10 Things You Should NEVER Say To An Aussie REACTION
He’s not offending anyone, Australians and New Zealanders always take the piss out of each other. It’s just part of our culture haha
Of course we all rode Roos to school and Kiwis with sheep ( I won't go there).
Paul Hogan did an Australian Tourism advert in the USA. They changed it to shrimp on the barbie for the Yanks to understand as had no idea what a prawn was!
Which is stupid in itself because who puts prawns on the barbie anyway?
@@Erizedd I've had it a few times, not that uncommon. usually done by putting 3-5 (depending on size) on a skewer. I don't do it as there are MUCH nicer ways to eat prawns that don't have them ending up tasting like last weeks snags.
@@myopinion69420 That's why I thought it was weird - considering prawns have a somewhat delicate flavour, I'd have thought the taste of the grill would ruin it.
Yet again having to change language for Americans. As an author of over 60 books, this has been the bane of my life.
@SlingShot Mate, nothing that you said has anything to do with what I said. Also, who is "you all"? I'm Aussie and know the difference between shrimp and prawn - neither of which I'd ever put near a barbeque.
Saying BrisBANE or MelBORN really grates. It's Melb'n and Brisb'n.
That pisses me off as a Kiwi.
Or CanBERRA.
Lornceston
And the way American's pronounce Adelaide is funny, but a little annoying, too.
We Aussies pronounce it as Addel-aid.
Americans pronounce it Aid-a-laid.
And the way Brits pronounce Queensland.
We Aussies pronounce it almost as two separate words. Queens land.
But Brits say Queenslund. Like the way we and the Brits would pronounce Ireland as one word. Irelund. Queenslund.
It's Queens land.
I've long been a firm believer of trying to pronounce city and town names, etc, in the way the locals would pronounce them.
Or say someone's name the way that person pronounces their own name.
Eg. The name Megan. Americans and Brits may pronounce it Meg-en, that's fine in their own country's.
But as an Aussie, I prefer people to pronounce the name as Mee-gen when they're speaking to someone named Megan in Australia.
Same with Angela Merkle. Most westerners may be used to pronouncing her first name as Anne-ge-lah. But she and all Germans pronounce it as An-galah. So why not pronounce her name the way she actually says her own name.
That's just my 2 cents on that subject, anyways. ☺
Yes!!!!
It's only "MelBORN" in Florida ;)
I'm still stunned people thought a wild animal killing a tiny baby was unbelievable.
My heart breaks for The Chamberlain family and the suffering they needlessly went through.
and the wild animal dug a hole and buried the baby's jumpsuit intact.
@@Mav_F Inquest: "I do not regard Cameron’s opinion as to the burial of the clothing convincing. A teaspoonful of soil was vacuumed from it." Only a teaspoonful where they would consider a much greater amount retained if it had been buried.
@@Bellas1717 Well then why was the clothing intact? The dingo sucked the baby out of it and only a bit of blood was on it around the neck. No traces of flesh on it.
@@Mav_F Read the last inquest report where the conviction was overturned. It's online. There were many errors in the forensic examination for the first coronial inquest. Later tests by forensic scientists working with dingo experts showed that the force of a dingo throwing the head around was enough to open snaps on the jumpsuit and the baby come free of it. There was a lot of blood on the jumpsuit and jacket, enough for all coroner in each inquest to determine death had occurred. At the end of the day, top scientists and lawyers made the determination, so unless we are in the same league, we defer to their expertise, experience and experimantation.
Worst thing to say to an aussie. “We’ve run out of beer mate.” There’s even a famous old song called, “The pub with no beer.”
Now a lady asked a Scotsman is anything worn under your kilt? He replied, “Nay, it’s all in perfect working order.”
Another lady asked the same question of a Scotsman. He said, “Put yer and up and find oot.” So she put her hand up and said, “Ooh it’s gruesome.” He said, “Put yer and up again, it’s grew some more.” 😹
A: "Did you know in Scotland they play golf in the snow?"
B: "What, paint their balls black?"
