Don't forget to bring a cork hat.
Warren552011 i can't believe in America, that's actually a name...
I'm coming
well certainly a better reaction than a turk would get at Cronulla beach.
lostalex77 do not
"What really turned me on about your country was a movie, Kangaroo jack"
*silence*
"You disgust me"
HHAHAHAH OMG not that movie
I was hoping he said Mad Max 😂
Australia is a very safe and clean country. People r friendly. Love it so much.
SAFE? R U kidding? Have you heard about some of our dangerous beasts? Half of us wouldn't stay here and put up with it, if we weren't married to em.
!!YES HONEY... BE RIGHT THERE!!
@@skepticusmaximus184beast? Omg a spider isn't going to hurt you
@@skepticusmaximus184calm down 🤦♀️
@@donna6592 WTF? Are you an irony impaired idiot, who doesn't understand humour? 🤪
@@shaneekabatty-cross Are you another complete moron who can't read and understand a joke that a 5yr old would comprehend? I didn't say anything about spiders, wasn't serious in any way and made it clear (with tongue fully inserted in cheek) that the dangerous creature was the spouse. Either GTFU OR STFU idiot.
I assure you as an Australian, that after six months of travel all over the USA, the VAST MAJORITY of Americans can not tell the difference between an Australian accent and a British accent. This does NOT make them stupid. Most Americans are rarely exposed to both (esp Aussie accents) and therefore it's perfectly understandable that they struggle to tell the difference.
If you frequently hear Aussie and British accents it's easy to tell. If you haven't, they can definitely sound similar.
And Canadians
No excuses
Only uneducated people can't tell the difference
@@Snoop_Dugg
There’s a way to differentiate Canadian accents to American ones, when Canadians say the word about, it’s sounds like “ a boat”.
@@SR-xk8cd oh sorry, I was too vague.
I meant that even Canadians cannot differentiate between a typical Aussie and British Accent.
they dont know the diffrence between crocodile dundee and david attenborough
"Im gunna shoot through to maccas this arvo" Hahahaha that is definitely something we say 😂
Bugga Macca's mate. Hungry's is thuh go bro.
never left australia before but can guarantee I know more about america than they do about us.
leeman401 Really? Give an example then.....
Yes. I know your president is Obama and that you have freedom of speech and right to bare arms on your constitution as amendments. Thats just the obvious though. Without researching, what is our prime ministers name and name some of australias amendments?
Anyone could know that, it's more or less global knowledge the prime minister of Australia, ect, maybe not so much. , not to sound arrogant or anything. Tell me though, how did Wall Street get its' name, or which US amendment ended slavery? What year was the Treaty of New Echota signed and who was Brigham Young?
No my point was as i said in the question is i know MORE about america then most americans do about australia. You say everyone knows that. EXACTLY, think about why everyone would know that. American media is everywhere. Thats why everyone knows this stuff that it has become common knowledge now.
Isn't that what I just said? So it's no great accomplishment, which makes your insult pretty lame.
"I can barely speak English" boiiii
Wallaby = Armadillo
Elephant = Potato
I'm Australian and i have never seen the movie Kangaroo Jack....
Okay I'm Filipino, I'm working on my Aussie accent because I do really love that kind of accent. So can anybody tell me what was the phrase he said, at 0:32? :)
i've never heard of Kangaroo Jack
Jerielle Davin He said "I'm gonna shoot through later this arvo" which means "I'm going to go to your place later this afternoon" I've lived in Australia for 6/7 years now.
Warren552011
ok because I wasn't planning on watching it so...
0:59 he just made himself sound more American😂
Australian Accent: Exists
Americans: *is this british?*
"You disgust me"
Don't mention that movie to Australians
We absolutely HATE kangaroo jack
James Bond Just because it has a kangaroo in it, doesn't mean it is Australian. It was put together by Warner Bros in the US but was based in Australia because it's a stereotype.
I never said that movie was australian
Oh sorry it's just hard to determine what you mean, I thought you were saying it in a negative way, My apologizes.
That's Ok
James Bond haha i think its pretty funny, but yeah speak for us all why don't ya.
Its been yonks since Australia had a talk show.
Bring back Rove live.
👍🤓👍🇦🇺
I can clearly tell the difference between Australian and English bc I love both accents
yenelly tejada gold star for you!
