new zealanders dont really care abt people being famous we just tend to let them live, like lorde lives in my neighbourhood and like no one really cares
Ummmm... What?
Yup so true haha
Like really?
Yeah dude we don’t hound people here we let them live their lives.
I think that is pretty much the same for locals everywhere. The only people who care are tourists and paparazi, since they aren't used to it or are trying to exploit it.
The classic kiwi reaction to anyone who is famous - “ I see you but I will pretend I don’t and will not acknowledge you” - but when I get home “guess who I saw today !!” lol
Or "that guy looks familiar, but I can't remember his name. Just smile and nod. Don't make contact. Oh God, he's coming over... Why is he acting like he knows me? Oh no..." Then you realise who it is, get nervous and fan-girl.
It's the same reaction for everyone in NZ, no matter if it's a celebrity or someone u went to school with
sounds like Berlin 😂
lmaoo me and my friend when we saw teeks and flight of the conchords, walked straight past then told the fam at dinner

Here in New Zealand health care is a ‘right’ and gun ownership is a ‘privilege’ in America gun ownership is a ‘right’ & health care a ‘privilege’.
Bit of a head scratcher
One should a be a right of every citizen another should be a right of every citizen until that citizen demonstrates they should not have that right.
@@kethanraman944 You could be right, but that sounds like hard work, so it's not surprising really that both Australia and NZ took a shortcut on the 2nd.
In most countries outside the US, only few people ever find gun ownership desirable in the first place.
Alright.. gonna have to go ice my burn..
@@kethanraman944 "another should be a right of every citizen until that citizen demonstrates they should not have that right". You just described what a privilege is.
Dude I was on the waterfront when they filmed this I was so confused what Stephen Colbert was doing here haha

trying to bolster a pathetic prime minister....her failure after failure have to be covered by some thing ,so what better than a has been us talk show host. that our media go all google eyed at...keeps the idiots occupied...ps it came at a pretty penny as well..hope that is declared on labours donation list

@Misty Meadows Yeah, no
@Misty Meadows , poor deluded baby.
@Misty Meadows - people like you have disgraced the America that people around the world once celebrated. Now - not so much.
@Misty Meadows We will take Steven no problem, as for you........yeah,nah.
“It’s Italian food”
The entire country of Italy just had a heart attack
How was World War 3 started? “Well, Lucy Lawless called canned spaghetti on white bread Italian food. It just kind of went down hill from there. Italy teamed up with France who were still upset about American French Fries and China who were upset at what people in the west did to Chinese food. America, New Zealand and Britain teamed up because they are all about bastardizing original cuisine. Switzerland stayed neutral as is tradition.”
gabiluch87 don’t take it literally
Yeah, canned spaghetti is best avoided!
@@Kallen Best comment on here. LOL!
I don't think canned spaghetti even exist in Italy.

Cringed at her the whole video

@@LincolnRon uhh careful my Friend xD to say that the USA has better bread than Germany is the kind of Statement that caused Wars in the Past ;o
Good Bread can be found in many places around the World, depending on your taste.....but even the cheapest german Bread is good compared to US-Bread ;)
My favorite part was when they were pedaling the croc vehicle and the woman was walking as fast as they were moving.
Damn, I wanted to write a similar comment. It looked really weird. Like if they were driving a car and someone would be walking nearby with the same speed.
They were on the waterfront: no cars👍🏽
First gear, walking speed. So they were sit walking...lol.
I liked that, and then I also enjoyed, like, the scene immediately afterwards that showed *another* croc cart cutting them off. The absurdity of the entire segment was...well, entirely whimsical, and probably netted NZ's GDP an extra hundred grand.
You don't take the Crocmobile if you're trying to get to work on time. That thing is a pleasure cruiser.
As an English person who grew up in London and then moved to Wellington the one thing that really struck me is how little Wellingtonians care about celebrities. I’ve seen half the All Blacks team and Taika Waititi on separate occasions just walk into busy bars and have a beer/some food and hardly anyone bats an eyelid. My favourite story was when some friends of mine were at a restaurant in town and Jacina Ardern showed up with her husband but they got turned away because they were fully booked. They took it on the chin and went somewhere else. Famous people don’t expect/get any special treatment and regular Wellingtonians aren’t bothered by them. In London it’s all screaming and swarming for selfies and whatever but over here it’s just yep you’re another person
That happens around my way with the UK royals. The local shopkeeper told the then Prince Charles that he was out of stock of the local newspaper. When the prince's protection officer pointed at a copy behind the counter. The shopkeeper said it had someone's name on it, which the prince accepted happily, and left without it.
I used to watch this video a fair bit throughout 2021 while I was waiting and hoping for NZ borders to reopen so I could move to NZ, something I'd wanted to do for years. I arrived in NZ on a one-way flight four weeks ago and just remembered how much of a boost the Newest Zealander videos used to give me. So, now I'm watching this video for the first time from my new Kiwi home and just so grateful it's finally been possible 😭😭 I love you, Aotearoa, and all your beautiful people ❤️ 💕
Stephen: how do you say yes?
Bret: *yis*

