As a Tasmanian who lives in the North of the state, this is very accurate. We also eat ice cream in the middle of winter when it's colder outside than in the fridge.
but if you’re from the North, surely you’re like my family: my ancestors arrived as free settlers in the 1830s not as convicts. They settled around Devonport way.
I'm a descendent of a tassie convict. He did his time, for stealing a hanky, got a land grant on the Tamar and married the 14 yld daughter of an officer. And here is my family now. 4 generations later.
“I’ll be there in August” “That’s gunna be a bitch to edit” I love that he’s not even trying to stay within the realm of the story anymore & he knows we love it 🤣

“through the correct pylons” I lost it. TOTALLY LOST IT. I remember the bridge going down, was too young to really understand… until the next time we visited Hobart and had to drive all the way down to Grandma’s via the eastern shore because NO BRIDGE!
@@GoonSmith007 please explain why the Eastern Shore has the most expansion then? lol.

Pity the ferries don’t run between shores still though: a good fast catamaran could save some traffic over “the bridge”. That one with “the correct pylons” lol. O FYI father in law was a metallurgist. He’d only just moved to Hobart when the bridge went down. He worked on the bridge. Fascinating photo relics, of cross sections of damaged portions I think.

“Peak minute traffic” 😂😂😂 And knowing someone everywhere you go - love it! Even if you don’t know them, you soon will! When my Tassie uncle came to Sydney he seemed to know everyone, he was waving g’day mate and they were all waving back. He’d got to know the locals within hours 😆 (which is why Tasmanians are great community people! ) “The shack” caught me out when I saw what my Tassie cousins meant - a full blown retro gorgeous beach house 😂
@@chelskay3995 👌spot on! I worked with children in local area and can tell eg who child's father is when I first meet child and their mum because of family resemblance..... Freaks the mums out but I went to school with the dad at some point 😂 had happened a dozen times or so 😂 And got to be careful with road rage.... Careful who you flip the bird too.... You will probably run into them soon....!
They stopped people from doing that... Health and safety, local council edition prohibits people from driving up the mountain when there might be any snow or ice.
@Nigel Hickman They block off the road at "The Springs" don't they and you can't go any further up the road, but it has to be pretty bad before they do that. I've been up to the top when there's been snow. Or, is this a relatively new rule. What is far more dangerous I think, is driving to work along the Southern Outlet, going down that steep section from near Tolman's Hill when the road is icy. That road is so steep. Someone told me the road works people spread salt on the road to melt/dissolve the black ice when it gets too dangerous. Anyone know if that's true? Still love Hobart though. It's a special place.
@Caroh Yeah, it's fun. Kids love doing that, so do the big kids. The snowmen don't last long though, sitting on a warm car bonnet. I've seen them make it all the way down into the city though.
OMG when American sailors were in town it was HILARIOUS. “Excuse me, where is Lu-an-keston?” “Oh, you mean LAUN-CES-TON, about 3 hours THAT WAY”. “Three hours? Really??? I didn’t think Tasmania was that big” “It is.”
@@hails8907 it’s so silly! We went back for a holiday one time, arrived on the Spirit, drove to Strahan for a river cruise, drove to Hobart through the wee hours trying to avoid suicidal animals etc. We know Tassie so picked some stuff we couldn’t afford when we lived there and revisited some places we love. Saw a teeny fractional percentage of the state in 2 weeks. So much there to love!
“Checking the BOM weather app when you go through any door” As a Tasmanian, this had me in absolute stitches… until I had to get my shit together enough to check the rain radar on the BOM app.
literally got back from Hobart yesterday after a week and YES to all of this except you forgot to mention $15/dozen oysters !!! OMG almost worth the weather
🤣🤣🤣 What!? No Cadbury Chocolate Factory gag? Or mutton bird? Wrest Point Casino? Great aunts that worked at Cadbury spoiling you with chocolate and KFC? (hang on, that's a childhood memory) A horse stable in the back yard in suburban Hobart - horse included? (Nah, another childhood memory. Yes, I went there in the 1970s) Lavender even? 😂 Oh Hobart! You hold a special place in my heart. The birthplace of my Nanna (may she rest) and a few of my great aunts and great uncles. Another gem; hilarious.
