Come to Canada please I live in Canada and there are no busses to get to Australia I'm scared of flying only did it twice I hope I never have to again
@@sheismymom I'll buy her a one-way ticket to Canada, so long as you promise to keep her there.
I've heard that the United States were going to use this woman's schtick as a tool to extract information from prisoners-of-war, until it was discovered that it would violate The Geneva Convention.
Will
You
Marry
Me
???
💍
No worries. Im a peaceful guy from the tribe, which was keep out with the Great-Wall.
( these days we live in Europe and calm )
😁😄😄😃😀😊
So?
💍
Are you ready for me, or need one more day to think?
😁😁😁
"If you’d like to see me live"
If it's the live that rhymes with jive, I'm probably too busy and it's out of my way. If it's the other live that rhymes with give, it seems pretty important that I get there.
@@sheismymom Hi, there are Cruise Ships from Vancouver to Sydney, & the cost is only twice the cost of an inclusive airfare
(of course are airfares that are a third of the cost, in comparison, but those airlines make you pay for any food & drink).
The Cruise Ships include nearly all food & soft drink, in the starting package, but can purchase an add-on package which also makes the drinks & premium restaurant meal/s cheaper, than if pay/paid onboard.
But all food in the standard restaurants, which are very nice & stylish, is included, in the standard fare.
There's 3 Cruise Lines, that do Vancouver to Sydney cruises
As well it being great on board, you get to visit some of the most beautiful & amazing Pacific Islands, on the way to Australia.
Another advantage of doing a cruise is usually don't need any Visas for most of the islands, as if traveling on a cruise ship & in port for less than 24 hours (or can be up to 48 hours re a few countries), don't need it.
Just a passport.
(Like ALL things tho, check first
& I make the disclaimer of that above may not be accurate, & some regulations may have changed, since I did a Pacific cruise)
(make sure you get back to the boat well before departure time, as they don't wait for any late-comers even if see you running along the wharf/dock - costs ships lots of $ if they're after their allocated time/s (or before it).
Some family friends (U.S. American who live in Portland) of ours did Vancouver to Australia. They invited as on board for a dinner while in Port (which the cruise ships allow you to do to in 1 or 2 ports) but you have to have a passport, or 2 photo ids if don't have a passport.
Was funny having to use id, to go where I've walked to the end of the pier/wharf many times, as when no ships in dock, it goes back to being a public land & water area
Used to know a guy who was Chinese descent. One day someone came up with him and asked him if he would read something for him. He handed it over and it's written in Chinese characters. My friend replied that he couldn't read it. The other guy apologised and asked if it was Korean or something. My friend replied, "Listen to my voice. I sound like Steve Irwin." The other guy was all, "Oh, how long did it take you to pick up that accent?" My friend replied, "My family came over during the 1850s gold rush." The guy just looked at him blankly and walked away. We had a good laugh.
Many forgot about that the Australian Chinese community started during the Gold Rush. I have met many of Chinese Ancestry that cant speak anything other than english and have various aussie accents. Like an old boy in his 90's once that had the strongest damn Broady accent I ever heard.
@@G.H.O.S.T.254 I didn't even know Australia _had_ a gold rush.
@@Dominator150395 The Gold Rush is long over, but Australia is literally covered in gold, you can pan almost anywhere and atleast find a tiny spec for your effort.
Many pan recreationally to this day but there is a very strict focus on making sure not to damage the land because the big giant gold companies leave nothing but ravaged unhealable land in their wake and do nothing to clean up after themselves. I know of several strip gold mines that sit fallow and barren to this day, many attempts have been made to regrow forests that once sat there, but even after 30 years not even grass will grow there. And many others cracked the aquifer water table and contaminated the water supply for a hundred kilometers, leaving no one with clean water except for rain run off from roof guttering and dams.
Many have to by their water and ship it in in regional area's.
@@Dominator150395- during the unknown gold rush, Melbourne was one of the wealthiest cities in the world.
@@user-ot7ec4uc3g and there is still tonnes of gold still around for those that are willing to spend the effort to look for it, the country is covered in it.
I ate in a Chinese restaurant in a small town in Virginia. The Chinese server said, in a thick southern drawl, "What can I get for y'all?" That was incongruous. Then when I asked if they had chopsticks, she said, "Oh I'm so sorry, we sure don't."
