What makes this show so incredibly clever is that the Indian Aussies are sledging the wider Aussie culture on the one hand, whilst also sledging the traditional Indian culture at the same time. The entire series is well worth watching. It hilarious.😂
Yeah but that's the first time I have ever heard Jimmy Grant used for immigrant though ?, It must be slang unique to another state.
@@iggyblitz8739 I’ve heard all of those slang words before. What’s interesting is that “the Internet” is pretty much full of younger users, but more importantly “younger creators”. It’s really “cringeworthy” to see some of the younger creators doing videos about “Aussie Slang” that are absolutely clueless about the actual meanings of even the simplest of slang. They tend to stick with the basics like “Mate”, the shortening of words, or “How ya goin”.
For example, they tend to tell their “audience” that the latter is a rhetorical question, which requires no actual answer. Maybe a “Good Thanks”. Whatever happened to “I’m flat out like a lizard drinking”? Or “I’m going like a herd of turtles”? Or the countless other Aussie slang retorts?
Most of them would be clueless if you tried “Rhyming Slang” on them. “Wearing a bag of fruit”. Or “On the dog and bone”. Or “Hitting the frog and toad”.
They never even seem to start on classic Aussie sayings or insults.
@@iggyblitz8739 yes as a victorian I had never heard that.
@@janegarnham Yes well we all know there is some slang unique to certain states, in your case... grouse.
@@jamussmyth1612 True, I am not the young but perhaps some use slang a lot more than others, I don't use heaps of it to be honest, I guess it has to be part of your personality, where you were brought up ; in the city, , country etc
This is more accurate than any of those list videos made by Americans about Australia.
Ryan, feel free to laugh your head off. This is a comedy show, taking the piss out of both Indians and Aussies both.
BTW, it is How To Talk "Australians", not "to Australians".
So they are calling our language "Australians" incorrectly, instead of saying just "How to talk Australian". Park of the joke.
The phone call is their interpretation of how one would conduct a phone conversation if you were Australian.
This whole series is absolute gold🏆
well mansplained bro
@@CLAWCUZBRO Except that I'm not a man "bro" 🙄
@@joanneginever1890 😂😂😂 gotem!
@Joanne Ginever I watched this series a few years ago and laughed my ass off. It sure is hilarious. 😂😂😂
I've watched the series and it is hilarious. Well worth it to watch the others, Ryan.
I've seen the whole series years ago, it's a classic. The Indian fellas that made these videos definitely spent a lot of time living in Australia and fully understand us and our culture, as well as their own, and the way they take the piss out of themselves and Australians in this series is not only hilarious but highly appreciated by the majority of Aussies.
This never gets old. You’re allowed to laugh Ryan. It’s hilarious 😂
Mate, it’s an Australian comedy acted out by “Aussie Indians” taking “the piss out of” the Australian culture. It’s absolutely bloody hilarious. No-one “takes offence”. It’s very common to “take the piss” out of each other, and ourselves. No one takes life that seriously here. Laugh all you want to. No one cares. We will be the first ones to laugh along with you😊
Sledging our fellow countrymen is pretty much a National sport😂
@@jamussmyth1612 Almost as popular as sledging the Kiwis. 🤣
No one laughs at themselves more than skippys! X
Yeah I was going to say, the fact they are taking the piss on all sides means they are genuinely Aussie
Bloody hilarious the whole series. We do love having the piss taken out of us, especially when it's done well.
As an Australian you are aloud to laugh at everything
😂 Ryan, I’m almost 73 and I’ve never seen this! I went between killing my self laughing and being a little offended but it’s really funny and us Aussies are pretty good at laughing at ourselves! Thanks hon! 😊❤️🇦🇺xxx
fyi ,this is a Australian production, written and produced by local Aussies with Indian/Indian background actors. There's nothing for you to be offended by.
The Indians are also hanging shit on themselves as well. Awesome video.
@@navs485 didn’t I say I laughed an awful lot? Offended was probably the wrong word but I don’t need to be called out by you!
This is good! same had not seen it haha
@@ozjan7927 .....Look out we have a snappy Aussie here. No one was calling you out, but it certainly does appear you're easily offended if you think you were called out haha. A little salty me thinks haha. Us Aussies have tougher skin than that.
I love this series. You need to watch the whole lot if them. I think from memory there's 8 or so. You'll learn a lot from this Ryan how we talk and do things etc.😂
I'm Aussie! No offense taken. 🤣🇭🇲🤘 Fkn hilarious
This is hilarious, don't feel uncomfortable about laughing at this, we don't take ourselves too seriously 😂😂
I have lost track of of how many times I have watched this and I piddle myself laughing every time. The whole series is a brilliant pisstake.
As an Aussie, I know someone who calls me and talks to me like that all the time. Which reminds me, I must give Mum a call
You can laugh at anything mate.... life is too short to be taken too seriously.
OMG I'm so happy you reacted to this! You've got to watch the rest, it's hilarious.
And never worry about offending an Aussie with jokes, we're the ultimate stir-stirrers and piss-takers.