Absolutely the Cadbury factory hauls are legendary, I have a much loved photo of bringing home a reject box and my grandmother and mother diving into them on a picnic blanket in front of the log fire. You can’t replace memories like these!
A few years ago I took the family to Tassie for a holiday.When we landed in Launceston they said "It's a cool 10 degrees you'll probably need your jacket".As we left the plane in our shorts and t shirts the hostess said to us You're from Melbourne aren't you?"Correct.
I’m a bit embarrassed to say this but, I hadn’t heard of Jimmy Rees until his “The guy who decides Formula 1” clip (I’m an F1 fan), but now I am hooked. Jimmy you are a comedic genius. Can’t wait for your Canberra Show. Thank you for making me laugh out loud which is a gift not many comedians have. Can’t wait for Darwin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AthomewithKaren oh yes, I was sent a video by a friend of the Meanwhile back in Australia...series. Funniest thing I have ever heard . You're a legend Jimmy, keep it up..
I've seen tourists burn bright red on a 10 degree winter day. When in QLD, one joker thought he'd advise me (a Tasmanian) about sunscreen - couldn't understand why I collapsed laughing...
@@macca3803 Tassie has low levels of UV through winter - but even at low levels people can burn after just 60 minutes of exposure - coupled with less air pollutants and the wind burn factor - means that I have seen people get burned on a sunny winters day in Tasmania.
Feelin’ ya Tasmania! We right down here in New Zealand are constantly left off maps! Particularly in America. I’ve heard Tasmania referred to as New Zealand’s West Island…😁
Yes! Exactly. I lived in New Zealand from the age of 12 to 27. When we moved back to Australia, people used to teach me about my kiwi accent, so I'd say "you know there's space on the New Zealand flag for one more star. If you play your cards right that could be Australia, as New Zealand's western province. THAT shut them up!
Maybe but I wish I had spent 10 years in New Zealand and not Tas. You had the best Prime Minister in the world David Lange who had guts to stand up to keep Pacific (NZ) nuke free.
I was worried you wouldn't really know the ins and outs of being a Hobartian... but this is great!!! A few new ones for me..."North of the flannelette curtain".... is he talking about Glenorchy?
Loved your show and meeting you tonight Jimmy! We had front row seats - your Brighton lady asked me how I have my coffee and was disappointed that I don’t usually have almond milk 😏. We laughed the whole time. Brilliant!
Hey Jimmy The Two Head thing came from an Iodine deficiency due to the nature of the soil. Lack of Iodine led to goitre (a swelling of the glands on the side of the neck). It resembled a smaller second head. It had to be surgically removed, this why sometimes people look for the scar. You should really do a POV on the West Coast Tas.
All the strategies used in Tasmania to combat iodine-deficiency have now been adopted by the rest of Australia. Rather than making jokes about Taswegians, they should be saying thankyou for doing all the heavy lifting... Bloody mainlanders...
Oh yeah! You need a passport to go to the west coast of Tassie. Queenstown that the locals call " Mordor". Watch where you walk; around Zeehan, there are still drilling holes left over from the mining days that aren't covered over, except by undergrowth. Fall into one of those and you'll come out the other side in South America.
One more thing..... the f*n wind in spring!!!! It's a turbulent phenomenon. It did my HEAD IN after my 2 week quarantine with 2 kids. The windiest of windy winds!. Roof, gutters all flapping about 24/7. Apparently it's only a couple of months of torture each year 😁🙄😓 yaaaay.
Tasmanian seasons... Summer - late Jan to mid march Autumn - Mid March to late June (sometime July) Winter - June to September Windy - October thru Jan
Yeah… people think winter is bad in Tassie. Nope! Spring is the absolute worst. All the wind. Sideways hail. And it sucks so bad because most people expect that the worst is over by August… but that’s just the beginning!
10 convicts in my family tree. The number is a bit low by Tassie standards because my mother was from Queensland (Goondiwindi) and all her folks came as free settlers.