Years ago I ate at a chinese restaurant in Virginia and they served bread rolls. I was like wtf. 😂
When I went to Asian restaurants of different kinds in Europe, I was a few times surprised that the staff often didn't speak any English, despite good English being incredibly common in somewhere like Sweden. Until I realised the obvious. People who move to a new country learn the local language, which is why I had that expectation formed back home in Australia, but corrected in Stockholm.
@@c3aloha was it in Front Royal off I-66?
@@c3aloha One day my parents and I were discussing the worst Chinese restaurant we'd ever been to. We lived in Pittsburgh, but my parents and I both said it was in South Bend, Indiana. They turned out to be different restaurants. I had ordered wonton soup, but the owner said she would serve me chicken noodle because it it a dollar cheaper. I much prefer wonton unless it's made by my mother, wife, et cetera.
@@rojoeditor haha I don’t think so but close. Maybe Manassas. They had to adapt to local conditions to survive I guess. This was over 30 years ago too so the area was definitely not as diverse as it is today.
"my voice attracts the bogans, and my face attracts the high rollers" GIRL IM FUCKING CRYING 💀 💀

It's quite an accent though.🫨

😂 so good - I love her line that she “looks oriental, but sounds like the type of person that still uses the word oriental”
Not long after I first arrived in Canada, sitting in a lawyers' office in Vancouver many decades ago, I chatted with a much older turbaned bearded Sikh gentleman. I complimented him on how excellent his English was. He politely responded that it ought to be because he was born in Canada. Egg all over my face.
Conversely, I asked a doctor of mine (who was Asian) how long he’d lived here. He thought I was asking if he was from America. He said, “My whole life.” And I said, “No, how long have you lived HERE?” He looked confused and then said, “About five years.” I said, “Okay, good. Do you have any restaurants you recommend in this town?”
Poor guy.
Shame 😭
I had someone in Australia ask me 'Where are you from? Your english is very good.'
I'm from England 😂😂
I went to college and in the dorms there was a young guy who had Japanese parents, but was born and grew up in the Australian outback. He could not speak Japanese and had the thickest Australian accent I'd ever heard, like the Aussiest guy I had ever met. Surprising at first when half the college is international students and you expect him to have a Japanese accent, but you adjust very quickly and it's quickly obvious he's not Japanese, except through descent, and is 100% Australian country boy.
His name wasn't Jason was it? (obscure book reference)
I had a coworker who was Nigerian, and he had a flawless generic American accent that he learned from TV. The security guards were also Nigerian, and didn't really speak English, just Yoruba, which was also my coworker's main language. But he said the security guards were dicks so he just pretended to be an American for the several months he worked there lol.
I think this guy knocked up my cousin. 🤔
Jason Asano
Similar story, I'm Polynesian who ended up living in Japan for couple of years.
Move too Hawaii then Australia but
Have fam in NZ.
I was helping my friend do deliveries for some cash.
Got too one restaurant its owned by a Japanese and Maori couple I didn't know at the time.
My mate tells me the dude helping with the delivery is Japanese, he is actually the son.
Looking Nihonjin az, here I go too greet him in Nihongo. The man speaks too in the Horiest nz accent eg.. Up 2 my bro, you helping the bro?? Chur mean how you liking the Mahi lol
Somehow, this is easier and caused no problem. I once talked to a Chinese guy who grew up in Scotland, and my brain short-circuited for a few seconds due to the disconnect between what I was seeing and what I was hearing.
I used to see a Chinese guy from Ireland and yeah the brain takes a second to adjust. His brain probably took a while to adjust to seeing anyone at all talk in an accent other than Irish when he came to Australia...
Swedish. Could speak with a Swedish accent or English accent. She had to "do" English one, only because hadn't lived there for a while, but it was very natural sounding.
Her accent changed while growing up, due to the move. Chinese & English parents that moved to Sweden.
- - -
French accent with French first name & Spanish last name. Of Japanese appearance. Not born in France or Japan. French & Japanese parents, with Spanish ancestry as well.
After meeting & speaking to those 2, I stopped making any assumptions re face = where they are from; & that their heritage is what their accent is.
