"Galah" is a pretty pink and grey Oz parrot but also used as slang for "idiot".
might be pretty, but they are galahs in how they behave
@@mehere8038 I love galahs ( of the feathered variety).
@@cjlloyd53 me too :) I actually see both varieties more as clowns than idiots because of this :)
@@mehere8038 Another good descriptor.
Alf Stewart from Home & Away uses it all the time 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting fact, coight is an old Australian slang for arsehole, or butthole in your lingo, and he certainly is that, besides being hilariously funny.
Not many know this, and we have used it to good effect
I worked with a guy that used to be a demolitions tech, he was asked to move a boulder from a creek one time, he thought it would shatter and he could move the smaller bits, nope the boulder stayed in one piece, went flying in the air about 50m and back to basically the same spot, he said it was cool to see but not the best outcome.
😂😂😂😂
That would've been SO cool 👍😎 but yeah, counter productive 😂
2:50 “that was the thickest Australian accent I’ve ever heard” haha no Ryan that’s not an Australian accent! that’s a British accent! And She even said “near Manchester” which is in the UK.
I don't think you know what sarcasm is!
@@Smoshy16 Clearly you don't.
There's over 30 towns called Manchester on this planet. USA has at least 5 or 6 of these. Jamaica has some too, but it seems most places do. So Australia could have one of those as well.
Update they do. It's a county. And a chain of shops selling bedlinnen.
@@ebbhead20 Firstly, when someone says "Manchester", everyone knows they're talking about England unless they specify some other place (like if someone says "London' - there are a lot of 'London's in the world, but if you say you're from London without adding a country, people will always assume England). Second, the woman had a strong Manc accent - listen to any Mancunian talk and you'll immediately connect the dots.
Also, "Manchester House' (the linen store), was named that because it sells linen, which in Australia is also called 'manchester', due to the fact that all Australian linen was originally made in and imported from Manchester, England.
Just for your information. Coits is a game where little circular rope Donuts are thrown at a peg in the ground. We say that the little rope circles look like a butt hole. We refer to butt holes as "coits ". That's why Russell Coit is funny to Aussies.
Quoits: A game in which players toss rings at a stake, called the hob. A ring that encircles the hob scores two points for the thrower; a ring closer to the hob than an opponent’s scores one. The rings are usually made of iron and weigh about three pounds, but rope or rubber rings are also used. It has been said that the game was played in Roman-occupied Britain (1st-5th century), or it may have been developed in medieval Britain, perhaps when peasants heated and bent horseshoes into rings and tossed them at iron pegs driven into the ground.
@@Jeni10 A much more eloquent explanation than mine.
@@johnpage7735 That’s because I took the wording from the internet definition. 😜
@@Jeni10 I may be wrong, but I feel sure there were no horse shoes back in the 1st to 5th century.
@@phil6506 Internet search revealed this: “The earliest forms of horseshoes can be found as early as 400 BC. Materials used ranged from plants, rawhide and leather strap gears referred to as “hipposandals” by the Romans.”
Working Dog Productions is a collaboration of comedians created out of the success of 'The Late Show' which screened in Australia in the early 90's.
Basically they were a bunch of Uni-graduates who got lucky on Australia's national broadcaster.
They have produced TV and Movies ever since, Including "Frontline' & 'Utopia' on the small screen and 'The Castle' and "The Dish' on the big screen.
also combine with D Generation and some from Fast Forward before the ones you've mentioned... funny as, from Australian sense of humour...
I wonder if Ryan has the stamina to react to The Dish... probably makes a nice nexus between Australian and US culture.
Frontline was one of the funniest shows in the history of Australian TV
Were they responsible for that tap dancing with the metal work boots?
Everything they did was genius
It's a comedy skit starring Glen Robbins an Australian comedian. He also plays the part "Uncle Arthur" as well as appearing in Kath & Kim an Aussie sitcom. A very funny man.
Glenn Robbins is one of the funniest human beings on the planet.