A: "Nah, just wear warmer kilts"
I would say number one is don’t call an Aussie “champ” fighting words 😂
And don't call him pal 😂
The other reason that made Lindy Chamberlain so tragic was because she was so harshly judged by the way she acted and grieved and because she didn’t act the way the public thought a distraught mother should act people thought she was more guilty. In addition to the idiotic police not believing the story and the way the poor babies clothing was found. Thankfully her name has been cleared but they went through hell
If an Australian ask a Scotsman if plays the bag pipe, he is not referring to the musical instrument.😂
‘A dingo ate my baby’ is a line from a 1988 movie called ‘Evil Angels’ or ‘A Cry in the Dark’ (depending on country of release). It’s based on the true story of baby Azaria Chamberlain who was taken by a dingo at a camp site. Meryl Streep played the mother, Lindy Chamberlain, with a really terrible Aus accent. A complex story worth googling. Lindy and her then husband were put through hell, accused of murdering their baby.
Lindy actually said it as well.
@@BigGen222So if Lindy said it then it is okay for everyone to make fun of it? To keep using it so her family will never forget it? What would you say if you were shock and you knew a Dingo had done that?
@@karenstrong8887 I was merely pointing out that it wasn't just a line from the movie, it actually happened, Karen.
@@BigGen222 She can't help it, she's living up to her name lol
And not just accused, Lindy was convicted and jailed
Paul Hogan AKA Crocodile Dundee did a tourism ad for America, saying I'll trough another srimp on the Barby and meaning it so American could understand it, and tourists come over thinking we say it. A Dingo stole my baby. This is a story about Azaria was a child who died in Outback Australia, and the parants said it was a Dingo. Years later a movie was made about it. Merl Streep played Lyndy Azaria's mother and, in the worst, possibly Australian accent, said a Dango sole, my baby.
We send the fosters beer overseas because that's the beer WE DONT DRINK 😂
I went to Tokyo with a plane full of Australian people.the most fun I ever had on a plane!!!!! Really fun people they were mocking out my NY accent
Three more Aussies who are just wonderful people, and who you'll never hear negativity about: Olivia Newton John, John Farnham, Hugh Jackman. New Zealand/Australia and sheep is a long-standing jibe that goes back and forth across the Tasman. Calling Aussies Ossies instead of Ozzies is my personal pet peeve.
Olivia NJ, born in the UK, John Farnham born in the UK ( and when made Aussie of the year was bot even Australian! They had to rush his citizenship through) but hey!
@@triarb5790 No disagreement with the country of birth. John and Olivia are/were Australians by choice, which is a step above nationality by accident of birth. Because John's parents were British, they and their children had automatic citizenship until late 1984, when that part of the Act was revoked and Brits in Australia then had to apply to become citizens. A lot of people didn’t realise the law change, a lot didn’t bother (completing the application, paying the fee, taking the test, travelling to be sworn in) because their new status as Permanent Residents gave them every advantage, including still being able to vote, other than being named Australian of the Year. Had his award been three years earlier, there would have been no need for naturalisation, which is the reason the Fed Gov agreed to rush it through (not just for the award itself). So there’s a little more to the story than the bare facts paint. It’s an interesting interview he gave on the subject, I remember watching it on the news. I’ll see if I can find video of it and post the link for you.
Olivia Newton-John is British and never got an Australian Passport but didn't become a citizen as such until she was up for an award and didn't want to miss out on it as a non-Australian citizen which she wasn't legally entitled too. Secondly, there was a lot of stuff flying around when her business in the past went down as the Titanic did and she came back to Australia to hide and did the samething when her boyfriend ripped people off for millions.
@@Mav_F Koala Blue was a victim of the recession, along with a myriad of other newish boutique businesses that didn't have the breadth and depth to weather the financial stress. Olivia was not responsible for her boyfriend's actions. She was devastated and lived in the limbo of 'not knowing' that relatives of people who disappear say is hell-like. Of course she would come home to her family when traumas like those hit her life. She did the same each cancer diagnosis. She chose to build the Wellness Centre here to help other cancer sufferers.
