The Almighty Johnsons was kino. It's not comedy, though it is funny, it's almost proto-capeshit.
Thor (a minor character) wields a standard claw hammer.
Where can you watch Mighty Boosh anyway? It's been pulled from streaming over "racism" or "transphobia" I thought. I can't even find a good torrent https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/jun/10/netflix-pulls-the-mighty-boosh-and-the-league-of-gentlemen-over-blackface
Oh, that's just fricking ridiculous. I normally don't give a shit about any of this culture war bullshit but frick me, The Mighty Boosh was about as innocent as it gets in regards to that.
Australian content is almost universally shit. The exceptions are amazing, but there is nothing in between.
Pretty much all Australian film and television is funded by Screen Australia, which is used as a dumping ground for useless but connected public servants and as a result are a pack of unironic pseudointellectual communists.
One Australian thing?
The Castle for a movie.
Sea Patrol season 2 for a TV show (the other seasons aren't worth it but season 2 is good plot + comfy + boat kino)
Not sure if you can find it any more, but The Chaser's War On Everything was great.
It took a while to get here to NZ, but I liked it a lot.
If you enjoy NZ tv shows, you should check out The Late Night Big Breakfast and Moon TV. Leigh Hart is an underappreciated genius
I quite liked that goofy fricker Mr gee from heart break high or whatever it was called. That wasn't bad. And neighbours was great about 20 years ago. I used to sit and drink gin and watch that every day. And mad max was a great movie. Other that that i can't think or anything else. Home and away? Flying doctors?
This, as an Australian I cringe at everything we produce.
Our government feels the need to sponsor everything locally so everything that comes out of here is rife with obnoxious stereotypes and reads out like an ad >AW STREWTH YA BLUDDY GALAH GETS ME SOME VEGEMITE >didgeridoo and virtue signalling to boongs intensifies
how else can those with new found heritage know?

Aunty Donna were kino until about 2019, then their schtick got old. The Netflix show is kind of a compilation of years of writing, it probably didn't get a season 2 but it didn't need to.
I liked Outrageous Fortune, Kiwis will probably bully me for this opinion because it's obviously targeted at women but it was fun to watch through.
Westside started off okay too but then the writers had nothing left for several seasons and ended the show off on the weakest note possible.
It's funny seeing that Anthony Starr has made it big now as Homelander
I actually thought the UK ripoff Honest was better. They got the essence of it and just polished the shit out of it.
The American ripoff of the UK ripoff was predictably terrible. They didn't understand any of it.
didn't he invite Van back to double team her or something? My memory is blurry but I remember things getting really weird in that final season
I think he's talking about Jethro pretending to be Van to frick Van's highschool sweetheart, the threesome was in the last season with the slag lawyer trying to get Cheryl out of prison
>It's funny seeing that Anthony Starr has made it big now as Homelander
You know even back then they knew the guy had some serious acting chops that they were confident enough to cast him as two almost completely different personalities
I liked Danger 5 and The Rover, and there was a short film back in the late 2000s called "Marry Me" which was cute. Also some movie about some runaway girl out in the boonies was neat, never remembered the name but the guy in it drove around in an 80s Toyota and it had a good sense of isolation with the environment. Mad Max is a classic too.
Pretty sure durrie is an Australian thing, noone I know says it. It's weird because some parts of our culture are so similar, Kiwi's are usually more laid back and friendly.
People from New Zealand are generally fricking amazing, the nicest people and biggest bros I've met have all been kiwi. Australians can either be funny as frick or complete arseholes. There's no in between.
Sort of, we're basically Australia-lite, since it's all foreign to you people. We see it as distinct, but you get it confused.

Very accurate. That said, there's c**ts here in NZ too, but we're mostly pretty laid back. I think on average aussies are funnier though.
I find that kiwis have a far drier sense of humour. Aussies are really overt and loud while kiwis will say the funniest fricking shit you've heard in your life but keep a completely straight face throughout.

Checking back on this there's a bunch of unrelated stuff posted recently but the older posts are good for a laugh.
>Will you be welcomed
not really with guns, yes with mountains.
I'd be wary of moving though, our economy is in a shambles and there's tonnes of people heading to Aussie because you guys get paid better than us almost across the board and housing is F U C K E D. Shit's dropping now, but house prices are still up 32% since covid.
Make sure you do your research before moving
Usually those types were picked up and groomed by the ABC, who pick up all of their youth "talent" from the inner city university theatre sports types.
is this the guy who tried to tell chris rock that he was a fellow comedian during an interview and played a terrible standup clip and rock basically said not funny
In reality I think nz and aus are shitholes and had I not been born here id immediately leave and never come back when my mom dies I'm going on a wizard sexpat sesh os
Ohhhh, almost quints. Nice numbers regardless. But did you just fricking call me a Maccy D's wagie because I don't particularly fancy watching Webms of people fricking dying?
There was a thread that posted this and had this discussion. Basically in his situation, there was no way he'd survive it.
Apparently it happened at an ice hockey game, where a skate hit a guy in the jugular, there was a surgeon close by who got to the dude and managed to save him and the hockey player is still alive.
That said, since it's a major artery that's been severed, you just have no time before you no longer have any blood going to the brain. No blood to brain = no oxygen to brain and the brain really likes oxygen.
Australians have an insane obsession with not taking anything too seriously, resulting in a nation of halfwits incapable of making anything worth taking seriously. Half-arsing it is the national obsession.
Big Lez is good though, so is a lot of Chasers before it got pozzed. Danger 5 is the definition of reddit shitte.
Wrong, Australians take one thing EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY: rules. The more arbitrary, the more force must be applied. Police brutality in aus is closer to China than USA.
Also true, mainly because they're falling over themselves to show that they're such unbothered, laidback blokes that breaking a rule, no matter how inane that rule might be, is too much of a hassle for everyone.
But if someone breaks the rule, you can be as hysterical and over-the-top as you like, as we saw in the entirety of the past two years, with police literally bashing old ladies in the street over people in China having a cold. Add to that the ludicrous policies on road safety and quarantine and you have essentially a bunch of coping basedjaks insisting they still aren't bothered while they cry and hit people.
Australians are a fricking cancer.
Years before Covid19 the number one show was Border Security: Australia's Front Line. A show of (mostly ethnic) rule breakers being humiliated for the cameras. We lapped it up.
you know that shit is staged
airport security is actually a joke