Me too & he drank a beer without having to immediately take a toilet break 👍😉
He may be did
He maybe did what?
“Are you proud of your country here?”
“Oh yeah, Love it, Love it.”
“I miss that feeling.”
Lol 😂😆
It’s so funny seeing him in literally the places I’m at almost everyday!
Frank Blackcrow Hahahaha. Not so much the pub, but right on the water front.
it`s a beautiful Place , You Are a Lucky Guy.
Loving the star-wars heavy pub.
Bruh when they didn't clean the table after themselves my vision went a little red. Kiwi's are not like that
In the US the people who work for celebrities do that, they call them gofers, you know go fer this go fer that
Yes, me too.
The only unrealistic thing about this is that they didnt sing the Te Reo version of the national anthem first.
wouldn't have worked with "God of Haitians"
with how he sang the English version I think that's a good thing XD. (poor guy our accent is so hard to understand).
Right
nobody sings the maori words, because nobody understands them. duh. it's like latin - redundant.
Yee
Fake news, Kiwi's would never leave a public outdoor table dirty.
Don't worry the seagulls will have made short work of the left overs
yeah hardout, I cringed a lil bit at that.

“Are you proud of your country?”
“Yeah.”
“Huh. I miss that feeling”
Lmao
I spent a month in New Zealand, it is the most beautiful country I've ever visited, its amazing
I spent 62 years in New Zealand and four years elsewhere (35 countries) including two in the USA and you're right!
No
Stephen's reaction when he hears Sweet As is priceless.
Study in New Zealand : Free Information and Advice it sounds like sweet ass to us. Like you bet your sweet ass
Yeah 😂..my aunt crutches her pearls when she went there. She thought ppl were talking about her rump.
@@BlueSky-oe4fn OMG clutches or "crutches"? Hmm cultural differences are larger than I thought. Maybe they were talking about her fanny...
Sweet as mate
@@Anonnnnomus have been on both islands?
Taika Waititi should’ve been in New Zealand while Stephen was around
To true but he has been on Stephens show.
He's hilarious.
I too thought that. It would've been great
Oh yeah..just what we need another Powhiri for a War Mongering 5 Eyes Propagandist and Influencer..he could give Clinton another 25 Mill of our Homeless Housing Money..and The Mi6 White Helmets..that no Syrian real Refugee from an ISIS held territory had ever seen or heard of another 20 mill of our homeless housing build money
I was there 2 weeks before him, went to the north and south
"You know who they are, and this is your reaction?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 kiwis just tryna get through their day mate!! Hahahah
I’m a kiwi and can’t imagine why USA doesn’t have public health care.
I was thinking of starting a dollar a day charity that would help fund medical bills for the poor in the US.
They waste taxpayers money on wars instead for education and healthcare .
It's crazy to think they don't have health care, in Australia its free also, same with alot of European countries, I don't understand why America is left in the dark ages with it's health care.
@@kellyk.8519 because they are ignorant due to lacking education, and vote for idiots , and think socialism is communism.