WRT the award, I think maybe you've confused Olivia with John. As I've responded to a similar comment above, it was realised that John didn't have current Australian citizenship when he was voted to receive the 1988 Australian of the Year award. The reason John's family and many others were caught in that situation was that until 1984 all Brit citizens resident in Australia were automatically Aussie citizens as all Aussies were British citizens. The law was changed in 1984 to reduce Brit citizens in Australia from dual Aussie/British citizens to Australian permanent resident or special visa status. Many people didn't know of the change (John and his family), some did but didn't bother to naturalise because the naturalisation process was time-consuming, had a cost attached, and was a hassle to take tests and travel to a ceremony. John chose naturalisation.
Olivia lost her Australian citizenship through the same law change, but her family encouraged her not to become naturalised because she would lose her Brit passport. The Brit passport had more mobility than an Australian one and would be more useful in her career travelling overseas. Olivia always considered herself Australian, as most Australians also did.
So I'll keep that part of my original comment as is, because choosing a country as your home of the heart far outweighs just being born in one. The one thing I'll change is about there isn't a person who would say a bad word about her. I've now met one.
Cheers.
@@Bellas1717 Not confused. When Koala Blue collapsed and people were suing her, she ran back to Australia after being in the USA for a long time. She even ran back after John was in trouble and then missing. Look where she finally lived and died in the USA. I don't care about her amending her life after all the BS. And making the public think she was miss innocent. I don't care what she did in the last 10 years. All guilt and all tax dodging and public buying.
A dingo took my baby was what Lindy Chamberlain said to the interviewer. And she then was demonised because everyone sat in judgement that the family had gone canping when Azaria was a baby. She was sent to prison and years went by before she had the charges overturned. I hate hearing anyone mocking it also. Shrimp on the barbie - Shrimp is an american word for SHRIMP! - PRAWNS are a completely different species.
However, the joke mainly came about after Meryl Streep's portrayal of Lindy in the movie made about the situation.
And mainly made by foreigners.
I guess it's another one of those things that may have seemed pretty funny back in the day.
But is actually in very poor taste if people bothered to think about the reality of that exact moment, and how it affected the poor Chamberlain family at that time. Let alone have that line become some sad long running joke made by foreigners to rib an Aussie about their accent.
Another ironic thing, most people (including many Aussies) don't even realise that Lindy was actually born in New Zealand (in 1948) and moved to Australia with her family in 1969.
And Lindy had a mixed Kiwi/Aussie accent at that time. And Meryl's portrayal was still a poor version of that.
So, in future, if people want to make a joke about that line and Aussie accents, they're the fools for not even realising that it's not an actual Aussie accent, at all. Certainly not when it's wrongly made by an American woman failing at attempt at Lindy's accent.
Foster's was very popular in Australia in the 80s and yes i had it and it was like diluted beer. Kids loved it.
Only maybe in Victoria. I don’t think that it was ever a thing anywhere else. And even in Victoria I’m not sure that it was actually popular. Pretty sure that most drank VB, Melbourne Bitter and other brands. I’m in my 60’s and I have never even tasted a Fosters and quite frankly rarely even seen it. And that goes for the 70’s and 80’s too when Fosters was supposedly a thing.
@@gregoryjohn4 family in NSW drank it too .In the Parramatta area, Hawkesbury region. And coffs Harbour.
@@gregoryjohn4
Foster's was widely sold in several states around Australia until about the mid 90's.
it was actually CUB's premium brand of beer for decades. Production ran from 1888 to about 2002, and is still the longest lived beer label in Australia.
If it wasn't as popular as you seem to think it was, it certainly would have died out decades earlier, that's for sure.
Not to mention, Fosters was a major sponsor of the Australian F1 GP and several other sporting events for decades back in the day.
Also not just the Aussie F1 GP, but the UK F1 GP (90-93 and 2000-2006) and also the San Marino F1 GP (2003-2006). As well as being prime and trackside sponsor for other F1 GP's around the same time.
They can't have been throwing around a heap of cash on sports sponsorship and so on, if they had no cash from profits of Fosters to use in the first place.
