When I went to Beijing one year for an internship I met a bunch of Australians and Kiwis. Seriously the funniest people in the group. Their humor is strangely accessible for an American. Dry and witty like the brits, but goofy and lowbrow enough for a pleb like me.
that's the beauty of being Australian, we can take the jokes as well as we dish them out. Its never ending between us and the kiwis, but its all good. we both appreciate a good roasting.
I'm having fun reading all these comments about a supposed dislike between New Zealand. I'm Australian and there's an inherent kinsmanship between Australians and New Zealanders. We're definitely rivals when it comes to sports and stuff, but it's all in good fun.
It's like a sibling rivalry. We'll slag each other of but if any other nationalities mouth off about Kiwis it's a let's get the bastard situation for me.
ps I'm aussie and I love Flight of the Conchords. They used to come over to Australia and do the Comedy Festival circuit. This is funny cause it's good payback for Aussies making fun of NZ accents. Australians can appreciate a good comeback when they see one.

Cellar door - check out the aussie singing comedy trio called Tripod - I think they are in a similar genre to FTOC - have a listen to 'gonna make you happy' and 'sweet Caroline' among many great songs
bahahahaha this is so amazing. "did she sound australian? australian accent?" - "yes. yes." - "what did it sound like?" - "kind of like an evil version of our accent." XD
Aussies and Kiwis have a grudging respect for each other. The ANZAC bond runs deep, don't worry about that. I'm an Aussie that's lived there too. Same sense of humour and I was really surprised and pleased the hospitality we had in NZ. Funny as shit, Kiwis. Lot's of banter but all good.
I happen to be very proud of all my Kiwi mates and our ANZAC alliance. One of the most moving times of my life has been the combined ANZAC memorial service's at my workplace on the mines and the reading of The Ode' in Te Reo Maori. We can take the piss on everything but just remember...You pick on one, and you pick on two....The Kiwi and the Emu.
I love the bit where Germaine wakes up in the Aussie chicks room and looks around at a men at work poster the Koala then the camera quickly zooms back from above showing him under an Aus flag Blanket shocking him.
im a halfcast maori/white nz-er by blood but ive lived in aussie since i was about six. so im a austrealander, best of both worlds. i have a mixed accent and i love it.
Murray is just priceless! heard this from a comedian: The Aussie accent is very similar to the Kiwi accent. The only difference is, with the Kiwi accent you smell like sheep.
Missed out the bit where murray mentions to jemaine that he'll spend the rest of his life searching for the perfect wave. Always cracks me up that episode. Always had an affinity with kiwis cause they take the piss out of aussies like us "poms"
I love kiwi Aussie banter. I feel we take the piss out of each other, but as soon as someone thats, not Kiwi makes fun of Australians I get really defensive.
Alan Dale, who plays the Australian ambassador, is actually from New Zealand. THE IRONY!!! (Also, according to Wikipedia, he is married to a former Miss Australia. Not a Miss New Zealand.)
🔹️ As a Danish/ Scottish/German born Australian (born in Melbourne in 1965) who has been to Aotearoa numerous times (more than two dozen times), I can vouch for the validity, veracity & accuracy of this clip ✔👀👍❗🔹️
As a kiwi, this is my mentality. Between us and Aussies, we may shit on each other all the time but when someone else comes into the picture like an American or a Brit.. We tend to easily band together against them lol. So we're like really hard core "Frenemies" :)
As an Aussie do you mean the Cape Town one where they sound like they're singing or the Japie one where they sound hungry but angry they're too fat to get to the kitchen?
I think I speak for many Australians when I say that as much as we friendly-hate each other, New Zealanders would be the first people by our side if we needed it.
and im speaking from a nz perspective and its the same here all we have is a sports thing and i like that u guys give us shit and we give u shit sometimes its how it is. We dont hate u guys its just brothers who fight! its cool much love bro.
Aussies now say "yeah" at the end of a sentence, to show we agree with ourselves. I think it is to replace the usual upward inflection that implies uncertainty. It is a step towards actual confidence.
Alan Dale! Betrayal! You're a Kiwi not an Aussie!!! haha. BTW World - please note that not all kiwis/aussies are haters. Most of us are cool with each other and love the banter - ignore the serious haters who comment on these things and clearly can't just have a bloody laugh. It's embarrassing seeing those sorts of comments uggggh

As a Canadian I never knew of a NZ and Aus rivalry. The back and forth shots at each other are classic!