>you know that shit is staged
Right, they found thousands of high quality actors instead of simply filming people being put through a bureaucratic ringer.
For me its Review with Myles Barlow. Burgers felt the need to put they're fat fingers all over it and made they're own shitty version but the Aussie version is great.
this country is worthless much like england. we get put in fricking concentration camps over the coof and we aren't allowed to have butter knives. i have no loyalty to this sold out chinese nation whatsoever, nor any western shithole.
Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby is probably one of the most kino shows to come out of NZ, absolutely fricking mogs almost all Aussie "highschool teacher comedies."
Mr Inbetween is good apparently.
I watched the first season and like half of the second. It's not good, but it's not bad either. A passable timewaster.
no witty songs to break up the scenes for you?
Mighty Boosh >>> Flight of the Reddit
>Noel Fielding
I've been watching that one as well, it has its moments. Don't care if it's reddit, I liked What We Do in the Shadows a lot too. TV show is shit, tho.
The Almighty Johnsons was kino. It's not comedy, though it is funny, it's almost proto-capeshit.
Thor (a minor character) wields a standard claw hammer.
holy frick you're gay. not even in the same league
Garfunkel and Oates >>> The Mighty Boosh

I’d rather eat festering smegma from a dead hobo than watch the mighty boosh
100% correct

The Kiwis are an insidious and dishonest race. Don't let them fool you.

Jesus frick how grim.
Where can you watch Mighty Boosh anyway? It's been pulled from streaming over "racism" or "transphobia" I thought. I can't even find a good torrent https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/jun/10/netflix-pulls-the-mighty-boosh-and-the-league-of-gentlemen-over-blackface
Oh, that's just fricking ridiculous. I normally don't give a shit about any of this culture war bullshit but frick me, The Mighty Boosh was about as innocent as it gets in regards to that.
Sorry bigots this is Blackface and that is NOT ok
I'd have thought it was the fricking jazz man but it was fricking THAT?! Utter jokes man.
This is why physical media like DVDs is important, they are gonna keep censoring everything you used to like till there is nothing left

Summer Heights High. Not as funny if you didn't attend school here, public school especially, but still very fun.

Gallipoli is superb
Chopper
make sure you watch some of the interviews, too:
Don't forget his rap album.
Movies: Chopper; The Proposition
TV: Pizza; Life Support
RBT and highway patrol
Not sure if you can find it any more, but The Chaser's War On Everything was great.

lol its getting a reboot soon
Ausgay here, can confirm this is EXACTLY the case. Freakishly accurate.
australian pop culture peaked hard in the 80s and has been spiraling into nothingness since
Yes, hating Australians is one of the few forms of socially accepted racism.
Australia has made kino before
Good taste
No. Even Australians dont like Australian stuff.
This, as an Australian I cringe at everything we produce.

Straya day restores my faith in Straya content.
lol there's a town in Australia basically named "Tard On Ya"
It's the local Maori names for the cities.
nah i'm near there and they're using the Abo names for abo week I need to find the youtube of her trying to pronounce this
ive never heard of any of those places
Boong names.
Australia's going through its own Juneteenth period for abos called Naidoc week.
You should really make a Welcome to Country before you post
Pretty obviously the Abo names that the Abos don't even use.

Aunty Donna are shit
Sucks
Unless you like 30 shows about cops or are a literal toddler Australia doesn't make any shows worth watching
New Zeland still has better cop kino.

Pretending to be your twin brother and fricking the girl he likes isn't wrong?
didn't he invite Van back to double team her or something? My memory is blurry but I remember things getting really weird in that final season
Jethro did some* things wrong
I think he's talking about Jethro pretending to be Van to frick Van's highschool sweetheart, the threesome was in the last season with the slag lawyer trying to get Cheryl out of prison
used to jack off to outrageous fortune on tv when i was a teen hehe
>It's funny seeing that Anthony Starr has made it big now as Homelander
You know even back then they knew the guy had some serious acting chops that they were confident enough to cast him as two almost completely different personalities

Yeah, he played the roles of both twin brothers and did a good job of it.

Better things to be doing in Australia than sitting in watching TV.
NZ is essentially a fancy Wales in the Pacific.

Does New Zealand have its seperate culture? Everything about it just seems like Australia-lite to me.
Pretty sure durrie is an Australian thing, noone I know says it. It's weird because some parts of our culture are so similar, Kiwi's are usually more laid back and friendly.
yea but it was mostly big in the 90s-00s.
