- Australians on the street voice their thoughts on New Zealand and New Zealanders, and also attempt accents.
Comment with ideas/themes/questions for future videos and I will most probably do it! :)
P.S. If you're from New Zealand, don't take this too seriously! We love you guys, but can't help some friendly teasing.

What Australians think of NZ = what Americans think of Canada. I’m Canadian - I feel for you NZ!!
Roberta Bee not really. Australia beats you all! Nice try though lol
Roberta Bee the difference is that Australia is better than New Zealand which is the opposite of America and Canada
i swear all of you need to stop picking on your little brothers. this is your father talking. A Brit
Koba we are not all Brits though btw
@@mattwakefield4147 we once owned you all
“It’s too far away”
Me: “ 😐 we are literally just across the ditch”
Yeah but you can't chunnel or ferry there
Hahahaha
I am an Australian and all I have to say is, if New Zealand is too far away the. Where have you been, like literally, the supermarket is probably too far for him.
@@pigeongotdecaf3116 Well he is fat sooooooooooo
Perth is further away from Sydney than NZ is.
I'm from new Zealand and this is triggering XD
Get over it lol, us kiwis are resilient than that
FUSH AND CHUPS
why lol..who cares what anyone says about which country you're from
FUSH AND CHUPS
Yup
"Worst part about nz is the people are too nice, too happy, too content"
Yep, can confirm life like this is depressing
w.. what? why??
@@hansantonio110 it was sarcasm lol
Fr I hate being this optimistic and content
😅😅😅😅
The sibling rivalry between us and Aussie is hilarious, I love it.
It not rivalry it haterid
“Kiwis, fanta and sheep”
I mean, he’s not lying 😂
I think he means L&P 🤣
@@RedRage1 honestly both could be used. We love your fanta
@@punkrockgirl.mp3Okay, I didn't even know it was different
Aussies and kangaroos a love story❤️
Im from NZ, have lived in Aus before and loved it over there! But the main difference is we kiwis have bigger decks 😄
My deck is the talk of the town.
I keep my deck clean. Lol
Hahahaha! Nice one!
my deck is starting to fall apart what do you suggest I use, also deck sealant isn't working
@@bob837 maybe see a dr about that
He said he doesn’t like us because of rugby is it because we are better
I would say so.
Rugby is gay
Fuck u
Skukz_Sth_Akl Book that is true but it’s a shame no one cares about rugby
no we don't like nz cause you guys always talk shit about aus but also need to rely on aus for everything
We don't say "fush n chups"
No, we say "fəsh n chəps"
Can confirm
IPA 😄
@Gilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette What other way can you laugh? 🤦♀️
HOW DARE THEY THINK WE SAY " FUSH 'N CHUPS!!!!"
I don't know where Australia gets 'fush and chups' from, I've never heard anyone say it that way and I live in nz. I think their way of saying it sounds like 'feesh and cheeps'
Thats exactly how aussies say it
Yeah that's how Aussies say it....feesh and cheeps... Seeeedneee 😆
@Marino Oh heck yes! We'd have fish & chips most Friday nights as a treat in front of the TV, the only time we didn't eat at the table 😁
Yeah, fish and chips is our families go to if lunch isn't ready on time 😊
@@adele8955 Yes, I've had fish and chips in Aussie.. yuk! 😆
As a New zealander I laughed when they said fish and chips.
Lol
I’m a kiwi and like fosh and chooopss
We say fish and chips like
Yea same
Why? That’s how you sound.
Fush un Chups Bro Fush n Chups! We love you Kiwis btw!
I’m from New Zealand and all I hear is ‘Sheep’
Dior Punitia, hmm I wonder why that is 🤔
same
“Whoever heard of an aspirational New Zealander?!” Ahahaha!
Edmund Hillary and err... 🤔
SpankyMonkey Bruh. John Britten, Sir Edmund Hillary, Bruce McLaren, Jim Henderson, Sir Ernest Rutherford, Sir Peter Jackson, Burt Munroe. There’s a few
So many people
To get Australian permanent residence so they can get benefits.. that’s the only aspiration.