Not in Newcastle. Or even NSW and Queensland. Mind you, those were the days when your beer preference was dictated by the state that you lived in. NSW Tooheys and Tooths. QLD Castlemaine XXXX etc.
@@mebeme007 what I’m saying is that it may have been popular in Victoria, I don’t know? But it certainly was not in NSW and Queensland. You would have had to go out of your way to find it in markets dominated at the time by Tooth’s and Tooheys/Castlemaine. Fosters never had any significant market penetration in those markets, in spite of Bazza McKenzie, car racing and whatever other marketing they did at the time.
Isaac Butterfield: don't mention cyclists or vegans.... You should also look up a video of a Scottish reporter with a drop bear.
That Scottish reporter video was hilarious.
It comedy. It’s satire. Not meant to be taken seriously. But as with all comedy there is a wee grain of truth to be found.
Drinking Fosters is like having s*x in a canoe - Fekkin' close to water!!
Sharks taste really good
" I was sitting down by Bondi Pier,
Drinkin' tubes of ice cold beer,
With a bucket full of prawns upon my knee,
When I swallowed the last prawn,
I had a technicolor yawn
and I chundered in the old Pacific Sea.
Drink it up, drink it up,
Crack another dozen tubes and prawns with me,
If you want to throw your voice,
Mate you won't have any choice,
But to chunder in the Old Pacific Sea."
a little bit more context on the cyclists the fella that asked him to pull over for a chat was an off duty cop and he got a massive fine hahah legend
Cop should have been fined for blocking the road when there was a dedicated cycle track right next to him.
I live in Australia, the guy who owns our local supermarket is Scottish. he also plays the bag pipes..... so he is not helping the stereotype.
one thing you do N O T tell an aussie........ THE BEER IS NOT COLD.......
"A dingo ate my baby" came from the film 'Evil Angels' (AKA 'A Cry in the Dark') - Meryl Streep was imitating Lindy Chamberlain's voice when she discovered her baby had been taken by a dingo. It was further popularised by Seinfeld's Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) during a Seinfeld episode.
The mother Lindy did supposedly say "a dingos got my baby". In 1980 a dingo entered the tent in a camp ground at Ayers Rock/Uluru where 2 little boys and the baby were sleeping and took the 9wk old baby. When one of the boys screamed she went in and supposedly screamed those words But it hit the universe when Meryl Streep said it in a REEEAAAALLY bad Aussie accent in the movie A CRY IN THE DARK/about the story. It was an awful tragic story the mother was sent to gaol for life in 1982 on dubious evidence from the NT police. After new evidence was found she was was eventually released and pardoned and exhonerated in1987. The couple eventually divorced and she remarried. In 2012 a Coroner finally ruled that a dingo did take the baby and the death certificate was changed. It split community opinion for years wasted 5 yeears of Lindys life in prison and broke the family. Meryls Streeps portrayal was not her best and her accent was just awful. So thats probably why it caught on. But no its not a funny saying here in Aus. Although some may still not agree. So just avoid that and the shrimp on the barbie quote if you come out here. Just soooooo annoying.
Vegemite is great and nothing like Marmite 😖
An Aussie comedian from years back (one Paul Hogan) was contracted to appear in a number of tourism adverts which were aimed at an American audience. What we Aussies call prawns, the Americans call shrimp. A line, towards the end of one of those advertisements, went something like, "Come and join us . . . we'll throw a shrimp on the barbie (BBQ) for you."
“Put a shrimp on the barbie” comes from a tourism campaign ad starring Paul Hogan where he was targeting the American market. He ends the ad saying “come on. Say G’day. I’ll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for ya.”
Shrimp on the barbie
Phrase
"Shrimp on the barbie" is a phrase that originated in a series of television advertisements by the Australian Tourism Commission broadcast in the US and UK starring Paul Hogan from 1984 through to 199…
Aussie here 🖐 "throw a shrimp on the barby" & fosters beer started with Ad campaigns directed at foreign audiences around "crocodile Dundee" pretty sure he did the Ad. Shows how powerful advertising is.
