"dingos plus animals equals just dingos"
"something about the rabbits being able to jump"
lmfao dude
"That's longer than 2 football fields."
Actually that's a common misconception. When Americans say the phrase "longer than a football field", they actually mean that it's longer than an average field filled with American footballs. The normal American football is about 27.94 cm. The average American field is 2.5 acres.
It's also longer than 4 bathtubs.
And like 25 dingos
StayFrosty wut
i still dont understand
"The fence is 3,488 miles long. Thats longer than two football fields"
Me, out loud: You dont say
That's longer than 60000 football fields.
I literally laughed out loud at when he said that! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I thought it was funny personally
Gotta appreciate the hints of subtle humour.
@Shivam Joshi Thanks. I was confused on what HAI was talking about until you put it in units I can understand.
"It's 3488 miles long. That's longer than two football fields".
You know what I think it is just about
Only slight
@@howardbaxter2514 yeah not much more than about a few yards
"That's longer than 2 football fields" xd
Robbie E IKR XDD
or 15 1/2 Toyota Corollas
Taking potshots at typical US media measurement scale
spagget!
i mean he's not wrong tho
3,488 miles > 2 football fields
I had no idea
kg583 Who knew?
I knew

american football field, you mean the version of football that they with their hands instead of their foot?
Did somebody say *Handball?*
Australia: I'm making a wall and make the animals paid for it.
Emu: No
*emu war*
Australia: Ok, I'm paying for it.
Y'all are Lucky the emus didn't annex the territory
"Shuts down the government until it's properly funded"
@@catchamp1880 They did, they took pretty much the entire inland area of Australia and left us with the coastline to a depth of about 100km inland. They just made the wrong decision because that area is dry as fuck boi.
@@mattnorris7124 you sounded smart until you said "dry as fuck boi"
@@beard6329 he sounded dumb UNTIL he said "dry as fuck boi"
I’m Australian and I went to the dingo fence and it’s like only 1 meter high
Sebatron, you guys don’t exist
You probably only went to part with you bloody dingo fence, Ya drongo: I have see a lot of the fence and it is higher than a metre. Desert sand drifts bury the fence in some places. That's part of the cost of the fence maintenance.
Because its designed for rabbits ya boob
Pierce H they made it bigger
@@tripledotdash at least you are not adressing Sebastian Cunningham.
that fence just got 10' taller
"The fence- is immense."
Well, that's just common sense.
@Shivam Joshi why am I the only person to like this so far
"it spans 3,488 miles long"
"thats longer than two football fields"
me: omg really???!!!
*look of confusion*
@Shivam Joshi :0 those are some cool calculations. Can I eat all 259K burgers now?
Where was this technology when the Emu war was being fought?!
oh it was part of a super duper very highly secret project named Project Sydney, like the Manhattan Project but the other way round. So you see, can't use it without being sure right
Nuke the Emu.
Then North Korea
One nuclear test site used in Australia was Emu Field. I wonder why...
Emu's are too smart for fences. They beat the Australian military in open battle, I don't think a fence will do much of anything to stop those huge birds.
It was with ww1 tech but only guns and 3 people
3:21: “It stretches almost 3,488 miles. That’s longer than 2 football fields!”
Cherry the Skrublord lmao
Lmfao
well technichly that is right
“They literally had a war against emus”
**and lost**
Me: Wow.
There is a video on oversimplified about it.
and one from Sam O'nella.
And one from Simple History
And one
fyi, it was not literally a war
Australia built a fence and they have almost no Mexicans.
This is why our mexican food sucks
Only mildly successful in keeping Queenslanders out tho
Why would you sail thousands of miles when you can illegally enter the country above you
@@timmtheilig6827 It was meant to keep east germans in.
@@DiggityDaws thats because you arent supposed to put vegimite on tacos mate.