@@olaolech5438 same here and i'm from canada
Yeah, me too. I'm British and I live in the USA.
Yes, I know.
Nonchalantly dropping the bomb “When I was younger, I needed the money”
I died and came back to life
I did too! I don't think they got the stripper reference 😂😂
The amount of time it took for the audience to get the joke was surprising. But once they got it, the laughter just intensified like a roar increasing in volume. I love jokes like that, and hearing the delayed reaction.
Lucy’s reaction was the best part.
@@coffeemachtspass Lol, and her face after he said the two fingers were what Cosmo said was the best way to please a man. Priceless.
I thought "tosser" and "wanker" were universal greetings amongst Britain and its former colonies. The fact that you didn't bleep them out blew my mind.
The American equivalent terms are "Jerkoff" or "Jagoff."
Those aren't considered rude to Americans.
@jasontodd9 Just goes to show that America is truly the only country who really changed
My son and his wife moved to NZ last month - they're loving it. It's great to see some of their new country!
"Did you have sausage sizzle?" "Well, when I was younger I needed the money." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
So that's how he's got the job at CBS ;)
guibox3 z
as a kiwi that joke went over my head at first because to raise money in NZ as a youngster you do have a sausage sizzle, kind of like kids in the US might sell cookies or "candy"
@@0Vegeta0 Yes me too. Took me a while, lol!
"Look out, redhead!" -Xena 2019
Loled a little too much at that
It was rude.

@Tom Jones...yeah redheads suffer a lot especially at school. Ironic as many women dye theirhair red as it's pretty.
@@SliceofKris Not sure if the kiwi's use ranga. Aussies definitely do. (I'm an Aussie, not a ranga).

More like Lucy FLAWLESS
I have been living in NZ for a couple of years now, and I can assure you, pies and the good old sausage roll are a lot more popular than whatever they had there haha.
Yeah, those were more what we eat at home, or grew up with, rather than what you buy from a shop.
Can't beat a hot dog/sausage outside the warehouse tho
I love seeing foreigners of New Zealand be like "what the hell is wrong with the world? This place is amazing!"
This is probably the best thing Stephen’s done. He should do it more often.
Well there is around 190 countries to visit still where he hasn't been on TV, I'm sure some catch his attention.
he comes off as a second rate Conan. He should have ditched the suit the whole time.
no, I think this is more Conan thing. Stephen is best at monologue and Conan is best at improvisations.
He did a Russia trip a few years back that was pretty good, this is better though :)
jo no Yeah and call it “Colbert Without Borders”
Currently writing Stephens version of the national anthem down, Will now and forever sing 'God evades New Zealand'.
Looking at the state of some super religious countries I'm kinda glad he does.
Considering we are a highly secular country, I like that better than 'God defend New Zealand'.
Blame the fact we were colonised by the British.
Personally I think it would have been more amusing if they'd gone for the Maori version. I always find it funny listening to USAicans trying to pronounce polynesian words. It's usually the "ng" sound that trips them up. Or the rolled Rs.
@@Cbyneorne we're trying ok! If I hadn't learned that Wh = F I would have sounded like a real idiot when I visited NZ...
Lol that was the best part.
Visited NZ 3 months from Dec. 2018 until March 2019 and stayed 6 days in Welly (exactly Miramar) and I LOVED IT. So cool and inspiring. I want to send Stephen a „Good on ya!“
I am STILL in love with Lucy Lawless... Ten years after her program she still is stunning. I just love hearing her talk... Especially about what her mother taught her
I can't press like enough. I forget how much we are like Kiwis and what we owe to them til I see this: Australia sees, salutes and raises you one, bro.
chur bro! much appreciated
sigh.. Oz has changed too much in recent years though. Really enjoyed my time in NZ. Its like Oz used to be and should never have left behind.
As an Aussie this made me want to emigrate to NZ
As an Aussie I can easily say our country is shit, has been for a while and is turning into a mini America. If I could afford to move to NZ I'd be out of this country right now. So salute to all the Kiwis out there.
Imagine if we combined our two nations collective sports prowess. No one would beat us at anything ever again.
A young, cool and effective Prime Minister, Universal Healthcare, celebrities are treated like normal people and not royalty, people seem active, engaged and happy. We in the US could learn a thing or two from the Kiwis.
Jeff Abbott we have a few downsides, life is $$ cos we’re so far away, flights are $$ cos we’re so far away too. But yeah, nah, most kiwis love their country We often see USA like a holiday destination, for a visit but not as lifestyle. One thing I love about Americans is how patriotic they are everywhere, I dint agree with a lot of stuff in USA but you gotta love ppl who are proud to be where they’re from!
To understand a little more, study a bit on Maori & its slow resurgence back into our identity as a country, then you will get it. Have a look at your American Ambassador on the AM show reading the sports news, which will bring you a smile. He has got a come on over attitude just like us. Have a look 😀