Ironically Foster's is still brewed in Melbourne Australia but very rarely drunk by us Aussies. Give me a Johnnie Walker blue label any day lol
Hahaha. I love it when my Scoish friends try to have fun with the Aussie accent. Thank you my heathen friends.
Shrimp on the barbie is from the aftermath of Crocodile Dundee. Paul Hogan did a big marketing campaign to get Americans to travel to Australia.
Isaac is such a gem 😂
He’s a bit of a nob to be honest.
Not all Aussie CZcams watchers like him.
I’ve been to Scotland and loved it and I’m sure if you came here you’d love it too.
Similar culture, background and language.
Hope you make it here soon.
My folk came from Skye.
P.S. the only person I’ve known who played the bagpipes was called “Stuart” by surname. Mind you, his family were very proud.
The apple never falls from the tree too far in my experience.
"a bit of a knob" is a massive understatement. That's the comedian who mocked the Christchurch Massacre victims.
@@Gradgar I had no idea. What a c-word. That was, and still is, heartbreaking. I’m so sorry.
@@jenb658 I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I'm glad you know now. The more people that know, the better.
I put the vegemite on my toast thick. And eat it with a spoon sometimes. I am sure there are lots of others love to eat it like that.
I’m with you. I might be an addict, lol
Only feral aussies eat it with a spoon straight from the jar.
The shrimp on the Barbie was an add for tourism Australia aimed at America.
They were 2 off duty cops riding on the road so he drove up the designated Bike Track.
Contrary to the content in this video, there ARE shrimps, but they are tiny, smaller than your little finger, used in Shrimp Cocktails and Chinese cooking. The bigger man-sized crustacean is a Prawn.
Also Fosters WAS a popular beer in Victoria in the 60s and 70s, made by Carlton and United Breweries (CUB) in Carlton Vic. Barry Humphries created a character named Barry McKenzie who was the subject of a cartoon strip in the British publication Private Eye. Bazza drank Fosters as did most of us Vics in the 70s. There was a brand of ice cream by Peters that had the slogan “the health food of the nation”. There was also a little ditty that went “Fosters Lager, Fosters Lager, sold in bottles, cans and glass, it’s the health food of the nation, stick your ice cream up your arse”
Finally, in Australia there’s intense rivalry between the states. Four states play proper footy, called Australian Rules (Aussie Rules) and two states, Queensland and NSW, play Rugby. Back in the 60s and 70s, there was also brand loyalty when drinking beer. Victorians swore by CUB products, with Fosters being the leader. The other states and territories had their favourites, too so back then there was never a single Australian beer popular with everyone. It’s probably still the case but it’s wrong to say no Australian drank Fosters.
it originated from a advert on tv staring paul hogan trying to get the us audience attention to come to australia so he said shimp instead of prawn
..the bit about the bike path lol
He is right about kangaroos except we also get pretty damned close when they deliver the mail
I've been living in Australia for 41 years (from New Zealand) and my wife can do a better Kiwi accent than I can. Although if I'm talking to a Scot for more than 10 minutes I inexplicably start breaking into a brogue, I don't mean to be rude it's just something that happens to me.
Paul hogan did some tourish adds for overseas, (that's not a knife?), from his movie crockdial dunndee.
Blame Paul Hogan sucking up to Americans! They wldnt know a prawn if it bit em! 🤣
where did the say though a shrip on the BBQ in aussie from?
The expression stems from a 1984 television advertisement created by the Australian Tourism Commission for audiences in the United States. The original ad starred Paul Hogan two years before he played Mick Dundee in the astronomically successful Hollywood blockbuster Crocodile Dundee (1986), when he shot to fame in the US.
Australian of the year driving up the bike path cussed out two off duty police officers.
As an Australian advertising/marketing person, the use of the word 'shrimp' in the Paul Hogan commercial was a reference to Australia being a big land. When Hogan holds up the prawn, it's saying that we call shrimp... not the 'dime sized' creatures the US calls shrimp.