Getting "Squarespaced" is almost as bad as getting "rick rolled" - he gets me everytime
And there's a bit of the actual video in the middle of the ad to catch you out while scrubbing across the timeline looking for the end.
M P up!
I disagreed. There is a worse thing than getting Squarespaced. I have compiled a list: ruclips.net/video/oHg5SJYRHA0/видео.html
permanent and can't be changed later
Guys do not click the link, I’ve made a sacrifice to save others. You will be rickrolled.
“The fence is 3,488 miles long. That’s larger than two football fields” haha
We don't talk about the """"Emu War"""" down here.
So why did AU lose?
@@anawesomepet Well basically it all started with the big sad that made Australia's economy commit not living, and there was also a giant red ball of fire in the sky burning everything up, so we couldn't even pay for the coffin of Australia's economy. Emus decided that it was the time to strike, and their spies sabotaged our equipment. Two machine guns jammed up at around the same time, so not enough of them died. That's all I know about it. There was also something else about mermaids paying them to take us down while they spied on us from rivers and ponds and oceans and stuff.
As an Australian, I love having everything I already know explained in depth to me
Are the fences made out of bricks that are 9 inches by 4 1/3 inches by 3 inches?
DNVIC lol, I see what ya did there
DNVIC Alright now it's safe, wanna buy some drugs guys?
Urho Drinks Water yes, they will never suspect to find us here
Yes, bricks transported in a Toyota Corolla
could someone explain please?
Hot damn that ad transition. But you know what's also hot? Squarespace.
Can I use it to make my website about saving the Dingo?
Get out
Oh yes totally.
Don't know why people are still surprised.
He does this each time.
The only way dingos can get on the other side, is dig a tunnel. And you know what also goes through tunnels? Bears! But not just any bears...
If you hover over the thumbnail the frames that pop up read:
"This fence southeast decrease feast, caprice? Good."
"Were gunna build a fence , and make tazmania pay for it"
Fuckin Tasmanians
I’m from Tasmania and offended jk lol he forgot Tasmania in the vid
brock lesnerd,, I don’t wanna pay... ;(
We did, it was just more of a trench than a fence, it's full of water and it's called the Bass Strait, and we also didn't -build- _dig_ it
no Taxmania
The sarcasm just keeps getting better and better
Barely longer than two football fields.
Damn, those are some big football fields. Those Australians are so tough they need to run mega-marathons to get a down.
Lenard Segnitz You mean a try?
The two football fields are 320 ft (The video says it), but that's still smaller than the fence ;)
Joshua Cooper Yeah... something like that. I don't follow football or rugby so I have no idea of the terminology.
“Nah, I am not doing it again”
Me: Aaarghh why??? Again again (need to hear more rhymes)
Girl: has litteral bites that even a insane person wouldnt do
The jury and the judge: *human kinda sus trust me*
@Big Boppa wow, that adds more bullshit for american justice system
“That’s longer than two football fields.”
The Helmaroc King Reminds me of the time he told us his shirt was less expensive than a helicopter.
that's comedic gold!
It's not funny. It's simply true.
This video is in Australia's deFENCE...
Ba
Dum
Tch
shhh
EMU SPY SPOTTED! GET EM BOYS
In Australia, most of us don't use the term 'Ayer's Rock', as that's not the original name and can be disrespectful; that's what the Brittish settlers renamed the rock before giving the possession of the rock and the title back to the traditional Aboriginals of the area in 1985. I (and many other people) call it Uluru, which means 'Giant Pebble' in the native language of the Anangu people who primarily speak Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara. (sorry if I got any information wrong)
0:31 would make a good rap song
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is "retarded" or "evil."
Ben Huang you're just a child that's never known sanity in the world. I almost pity you.
WIFIGHOST CRUISER Close-minded nonsense