The first time I went to the US I found the lack of walking so strange. It made sense, it was just bizarre to see.

I'm loving that bar, with all the Star Wars memorabilia up on the wall. Usually it's wall to wall sports. That's my kind of bar.
Describing a sausage sizzle as an opportunity is such subtle comedic genius! Lucy Lawless is hella funny throughout this video, in sneaky ways here and there :"D
Lucy Lawless beautiful as ever. I have such a crush on her during the whole Xena era.

6:46 really paints a picture... like a Jackson Pollock! Gaaaaad this guy's got quick wit.
I'm watching all of these starting with Jacinda on his show, bloody hilarious! 😁
New Zealand is my homeland and my heart.
You are truly blessed
@Iain Herridge very homesick!
I hope to visit your beautiful country one day.
Greetings from the Netherlands!
Me too. 💗
Wellington is my hometown and I can't BELIEVE that it wasn't windy!😂😂😂
@@flangekiwi same. From the Hutt Valley, but you can't beat Wellington on a good day!
I emigrated here in ‘78. Arrived in Auckland and had a four hour wait for the connecting flight to Wellington. I remember the only food available at AKL International airport (just a shed, in those days) was either a meat pie swimming in something they called liquor or a tinned spaghetti sandwich. Nearly caught the first ‘plane back out! Boy, am I glad I didn’t.
Proud to be a Kiwi, now, and the food is some of the best.
Back in the good old days when unions had a deathgrip on the construction industry and it was difficult to engage in even moderate scale projects without massive cost overruns and continual delays.
I started coming in '84 - and the food was pretty good then, but it's become outstanding. I was in AKL last XMas (had never seen pohutakawas in bloom) and the restaurant food - even in small places - was outstanding. I think it comes down to the food supply, which is quite good. Market eggs, for instance, are almost always fresh enough to make a successful eggs benedict.
You should be proud.
And, yeah, I miss that, too...
What a totally delightful episode!
9:46: Year 2 me trying to sing the national anthem during Monday morning assembly
"CBS will let us do all of this, right?"
Yeah, no.
Yeah?
Cheers!
Opus 313 yea nah that’s the saying here in New Zealand
It's "yeah, nah".. I just couldn't let that go by sorry! ;)
... no
"It's italian food" Lucy you floor me
I wish taika was also here and gave Stephen an epic tour 👏
New Zealand is my home country. I miss Wellington 🥺🥺
Totally makes up for the frustration when the show's off air. At least we know Stephen's filming TV gold!
Great, I'm just going to record Lucy Lawless saying: ''Tosser'' & ''Wanker'' and use the recordings on people who piss me off. This is fantastic. :D
She was fucking hilarious. I’m Australian (not too proud of it at the moment but never mind about that...) and right now I’m as sick as a dog. Every time she said something I cracked up and started coughing my head off. I kept thinking, “I can’t keep watching this because I’ll just keep coughing” but I couldn’t stop. Hopefully laughter will make me better but right now it really hurts!
Awwww my beautiful city Wellington - love you
