"why do they say Melbourne like Melbun?"
why do Americans say Kansas like Kansas but say Arkansas like Arkansaw
America explain
Exactly
Man, are you yanks gonna explain this or what?
As an aussie I say "Melbourne" as "Melbin" like who tf calls it "Melboornnnn"? I get so irritated when ppl say "Melboornnn"
I AM CONFUSION !!!!
I was going to comment this but you said it for me.
The only reason I clicked on this was to get aggravated by the world.
And I'm not disappointed
Lol aint that the truth
Same
😂😂😂😂
my wishes going out to everyone who is affected by the bushfires in australia, stay safe xx
Jacinta Candiloro 960,000 hectares atm
@@cassandralawson5399 indeed i know
I live near one actually. We are safe Coz we don't have much trees around our house, or anything like that.
But the smoke is a constant reminder. It's really awful.
I'm praying it rains soon🙏🙏🙏
My wishes go out to them as well, i went through my clothes today to donate some to the Salvation Army
Hadassah
Well praying won’t do anything.
Should be titled " why do Americans think their way is the only way"..... 🙄😁
Yeees!!! 🙌
😂
bahahahahaha omg yeeeeeeeeeess
I have met several Australians who think Australia's way is the only way

Chicken salt is the best thing ever!
Just don't go to Queensland because they don't have chicken salt there when I asked for chicken salt people looked at me weird before asking me what it was
Little Shorty um actually i love in queensland and there is ALWAYS chicken salt so i don’t know what ur talking about like i don’t like chicken salt and i ask for none yet they still proceed to put some on
Jazzy_ P Same I don’t even have to ask they just *know*
onlyfortune bahahahahahahahahaha this made me LAUGH
I live in qld and we definitely do have chicken salt. I have to request for plain salt otherwise they will put chicken salt on
They were just like WhY Do ThEy SaY MeLbOuRnE lIkE mElBiN?
Well were they the ones that CAME UP WITH THE WORD?
Lily B the English were 🙊
Sarah Lola I mean the second settlers who became Australians named it Melbourne.
Cassandra Lawson There’s a place called Melbourne in Derbyshire, England
The city of Melbourne was actually named after Lord Melbourne- the English Prime Minister. He was a close friend of Queen Victoria, which makes sense as to why Melbourne is in the state of Victoria 😋
Sorry Lily it was named after Lord Melbourne. Originally Melbourne was called Bearbrass. Melbournian here and fuckya fro Melbin!!
why do americans pronounce shooting range as school?