Oh my stars that is seriously so accurate - have never seen a Tassie devil - been here 6 years. Some part of me believing the tiger still exists . . . . .and I am one of those who lives north of the flannel curtain - and I do wear a flanney as one of my 14 layers. But as an ex Qlder and WAer, I don't wear shorts!!!!!! There are limits.
As a Canberran, it was interesting to see many things (half of the items?) that also apply to Canberra but weren't in the Canberra video that included some things I didn't know about...
Look, I may be Brisbane born n bred, but reading the comments below from the Taswegians (I did get that right, right?!) I am now officially scared of Jimmy. He knows EVERYTHING. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. Edit: also not afraid to admit I just googled the Wall of Vaginas!
Hilarious! 😆🤣😂...& go Darwin next - we share the odd bit with Tassie as there's maybe 4 degrees of separation! (& I wonder if he'll nail the 'Territory Rig' & 4:21?)
😅😂😅 I’ve never been there , but I get the picture. LOL . Absolutely Hilarious ., well done Jimmy you’re AMAZING ~ cashier beep beep beep x 1000million 👏👏👏👏 Thanks for the laughs !! 🍻👌😆
Absolutely brilliant! Forgot one thing though: Having a pointless rivalry with the Eastern Shore because it’s 2 degrees warmer on that side of the river 😜 Edit: Also being like the world’s biggest morning tea because our Casino looks like a giant thermos and our Federation Concert Hall looks like a biscuit barrel. 😂
Me, a resident of the east: you’ll all see when Rosny Park becomes the next cbd Also we have the airport, the cricket, the risdon dam, and the ✨sparkling✨ bays.
I think that rivalry of the eastern shore vs the city side goes back a long way. It's not just about the eastern shore getting more sunlight (because as the sun sets, the mountain blocks the sun's rays earlier than on the eastern shore). In colonial days, if you fell out of favour with the hoi polloi of society on the western shore, you were banished to live on the eastern shore. The only means of getting there was a row 🚣♂️ boat, and you took your life in your hands because there were so many whales in the river back then. Apparently whale song used to keep people awake at night but I'm not sure if that's true, it sounds like a tall story, but there were whales in the river. On the side of Knopwoods tavern at Salamanca, there is the story of Reverend Knopwood who fell out of favour and got himself banished to the eastern shore, and his residence was confiscated. When it became a tavern, I don't know, its a long time since I read the history. Nice people those early settlers, NOT. Bryce Courtenay's book is about colonial life in Hobart. One chapter opens with a brilliant description of the sun disappearing behind the mountain and sucking the light out of the town and the river. Some parts of the book are a bit x-rated, but overall it's a good account of life in Hobart Town in the 19th century. The Hope and Anchor pub on the waterfront is still in use today.
This is so damn relatable as a Hobartian. Also. The only acceptable Tasmanian beer in Hobart is Cascade. Also, Launceston is the problem in our argument. They complain that we get everything as the capital. Hospital, Cricket, and complaining about their lack of tourist attractions.
When you do Darwin’s shopping trip, don’t forget: crocs, fish and chips at the wharf, crocs, Mindel Beach Markets, lunch at the HumptyDoo Pub, backpackers, crocs, pluggers, stubbies (the shorts), fifo, crocs, backpackers, saying “you get used to the heat” to southerners, when what you really mean is “you’ll get used to sweating 24/7!”… crocs, backpackers, backpackers stying to swim with crocs, crocs trying to swim with backpackers, backpackers trying to swim nude with crocs, the outrageous front page of the ‘NT News’ newspaper… locals breaking out the jackets and beanies when it drops down to a freezing 20 degrees Celsius in the dry season. Surfers who can only surf during a giant storm because they are not likely to get eaten by sharks crocs or stingers at that point! Crocs, a gazillion inches of rain in the ‘wet’ season every year! Snakes in the dunny. Redbacks in the dunny. Crocs in the dunny. And of course to go with the beers-beers-beers-beers a permanent “she’ll be right” holiday attitude to life. 🤔 did we mention crocs?