Now see how funny English goes. In Bhartiya English bc is the short form for Bhenchod meaning SISTERFUCKER 😂🤣😂😂
When that girl said England made me laugh as a Brit. I often got mistaken for being Australian whilst in America
I find it very easy to tell the difference between Australian, British, Scottish, and Irish accents. I guess living in a city such as San Francisco, and it being such a melting pot made it easier to decipher the intonations of the speaker. I love the Australian people. They are very warm and easy to talk to and always interested in what you have to say. I think the cutest thing I heard was a child telling his mom, "Be gum Mum, me bum's numb." and "It looks like you got the rough end of the pineapple." So there you have it. No worries mate.
wow, you seem very impressed with yourself... how very American of you.
lostalex77 That's interesting, what makes you say that?
@@lostalex776 years on and this comment is still making people laugh
travelling through Europe i met a chic from Maryland and she was surprised to hear i was Australian - despite my accent, she said she thought i was from the midwest - strange...
I'm from Australia and I love Americans.
But Aussies don,t like British people,thats why I would never visit Australia.Its off my list for places to travel.
I'm so mad she doesn't know what a Wallaby is!
American accents are just so adorable! the good thing about being Australian, is that when we do want to go full Auzzie... we can, unlike lots of Americans
Well if you walked up to me, I'd know most of it. I'd be alright with the accent too :) I try to learn the Aussie slang. When he said Maccas I was like, "Mc Donalds" hehehehehe
"Classy Jersey, thank you very much" lol
0:42 - Rebel Wilson. Lol
"You disgust me" Line of the century. Lmao. Rove for President!
As an American I do find this quite humorous. I do not believe this to hurt Americans the same we our comedians poke at other countries for they're lack of knowledge of us. All of us have a tendency to stereotype. Cheers!
This is amazing, I might actually try and see if I can get the old rove episodes now.
I love rove ... what a crack up
I was born in Australia and moved to USA when I was 14 for some work. People often ask if I am British
Something very interesting that I've noticed is that you can frequently tell if an American is black by his voice alone. But not if they're Australian. I've heard some young black Aussie guys in their early 20's who came here as refugee's from Africa in their teens without any English, and now they sound as Aussie as the next guy without a hint of their heritage.
Because in America sounding "normal" means sounding "white", God forbid. Whites, Asians, Indians, and most Latinos all sound pretty indistinguishable here; but like you said most blacks talk in ebonics or with some sort of twang from it. I don't know where you stand political but I think this is bad for establishing a nation identity, but great if you are a black Marxist. So imagine what even the media wants people to think about ebonics?
"It's like an armadillo right?"
God, if only they showed Rove's face after that. XD
I put this clip on my university presentation for my sociology unit about “Culture shock in Australia” and I got a high distinction for that presentation.... Thank you Rove!
So you did nothing and got a high distinction wonderful!
that water bit was funny
i bet they can't tell the difference between a kiwi and an aussie either....
Im american and i can? Lol. Kiwis are from NZ and an Aussie is from australia. They hate each other for whatever reason but they're right next to eachother. Yes sir I'm american.
Zoba LikesNutella o.o We don't hate each other. xD
dj break Lol, it really seems like it but okay I guess..
Zoba LikesNutella we only hate each other when it's rugby season ;)
Isabell DeRaps GragonSlayer Lol okay that makes more sense
"Im gunna shoot through to maccas this arvo" - Im going to quickly go to mcdonalds this afternoon XD.
Alot of Americans know nothing about Australian Culture or our accent. But they get one thing right. "How ya gaaarn?" is said pretty much all over Australia, haha ^.^
I'm Australian, this is hilarious :)
Wallabies are armadillos? That just made me laugh so so so hard.
When he said "You disgust me" and walked away lol
And I love my Aussies
It's wahtrr!
No, it's wawdah!
I've seen people answering wrong on quizzes about geography. Go Rove!
the end is the best part
No one knows how much l love America
@thekujayhawkman Australians actually know a lot about the USA because we see it and hear it in movies, television, music, newspapers and magazines EVERY day. Whereas, in the US you mostly hear about only the US every day. It is called an insular society.
Lol at the "Classy Jersey" chick. Looks exactly like on South Park
It's true what Rove says, even about geography in general
Yeah, that Kangaroo Jack movie was really awesome. Bought the DVD it was so good. Lol.
Quite well, thanks for asking!
the funniest thing about crocodile dundee is that the most famous line "put another shrimp on the barbee", we don't even call them shrimp, we call them prawns
As a new migrant in Australia, I would say the Aussie culture is a lot more eastern than one might incline to think.
Well... apart from the slangs I guess.
Being from Australia and watching this is a pisser!! I miss Rove so much!! He's still funny though =)
hahaha the older gent at the end, he seems nice
1:02 the HULK going for a casual stroll..
I miss RoveLive!
Priceless.