As a fellow Aussie, I love pineapple and put it on my burger and pizza
I too as an aussie would put pineapple on anything, absolutely love it
Same omg its so good
Pineapple is a staple for me on a lot of food.
Pineapple burger? Each to his own i guess...
Sophie Carmody That is an abomination
i swear 99% of us watching this are aussies
the aafc is the best also stream live in leipzig Yep
Yes Aussie rules
the aafc is the best also stream live in leipzig FACTS
Lol no
Yes
Why do we can it melbin..? Well why do Americans skip half the letter in aluminium or mirror?! HUH?!
Mirror?
Wooow I never thought of that.
They dooo pronounce it super weird 🤔
To be fair, they actually spell aluminium as aluminum, hence the pronunciation
And herb as ‘erb. 🤦♀️ drives me mental. And pergola as pergulla. Mate.
Because Herb can be considered a derogatory term here so he drop the H when talking about 'erbs
@@chrisj2991 derogatory how? I’m confused sorry.
“If u put a bunch of letters in word, we will probably ignore half of them” 😂😂😂
for the magpie one:
why r americans scared of racoons?
Rabies...
Wolfmyth100 there you go
@@Wolfmyth100 America still has rabies?? There hasn't been a case in Australia for decades.
@@Alastair.S Canada still has rabies as well. I want to say that there are more cases there than the States.
That’s not a stereotype. I have never met someone that was scared raccoons.
2:17 is so accurate i do that all the time like you can’t walk out of kmart without buying anything
I always see native animals, I swear most of us Aussies has a possum living in their roof making creepy noises majority of the time and my dumb ass things it’s a ghost
Nope, we don't.
For some reason I've been calling jumping castles, 'jumpy castles' my whole life.
Horatioisacoolname still valid
Yesssss
I like it.
same
I thought jumpy was normal 😂
The title of this video should be "Why do Australians not do the American ways". Some of these questions are just dumb, like so what if we call bouncy castles jumping castles or slides slippery dips, or how we shorten words. If i was at the interview there, i would have said, " because we can" to every question😂
I call slides slides. I've never used the term slippery dip. I don't even k ow if I've ever heard slippery dip. I mean since we Australians like yo shortern everything it makes no sense to me why we would call a slide a slippery dip. It's too long and annoying to say.
@@TheOriginal_Unaleska It's satisfying saying slippery dip though, just rolls of ya tongue
“Junping Castles” gets straight to the point
Doesnt bouncy as wel?
Stayyyy! Nine or none we gonna cross the finish line. Plus, Aussie!
Melbourne is a place in Australia. We have a right to call it whatever the heck we want
i’m sorry but old mate that said aussies dont see that many animals like kangaroos. i legit see a kangaroo everyday
He should have specified THIS IS IN MAJOR CITIES legit in the CBD. Drive 40 mins out and there’s a koala
People who live in cities don’t really tho
It depends where u live
Sloth city slickers aren’t even real aussies anyway💀😳
it’s ellamay in Melbourne I mainly see possums instead
ok BUT WHO SAYS ‘MEL-BORN’ sorry but I-
ruelstea ikr it’s pronounced Melben
I boop ur nose it’s in between en and in tbh
The kid on react that maxim
I boop ur nose some parts of Australia say Melben and some say melbin, I think it’s a matter of slightly different accents depending on where in Australia you live
you're all adding one too many vowel sounds to it. Melbn.
I relate so much to these reactions/answers.
"have you tried chicken salt, its fricken' delicious."
Nice to known I am definitely Australian with other things
I immediately get disowned for saying I don't like football..
2:33 HAVE YOU BEEN SWOOPED? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT AMERICAA
I just wanted to scream...cos they kill people.
Crushing on the guy in the plaid button up
Saaaaame
"What do you do instead of drinking?" A fair point.
Is it just me or does bouncy castle sound weird?
But it's bouncy and it's a castle 😂😂
It does
Us Aussies are technically correct because you don't bounce on your arse on them. You jump with your feet. So to be correct, you would say a jumping castle
Don't jump and see how long that "bounce" works for you... Dipshits.
@@mad-geelong-supporter4389 Read my comment again, comprehend what you have just read and get back to me with two apologies. One for being an idiot and another for calling me American.
I love that the general answer is "why wouldn't you??" 😂
Why aren’t there any questions about kangaroos? People think we ride them to school
Tiana Pudney I only see like 2 a year
Angelic Madi whaaaattttt
Wait, you guys don’t?
🤣🤣
Could have picked funnier people to answer the questions. Also I can't believe the first lady kept saying bag and not call it a goon sack.
honestly a missed opportunity
I thought it was a goon bag
Why am I so triggered by these American questions😂
Y’all got No Jams I am to how do they know we go to K mart every day I know no one that’s goes there as a habbit
I know. They sound so judgemental and snobby. lol. I don’t think that was anyone’s intent though
All good buddy also America didn’t tell us how to speak (and other countries wondering y)
This makes me want to be Australian but I’m grand being Irish
Maeve McCann I’m both.
We have fucking good lives 😂
I'm part irish, actually. Honestly, if you wanna come over, as long as you pay your taxes, and don't break the law, I welcome you.
Tbh, tho, it's tough to get in Australia. Coz your Irish it might be easier tho
being aussie is the fucking best bro
I’m not lying but I put chicken salt on chicken. Please try it, it’s amazing legit.
Truuuuuue!
Ffs it's not shrimp its PRAWNS ... SHRIMPS are tiny little prawns in like ur fried rice PRAWNS ARE THE BIG KING, BANNAN AND THE OTHER ONES ... GET IT RIGHT GEEEZ
🙏👌👌👌
Why does everyone in America have a gun?
Omg I’m Australian and I find these questions hilarious 😂🇦🇺❤️
@Weston Camilleri Definitely not popular and i'm shy as hell
Not a "selective amount" of Australias like pineapple. statistically speaking Hawaiian pizza is most popular in Australia
Even funner fact.... Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada.
I am australian and I was like "we do this?
ruby 666 Same