Don't feel bad laughing at all the jokes. Have watched these guys before and I laugh out loud everytime. None of us are offended at all, well, 99.9% of us aren't. You should watch more 👌👍😄
Never seen it before but left me pissing myself laughing. Another little Aussie saying for you. Sounds like training for Indian phone operators that constantly call us at all hours day and night to sell something. LOL.
That’s exactly what it is.
Yes this series was a classic and hilarious. Definitely check out more. And yes they are Indian Australians. You can hear Mrs Shiva’s Australian accent slip out every now and then.
watch the series , these guys are great , taking the piss out of Australians , it never get's old
This video is so funny. It takes the piss so well lol. Oh and Ryan you can laugh! Aussies are pretty chill
Oh, I love this series! Gold tier pisstake.
The irony in this. Is that a lot of Australian companies moved their help desk to India, this was a funny way to get to learn Australian lingo.
I saw this years ago and it's still funny! BTW, the pointer the narrator uses early in the clip looks like a kangaroo paw (the animal limb, not the flower).
They weren't insulting each other they were saying - HELLO how are you going.
That first part is me and my best mate we just abuse each other for like 30 seconds then have a laugh then talk for an hour 😂
I’m an Aussie and these series are hilarious.
It’s brilliantly done. It is hilarious on so many levels. Not the least of which is that so many call centres for Aussie businesses are in India.
I love it when reactors watch this and take it seriously. I’m sure lots of viewers do too.
It's a little something you may or may not understand called "satire". I remember watching this video series years ago, quite the nostalgia hit.
Comedy Gold!! Please do the whole series
Aussies love this video, hence why it has so many views and it's probably viewed by a lot of the Indian population as well.
Indian-Australian comedy actors sending our society up is what this series is. Aussies mostly find this hilarious.
yeah... Ms Shiva breaks out of her indian accent a bit too much ;)
This series is a classic, sooooo much of this went over your head Ryan, but that's understandable 🤣
Thats crazy funny! Apart of Aussie humour is to take the piss out of ourselves.
You're allowed to laugh at everything! This is such a cack! It still cracks me up after all this time. Watch the entire series Ryan.
This series is excellent - you should check the others out too.
Watched this 8yrs ago, still funny today😂
That was bloody hilarious. I'm gonna have to watch em all 🤣🤣🤣
Love this series, you really should react to the entire series. This is full of laughs!
So happy you are reacting to this series, one of my favourite. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes.
Feel free to laugh at all of this Ryan. We won’t be snowflakes about it like some other Cultures would.
I put together some meanings for the slang in this video for you and examples where appropriate:
Skippy - An old tv show about a Kangaroo called ‘Skippy’ who I think saved or helped people. The show was called: “Skippy the Bush Kangaroo” it was on sometimes when I was a kid and i was born in 88. Pretty sure it is from the generations from before mine. It was really old when I was a kid. So I can’t really remember what it was about, it was before my time, never watched it much.
Esky - Cooler for drinks and food
Whacker - Wanker (which we also say)
Knockers - Boobs
Up the Duff - Pregnant (E.G. Shazza is up the duff)
Chunder - Vomiting or Throwing Up
Spewin’ - to spew is to throw up, but if you are spewin’ it means you are upset. (E.G. I’m spewin’ that didn’t go my way)
I got the Skippy series on DVD for my kids to watch, it is so hammy.
Skippy was aired 1968 - 1970 originally but the re-runs have been seen many times over and to each and every commonwealth country as well as some others as well. There were plenty of memes about it, skippy would communicate in clicks and his owners could translate into all kinds of weird and wonderful stories. "tut tut tut tut... what's that Skip, there's a man fallen in the ravine with a compound fracture? tut tut tut tut... We need to move quickly? We can follow you and you will show us? Right on it Skip." That kind of thing, it was pretty cheesy even for those days, haha.
:D I love this series!
I don't think I've seen this before, but it was brilliant! Absolutely hilarious 😂
You have to watch more of these, they are bloody hilarious 😂✌️
What do you call a Boomerang that doesn't come back? A: A stick. Why did the Koala fall out the tree? A: It got hit by the stick....Dad jokes I love em 😄
As you can see from the comments we Aussies do not mind jokes being made at our expense, it is part of our culture not to take ourselves that seriously as other cultures do. But as history has proven, Aussies will fight for what is right, always and add our humour to the mix.
Ryan speaking of boomerangs. You know those old school school wooden rulers, all of them 12 inches long, well if you tie them together in an X shape and throw them they will come back, You need a wide open space though. Yes it really works.
I've watched this a few times over the years & it still brings a smile to my face.
If anyone gets offended they should watch it.
"what is the Australian beer called?" - anything but Fosters
I've seen another ep of this and I am in tears thanks to laughing.. Thanks Ryan 😆👍🍺
Bro I love this series "Australians" haha
Ryan, this series is priceless, and I hope that you react to all the episodes. I especially love ep 4.
Another funny series to watch is Bush Mechanics. It's a few aboriginals that travel though the Outback in a beaten up car. It's s comedy too so you can laugh at it 😂
What a great show. They were so resourceful when fixing stuff (all the time) but relaxed & funny too. Black As was a similar type of show & just as good
Lesson 1: Laugh at everything (as long as you find it funny).