I lived there for 33 years then migrated to the mainland/north island. Didn’t buy a puffer jacket until hubby got a job in Canberra *cough* see POV Canberra! lol
The bit about wanting to go to Salamanca but only if you can park right outside is so true of the Tassie attitude. It's probably becoming less of an issue as the oldies die out but certainly back a few decades if you ran a business and didn't have parking right outside or a car park you were at a disadvantage.
The last one, 😂 I, not Tasmanian, (or Australian) was attempting to ship something to a friend in Tasmania, the "worldwide" shipping had the option to send to Antarctica (bit took longer, with extra fee) but still had no Tasmania! I think they are just taking the Mickey
So right! All of it! 😂 A special shout out for Hobart people never turning up to stuff, then whining when they lose them. Oh, and if you’re in Hobart, no need to mention Boags. Love ya work, Jimmy. 😊

Hilarious! 😆🤣😂...& go Darwin next - we share the odd bit with Tassie as there's maybe 4 degrees of separation! (& I wonder if he'll nail the 'Territory Rig' & 4:21?)
😅😂😅 I’ve never been there , but I get the picture. LOL . Absolutely Hilarious ., well done Jimmy you’re AMAZING ~ cashier beep beep beep x 1000million 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the laughs !! 🍻👌😆
Totally nailed it, Jimmy! 😆
I’ve recently been in hospital and all you videos make me laugh. Thank you for bringing me some joy in my day 😄
Absolutely brilliant! Forgot one thing though: Having a pointless rivalry with the Eastern Shore because it’s 2 degrees warmer on that side of the river 😜
Edit: Also being like the world’s biggest morning tea because our Casino looks like a giant thermos and our Federation Concert Hall looks like a biscuit barrel. 😂
100% agreed! Also, south of Bridgewater bridge being pissy at the the north and east having 110km speed limit, whilst south has max 100 km 😂 WHY!?!?!?
🤣🤣🤣oh God yes!
Me, a resident of the east: you’ll all see when Rosny Park becomes the next cbd
Also we have the airport, the cricket, the risdon dam, and the ✨sparkling✨ bays.
I think that rivalry of the eastern shore vs the city side goes back a long way. It's not just about the eastern shore getting more sunlight (because as the sun sets, the mountain blocks the sun's rays earlier than on the eastern shore). In colonial days, if you fell out of favour with the hoi polloi of society on the western shore, you were banished to live on the eastern shore. The only means of getting there was a row 🚣♂️ boat, and you took your life in your hands because there were so many whales in the river back then. Apparently whale song used to keep people awake at night but I'm not sure if that's true, it sounds like a tall story, but there were whales in the river. On the side of Knopwoods tavern at Salamanca, there is the story of Reverend Knopwood who fell out of favour and got himself banished to the eastern shore, and his residence was confiscated. When it became a tavern, I don't know, its a long time since I read the history. Nice people those early settlers, NOT.
Bryce Courtenay's book is about colonial life in Hobart. One chapter opens with a brilliant description of the sun disappearing behind the mountain and sucking the light out of the town and the river. Some parts of the book are a bit x-rated, but overall it's a good account of life in Hobart Town in the 19th century. The Hope and Anchor pub on the waterfront is still in use today.
Absolutely true !! Just watching POV You're from Hobart.. I'm crying here with laughter ! Everything is so true.
brilliant. I was about 5 when the ship brought down the Tasman bridge. Well researched.
I laughed so hard - thanks for the endorphins from the southern eastern shore resident 😉
This was the best one. Appreciate you Jimmy. Looking forward to August 10th. I’m driving down (5hrs).
LOLOL the tinder line was my fav LOL
Each time I see Boonie in his car I legit stop traffic to let him in
This is so damn relatable as a Hobartian.
Also. The only acceptable Tasmanian beer in Hobart is Cascade.
Also, Launceston is the problem in our argument. They complain that we get everything as the capital. Hospital, Cricket, and complaining about their lack of tourist attractions.
as a Tasmanian, I can approve that everything on this video is accurate, full stop.
So good. He didn't mention the fact that people put snow on their windscreen to show that they had been up the mountain
Oh thank you Jimmy for giving me a good belly laugh about my home state Tasmania. It was all pretty accurate! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha. Were still better than any other state because you missed out one thing. "Our Clean Air"
Peak minute traffic 😆😆😆
The two heads thing was apparently from a lack of iodine in the diet way back when, resulting in goitre.