Upper middle class bogan' aswell.
Unfortunately, this idiot is implying that the skits are genuine advices. It's a comedy production and always was.
I wanna see Russell Coight take Uncle Arthur on an all Aussie Adventure!
@@Rob-fc9wgAnd Kel Knight can drive them in the Daewoo.
We lived in Outback WA in an abandoned miner’s cottage, and had to install a septic system. The ground was so hard it required gelignite to break through the rock. About a foot or so underground we discovered a fruitcake, wrapped in flimsy plastic. God only knows how it got there. Before we figured out how old it might have been, the dog found it and scarfed it. No damage to the dog.
Must have been one stale fruitcake 😂
Lol
@@anneloving8405 fruitcake never goes stale.
That's gold. He was a blue dog right.
@@nickgeiger1242 Golden lab.
There was an Australian racing driver Gelignite Jack Murray. He took part in Redex car trials amongst other races and took gelignite with him, just in case. He also set off charges to celebrate at the end of the race.
My dad drove in some of the Redex trials.
The good,ole,days when comedy was funny. Loved Russell from when he first hit the screen. What an Aussie treasure he is.
In Australia, a "working dog" is dog like a kelpie which is an Australian sheepdog or a blue heeler (Bluey) which is cattle dog. This video shows how a "working dog" works. ruclips.net/video/eFQQbvezJkE/видео.html
Russell coight is a comedy show. He's playing the part of an outback adventure specialist, but he really has no idea what he's doing. It's not meant to be serious. I love it. It's such a laugh. 😆 🤣
As an Aussie living in the Outback everything I know about bush survival I learned from watching Russell Coight!
He didnt have to stretch it too far. I love the one where he goes fishing with the bloke who gets on the piss all day.
The truth is, many do die in Australia in the outback because they’ve left their car
Hey some people drive a landcruiser and some drive a corolla
As an Australian it is funny to watch this
Us Aussies love Russell Coight.We have a unique sense of humour that other countries don,t have.
Sure do 🤣🤣🤣
Or understand 😂😂
SOME Aussies.I actually think the humour is pretty bland and corny.But hey,each to their own.
While we love him as a comedian, his advice is sound, and had saved a few people. :)
it's the wildlife which are in peril🤣
Happy sunny mild winter Arvo! 😁👍 I love Russell Coight, great Australian hero! 😃 Roll the logs, stay away from dynamite! 😥🇦🇺
Loving the comments! You know your audience, Ryan! As you will already know (see below) the actor, Glen Robbins also starred in Kath and Kim, which incidentally is one of my ALL TIME Australian productions. I'd love to see you watch one of the KaK episodes, but you need to do this with your charming significant other and not by yourself. Someone to bounce off... Ep 1 S1 would be my starting point. Have fun!
Yes Ryan mate your a Galah you crack me up every day. One-day you and your family can to become an Aussie in STRAYA 🇦🇺
Working Dog is a brilliant name! Every Aussie knows a farmer relies on their working dogs. Their dependable, loyal, hardworking and occasionally crazy as bats**t.
We're NOT American so you can write batshit ... we're NOT precious here !! 😂😂
He is a popular comedian here in Australia he tends to send up peeps but he ends up being the silly fella. Oh and expression these galahs (birds here in auss) means silly buggers
Very subtle humour behind the slapstick .The funniest bit for me is the petrol hose not reaching the bowser , when he's advising about calculating distance .
Brilliant comedian .
Watch some Kath and Kim to experience some of the best punwork you'll ever hear.
Russell is the most funniest bloke who is dead set funny funny funny. True Aussie Legend
My sister has a farm on the side of a mountain and they had an old car they didnt want so they got a landcruiser 4wd with a car trailer on it. .my brother in law thought it would be easier to load if he parked the 4wd facing down a steep drive. As he drove the old car onto the trailer it pushed the rear of the trailer down which lifted the rear wheels of the 4wd off the ground. As the handbrake of the 4wd works on the rear wheels of the 4wd and the rear wheels were in the air, the empty 4wd, the trailer and the old car with my brother in law in it went flying off down the hill into his dam. Mate, funniest thing i ever saw.