WIFIGHOST CRUISER
So you're saying that everyone who disagrees with you doesn't have a brain?
The perfect example of gatekeeping.
The distance from North Korea to Norway is roughly 7,500 miles.
That's longer than two football fields.
Both countries border Russia.
+Boomdigity Fascinating, It never occurred to me!
That’s about 1 Russia.
I mean, you're not wrong
No shit sherlock
I love the football field line.
clf400 ii
Is this where trump got his inspiration?
Ryan M. probaby hadrian, the chinese or, my favorite, the westerosi
lmao
It's a fence...
Merple Turple it’s a tall vertical structure that keeps the foreigners out...
I think he drew inspiration from the isrealian border wall
“i’m jk i’m not doing this again” 😭😭
3:20 "It stretches 3,488 miles long. That's longer than two football fields"
I'm fucking dying right here.
Andrés Pardo Francisco bad sense of humor
Over used joke
When's a Great Dingo War coming
They already learned their lesson from the Emus
You have the world worrying about WW3 with North Korea and here we are worrying about the next animal-human Civil War...
Sulthan14 their ancient Emu allies have all been removed from power,when hunters came to collect their bounties
I hear there may be a war with the Australian Water Buffalos on the horizon.
I don't know where, I don't know who will be fighting, but it's coming.
2:00 finally I see my country around lmao, we feel appreciated.....well sort of😐😂
3:22
Pure gold !!!
3,488miles long. That's lonnger than two football fields.
But did they make the dingos pay for it?
well dingos are not sending their best
jur4x "some of them, I assume, are good dogs"
Dude your RUclips game is so on point! Videos are equal parts entertaining and educational
Ali Syed and sarcastic
Sneaky Dab Emoji I didn’t say nothing about that.
"This fence is immense." I heard that.
man your funny still while being very informative and interesting. i love your channels
Never expected to laugh so much at a video about a dingo fence
Is longer than... 30 Toyota Corolla
Or 1000 toyota corollas
But is it? *music starts*
its as along as the boeing 787...
This is probably the funniest and most subtle Half as interesting video I've ever watched.
-Makes video about australia
-Says they're terrible people
-uses Miles
-doesn't know that 3,488 miles is more then 2 football fields
11/10
would watch again
than*
3:23 Absolutely genius
Dommi1405 i
"This is longer than 2 football fields" I laughed so hard
Also, make an episode about the emu war!
Felixkeeg I like Detective Conan
No way, like 5 years ago when I was into Minecraft I always saw you in the comment section under Sparks videos... then i lost interest and watched these science videos like kurzgesagt, cgp grey... and here you are again lol

Na das ist ja witzig^^ Das war noch in der Zeit, als ich noch in der Schule war, mittlerweile bin ich im 5. Semester an der Uni :D
Ich bin mittlerweile auch mehr unter den ganzen Wissenschaftskanälen wie NileRed und Cody'sLab und so weiter unterwegs.
Check Sam O'Nella's video on it. And all his other videos.
A Emu war about fighting the WA government. Need to amaze the yanks 🙄
*hits Vegemite*
We're gonna build a wall, it's gonna be a big, beautiful wall, and the dingoes will pay for it. Make Australia great again.
you are awesome. I cant understand how incredible your videos are. Half as interesting is completely unique channel. Your sense of humour is next level. Every single video is absolutely amazing. Dont ever stop
That’s longer than 2 football fields!! Well you’re not wrong... 😂

“If you overlay the density of dingos ..... it is economically sound”.
Honestly never thought I’d hear that😂😂 great vid👍🏼
*All hail Squarespace*
Also you should check out "The Great Emu war" by Sam O'Nella Academy. It's hilarious
Daniel Gonzalez also The Great Emu War by the Today I Found Out RUclips channel. Good stuff.
*crapping on crops and cropping on craps*
Worth the watch, Thanks.
Bradley Irving crabbing on the docks
agreed, i was on the floor diying while watching that.
man, I just started watching your videos and wow. the subtlety of the funny things.... I love it
As an Australian, can confirm that we have a long history of fighting animals. As mentioned, we have fought emus, dingos and rabbits, but also foxes that were meant to hunt the rabbits, but didn’t, Tasmanian tigers that we made extinct because they attacked our sheep, cane toads because they were meant to kill the cane beatle, but killed snakes, and also many other animals including, but not limited to: dung beetles, camels, buffalo, feral cats, brumbies (wild horses) and wild pigs.
Anyone notice how this vid is significantly more comedic than the rest of his vids? Tbh this is the best vid he ever made (including Wendover production)
Mohd Adlan truth. I had to check again if this is the same person from wendover coz this is a funny video.
Are they the same person?
Yes In fact they are. This is his new channel
3488 miles is indeed longer than 2 football fields
I liked the part where he drew the fence over and over and over again from a country top view.
i died when you reminded us the fence is longer than two football fields. i replayed that bit like 5 times before i processed how funny the joke is.
"That's longer than two football fields", I'll take that over a rump joke any day :)
I would love you to make a detailed movie on the Great Emu war!
That would be a big hit I think. Make it an animated kids cartoon :)
What? I thought it would be a gritty war documentary... Do you know how many good men died in the Emu War?
HAI has got to be the best channel on RUclips, I never laugh at informational videos as much as I laugh on these ones, 1:42 made me lose it 😂
FYI: "Dingo ate my Squarespace site" is a never realized sentence because of the quality of online management provided by said website building and hosting company.
That’s longer than two football fields 😂
CAPICHE?
Good 👍

