.
Punk Rock Zoologist I asked because a lot of those aren't super common here but sounded good
We have pretty similar pizzas in Iceland, Australia sounds pretty normal. Although shrimp sounds rather weird, but not too strange.
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening to your explanation of the Golden Gaytime because Penelope was in the shot and adorable with the ice cream.
One thing I didn't remember when I was talking about Australian native placental mammals, but actually encountered one a few weeks after this was filmed. We have a native species of water rat called the Rakali or (Hydromys chrysogaster). I saw one swimming around under St. Kilda Pier.
I would watch a nature show hosted by Graham where he just points out how weird animals are.
+sanityisrelative “Look at this! What is this? Isn’t this *stupid*? I love it.”
I'm glad you had Nick / Punkrock Zooologist on this one - even as an Aussie I learned some new things. Thanks Nick for all the info
Farley flavors You're welcome. I always love just chatting about cool animal stuff.
Damn Bin chicken! leave her banana alone!
wiggstarn lmaoooo
I have never heard an Ibis called a "bin chicken" before. xD
Bin Chicken, also known by its csientific name, Garbagus Fowlia
"Please explain what a golden gaytime is. In this context."
An old ice cream
Fun fact: a little while back Golden Gaytime icecream was released in like regular icecream-style tubs as a sort of anniversary thing of its original release, I think? It's vanilla and honeycomb icecream with biscuit chunks and it was glorious.
Oh my god, the look on Nick's face when he had to consider if male anglerfish feel themselves being entesticled was priceless xD
Golden Gaytime vs Bubble-o-Bill vs Paddle Pops. The pre-console equivalent of the Xbox vs Playstation vs Nintendo debate.
i liked both as a kid
Paddle Pop master race
But rainbow paddle pop, or banana?
Bubble-o-bill is for scrubs. Paddle Pop or Golden Gaytime or riot.
We have a Bubble-o-Bill equivalent in the States too. In a never-ending cavalcade of various mascots and cartoon characters. Except it's usually their eyes that are gum.
Watching Penelope's face go from "oh eff that's cold" to "...but delicious" is kinda precious.
Thats one thing I noticed when I was over in the US. The pizzas were just boring. Huge sizes, but nothing interesting for toppings. (and yes I tried some smaller mom and pop stores too). I mean this is the list of topping from the last pizza I brought in Brisbane. Wagyu Beef with a Wild Mushroom medley and Green Capsicum on a Hoisin & Tomato Base, garnished with Shōga & Chilli, topped with a Japanese inspired dressing. Was bloody nice too.
If you ever find yourself in Columbus, OH, try the "Late Night Slice". Here in the US, it's mostly the franchises that are boring.
Not gonna lie, that sounds fantastic. The wildest we usually go is anchovies.
When in the US, California Pizza Kitchen is your commercialized source for "weird" pizzas.
Genuine Italian places in New York and the like don't go for 'crazy toppings', they find that insulting. They go for fresh, amazing ingredients and make the dough the star of the dish - which is the entire point of the pizza, the dough, if you ask the people who invented the damn thing.
@@brandonrichard9568 shut up and go back to italy you pretentious piece of salami
Was just in France. It was difficult to find a pizza that DIDN'T have an egg on it.
Hawaiian pizza's were invented in Canada and have the highest consumption rate in Australia.
This was true in 1999, but I don't think it has been true since.
So this is why I’ve been avoiding Dominoes... if it’s not pepperoni don’t do it haha
To be fair, using papyrus for a place named after the platypus is fitting as
A. The two words are so similar
B. Platypuses are basically the papyrus of the animal world
You take that back.
Hah! Look at Penelope calculating how she's going to get a hold of that ice cream. Adorable.
Hope you liked the nocturnal house and the Bird show Graham, they're two of my favourite things to see at Healesville!
Zuper Dooper and Sunyboys were my childhood schoolyard divides
omg yes
Sunyboys are TRASH Zuper Doopers for life!
@@blakewayyy Shut up you fan boy, you know Sunyboys are supreme
11:20 "Almost didn't get out of the zoo"
But G, what if Australia is the REAL zoo?
DUN dun DUNNNNN
Poor Penelope, the infamous Bin Chicken strikes again.
Ah, emus. Truly the noblest and most majestic and dignified of creatures.
I basically just stick to my Meatlovers. But as a general rule our pizzas are made by someone sitting at a table and going "Hmmm, what does this savory pizza need to be complete. A-HAH! More savory!"
Beetroot also goes on burgers, and it is delicious.
0:30 Look, it's that guy. Oh shit waddup.
I love 14:05 where one of Graham's thoughts just completely overrides what he was previously saying. :-D
those pizzas sound amazing!
my hometown in california had a local place that offered a 'shrimp lovers' pizza, which was essentially shrimp scampi in pizza form and is great. until now, i thought they were the only ones to offer shrimp as a topping.
clearly i should look into this australia place..
Bubble O' Bill is available stateside as well, and I can confirm, like most face-and-gum pops, it's pretty bad. Chocolate, caramel, strawberry, and bubblegum; four fine flavors on their own, that do not make for a good time when combined.

Jesus, Australian Dominoes sounds fucking amazing.
It is amazing how things are so different in Australia.
golden gaytimes are the shit
It'll never stop weirdeing me out how much parts of Australia look like the bay area.
Penelope: GIB ICREAM!
Bubblo Bill sounds exactly the same as a ice cream we have here in the UK. Although I think it is a Teddy Bear face on the one here.
And now I want a Hawaiian pizza. Also the Bubble-o-Bill sounds pretty good but that just might be cause I haven't had a popsicle with gumballs for 20 years when they stopped selling them where I live.
Nic is the best guide and a really cool guy. I need to catch up with him again sometime.
merdehappens Thanks :). You going to PAX Aus?
Yes. But not for the full weekend due to having exams shortly after.
Fair enough. Hope the exams go well. We should probably try to organise another LRR fan meetup thing like last year.
I didn't even know there was a thing last year, but yes.
Oh Rad. I'm enforcing too.