G’darvo mate! I love watching Americans reacting to Aussie legends like Russel Coight.
The hippies who have broken down in their Kombi van is a classic.
I'm so glad you've met Russell!! True icon!
There used to be a rally race through the outback many years ago. One of the characters was called “Gelignite Jack Murray” because he was always blowing things up using his vast supply of gelignite.
We hadn't seen any of Russell's videos for a long time. We loved it and boy did it make us laugh. Thanks
Glenn does have a great sense of humour. He came into where I worked once and he was wearing sunnies inside. He saw my reaction and said "I'm not trying to look cool with these, I've just been to the eye doctor." I said, "Don't worry you could never look 'cool'." For the tiniest split second I thought he was going to deck me, them he laughed.
Working Dog Productions is the production company that made all of these shows …..
I think this video shows the difference between American and Australian humour. Everything Working Dog does is hysterical 😆
‘Working dog’ is term for dogs that work alongside farmers and help round up cattle or sheep. They’re highly trained and very skillful and the breeds are usually kelpies or cattle dogs.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh my god to frigging funny.. Russell cracks me up everytime. But ya right I wouldnt want his help ...
You Yanks might think this is comedy , but this bloke is a real dinky die Aussie legend . A true expert in all his various endeavours and a model for anyone venturing into the deadly Aussie outback .
Years ago 3 of us used ANFO and dynamite to blast some tree stumps on a friend's farm. Over-estimated the amount needed and had stump chunks flying 50 meters in the air, landing on our cars 100 meters away and started a grass fire the CFA had to come and put out. Life was way more fun before mobile phones and the internet... Keep it on your "to do" list Ryan!🙂
Is your name Russell then?
That lady with the dead battery was from Manchester (England) - that was a thick Manchester accent.. lol
Funny you said “Bluey” because Bluey is a working dog. Blue Heelers were bred in Australia for working sheep in harsh conditions and are considered the ultimate working dog. Blueys dad is also Blue Heeler and her Mum is a Red cloud Kelpie - Australia’s other working dog.
A Bluey is also an incontinence pad
Bluey's Mum, Chilli is a Red Heeler.
Glenn Robbins would have to be a National Treasure and all round genuine Mr Nice Guy. his Podcast with Dave O'Neill "Somehow Related" is firm confirmation of that,amongst the rest of his extensive career.
A mate of mine is a real clutz, if it can go wrong it will for Simmo. We call him Coight. "He pulled a coight". "Simmo coighted it".
Now we start getting the phone out to record his misadventures. A good laugh is had by all, including Simmo.
Yes Ryan, you are the very definition of a galah, a galah is a small Australian cockatoo with a grey back and rosy pink head and underparts. However, because of the behaviour of these birds, when applied to people, it means stupid LOL. (sorry about that)
My dad put dynamite in the family woodpilevwhen he was in his teens - because why not? That shimmied up into the air and came back down in the same spot. Just as his dad drive home to see it. 😂
Please add to the list of Coight ism's
"Plains that stretch for as far as the eye can see,... even further with binoculars!"
It is the name of the production company that produces these shows. The name comes from farm dogs, known as working dogs because they work for their keep as opposed to pets.
Australia's 'Frank Spencer' ( Some mother's do have them - UK comedy TV show).
Ohhhh Russell is Hillarious😅Don’t worry Ryan Russell is a clumsy know it all who knows not much at all LMAO 😜 😂GREAT Comedian 😳🤣🤗♥️♥️♥️♥️🦋🌹🦋🌹🌹
Ryan, Working Dog is a film and television production company based in Melbourne whose productions ... Russell Coight (Glenn Robbins) is a BIG CRACK production. Also a lot of Australian shows
He’s an Aussie comedian, lots of sarcasm etc
Takes me back to the 80's. Steve Vizard, Comedy Company, The Big Gig and the The Doug Anthony All Stars. Good times.