Your videos are educative and funny and awesome.....You definitely deserve more subscribers and views and likes.
“That’s longer than two football fields”. That is one big ass fence.
3:59 Your transitions forever remain legendary
the emu wars
top 10 saddest anime conflicts
The thing people don't realize about the Emu Wars is that it was never really about the emus at all
Yea not about thenm
Paul Gemperlein Isn't that true about most wars? It's never about the people who truly suffer in them...
You're right, most wars were never really about the emus at all.
You pronounce emu as emew and yes, we lost to them. All political decision in our country now have to be run past a board of elite emus that control all aspects of our lives. Quite humiliating really.
Is it weird that I feel kind of proud whenever someone who isn't Australian mention Australia.
"Don't let the dingo eat your baby"
Love the humor
Wendover Production is great, but ya know what's better? Squarespace.
Cormac Harrington jeez, I know! I get that they have to pay the bills somehow, but I'm starting to get a little tired of the forced segues into the damn ad!
10 million isn't much for a government the size if Australia, especially to solve such a severe problem. The fence amounts to about 0.00002% of Australias spendings.
Americans: “Dingo ate your baby?”
Australians: “Come on guys, that actually happened.”
*We’re gonna make Dingos pay for the wall*
I mean. They technically do.
10 ft higher!
Make a video about Bricks.
Nathan Roon Are you a secret government spy? Because the lwst vid he made is. If your not, you learn about JANET airlines.
I think he made a video about Lonzo Ball already
Yhe emergent groupbof countries?
Or planes. I'd like to know more about brick AND planes.
Planes made of bricks maybe?
Of course, the reason these cattle farms are so giant and immense is that there is hardly any vegetation for them to graze on, so they need as much land as they can to find enough food.
Your videos are hilarious and informative. Thanks for making them
The only way to cross this fence...
is taking a plane, of course.
Or some ladders
what about tunels
That's right, the EMUS won the Emu War. Sam O'Nella made an excellent video on the Great Emu War.
except it wasnt a war
3:09 IS A Joke
Man this must be a nightmare for Australia's more conscientious, goal-driven dingos.
I love your humor

Aka the rabbit proof fence

What if I told you that is a fence
1:55 wow! What a niche and unique topic. I hope HAI does a video on this very interesting factoid
They built a wall and made the dingos pay for it.
GET THIS ON TRENDING
Slice Tube What the actual fuck did you just type
Wow! Longer than 2 footbal fields?!
“That’s longer than 2 football fields”
Me an American: ah okay, damn that’s big!
you are having way too much fun making this. this channel is great
In a funny mood today aren't you?
By far your best video yet. Love the new style with the mild comedy! Good stuff dude, keep it up!
3:21 woah no way 'longer than two football fields'
I cannot believe you failed to channel Seinfeld with "the dingo ate your baby"
Is it bad that I prefer this channel to the main one?
heyits- alex Yes,
Yes It Is
which is the main one...???
Chitharanjan Sarvesan wendover
there is a main channel?
Me: waits for Donald Trump joke
HAI: I know you all are waiting for a Donald Trump joke, and you're not getting it.