The shrimp on the barbie thing came from that Paul Hogan movie Crocodile Dundee. He called it shrimp in the movie so Americans would know what he's talking about. But we throw sausages, steak and chops on the barbecue.
They used to sell fosters in 750Ml cans.
A true blue Aussie either wouldn't give a toss or the speaker may find themselves floored. A vegemite sandwich fixes everything! 😝
We did used to drink Foster's but haven't for probably 40 years. So alot of Aussies do know what it tastes like. It was in the same advertisement as the skimp on the barbie back in the early 80's.
An add for tourist from America by Paul Hogan
When you talk do you sometimes use gaelic, my grandfather was scots too from scotland served in the royal marines and whenever he spoke to us he'd use english mixed with some gaelic even though he spent many years here in Australia his accent never left him
Most of his curse words can be heard at any pub.
I think “chuck another shrimp on the barbie “ was on crocodile dundee
My question about that ad has always been if they were aiming at the U.S. market and took the time to use the Americanised SHRIMP instead of PRAWN why the heck did they not change the word BARBIE to GRILL? None of my U.S. friends have ever used the word BARBIE. It should have been "Throw another shrimp on the grill. Typical Australian half-arsed effort.
There was a movie about the dingo stealing Azaria Chamberlain from Uluru in 1980. Her mother Lindy went to prison for her murder. The story was massive. Meryl Streep played Lindy in the movie so Americans know it and still incorrectly use it as a slang term.. the whole thing divided the country...did she do it or did the dingo do it
Paul Hogan ad campaign from the 80's "Throw a shrimp on the Barbie" bloody stupid.
Yes Paul Hogan's ad! Yes terrible tragedy, that was Merryl Streep's bad accent! Don't touch Steve Irwin or his son Robert! Vegemite (b vitamins), no spoonfuls, it's not jam! No beer at all, here! 😖 (14/7) Kangaroos have very slim necks, cruel, they are so sweet! Aye, Pipes, Kilt, Haggis, 🥃! Homeland, you can't say that!! Yes, people actually do that, two flush! Yep, say Hi, that's fine! Hello, bears and guns!? All Spiders aren't in your shoes! We have bike tracks, lanes! 😂 Don't ask me is Tasmania a real place, or if they speak English!!? 😠
When Fosters Lager was first exported or made in the UK under licence, it was a fairly popular beer here in Aus. Through time, like many things, it became unfashionable. The truth is, as lagers go, it's not necessarily a bad drop - just unfashionable in this modern era.
Paul hogan in aa Australian tourism campaign, throw another shrimp on the barbie, 1980 / 1990s
When an American asks if I am from NZ, I like to ask them if they are Canadian.
There was a case I think back in the 80’s where a couple, with their children, were camping in the outback. Lindy Chamberlain (the mother) was charged with murder for killing her 6 week old baby and disposing of the body. She told the police that a dingo took her baby but wasn’t believed. I suspect that the Northern Territory police were happy for her to take the blame as it wasn’t good for tourism was it! She went to jail and a few years later an aborigine found the baby’s jacket. As a result of this, Lindy Chamberlain was released from prison.
Got me. Miss Steve 😭🤙🇦🇺
Fresh water crayfish are called yabbies here
Aaaahhhhh the Buttsmarn
Everyone in Australia knows what a 'Dingo suit' is... as horrid as the image is, we still use it.
A lot of people didn't like Steve Irwin until he died and they have selective memory. Why he spent so much time in America, they liked him more there.
most non australians dont know that kangaroos are dumber than cows
Uhh yeah dingoes eating unguarded kids is quite common down here. And the Lindy Chamberlain case was extremely tragic.
As an Aussie. My suggestion is call them British. lol
There was an Australian Tourism ad back in the Eighties in which Paul Hogan (a celebrity of the time whose schtick was exaggeratedly "ocker" characters) said "We'll slip another shrimp on the barbie for ya!" as he put a very large (and already cooked!) king prawn onto barbecue grill. The advertisers' idea was to play up the recognised Aussie slang ("barbie") while making an 'everything is bigger in Australia' joke, suggesting that our seafood are so huge that the shrimp are the size of king prawns. It came across as weird and stilted to Australians, and everyone else missed the joke because they thought the point was a language difference not a size thing. But it won't bloody die. We don't call those things "shrimp" and don't grill them on barbies (especially when they are already boiled).