Miss my sat night view of "Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventures" great aussie humour, thanks for that😂🤣
Working Dog has been around for almost 40 years. It's made some of the best and most successful Aussie comedy film and TV of all time.
Love Russell.. a crazy Aussie comedian.. lol Y9u have to have a sick Aussie humour to appreciate this! It's ALL tongue in cheek. GALAHS = IDIOTS! 😂😂😂

'Ya Flamin Galah' 🤣
if you look closely at the closing credits and the end of the episode..there's a disclaimer that no animal was hurt more than once on the show....jokes of course, but gave me a chuckle when i noticed it.
G'Day mate. Thouroughly enjoying you reacting to our Aussie antics and shows.
Keep it up!
Absolutely love Russell 😮, he was the funniest character
Russell Coight, Aussie legend!!
Ahhhh Glen...perfect balance of truth and silliness.
"working dog" isn't random to us. We describe all those farm dogs (Sheep Dogs. Kelpies. Aussie Cattle Dogs) as "Working Dogs", it's a common reference to an Aussie.
People "perish" in the outback ALL THE TIME, particularly when their cars break down and they try to walk out. Then the next they are heard of is when their bleached bones are found 10 years later by some other tourist who's car has broken down in the bush somewhere.
or the one in Tassy at the moment is believed dead from the cold, last I heard the body still hadn't been found though & they hadn't officially switched to body recovery, are still calling it a "search & rescue". Car's found, but not her
@mehere8038 it's been ridiculously cold here in Tas even for the middle of winter, unless she's found somewhere or someway to keep warm and dry, the outcome won't be good.
@@angelavinen2881 sad :( & yet another reason not to leave your car & go wandering off into the bush alone, with no phone reception & no emergency alert devices & no-one knowing in detail where you are going or when you are returning.
If people are going into the bush on their own, they can buy tiny, light weight Epirbs that they can activate in an emergency, and/or they can go to a local police station & give their details & their planned route & return date, so that authorities know if something has happened & can start searching in a timely manner. Even better is to take someone with you in addition to the above, but the above are options for people who want to risk their lives alone in the Aussie bush. People need to grasp just how extreme & potentially dangerous our conditions really are!
Russel Coight (Glenn Robbins) is an Australian comedian from such shows as The Naked Vicar Show, Full Frontal, Cath & Kim and The Comedy Comany..... this is just his current show where he takes the piss out of everyday situations.
A car trial "Redex Trial"around Australia in the 1950's one competitor "Gelignite Jack" was accused of blowing the road up behind him to slow down competitors
This is an Australian comic doing what we do and that’s taking the piss out of ourselves.
Love the vids mate, idk how yous still think English accent is Australian 😂
There was a guy who won a few Motocross through outback Australia he was famous called * Jellignite Jack* who took blew up many tracks for himself where others couldn't go with Jellignite n dynamite ..
Glenn Robbins, a.k.a. Russell Coit. Great comedian/actor. That woman was English. Galah is a native bird however if you’re called a Galah, it means you’re a fool
Russel Coight - Aussie Legend.
Love the humour. love how he snuck in great survival advice with the various scenarious, Stay with the car, keep the fuel topped up, get the right gear etc, BUT when he dropped the snatch strap over the tow ball I cringed inside - That is Deadly (not in a good way - just search for snatch strap with tow ball) - just as well the bull bar ripped off.
Omg. Did I recognize Glenn Robbins from the "Upper Middle Bogan"-series in this vid? How funny. I first got his voice. Seems like watching three seasons of UMB especially his voice was burned into my brain. But in that video he looks way younger. He's a good comedian anyway.
Lol always out there for an Australian Comedian
Working dog is named after Australia’s farming routes more specifically sheep farming and the blue healer breed of dog :)
5:10 You should look up that video from back in the day where they used explosives to clear a whale carcass off a beach cause it was too big to move.