Coz we don't talk, we do like Edmund or Charlie
This was amusing.
What I learnt:
1. Apparently we're known mostly for sheep
2. Did I mention sheep?
3. I need to start saying 'Fish and Chups'
0:18
That's because you're stealing our pav!!!!
Allegedly 🤷♂️
Correct
My name is Jet also they get mad af when we beat them at rugby😂
Welcome To Nah not allegedly they stole it and it was proven
Objection!
Also, do Australians know that saying “feesh and cheeps” is just as bad as “fush and chups”?
Kula Cnt either that or “fesh and cheps”, which again is just as bad.
nope we have no idea and still don't
@Kula Cnt It's quite a normal way of saying it the further north you go.
@Kula Cnt I was born there and spent 32 years there. A lot of people can't hear it because they are so used to the accent it doesn't sound like an accent. Feesh n cheeps is as Aussie as fush n chups is kiwi.
@Kula Cnt Call it BS all you like, scroll through the comments, you'll similar comments time and time again.
“Who ever heard of an aspirational New Zealander?” Bruh. John Britten, Sir Edmund Hillary, Bruce McLaren, Jim Henderson, Sir Ernest Rutherford, Sir Peter Jackson, Burt Munroe. There’s a few.
Yeah that guy's trolling you bro.
That guy was actually pretty funny.
Think you missed his dry humour mate.
Ged Farnan your hairline is pretty funny
Honestly yeah that comment was particularly ignorant. Funny thing is a lot of the people they probably consider to be aspirational Australians turn out to be New Zealanders. The list is too big to say here.
@@gl3nnium I think you are missing the obvious tongue-in-cheek intent behind that man's comment.
Lighten up and look at the bright side would be my 2 cents' worth.
We dont say fash and chaps we say fish and chips
I thought it was fush and chups?
Welcome To you thought wrong🤣
@@WelcomeTo it's fish and chips
It's fəsh n chəps
FUSH AND CHUPS
I'm dying at the "fush and chups" bit 😭
It's like every Australian purposely blocks there nose before they talk to get that nazley accent.
😂 Haha don’t reveal our secret! 😜
You guys sound nasally aswell lol it's just harder to hear due to mumbling
@Cletus Johnson exactly when ever you hear a clear kiwi they sound just as nasally as us, next they will try and say they don't use random inflections at the end of sentences
Shazza from Housos 😂
*nasally.
"Their too friendly"
Oh I'm sorry,
SHEEP ATTACK!!
I'm a kiwi and I'll be moving to Australia in 2 weeks time. I can say that I'm going to miss so many things about our country, everything about it feels like home and yeah,, I am scared to move to aussie!! I'm gonna miss Aoteāroa so bad.
Good luck! 😊 Must be an incredibly hard time to move to Australia 🙁
Aussie an kiwi banter is honestly the best 😂
It's not banter I hate Aussies
It's literally the worst banter ever
We tend to forget that we have more sheep here in Australia, way more lol
We’re just a tad bigger.
@@lynw1623 Australia has more sheep than any other country in the world bar China. More than India, Brazil, the US, Russia
Ahh but we have less people
@@lynw1623 But the majority of your land is useless desert.
@@philipjackson5818 and your point is ?
Host: What do you think of NZ?
Aussies: Sheep.
Your channel is so so underrated bro. Great videos. Keep it up
New Zealand is like Australia’s little brother. We love em, but that dont stop us kicken em round. We tease them and poke fun, but at the end of the day we fkn love our lil bro
"Whoever heard of an aspirational New Zealander". hahaha. As Graham Hart who owns most of Australia has a chuckle.
I love how everyone took the interview as an opportunity to roast our cousins over the ditch 😂❤️
Australian: To many earthquakes for me
Aucklanders:
I’m an Aussie by birth and two years ago I moved from Australia to New Zealand. They are not that different actually, but I really miss the kookaburras waking me up in the morning 😞
I'm here on the sunhine cost QLD, and I'm being woken up by a butcher bird thats mimicking the Mr Whippy ice cream van jingle ( green sleeves ).