"A dingo's got may bay-bay!" is a quote from Meryl Streep in the trailer for a movie, which was called _A Cry in the Dark_ in some markets and _Killer Angels_ in others. The film, released in 1988, was a dramatisation of a tragic event, media circus, and serious miscarriage of justice that occurred in Australia in 1980. Streep played, and tried to mimic the accent of, a New Zealand-born woman whose baby was taken by a dingo in a national park in Australia. About a bazillion Americans heard Streep in the trailer and for some weird reason started imitating her. Now they are imitating one anther and don't remember why. It was never an Australian thing to say.
Foster's got to be famous because of _The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie_ , which was a cartoon strip that Barry Humphries wrote in about 1964 and that was published in _Private Eye_ , a British satirical magazine. That the central character drank Foster's was part of the joke. And the comic wasn't distributed in Australia anyway (it was banned for indecency).
WTF, the saying is ‘Throw a shrimp on the barbie’ and yes we do if they are raw.
A dingo took my baby not a dingo’s got may bay-bay, what language is that.😅

🧐It came from Paul Hogan 🫶who stared in the movie,😁Crocodile Dundee.👍He made an add for Australian Tourism for USA.💕💗💕💗
"Anything negative about Steve Irwin" I'm Australian and have plenty of negative things to say about Irwin. His behaviour in Antarctica was appalling. He broke all the rules regarding contact with the wildlife and should have been prosecuted. He was very popular in the USA, not so much in Australia. I know Australians who cheered the stingray.
the whole "shrimp on the barbie" thing is from a tourism commercial featuring Paul Hogan. It was made for an American audience, so they used American words.
My question about that ad has always been if they were aiming at the U.S. market and took the time to use the Americanised SHRIMP instead of PRAWN why the heck did they not change the word BARBIE to GRILL? None of my U.S. friends have ever used the word BARBIE. It should have been "Throw another shrimp on the grill. Typical Australian half-arsed effort.
Barbecue is a yank word, probably brought over in WW2.. like guy etc.
if someone does say anythin about steve irwin and we find out they better watch out
Shrimp and on the Barbie and Foster's beer is Australian Tourism's fault. And not everyone here believes a Dingo ate a baby, and if you knew anything about Dingoes, you wouldn't either. And those cyclists were actually on the road and the car on the bike track 🤦♀️ our cyclists do that a lot, or they will ride 2 & 3 abreast.
The dude driving on the bike track is a fucking legand
Do you wear a kilt? 😂
Shrimp are Different from prawns. Different creatures🍤
Beer Judges found VB to be the last out of 10 in a blind test. 🍺🇦🇺

The kangaroo has to be the dumbest animal in the world. They are roadkill because they can't move backwards and they swivel on their tail to get off the road. Problem is that it's a toss up which way they will head, left to safety right, right in front of your car, splat.
Back in the day we drank Fosters, because I have
He's a bit over the top for my liking, though probaly a deasent guy in real life. He has another channel with his wife, which is a bit more watch able. Lil Buttsman ? Or something like that.
And it’s also grating to hear him say “Austwaiwia”. There’s an “R” and an “L” in there. Try saying these two syllables “Aust”, then “tRaiLia” (not “twaiwia”)
Paul Hogan initially agreed, but later admitted that the worg 'scrimp' was the correct thing to do. The huge increase in Tourism from USA achieved the result
When eating Vegemite the thing to remember is "less is more". Don't spread it on, dab it on. And Fosters tastes like shit.
if you're gonna try vegemite for the first time, for the love of Steve, PLEASE have it on some toast with butter. Don't try to appreciate it by eating an entire spoonful. We only ever did that to blowhards from the US ;)
The only people talking bad about Steve was PeTA. And we all know whats that worth
What nationality is someone who drinks Fosters and watches Neighbours? British. You won't find an Australian doing either. Back in the 1960s and 70s you'd see Fosters around but not for forty years or so. Neighbours exists because the Brits pay for it.