I live in Australia, I love Australia, and I cant believe they have never heard of this, jeez its like bloody the vampire diaries with out damon :)
Haha the Hulk casually walking past them? :D
there should be more videos like this :'D
Wallaby=armadillo I’m actually dying
1:00 such a fucking crack up hahahaha
yes there are a lot of video's like that, but an equal amount in the opposite direction, this video isn't even dissing or making intentional fun of americans its just showing how little they know of Australia. But the really fun is reading and replying to people who post comments like they have sticks up their arses, example a) yourself
Have a nice day
Ever been to Hollywood Boulevard? There are heaps of people there who dress in costumes
I agree.
Kangaroo Jack got that guy all hot n heavy lol
LMAO 1:04 the Hulk is just shootn through
I'm a kiwi and this is FUCKIN hilarious
Can't blame them, our accent is hard to understand
Not to mention we abbreviate or shorten 70% of what we say
'Australian' English is very lazy when it comes to pronouncing
LostWordsAt2am Us Strayans are very proud of the way we've destroyed the English language!
There is a reason behind it also. So dont turn your nose up on your background and our culture. Remember the convicts hated the English and wanted nothing to do with them, so they didnt want to be associated with English even if most were Irish, lol. Also to stop the English Prison Guards from understanding them what they were saying. Another reason is to stop flies, dust etc going into your mouth when speaking. So hot here and to finish a sentence faster than you can say Cooweee. lol
@@Mav_F Do you have any studies or research to back that up? Also only about 20% of Australians have a convict ancestor so this idea of hating the English is very odd. English is also the largest ethnicity in Australia to this day. We have a sports rivalry and enjoy banter but the UK is probably Australia's closest country after NZ.
The Australian accent(s) is commonly understood to have developed from an amalgamation of British accents, for example general and broad Australian have a lot of similarities and are often confused with Cockney and Estuary. Cultivated Australian, and perhaps people mainly from South Australia who pronounce words dance like "dahnce" can be seen to be much closer to modern RP English. Australian's also lack a rhotic r, which is common in America, Ireland and West England.
The Australian accent did not develop due to a dislike of the English, otherwise we wouldn't sound so much like them, or the fact most Australians have English ancestry. The rest about prison guards and flies sounds like bollocks to be fair, but you might be joking.
@@bloat1235 The Aussie accent and slang came from the children of the convicts. Because the mixed nationalities etc and slang changed the accent to what the country Australians sound like, the true blue accent. Now our accents, are mixed with other cultures and aren't as strong but still noticeable. The Adelaide people do pronounce the words the proper British way. If you listen to anyone from Melbourne and Sydney they almost sound the same with a slightly different tone. You can hear it if you listen correctly. They say their words the same.
There were a few documentaries on this many many years ago.
It was the children who started the slang so the soldiers didn't understand what they were saying or referring to. The accent followed as they were from different backgrounds with different accents.
Like today with so many different accents in Australia now, our accent is changing, mine has since I started working in the city.
LOL at random Hulk in the background at 1:04!
LOL the american audience didn't understand why it was funny when the chick said a wallaby is like an armadillo
No shit come back Rove, we miss you boy
The rest of the uk is already here mate, so you might as well come on over.
Vote Rove McManus for Most Popular Presenter! Logie Awards!
I'm American, This was funny...
I live in Nye,Texas. I got interested in Australia because I watched the movie and series Wolf creek, which immediately got me interested in Australia.But I don't really know Australia. Will it be dangerous for foreign tourists like in movies and series Wolf creek ?😅😅😅😅
Wolf Creek is the site of a meteorite crater.
Also, the entire thing was like 30 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. I don't even know why you're arguing, I'm not even saying Australians aren't racist. I'm just saying that that specific word isn't a widely used one, we have other racist words.
LOL@your last line of words...
I'm American, and I know more about Australia and the Aussie accent than these people, despite the fact that I haven't visited there yet! I wonder if any Aussies say phrases like "Smashing baby!" Or "Bugger!" Here's one I came up with: Just a sec mate, I gotta bloody slam the loo! I've created an Aussie phrase saying "Hold on (or excuse me) man( or my friend or whatever), I gotta go to the bathroom really badly!" I wouldn't be surprised if they say this!
I used to assume Austria was a short word for Australia and I thought Australian's geographical position was in Europe.
Nah people. Seriously Rove is just "takin the piss." He's far from serious. It is just a joke. Please don't take it seriously. I'm Australian and I have American friends. No problem at all.
Uh I think that's a bit of a generalisation. I'm Australian and not only have I been to America but I met some beautiful people who I'm still great friends with. There are as many people in Australia who dislike America as there are people in America who dislike Australians. The only people not worth the effort are the one's to generalise an entire country.