Go meet a Kea then lol
We dont say fush and chups its fish and chips
Fush 'n' chups bro!
Lol are you able to fly over to new zealand to interviwe people and ask the same questions about what new zealanders think of australians?
The number 1 thing I'd miss about Australia if I was in NZ are vowels.
I agree, people tease us for it but honestly, we don't even say it that much 😅
@KANGARUDE The most common comment would probably be that fact that your trying to steal our pav 😝
0:14 You're from Alice Springs... everywhere else is cold!
that's one of the ridiculously hot places lmao imagine.
I'm glad people have thoughts like that about us kiwi's
no one mentions Kiwiland's Pacific culture. It's such a distinctive feature of life in NZ. So different to Australia's 40-60 000 year old indigenous culture, which isn't identified with anywhere else in the world. No mention of the Treaty of Waitangi, or the haka, or Once Were Warriors for that matter. The NZ and Australian landmasses are completely different too. NZ has its earthquakes and geothermal stuff, where Oz is so old it's just about seismically extinct. That's one of the reasons why we like to visit each other's countries - we're so different, but not foreign to each other. And all that gets mentioned is sheep (Australia has lots of those too) and 'fush and bloody chups'
Australia and New Zealand are dissimilar and yet oddly homogeneous.. I suspect that should one be threatened by a third party, the two would be a united and fearsome for as long as it took to see the third party off, then go back to taking the piss! I love both.
A 3rd party like Turkey?
That's about it we take the juice out of each other but what the hey.
Australia would run away and hide
Keep doing what your doing, you’ll get right where you are? Hilarious that can be done standing still!
The first bro said godd at rugby🙌🏾good looks brother😎
Wow these people are funny and awesome these people are so kind thanks
‘Fosh n Chips’ ‘Fashion Chips’
"The people"
Me: literally gets gang bashed after school
I'm sure that was a gang of Aussies.
Wow thanks Australians we will always support you . 🇳🇿🤝🇦🇺
1:12 😆 this guy‘s classic Aussie
I love both countries and the people of both countries. There are differences - Australia has many of the coolest animals on the planet whereas a bat is the only indigenous mammal of New Zealand, but NZ has no snakes or other critters that want to hurt you, unlike Australia with its spiders, salties, jellyfish and 12 of the 10 most deadly snakes in the world. Out of the sixty or so countries I have visited during my lifetime, NZ and Aus are numbers one and two on my list. To be honest I love them both in equal measure, and I'm a Pommy.
Wow sixty countries, that’s incredible! You make some great points, though I’m not sure that we have 12 out of the 10 most deadly snakes (maybe 10 out of the 12 though 😜) Thanks for the comment! 😊
@@WelcomeTo I spent three whole days at a wildlife reserve on Phillip Island last November in the company of red and grey kangaroos, one of nature's most wonderful creatures. I couldn't do that anywhere else but Australia. My biggest regret is not visiting these two wonderful countries before the twilight of my life. I think I was put off Australia because of the snakes, but when I was there I didn't see one! And Melbourne, (I didn't manage to get to Sydney so I can't comment) is hands down the nicest city I have ever visited. I could live there tomorrow. Best of luck with your website; I have subscribed.
Phillip Island sounds fantastic, definitely going to add that to my list of places to visit. Oh and thank you so much!! 😁
I live in NZ. It's pretty much like AUS but smaller.
That kiwi accent sounds like your trying to talk south african
Well dreamwake7, South African is not a language. Perhaps you were trying to say that they sound South African or whatever.
@@kaylenjohnson1351 no shit
All you need to know about New Zealand is that Lord Of The Rings was shot there.
yes
the Aussies are cool people lovely country it's my experience..... I work well with them
I live in new Zealand I've been all over the country and I've only seen a couple sheep
Love it as a kiwi love it we love you aussies
I love Australians! I had a wonderful time in Australia!! Xoxoxoxo ❤❤❤
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
I love being a New Zealander and watching these things. It makes me feel proud of some of the things we have. Most the earthquakes are in the Wellington region cause that's where all the fault lines are, so if you don't fancy them, there's always Auckland, Palmy (NZ slang for Palmerston North), and Christchruch.