Better than the excess cadmium out west!
When you do Darwin’s shopping trip, don’t forget: crocs, fish and chips at the wharf, crocs, Mindel Beach Markets, lunch at the HumptyDoo Pub, backpackers, crocs, pluggers, stubbies (the shorts), fifo, crocs, backpackers, saying “you get used to the heat” to southerners, when what you really mean is “you’ll get used to sweating 24/7!”… crocs, backpackers, backpackers stying to swim with crocs, crocs trying to swim with backpackers, backpackers trying to swim nude with crocs, the outrageous front page of the ‘NT News’ newspaper… locals breaking out the jackets and beanies when it drops down to a freezing 20 degrees Celsius in the dry season. Surfers who can only surf during a giant storm because they are not likely to get eaten by sharks crocs or stingers at that point! Crocs, a gazillion inches of rain in the ‘wet’ season every year! Snakes in the dunny. Redbacks in the dunny. Crocs in the dunny. And of course to go with the beers-beers-beers-beers a permanent “she’ll be right” holiday attitude to life. 🤔 did we mention crocs?
Only things you forgot were frogs in the toilet, saying people are from Down South, and explaining to southerners that there IS no winter.
Love your work Jimmy! 👍😂
Brilliant Jimmy you really pegged Tassie. I lived there for 5 years and it's all true.🤣🤣🤣👍
I lived there for 33 years then migrated to the mainland/north island. Didn’t buy a puffer jacket until hubby got a job in Canberra *cough* see POV Canberra! lol
@@DarkMatterZine "The land that time forgot".
Hahahahaha.
Ahhh, this was so good!
And pretty bloody accurate 😜
😂😂😂😂😂 I lived there for 10yrs and it’s all true 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That was actually not annoying, for a mainlander doing tassie comedy
I’m Tasmanian, and this is so bloody true. 🤣
Brilliant. I'm Tasmanian through and through, so many accuracies it's hard to pick a stand-out although the puffer jacket and Hartz is so correct.
The bit about wanting to go to Salamanca but only if you can park right outside is so true of the Tassie attitude. It's probably becoming less of an issue as the oldies die out but certainly back a few decades if you ran a business and didn't have parking right outside or a car park you were at a disadvantage.
As I always say when landed with the two heads joke, “obviously you are not Tasmanian, if you were, surely you would never have chosen that one…”
The last one, 😂 I, not Tasmanian, (or Australian) was attempting to ship something to a friend in Tasmania, the "worldwide" shipping had the option to send to Antarctica (bit took longer, with extra fee) but still had no Tasmania! I think they are just taking the Mickey
Jimmy I think you need a holiday after all that scanning laughed the whole time and I've never been , but I did have tassie friends once.
That was perfect! Spot on, made me laugh
How have I only seen this now!!! This is absolutely 100% on the money! How did you know about our 'flannel border'???!!!! Haha amazing!!!!!
Jimmy you are the best. I need to visit Tasmania You are great for Tourism. Thank you
My fiancee is Tasmanian. This is eerily accurate.
So right! All of it! 😂
A special shout out for Hobart people never turning up to stuff, then whining when they lose them.
Oh, and if you’re in Hobart, no need to mention Boags.
Love ya work, Jimmy. 😊
We're Queenslanders who lived in Devonport for two years and this is so funny and accurate 😂
I grew up with this guy on kids TV, I'm glad I can still enjoy his content. Thank you, fucking funny.
i thought soo he is jimmy giggle from giggle and hoot
Yes, I'm in Tasmania. This is so true
The love and dedication to the HUON PINE!?
Did you really miss the biggest must of Tassie?
Let's not forget the one where Tassie is so pure and clean, but don't drink the tap water because it gets dodgy at random intervals.
Mate, that is freaking hilarious 😂😂everything in that video is correct HAHAH
I love the cold, seafood, veggie restaurants, zero traffic. Maybe I should move to Tassie? I could use a second head too.