If anyone's going to take the piss out of us Aussies, New Zealanders are the best. This is gold.

Your the younger sibling.

The funny thing is that Alan Dale (who plays the guy Murray complains to) is a New Zealand actor.
He also played Jim in Neighbours in the 1980s

Haha Love the Kiwi vs Aussie banter.
This show was great and is therefore Australian now, just like everything good from New Zealand :D
And Russell Crowe, Crowded House and Pavlova. What's New Zealand brought to the cultural table aside from these two blokes and a Dave Dobbins song?
***** You're correct.
What's wrong with Hamish and Andy, they're amazing

Brett’s hair bike helmet is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
'Oim moving back to Wollongong...'
'Aw, that's terrible...'
'She's not from Wollongong...'
'Shh, listen...'
'... She's from Woolamaloo...'
theyre both legit towns
Lmao
It’s actually spelled woolloomooloo.
It's true, us Aussies are like the evil version of kiwis lmao
"I suppose if you squint your ears" lmfao just ruthless. 😂
"I'm going to go to the dunny, gotta murder a brown snake ya know."
awesome lol
I love it when my wife puts on a broad Aussie accent and says "Get in that bedroom and root me again".
I love the bit where Germaine wakes up in the Aussie chicks room and looks around at a men at work poster the Koala then the camera quickly zooms back from above showing him under an Aus flag Blanket shocking him.

Flight of the Conchords was a great show. Very funny
3:26 - every Australian has had one of these tea-towels at one point in their life
Wollongong? She's from Woolloomooloo..
Being Australia's Canada isn't that bad. It's better than being Australia's Mexico (Indonesia).
Being strayas Mexico lol being Americas straya is as low as it gets!
haha what?
ouch hahaha
how is mexico like indonesia??
Well but it is worse in australia, they really dont care of whats consider politically correct :))
I can totally relate to the Kiwis. Also, I love Kiwi humour.
I'd totally go for a Keitha. Good show, Jemaine.
When are you transitioning then?
Murray is just priceless!
heard this from a comedian: The Aussie accent is very similar to the Kiwi accent. The only difference is, with the Kiwi accent you smell like sheep.
So original.
@1:37 might just be one of my favorite fotc moments. Those hand movements! Sublime

Poor New Zealand. I grew up in Canada and can relate.
As an American, I love both accents. As a viewer of great characters, I LOVE Murray! Spoof of West Side Story is great.
Cheers Aussies, keep the banter coming and we can reciprocate. Kudos from NZ
Greg dancing is amazing
It's remarkably similar to English and Welsh done on the other side of the world. Even the sheep jokes
I love kiwi Aussie banter. I feel we take the piss out of each other, but as soon as someone thats, not Kiwi makes fun of Australians I get really defensive.
do Australians feel love?
are they capable of love?
do they even know what we're speaking of?

Gabriel Brennan Meaning there are degrees of evilness with the South Africans at the top.
I don't think they sound that much alike...
All just poor imitations of British accents, only not evil sounding enough.
Hahah was working through Wellington the other day, and Jermaine was casually pushing his son down the street in a pram
Stay cool bret… stay cool Murray…
Just binge watched the whole two series, so fuckin funny, so glad I kno the meaning behind these songs and jokes now
She's not from Woolongong she's from Woolamaloo!!! LOL!! i am from NSW.

You're right, Alan Dale is a new zealander, and he's playing the aussie embassador.
LOL! Murray waits til they out of hearing range to call them idiots

'who's this murray your wife?'
'no.. his wife left him' LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
These are actually quite understated compared to actual Aussies
I found that visiting Oz..they said .'yeah'..and the Kiwis said 'ay'..for no aparant reason..That's a good sign of the difference..;-0)
'Ay' is never said alone.. it's always 'Ay bro?'