Angel X I'm so sorry. We were all very tired.
Punk Rock Zoologist I'll forgive you... this time! :P
In fairness, we have donair pizzas at Dominoes in Canada. That's pretty weird too. Good, but weird.
I was waiting for the papyrus jibe, and there is it is… :)
First shot - HEY YARRA VALLEY! i know that road! bet they are going to healsville sancturary :)
Was that a POW from the Emu War?

Harry you take that back bubble o bills are a national treasure
Mate, Jelly Tips are a national treasure.
This video made me curious for a Golden Gaytime.
"We're getting pizza"
*please order an Aussie, please order an Aussie, please order an Aussie*
I do have to say chicken and camembert is a great pizza topping, if they have cranberries to
So from what I'm gathering form the comment section here, where I see a beautiful exotic ibis, Australians see a horrible garbage creature.
Truly, we are each others' backwards siblings.
sounds like something an ibis would say
Please tell me you got a prawn pizza; that sounds wonderful.
I have no clue what you were calling the face icecream but I had many of those growing up and you eat that bubble gum first... Sometimes it crumbles like old baseball card gum sometimes it's all fresh and you just swallow it still... Stomach acid is pretty strong right? You just poop outbwhat doesn't digest?
Lol, at 9:08 the woman in the background waves at the camera. It seemed the group over there were chatting about being filmed incidentally.
As for ice creams I tend to go for Magnum, kinda pricey but goooooood
Don't know if you have those in Canada
We do!
Topolinos pizza was right near Dominos.
Hell yeah

They call them "Traditional Pizzas" but really it's like "Here are the second-cheapest pizzas"
Egg on Pizza is DELICIOUS
Will you be going to pax Australia in 2018
I would try every pizza on that menu (that didn't have mushrooms). Holy shit, that sounds amazing.
House of Shadow Dont worry, its still dominos its still not very good.
Thavleifrim I remember Domino's being just god awful when I was growing up, and they've definitely upped their game since then. I'd choose Domino's over Pizza Hut now, which is something my 15 year old self would fight me over.
Gerald ardoin because I fucking hate mushrooms. Texture, not taste.
Dominos is not the worst choice you could have made if you want pizza.
bubble O bill for life
We had and have bubble o bills in the USA and i really liked them but there are no golden gaytimes. Honeycomb ice cream sounds awesome, are they sold under a different name here?
This is what happens if you incorrectly use papyrus. Lol

Was there egg on your Hawaiian pizza? Because that was A Thing when I was in Korea decades ago.
4:50 i didn't know bird of prey is an actual term, i thought he was joking about klingons flying there...
It's hard to have a gay time on your own!
4:19 Death becomes the bird!
It's not Honeycomb Icecream, its buttermilk/toffee. Dammit.

SnowyGamester I've heard that in Australia target and Walmart are switched, quality-wise, from America.
Honestly, I got pretty into ordering DNos cheese pizza for a while there because sometimes the meat just didn't jive with me.
Bad bin chicken! Bad!
What part of Australia are you in Graham
G, you gotta remember the mic.
Alas! I'm late. But while I'm here, how long have y'all been watching LRR?
uh...let me see...
*checks calendar*
Oh, about eleven or so years, now...
Fellow swedes please weigh in, the Golden Gaytime is basically an 88:an?
egg on pizza is awsome!
I don't have very many international cousines.
Graham always seems slightly dissappointed in Australian food stuffs
I think they needed to ask twitter for advice on every meal as well as the beers, need that local knowledge.
That's not the case. Just the beers. We're quite adventurous, food-wise. And the Gaytime was delicious, I was just EXHAUSTED.
Relative to North America Australian isn't adventurous just a little different. It's like the uncanny valley effect, for food.
Relative to North America Australian isn't adventurous just a little different. It's like the uncanny valley effect, for food.
Cute little kid
I’ve been there
For weird pizzas, you need to go to Sweden.
Hiver for The banana pizza, am I right?
Yeah, just Google "swedish volcano pizza" or Nutella pizza. Or pizza with chicken, banana, peanuts & curry. It goes on...
Those all sound amazing.
I love how you've got like nearly 2 mins of the vlog dedicated to Dominoes pizza. Hope you get paid for that mad ad :P
Was expecting more ice cream debate in the comments, but it seems everyone just wants to talk pizza.
Btw, carbonara pizza is the best
the bin chicken tried to get banana
Nice to see a fellow nerdfamily. So what you say is the wright age to teach your kids magic? What do you do when your children want to play YuGiOh instead?
I like that you went to the trouble to lean how to pronounce Melbourne right but then get Aussie wrong. Don't really hear foreigners go for that one very often so I guess there isn't much groundswell on, "Actually it's pronounced Ozzy."
5:06 KUNG FU EAGLE! :D
UP THE GOLDEN GAYTIME!!! :D
Oh man Penelope is getting so big now, she's got to be like two years now right?
Avelmen1889 this was last year
She is currently just about two. She was just shy of 1 during these GVlogs, being born during DB9 and all.
In these vlogs, she's only 11 months old, if you can believe. She's almost two now, yes.
Bubble-O-Bill is superior in every way. Including price.
heyy13 HEATHEN!!!
As revealing as the pizza segment was on its own, what was going on with Graham's asymmetrical sunburn?
probably because he was holding a camera in front of part of his face for much of the day?
Pineapple on pizza confirmed
Poutine Pizza could be a thing in Canada right?
Nah, that-
...
oh god, it probably IS. I should go look but I'm kinda afraid to...