“Why do Australians call slides ‘slippery dips’?”
Cause it’s slippery and it’s a dip!! Same reason we call weed whackers whipper snippers! Cause it whips and fuckin snips! Lmao
3:47 "why do Australians pronounce melbin as Melbin"
up the tiges
Haha true
I have always wanted to live in Australia and that is my plan it's just seems like there is such a laid-back life but also a busy life that you can make something out of
Dude we work to live not live to work like Yanks do. Least we get fair wages here.
@@lmaree200886 couldn't have said it better myself mate😂😂😂😂
buying a house in sydney is so damn expensive rn
The Magpies are out to kill during Spring 😂😂😂
It's not shrimp ffs, it's prawn.
PuT a ShRiMp On ThE bArBiE
Oh crap now im imagining a prawn on a barbie doll's head...
there's a difference between shrimp and prawn
@@vvsne no there isn't. And even if there was, a lot of people describe prawn and shrimp interchangeably.
Buy a box of wine open the box boom YOU HAVE YOUR BAG OF WINE the bigger question is why do Canadians put their milk in bags only to end up putting the bag of milk into a jug
Its kinda redundant lol
“Aussies f*cking love Eurovision”
Amen brother- 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Shrimp on the Barbie was an advert Qantas did with Paul Hogan doing the advert for the US market. They don't say shrimp over here, it's prawns. Same as UK
Not with QANTAS, it was an ad campaign made through the Australian Tourism Commission. It was played for 6 years (1984-1990) and Yanks still think we talk and act like that!
@@lmaree200886 thanks for correcting me! My Aussie friends got it wrong lol
@@TheJetJock I'm an 86 baby, grew up with Mr Hogan on TV a lot. My mother put up with a lot of tourists being annoying and quoting that ad to her as she worked all over Sydney during those 6 years. She was in hospitality, bartender, waitress, manager. Loads of drunken tourists, I heard a lot of stories lol.
@@lmaree200886 I'm a Brit living here in Oz, and was corrected very quickly at our first bbq in QLD lol
@@TheJetJock I'm sure you were, its a pet hate of Aussies :)
Okay I’m Australian.. wtf is a slippery dip 😂
That's the older term for a slide at a playground
Wait I just thought every said jumping castle
“ why do Australians hate magpies?”
Me: “ don’t ask an Aussie that question!”
Also me: “ magpies are evil!!!!!!! Run away, cover your eyes!!”
LJ Kean Magpies are vicious territorial fks.
I love magpies......their night song is one of the most beautiful sounds on the planet......
The wine in bags are called casks, no we don't put chicken salt on everything just hot chips...we shorten everything because it's eas...
3:48 she legit said “why do Australians pronounce MELBIN as MELBIN” 😂😂😂
BRUB the fact that I’m somewhat Australian is hilarious
😂😂 so good
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi oi oi !
Kmart is a cheap department store with almost everything that exists. Books, cards, clothes, make up, toys, dvds, cds, a keyboard, paint/stationary, every notebook and binder under the sun. ..should I continue?
I forgot furniture(& decor), dammit
The one thing it's known for hynotising everyone into buying and I forget it
You forgot cheap kitchen goods like utensils, dinnerware, kitchen appliances like pie makers, kettles, toasters, slow cookers etc. Also cheap clothing, kids toys, lollies/candy, and general knick nacks.
@@lmaree200886 Uh, read my comment again. I was gonna say "damn, I did!" to the kitchen stuff but then you added stuff I already put.
@@ginathecookie You have not added kitchen stuff and so what if I repeated a few items?
Bali let me answer that one. I live in Perth , for us it's cheaper to go to Bali than Sydney.
Theres Roos everywhere, we where driving to a dam at one point and you could go 100m without swerving to avoid at least two Roo carcasses
Sees thumbnail
Me: BECAUSE IT TASTES GOOD WITH EVERYTHING (on chips is the way too go)
Melbourne is our city so we can say it however we like
Ikr. So dumb.
It's like, why do Americans pronounce ontario how they do?
Well, why can't they? It's their country 🙄
Bali, it's cheap, it's close and we can do Australian style things (surfing,skateboarding,drinking,cafes, shopping, hiking, swimming) there without all the rules and red tape that we have at home. Where else can someone on modest income, walk out of their villa to the convince store, grab a couple of beers, walk down to the beach, go for surf, come home to a freshly cleaned place, then pump out some tunes to not a single complaint from neighbors. All for less then what you'd spend on a weeks rent at home.
Americans have wine in a bag too. Its called Franzia. You pull it out the box and "slap the bag"
I like how even though the title says the world everyone in the comments thinks its only Americans that think Australians are weird or have these questions.
Because that is how it is.
We can slides ‘slippery dips’ I mean...
We kinda fucking rule, no?! 🤣
I love magpies & have never had a problem with them.
"why do Australians hate magpies"
Well... Come to Australia in mid spring and you'll know why🙄
City people: you don’t see as many kangaroos as you think
Me: get fuuuckkkeedddddd come to grafton mate we’ll show you
I know someone who lives in the suburbs, (granted, backing onto a reserve) why found a kangaroo in their backyard.
Dude I lived in Western Sydney in Mount Druitt which is suburbia with some rural mixed in. The council land behind my house had dozens of kangaroos hopping around daily. I would see or hear them thumping around dawn and dusk. Problem is they even hop on the roads and get hit by cars. One night one was shot by the Police cause its injury was so bad :(
Hang on did he just say us aussies love Eurovision wtf
Oli Hunt yes, because it’s amazing 😃
Eurovision is great
Probably the same people who watch mafs :)
yes he did .ive never watched that crap🤣...id rather watch 2 roo's sloggin it out in the paddock ,while having a cold tinnie.. 👍
Wine in a bag = goon
Australian clothesline spins
Australian therefore hang goon bag on each corner of clothesline to play... wheel of fourgoon
Being an American studying abroad in Australia is so fun. Sad to leave in two weeks though....
I am Australian and I love magpies!!!!!!!
1 - I don't. It's gross.