EDIT: Before anyone replies, fault lines are natural.
man im from chch well the outskirts/north canterbury and the earthquakes we had were horrible
0:21 "They don't really like us Australians"
No, that is very false. I'm from Australia, and when I visited New Zealand I was welcomed well, when I said that I was from Australia they said that it was cool and I had nice conversations with Kiwi's. I was respected very well and I respected them well. Trust me, its like how the US and Canada is cool with each other.
1:30 "Just too many earthquakes for me" Well, think you would rather live in Australia to avoid natural disasters? Well, more people in Australia have died from bush fires then earthquakes in New Zealand. And they are very rare anyways.
They’re nice to your face, but what they say behind your back is very different.
2:39: did he say “you guys are alright” or “we got your back” 😳😳
Im Australian went to NZ once and got harassed by a English man lol
😂😂😂
In Orstraya they say feeesh 'in cheeeps, and they have a neat little harbour bridge in Seeedneee.
Gixxernz1 and they “but” at the end of everything
@@kpb7888 that’s only a Queensland thing. Most Aussies don’t put the word “but” at the end of their sentence.
0.16 its cold in the south island but no really fuckin cold, where i live in the middle of nowhere it went from 47 celcius down to 5 over night , the hottest recorded temp was a couple years over 42 degrees
Wooow that was awesome 😝
It’s funny, I’m from Oz and lived in NZ for 5 years. They really are the little bro. Ozzy shit is in the news nightly over there. We literally here nothing about Kiwis in our news. Also everyone has friends or family who live in Australia.
Lol probably because kiwis at home aren't worried about what the heck is going on elsewhere, we get fed shite from oz, merica, uk dont mean that we sit and watch it lol.
@@walkingkc3527 delete your comments, you look like you’re talking to yourself!
Oh my gosh im a kiwi and yes your accents attempts lol do we really pronounce it fush 😂
Reminds me of the video ”what swedish people think of finland”. I can sense so many australians looking down to new zealanders. I don’t really like that attitude 🤷♀️ I loved NZ and the nature there is amazing, I don’t understand how australians can’t see the beauty in that
Hilarious 😂 I love it

@@anotherchannel9928 lmao true they have the worst pies
New Zealand is like the Canada of Oceania and Australia is like the USA of Oceania. Here's why:
1. New Zealand has official languages, so does Canada, whereas Australia has no official language neither does the USA.
2. New Zealanders do a good job doing Australian accents, whereas Australians are terrible at imitating the New Zealand accent.
3. New Zealanders are known to be nice people, whereas Australians are known to be loud and sometimes obnoxious.
English is the official language of Australia.
Na we're pretty loud and obnoxious too when we want to be lmao
Not all kiwis are nice though. I've encountered some in the comment section of this video who can be pretty brutal.
@@MustraOrdo yeah same goes with any community anywhere in the world
@@MustraOrdo I didn't say that Kiwis are all nice, I was saying that some people think that all Kiwis are nice.

Yea lol
Best thing about New Zealand...
Gorgeous Maori women, friendly welcoming people, beautiful scenery the country is great
NZ people are NOT friendly nor welcoming. they are just polite
I did not expect them to say some nice comments I'm from New Zealand
im an american and i heard during the vietnam war aussies and kiwis came to fight with us. both were great soldiers but newzealanders they said were extremely viscous fighters.

Smaller little brother, that's cute lol
music?
To that guy and any others who think that New Zealanders don't like Australians: Bruh, we love Australians. We literally died on battlefields for and with you guys, and we wouldn't think twice about doing so again, no matter how much it might look like we're making friends with China or how much we talk behind your back about your unbelievably public levels of racism. We see Australians as our born and bred _family,_ literally from the same cloth in more ways than just a shared colonial heritage, which is why it cuts us so deep when you guys do things like reneg on the Trans-Tasman agreement or when you dump your criminals over here like they were born in just any other country. Everyone always says we're like brothers, but it's probably more accurate to say that Australia is New Zealand's abusive husband and we're the battered wife that keeps apologising for you, giving you all the rights and privileges of a Kiwi including unlimited welfare support and student loans for tertiary education at domestic rates, yet in return you repeatedly spit in our face and won't even offer a bare minimum of support to any of us while transitioning between productive jobs that immensely benefit _your_ economy.