It was a great video.
I've seen the whole series, it's hilarious. Watch all the episodes.
That was hilarious. Laugh your arse (ass) off Ryan as that vid was a real comedy.
Im an Aussie and I’ve never seen this either. It’s hilarious! 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣 🤣
This whole series was funny as I just love how they were takin piss out of both the Indians and us Aussies
This show is fantastic you should watch the full series. It's brilliant.
This is fairly accurate 👍
These are Indian-Australians taking the piss outta Aussie culture. Absolutely hilarious comedy!
That was f*ck'n hilarious! I need to check that channel out 😂 They take the piss so well 🤣
Laugh at all of it, Ryan ... we do 🤣
Laugh at the lot, this was made by Aussies 💥🤣👍😉...watch em all, Ryan!
Think of reverse of APU from the Simpsons - sarcasm back at the Aussies & we all laugh together.
Bloody heck, how have I not heard of this before XD
Throwing boomerangs is a skill. Git gud, mate.
It's fine to laugh. This bloke clearly understands, and embraces, Aussie humour
I'd love to see more of these. Fuckn funny
You need to watch it again with an Aussie explaining all of the subtleties they put in there. That's what made it funny. For example, at 2:21, the guy with the pie graph was using a kangaroo paw as a pointer.
Australian humor has a very unique character, this show, and a movie called 'The Castle' are both excellent examples. The best Australian humor is dry, sarcastic and self-deprecating.
This is hilarious and so on point
It’s also a crack at the fact that most tech companies in Australia have their call centres in India and they are taught to TRY and sound Australian and know about our culture (never going to happen). It’s become a bit of a joke as when you ring for tech help you can’t understand a bloody thing because of the Indian accents. It can be quite funny but also extremely frustrating. 😂😂
A comic send-up of Indian colleges training call-centre workers. There are 1 million Indians living in Australia - migrants, students and permanent residents. I have seen many of these and they are really funny.
Please watch the rest this series is hilarious!
This series is hilarious. Yes, it is made for Aussies to laugh at ourselves. No, I doubt it's been on TV.
You may not realise but the setting is an Indian call centre, and the staff are being trained to speak Australian so they can take calls. Many of our big companies such as telecommunications and others use Indian call centres as the labour is cheap. You’ve got to have a giggle when a man with a strong Indian accent takes your call and says his name is Bob 😂
The whole series is utter gold, watch the rest!
Also, 'taking the piss' is a fine Australian tradition that this show utterly nails, being worried about laughing at the content is your USAnian sensibilities interfering with the comedy :P
Make sure to keep watching! Laugh all you want the shows hilarious😂
Jimmy Grant = Immigrant is a particular type of slang called rhyming slang where the second word rhymes with the word it's replacing ... like dead horse = [tomato] sauce, or Pat Malone = alone, Captain Cook = look, or pork pie = lie (usually shortened to porky or porkies, as in "stop telling me porkies" means stop telling me lies etc.)
They do a whole episode on the rhyming slang, and hilariously none of the white Aussies understands a word of it
Australian's adore people taking the piss...we can laugh at ourselves, something many nations can't do. Loved this! :)
There is a series of these, really funny taking the piss out of us.
I love this.. they are basically indian Australian comedians taking the piss out of their native selves and Australia at the same time. 😅🤣
Loved it! More please!
No Australian finds this series offensive, it's just too damn funny. There are so many subtle injokes and stereotypical references that just make it. My fave is the cockatoo they called "chopper". 😂 Embrace this series Ryan, it's just brilliant!
Hahaha! These are hilarious 🤣🤣
Please react to more of these guys 🤣
Thanks man brilliant video. Never heard of this mob before. But I'm just an old Aussie. 😂
Mate, this fuckin bloke is spot on.
I think they may be in Perth, Western Australia. Please watch more of this, they are awesome.
Seen all of them Ryan , and what laugh - They are taking the mickey out of us - Best wishes from OZ ...
Ya gotta watch the whole series mate 🤣🤣🤣
I am Australian and lived in the country (i.e. not in a city) for all but 6 months of my life. Haven't heard some of those words before. Jimmy Grant, Galoot? Never heard of them before. If you throw the boomerang into the wind, it does come back but catching it can be hazardous.
My grandma always used to say"Dont just stand there looking like a great galoot, do something."
I loved it . More of that please.
This video is awesome... laughed so hard. 🤣😂🤣
Ryan - laugh all you want... we used to have tv shows like this before the "politically correct" dopes took offense at everything..
Thanks for the memories
Cheers from Australia 🙂
Ohh mate these are Aussie legends
First time I saw this (some years ago), I nearly split myself laughing. After seeing all the episodes, my ribs hurt for days. Clever “taking the piss” humor, you have to rewatch to catch all the little bits.
It's a comedy mate and piss funny
Oh man that was hilarious. There have to be more episodes of this! I'm definitely going to check it out. 😂
These videos are brilliant! You need to watch more 🤣
Will tune in for the other episodes :)
It's an Indian call center training their staff to understand the way we speak. It's actually taking the piss out of us and the way we talk when you think about it.
I could not stop laughing mate!