I've watch Kangaroo Jack, AND the Crocodile Dundee movies.... So, I know pretty much all there is to know about Australia... :)
@lostalex77 lots of australian have a lot of land
in fact my dad has 10 acres
australian culture doesn't allow for lots of people cramped into 1 place, we love our space
Ha, ha, RUclips and the world at large is really uptight as Australians flourish and are so calm before the worlds bullshit.
My dad said that Aussies hate losing to poms and I'm half Pom so I am really confused about who to support in this world......... Love the poms!!!!!!! X)
And I can clearly tell the difference between an Australian accent from a British accent.
Actually I am an Australian, it's just extremely hard to judge sarcasm in text since you can't convey tone in text. So no, not an American, and yes I get sarcasm, it just a little hard in to judge in text written by a person you've never met.
"Is there such thing as Classy Jersey"
"Ohmahgawsh yesss, you're looking at it!"
x""D
Wtf Kangaroo Jack LMFAO.
To all the Australians saying Americans are ignorant. You fail to see that in north America we don't get to see any of your TV shows/media/news. However in Australia from what I've heard 90% of the media is american. So obviously you're going to know about America. The same way I can say you guys are ignorant about India. Can you differentiate between the south Asian accents? That's my point.
Americans are ignorant as fuck. I went to visit and someone asked me if I was French.
1) I actually have more knowledge about India than the people in this video did about Australia. Also, why India as an example? Is it because they are a different culture to you? How can that be used as a comparison to Australia when both Australia and America are Western. No culture differences.
2) Knowing accents in your own language totally different to doing it in another. You would have to be a fluent speaker of the language in question. However in this case we both speak English so there wouldn't be a problem if you knew what you were looking for. But by giving Asia as a comparison, you are saying we are as foreign to you as they are. Which we are not.
Now, a better example would be Scottish and Irish. Though that still wouldn't be affective because I can tell the difference, even though I don't hear it that often. Bad example. Although on that point I have about as much exposure to the Scottish in media as you do to Australia, yet I still make sure I have knowledge of them, so 'media exposure' can't be an excuse either.
Again, I don't think you're a bad person for not knowing the difference between me and a cockney, I mean, I can't blame you we come from there. I don't even care if you don't know who the prime minister is. Even if I like to keep up to date with the goings-on of the world, you don't have to. It doesn't effect you so why bother. What isn't good is your attitude that 'It's not on tele so how am I meant to know about it?' Dude, you have so many resources at your disposal to find out so much information. Even if you don't know the difference between Australia and New Zealand, or that Tasmania actually exists, or how we speak. I don't care. Just don't go saying it's not your fault you're ignorant to geography out side of America, because you have ample opportunity to do so if you wish.
Sorry for being so harsh Yalus, I just don't like it when people blame their ignorance on 'forces they can't control' when they can just do a little Google and BAM. Knowledge that ain't TV. Fascinating.
That, my friends, is my point.
Warren552011
Oh my god that episode. It was sooooo bad and not even funny. Just stereotypes that I had never even heard of. But, it's the Simpsons. They do that do everything, shouldn't get to worried about.
What about the news? is there never ever anything about what happens in Australia or other countries?
In Australia we are exposed to a lot of american tv shows and I can imagine there would be no Australian shows in America, there's barley any on our own tv. I could count on my fingers the amount of aussies shows lol! But we do hear and have news reports about america and other countries. Personally, I think it's a good thing to know whats happening around the world, even if we are so isolated.
When I visited California, I was generally shocked at how little people knew about Australia and I know it's not all, people cannot be fixed into a box, but every single person I talked to about Australia literally knew nothing. Hadn't even heard of Sydney or Melbourne. I got asked questions if I we have the internet here (pretty sure were taking the piss, still-annoying) . People would say oh I would love to visit Australia, so I would ask what they knew about Australia and nothing!
Americans always ask me when I'm coming to visit, but not often do I hear them saying they want to visit Australia. Not once at all have I met an American who knows anything about Australia. To me as an outside perspective looking in from what I have experienced it just seems like American generally don't know much about whats outside their country or care at all. (Said with no hostile)
at least we don't have school shootings because we don't allow guns
That kangaroo jack comment broke my heart.
HAHAHA YES ROVE CALLIN MCDONALDS MACCAS
@DoctorWong1979 no they don't?
Come back Rove :(
I'm Australian, This was funny...
haha... omg so reminds me i was chatting to this guy online. he was american... He asked me if i lived in the outback! LOLOL! i was like is that joke or a serious question? he was like no iam serious!
Anyone else see the hulk casually walking past at 1:04?
good point ^^''
Wallaby like an Armadillo? Such a clever nation...
The comments on this video.... just... yeah. I'm just going to laugh because as an aussie, that's my natural defence mechanism.