We tell ourselves that the way you treat us is only fair because the opportunities are greater in Australia, so Kiwis are ultimately getting at least as much as they're giving, but that ignores how much Australia is getting when we fill your short-staffed jobs, pay taxes which contribute to services we don't even receive, and otherwise help to keep your economy running smoothly without forcing you to resort to people from other countries who you don't like because of their skin colour, language barriers, or terror risks. It ignores all the firefighters we send to help contain your bushfires, even though we know that half the problem is of your own making. And it ignores all the other ways in which New Zealand is always the first country to put up its hand and help Australia with any issue they face, self-made or otherwise. We've even offered to help you avoid UN condemnation and relocate the mistreated refugees that you refuse to accept in repudiation of the UN's refugee quotas; we compromise our own principles for you and _abet_ you in your racist elitism, because even after all the abuse you give us, our highest principle is still to look after and support our Aussie family across the Tasman.
So no, don't you or any other Australians think for one second that New Zealanders don't like Australians. Our bond is forged in blood, sweat, and now fire, and not even all the money in China could hope to break it. But if ever you find yourself thinking that perhaps New Zealanders don't like Australians, then let me just be clear: the reality is that we don't like _you._ If you're the kind of self-absorbed pretentious git who would ever question whether or not New Zealanders even like Australians, then you're exactly the kind of person whom nearly all Kiwis will find to be a cunt. A shit cunt, in fact. If, after all that we've been through together and all that we've done for you, you question whether we even like you, that's the final straw at which we call the women's shelter on your abuse. You're a shit cunt for saying it, and anyone's a shit cunt if they've ever thought it. New Zealanders don't just _like_ Australians, we _love_ Australians.
We New Zealanders see Australians as our family, with whom we may have ups and downs but whose back we'll always have without the slightest hesitation, and which we like to think we've proven more times than should ever be necessary. If we _are_ the little brother, we're the little brother that always rushes forward and shakes his fists when a crowd of bullies is eyeing up his big brother, even though the big brother is always telling him to piss off whenever they're at home or around the big brother's mates and all the little brother wants is for them to play together. But we know you don't love us in the same way, and we accept that, just like we accept how you always leave us at home to go and play with the cool older boys like the US, and also like we hope you'll come to accept that just because we've been spending some time with Uncle China, it doesn't mean we won't have your back if things get heated between the two of you, because you'll always mean more to us than China's lollies. Nothing will ever fundamentally change the closeness of our relationship, and we know you guys ultimately believe that too, which is why you left the provision in your constitution for us to join the federation even though it's clear at this point that we never will.
No matter how much Australia abuses us, Australia and New Zealand will always be family. We'll always be keen to trade jokes about who stole pavlova from who, whose accent is the shittest, or how some people are dirty cheaters at cricket, and we'll always take whatever mistreatment you decide to throw at us. At the end of the day, Australia really is our big brother rather than an abusive husband, and we know that without a shadow of a doubt. When international media tried to suggest that Australia was leaving New Zealand out in the cold to play with the big boys and their nuclear toys, Jacinda got up on a podium and made it very clear that she hadn't thought of it in those terms for a second, because like the rest of New Zealand, she knows that we're family and our big brother wouldn't hesitate to use his toys in our defence (ahem, from outside our waters) if the need ever arose. Where others see only insult, we instead see enduring fraternal love. Having said that, though, if any of you cunts ever disrespect our love like this guy did in the video, by callously suggesting or even behaving as though we might not actually like you, we'll turn your arse out faster than ScoMo can say "argh, boat people." And that's a promise.
that's a lot to read but from that first paragraph I could tell you were really trying to tell them the truth
Yeah.. you don’t. Many NZers in Australia are constantly bitching about how much the hate it here. They hate Aussies, the weather, their entitlements in Australia, the way they’re treated, complain about Aussies being lazy, dishonest, corrupt, arrogant, loud, dumb and criminals.
