When I went to Beijing one year for an internship I met a bunch of Australians and Kiwis. Seriously the funniest people in the group. Their humor is strangely accessible for an American. Dry and witty like the brits, but goofy and lowbrow enough for a pleb like me.
that's the beauty of being Australian, we can take the jokes as well as we dish them out. Its never ending between us and the kiwis, but its all good. we both appreciate a good roasting.
I'm having fun reading all these comments about a supposed dislike between New Zealand. I'm Australian and there's an inherent kinsmanship between Australians and New Zealanders. We're definitely rivals when it comes to sports and stuff, but it's all in good fun.
It's like a sibling rivalry. We'll slag each other of but if any other nationalities mouth off about Kiwis it's a let's get the bastard situation for me.
ps I'm aussie and I love Flight of the Conchords. They used to come over to Australia and do the Comedy Festival circuit. This is funny cause it's good payback for Aussies making fun of NZ accents. Australians can appreciate a good comeback when they see one.
@@ultrademigod Um.... no. Russel Crowe is Kiwi. And that's about it. The other 2 guys in the skit were Aussies, but none of them famous. One of those 2 is a friend of mine, and a bloody champ, too.

Cellar door - check out the aussie singing comedy trio called Tripod - I think they are in a similar genre to FTOC - have a listen to 'gonna make you happy' and 'sweet Caroline' among many great songs
Aussies and Kiwis have a grudging respect for each other. The ANZAC bond runs deep, don't worry about that. I'm an Aussie that's lived there too. Same sense of humour and I was really surprised and pleased the hospitality we had in NZ. Funny as shit, Kiwis. Lot's of banter but all good.
I happen to be very proud of all my Kiwi mates and our ANZAC alliance. One of the most moving times of my life has been the combined ANZAC memorial service's at my workplace on the mines and the reading of The Ode' in Te Reo Maori. We can take the piss on everything but just remember...You pick on one, and you pick on two....The Kiwi and the Emu.
I love kiwi Aussie banter. I feel we take the piss out of each other, but as soon as someone thats, not Kiwi makes fun of Australians I get really defensive.
Murray is just priceless! heard this from a comedian: The Aussie accent is very similar to the Kiwi accent. The only difference is, with the Kiwi accent you smell like sheep.
I love the bit where Germaine wakes up in the Aussie chicks room and looks around at a men at work poster the Koala then the camera quickly zooms back from above showing him under an Aus flag Blanket shocking him.
As an Aussie do you mean the Cape Town one where they sound like they're singing or the Japie one where they sound hungry but angry they're too fat to get to the kitchen?
Missed out the bit where murray mentions to jemaine that he'll spend the rest of his life searching for the perfect wave. Always cracks me up that episode. Always had an affinity with kiwis cause they take the piss out of aussies like us "poms"
bahahahaha this is so amazing. "did she sound australian? australian accent?" - "yes. yes." - "what did it sound like?" - "kind of like an evil version of our accent." XD
Alan Dale! Betrayal! You're a Kiwi not an Aussie!!! haha. BTW World - please note that not all kiwis/aussies are haters. Most of us are cool with each other and love the banter - ignore the serious haters who comment on these things and clearly can't just have a bloody laugh. It's embarrassing seeing those sorts of comments uggggh
🔹️ As a Danish/ Scottish/German born Australian (born in Melbourne in 1965) who has been to Aotearoa numerous times (more than two dozen times), I can vouch for the validity, veracity & accuracy of this clip ✔👀👍❗🔹️
im a halfcast maori/white nz-er by blood but ive lived in aussie since i was about six. so im a austrealander, best of both worlds. i have a mixed accent and i love it.
As a kiwi, this is my mentality. Between us and Aussies, we may shit on each other all the time but when someone else comes into the picture like an American or a Brit.. We tend to easily band together against them lol. So we're like really hard core "Frenemies" :)
Alan Dale, who plays the Australian ambassador, is actually from New Zealand. THE IRONY!!! (Also, according to Wikipedia, he is married to a former Miss Australia. Not a Miss New Zealand.)
I think I speak for many Australians when I say that as much as we friendly-hate each other, New Zealanders would be the first people by our side if we needed it.
Aussies now say "yeah" at the end of a sentence, to show we agree with ourselves. I think it is to replace the usual upward inflection that implies uncertainty. It is a step towards actual confidence.
I'm British and I'm just now noticing the slight difference between the Aussie and New Zealand accents but only after watching this video alot.....alot!!!!😂
Love how you speak for every Australian. There's plenty of friendly rivalry going on with Australia and NZ, always has been. Just the other day for example, Aussies and Kiwis were duking it out in a compeition to see which country could create the biggest splash from bellyflopping into a pool... in Brisbane. You also can't say Aussies don't have a problem with Kiwis when there are a minority of folks in both countries who do take things past the 'joke' barrier.
Nah don't take these comments too seriously - you'll find most kiwis/aussies are cool/love the banter - but you're always gona get the real haters who choose to publicise their hate on sites like this. don't judge the rest of us based on these people!!!

As a Canadian I never knew of a NZ and Aus rivalry. The back and forth shots at each other are classic!
Love the “West Side Story” style dance bits in between
The funny thing is that Alan Dale (who plays the guy Murray complains to) is a New Zealand actor.
He also played Jim in Neighbours in the 1980s

This is one of my favourite episodes, we love Australians and nobody takes the piss out of us better
As an American, I love both accents. As a viewer of great characters, I LOVE Murray! Spoof of West Side Story is great.
I love the bit where Germaine wakes up in the Aussie chicks room and looks around at a men at work poster the Koala then the camera quickly zooms back from above showing him under an Aus flag Blanket shocking him.
Jemaine
And a South African accent is like an Australian accent, only evil-sounding.
+Sean L. What.........
As an Aussie do you mean the Cape Town one where they sound like they're singing or the Japie one where they sound hungry but angry they're too fat to get to the kitchen?
Gabriel Brennan Meaning there are degrees of evilness with the South Africans at the top.
I don't think they sound that much alike...
All just poor imitations of British accents, only not evil sounding enough.
Missed out the bit where murray mentions to jemaine that he'll spend the rest of his life searching for the perfect wave. Always cracks me up that episode. Always had an affinity with kiwis cause they take the piss out of aussies like us "poms"
Being Australia's Canada isn't that bad. It's better than being Australia's Mexico (Indonesia).

Well but it is worse in australia, they really dont care of whats consider politically correct :))