Glen is also in Upper Middle Bogan, loved that show.
Matey...diesel mechanic hurrrr, (look at me getn my merika on) 3ish mins in, battery talk you don't need an alternator recharging the system to jump start. It's like a lake (the battery) and a stream of water (the energy) supplying the dead battery with energy to kick the engine over and their alternator keeping the flow of energy going and replenishing the dead battery (the lake). There is so much more but that is an Aussies take on the simple version of explaining how energy works within that system of a vehicle...for rump stake I wrote a lot ay
Do NOT attach a snatch strap to your tow ball 🤦♂️
It’s possible for the snatch strap to become a slingshot and the tow ball the projectile. There have been many recorded deaths as a result.
Just a heads up vs heads off tip.
🇦🇺🍻
Russell Coight is yet another parody of an Aussie galah. Paul Hogan's "Leo Wanker" was another one, as well as "Strop" on the Paul Hogan Show. All ridiculous fools. We do know 'Working Dog Productions', they produced the quintessential Aussie films, 'The Castle' and 'The Dish' as well as many comedy tv shows.
Your reactions to this are more amusing than the source material.
Russel Coight is an Aussie icon 😂
Gelignite Jack was a larakin from the 50's car rallying in Redex trials who played with explosives.
Russell is a legend , a is Uncle Arthur. (another of his characters)
Russ is hilarious ..its called taking the piss ..
Glen Robbins aka Russell Coit is an Australian icon.
It's not really something we all do, but a cousin of mine had got his explosives certificate and we decided to move an old dead tree. 13 kilos of nitropele (sic) and a stick of gelignite sent that 200' baby straight up well over 100' and showered us with kinda lethal fragments well over 250 yards away. You do learn a lot with experience, if you survive!
If you look up "Dunning - Kruger Effect" in a dictionary, you'll find a picture of Russell Coight!
He is a good comedian. I loved him in Kath and Kim!!!!
My family had a sheep farm and when they sold it they were cleaning out the hay shed and came across some old explosives that were leaking in the back. The bomb squad, fire department, ambulance and police all had to present so they could be dealt with 😂
happy Arvo to you 😊
he's an australian comedian , really funny guy
Russel Coight is a comedic actor from the comedy company.... used to love watching this satire... he does the weirdest shit man
I remember the day when I went to see cousins from the country and I heard the word “coight” for the first time.
I live in a small town in WA called Yuna and I have to get a bus to Geraldton Senior high school and my friends and I saw a man's car rolling away and we yelled to him "that's something Russell Coight 2ould do"
Haha you so got it!
Ge us the last guy you want help from!
Classic lol
Takes me back.
Hiya cobber how is ya. mate of mine just came back from Holi. in the USA> he absolutely loved it. met a lot of nice people.
Another great show with Glen Robins (Russel Coit) is upper-middle bogan.
Reminds me of some 90's "acquaintances" who decided to strap some dynamite to a small wild pig for laughs. They all stood there holding their hunting dogs back from chasing after the pig, while the squealing piglet got strapped up with a suicide vest. The fuse was lit and the pig ran straight under a new 4WD.
haha lol - just like the henry lawson short story - the loaded dog / with the line - 'ows the fishin' dave
@@jimlofts5433 😆 I think I have seen a painting of that story.
Hope the 4wd was a complete write off. Karma
Arseholes
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏽
My uncle was a farmer. He would blow lots of stuff up with ammonium nitrate, tree stumps, rabbit warrens, you name it,he blew it up. There was tonnes of ammonium nitrate in his machineryshed.....this was long before the Oklahoma City bombing. After that....not so much.
Russell is very good at showing what not to do.
That was definitely a British accent and not Australian. Completely different, as opposed to American vs Canadian accents, which are indistinguishable. ;)
What are you torking aboot?
Awesome answer 😂 👍
No, hes Australian
A true blue Auzzie
This persona is a well know comedian it's all BS