3. We are insecure.
4. It's a sign of love.
5. Only bogans do. Afternoon is afternoon.

14. It's a crap myth from films I think.
15. Prawn* barbie means BBQ
16. You jump. You don't bounce.
17. Don't know.
Bro wtf is a shrimp no one says *shrimp* we say _prawn_ 😂
Everyone: *focus on Melbourne being mispronounced by Americans*
Brisbane: aM i A jOkE tO yOu?
I heard an American-born radio newsreader mispronounce **three** places on our local station, & I was like, ‘Christ- you couldn’t have given her the right pronunciation before the broadcast?!’
Americans: *some shrimp on the barbie*
It’s baabie mate.
Why do we put chicken salt on everything.
I’m pretty sure Americans don’t have chicken salt.
Vegemite.
Stereotype mate.
Mate,
Stereotypical.
Tbh Aussie Kmart is amazing, US Kmart sucks !
Us Aussie's are honestly geniuses
Uh no, you are savages. Utter idiots who wrestle crocodiles as an afternoon sport.
Taco Vendor wrestle crocodiles > shoot each other
@@demos1198 oi don't speak about our legend like that. crikey, mate.
@@cassandralawson5399 what the fuck you on about? An aussie came and shot up the mosque in nz...
@@demos1198 was that guy an aussie??? For reals?
Um America we say “melbin” BECAUSE THATS HOW YOU SAY IT!! You are saying it wrong
Huh
No❤️ we aren’t
Is this filmed in Melbourne? Qld ppl would answer those questions 100 times funnier and better
Wait does America not use chicken salt? That’s fucked
Nope its only in Aus
Australians don't drink that much anymore, it's too fucking expensive. They just do Ice instead.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I came home one day and a wallaby was next to my front yard lol
Btw wallaby are more common to be seen also they wont attck you.
With the kangaroo one it depends where you live. In the city I assume you won't see much wild life, in rural areas, they are everywhere.
Yes that's true magpies do swoop and it bloody hurts if it hits you especially on your ears
As a Australian I actually hate ice cream in ice coffee cause I want ice coffee actually cold so I always have to say on ice some places do have ice coffee on ice though but heaps do ice cream just wanted to say this
Friendlyjordies they survived
Chicken salt is so good!! Sad thing is tho, a lot of the time it have gluten in it, and my sister can’t have gluten, so growing up I rarely got to have chicken salt
Chicken salt on cold potato salad.........you can thank me later.
I’m Australian and half these things r like, just no.
I wish these people actually properly answered the questions. Australians say the c word because it means mate.
City slickers
Coconut
For that last question about Australians pronunciation or Melbourne 1. That just how it’s pronounced, lay of it and 2. We don’t pronounce it ‘melBIN’ we pronounce it ‘melBEN’ 😂
One of the questions I see a lot is ‘Why do australians call barbecue’s barbies?’
I'm an aussie and I have never heard anyone say jumping castle
Pineapple on everything- yes 😍
- Fellow Australian 😋
I mean we put ice cream into ice coffee as well and it’s better than ice just sayin🤷♀️😂
The answer to all questions is because we can lol also jumping castle because you jump in it and we aren't 4.....bouncy....Jesus. 😂😂😂😂😂
We actually only put chicken salt on chips
Hi half Aussie half not ima answer these tooo just for fun:
1. Because Goon.
2.because there’s no animals in the city

4. Because cunt.
5. Afternoon.

15. We eat sausage sizzle, and we eat prawns.
16. Idk

I am Australian and I love magpies people just hurt them so they attack them
If like our black birds. ..They have great memories and teach their young that humans are the enrmy.
I’m an Italian in Australia and I really hope to never see pineapple on pizza 😂
My advice is to ever walk into a place that sells pizza. And youre missing out. Its so good.
Good luck with that XD
S J ?
But it's the beeest
It's like pickle on a burger. It give the pizza a hit of tang. It's amazing
I was soo mad after watching this as a fellow Australian
I would love to put ice cream in my iced coffee…thanks!!!
Walmart is to me, what K-mart is to you…LOVE IT!!!
My shoes are a bit to expensive to do a shoey! Never!!!
I love you all!!! USA 🇺🇸
we used to have Kmart here in the United States but they got kind of run-down they all went out of business I'm sure you can probably still find one or two somewhere Walmart pretty much put them out of business it's the same thing just bigger and then they put in grocery stores in the Walmart so now you can buy everything in their car tires close a pet groceries LOL
I'm surprised nobody brought up the bad side of Bali