Love butterfield
We don't have sheep any more tho 😅
probably already been said, but fosters is american beer, people claim its australian because it was made here, but it was made by americans and honestly i would be shocked if i ever seen anyone drinking it because it just tastes so shit
Americans call prawns shrimp.
Here is a piece of bad luck, that bloke who told the cyclists to use the bike path got a ticket for driving on the bike path.
Those cyclist flogs were 2 off duty cops getting some exercise by being a55holes and riding 2 abreast in the middle of the road.
Unlucky...
The point of that cyclists clip was; the cyclists were cycling on the road, the road for cars, but the car was using the cyclist path, a path that got installed at an enormous cost, so that cyclists arent on the road.
Lol, this is funny but not really that serious. I'm Aussie and hate Vegemite and so do my kids. Most Aussies will explain if you get something wrong, like using the word shrimp instead of prawn. Back in the day, everyone managed to use the phrase "a dingo ate my baby" after the movie came out about Azaria Chamberlain... many still have doubts but the phrase has died off a lot nowadays. Most Aussies will stir overseas travellers about our dangerous animals which is why so many are scared. It isn't really bad - you just have to be aware in certain environments of what to look out for or avoid. It's sometimes hard for anyone overseas to understand our Aussie humour and to realise that a lot of what we say is only meant in jest. Not all Aussies swear and drink to excess either believe it or not.
I think there were very many Australians who had more humanity than to use that phrase. The revisiting of the forensics to identify several faulty processes and interpretations, and it coming to light that there had been a number of subsequent dingo attacks, led to the Chamberlains being totally exonerated at the 2012 inquest.
@@Bellas1717 yes, but at the time, there were still a lot that used it and I've still heard people use the phrase in recent times.
@@suesmith7946 I’m not disagreeing with that, there is a line where dark humour can become something horrible. Some people don’t see that line, not because they are uncaring people, but because they just don’t look at what their words mean in the physical world. I’ve done it in other areas, and rightly been pulled up on it. Its the use of ‘everyone’ that I’m saying isn’t accurate. Many people did look beyond the joke to the inhumanity of the comment in that particular case. Cheers.
@@Bellas1717 fair enough. 👍
Never call an Emu an Eeemoo like every yank alive , its pronounced Eemyoo , they are only found in Australia we named them and how we pronounce their name is the correct and only way to say it , don't get me started on Melbourne ,Brisbane ,Canberra ,Bondi ,Aluminium ,Caribbean ,Caramel , Aussie , Nissan, the list is endless
He has a few good points but he’s a total Bogan and oh, so loud and overly dramatic! Please don’t judge us all by him.
Before Paul Hogan (affectionately known locally as Hoges) became Mick Dundee in Crocodile Dundee, he starred in a series of tourism ads designed by the Australian Tourism Commission to attract US visitors to Australia.
This ad is the most famous in the series, clocking-up an impressive amount of Aussie sightseeing in one minute by showing would-be visitors sun-soaked beaches, Uluru, Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Sydney Harbour, an AFL game, a boat, restaurant and pub.
Australian idiom such as 'fair dinkum', 'Down Under', 'G-day' and 'mate' is thrown around with calculated abandon. The most famous line, 'I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for ya', contains the American 'shrimp' instead of the Aussie 'prawn' and is often recalled incorrectly as 'throw another shrimp on the barbie'. The saying has become synonymous with Australia for Americans thanks to this highly successful campaign. We also don’t say ‘ice-box’, we say Esky.
Speaking personally, my pet hate is that some English, Americans, and Canadians, with derision, call us ‘convicts’ when most convicts were sent here for crimes of survival in the face of English oppression. Many were just children who were hungry and / or cold and honestly, most of us would we be lucky to have one or two convict ancestors in a family tree of 124 ancestors. Probably the same odds as any country in The Commonwealth or Americas. It’s just a primitive excuse for a slur.

Yeah agree. Butterfield is a bit of a dickhead.