NZ not bad country, nice views, however too cold, too boring not much to do.
Love Kiwis and NZ, good fighters, tough spirit, good sportsmen, lord of the rings scenery and funny asf.
Whats the song name at the last?
Their attempt at our accent is very disappointing 😂 Omg. Lmao
it takes a New Zealander to lack the skills of speaking English
@@samschmidt7330 if that jerk your berk good on you humility is not an oz thing is it lol.
@@samschmidt7330 I love how you aussies have no clue you have an equally ridiculous accent
One of the things that annoys me about Australia is their attempt to make the term “Premier” mean something different from “Prime Minister”. Talk to any journalist, and they’ll tell you why that’s a bad idea.
There are other federations in the Commonwealth, like Malaysia and India (I was born and brought up in one of those). They use the term “Chief Minister” for the head of a state government; why can’t Australia do the same?
Australia-nz and USA-canada are similar!!
Yeah they are
Yeah they definitely are
Austria-Germany
Argentina-Chile
Since day one still stomping on the gronk
Reflections of Australia and New Zealand
I’ve lived in both nations. I generally find New Zealanders to be friendly and relaxed with a quiet demeanour. Their English pronunciation though , leaves one pondering the quality of language schooling they receive in New Zealand - ‘Lit’s hev six on Tekapuna beech’. Enchanted.
In comparison, I find the Australian ‘ocker’ far too brash and uncouth; to the point of being offensive - ‘Oi Oi Oi’. However, when education comes into play - Australians tend to improve a little with their comprehension of sentence structure; both verbal and written, being of a sufficient standard. However, throw two or three conjunctions in a sentence, and it's leg-before-wicket with the Australians’ lament - “cut the pommie suave".
Australians and New Zealanders imbue themselves in national pride when it comes to ‘pommie bashing’ - offensive mannerisms that are directed against new arrivals from England simply to create inconvenience thereby making settlement difficult. How unfriendly!
Origins of the petty-minded ‘pommie bashing’ are undoubtedly derived from Australia’s criminal history and in the case of New Zealand, from the Maoris’ resentment of white authority imposing settlement of white people upon their lands; undoubtedly without due courtesy.
Maori chiefs from the North Island were urged to sign; with some reluctance on their part, either the English version or Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi on the 6th February 1840. It becomes apparent that there are critical differences between the English and Maori versions - notably in (articles one and two) - the Treaty of Waitangi amounts to little more than a convenient debacle. Sadly, the Maori; a courageous, defiant proud people of warrior status, were cleverly duped of their sovereignty and given regulatory powers. Eternal and utter shame on the divisive, unscrupulous - pakehas .
To reinstate Maori sovereignty across New Zealand (dependent on prior agreement to initiate economic policy to uplift New Zealand) with regulatory powers granted to the pakehas - would initiate a major step towards conciliation. I often ponder how white kiwis now feel and react to the mass infiltration of Chinese people into New Zealand - making Auckland a mini Beijing - ‘ding-a-ling-a-ling’.
New Zealand is the better nation when one wants to settle as a law-abiding ‘good John Citizen’.
Too-da-loo pakehas.
That's a great observation! Are you a linguist by any chance?
Nah, the 'Pomie bashing' comes from the general condescending and arseholish nature of Brits. It's always been 'convict' this and 'colonial' that.
For example, when England first came here to play cricket, they were taking the piss. They thought it'd be funny to defeat 'those Australians'. Well England got absolutely smashed, and it's a tradition we still enjoy to this day.
The thing with Australians is that if we like someone, we will do anything for them, put our lives on the line even. However it pisses us off when people look down on us.
@@Josh_Stuchbery I reckon in the first test match ever played Australia had a guy hit 200 and never got out, he just got tired of smashing it, and ended up retiring himself
The thing about English pronunciation and comprehension in New Zealand is that it really depends on where you live. If you're more rural then you definitely sound like how you described, but most of the countries citizens are urban and city folk, meaning they have really good English skills. Saying all kiwis are like that is a big generalisation dude.