I learnt all that about them, within first several minutes of meeting, as was both interested, & processing, so asked
@@CBM_Walks Totally understand. It was the seeing a Chinese face and talking to Shrek bit that threw me for a few seconds. Also needed a second to adjust to the really thick Scottish accent.
@@Alone47 Besides from that much of my family (recent-ish ancestory) lived in areas that were Goldfields so Chinese-Australian has relevance re early Australia (after 1788) as many Chinese males came from Canton region to Victorian & Queensland goldfields, one of my Great Great Grandfathers came from south-east China in 1842. Another GG Grand Father came from Scotland.
Through some people being a bit naughty - lol (doing something before marriage, & therefore next descendant didn't stay within same family line but ended up with another) I have appearance of (what some would say is) Scottish Australian but my cousin, with black hair & dark eyes, & who I'm blood related to, is direct straight line descendant from that first Chinese immigrant, which is also the Only asian line across all my/our family trees.
Another GG Father is/was from France.
So, that is a very long explanation (sorry), as to why anyone that makes/ puts a comment like (at around 4:00) that Jenny talks about, can often be less "Australian" than persons of Chinese appearance, since many came to Australia through the 1850s 1860s 1870s & into the mid 1880s. Approx 8,000 to 10,000 ppl.
Many were single males, so married Scottish, English, and a few Irish women (or married next descendant females, of Australia born with Scottish, English, or Irish, parents.
There were married Chinese males too that came alone, & going to return, after "striking it rich" on goldfields.
Most didn't tho (& they just wanted to get enough, to sell to live a bit more comfortably in China than being poor).
While most Chinese married males returned approx 20% of married ones didn't.
The above scenarios also apply for many English males, & U.S. Americans (as Californian goldfields started running out), and others of UK/Anglo-Saxon descent, coming to Australia from 1850s-1880
So All that is more reasons why I try to not assume but also do have that "disconnect" thing on occasion, since I also have connect & disconnect to my f'n self, at same time lol.
By the way, through the family trees (with some lines gotten back to 500 AD) we discovered that 1 married couple (current) are distant cousins lol. The connection of ancestory is 1300 years ago, so far enough back that there's no issue, but an in-law relative of mine (that I'm not related to - well wasn't) are now calling each other 'Cousin' as we think it's weird, interesting, & funny.
Anyone who thinks/puts a comment like that d**k did should do a DNA test. Not only would they be a stunned mullet, they'd have a cow
I met a scouse Asian woman in liverpool once and my brain did the same thing, had the thickest scouse accent I’ve heard in a while
I'm Australian, and with mostly English and Irish background. Went over to England for my sister's wedding, and while walking around the Roman Baths in Bath (love the names of places in England), we saw a big group of school kids doing the usual thing when going on a school trip - doing the educational stuff that their teacher gave them to fill out by asking locals questions about the historical site. We were tourists too, but they couldn't tell because we fit in with the locals. When they came up to us to ask their questions they all did double takes when they heard Aussie instead of regional English.
🤦♀️
You fitted in with the locals? So you’re Pakistani?
Years ago (when I was a young teenager), my dad hired an account to help process his tax returns. The accountant was Chinese, spoke in a strong aussie accent and easily slipped into fluent Greek to help my dad understand him better 😅 Needless to say, dad booked him every year, from then on! 😂🤗🙂
“Owhh nauhrr, owh yaaayy!!” 😂
I've never heard anyone more Australian in my life
😂YT has a Translate to English option for this comment!
One of my funny travel memories is walking along the street in Saigon, behind two Vietnamese girls. then I heard them start talking to each other in a full Bogan accent.
In that setting hearing Pauline Hanson's voice coming from two Vietnamese girls is quite confronting.
@ibast, if you'd hadn't seen them, would you have thought wtf is Pauline doing in Asia. lol
I thought of mentioning Pauline in another comment, for an example of very aussie or bogan accent, but too many people reckon Pauline's accent isn't. And it is now bit more of a general Queensland accent with some words with more accent. But when we first ever heard Pauline, that was not the accent/voice you expected to hear, after the introduction on radio or TV, of a politician.
Pity you didn't or couldn't talk to those girls, probably would've been interesting conversation. Perhaps could yelled G'day, or cooee (& although many younger people don't know cooee, there's no mistaking it's Aussie accent
how did u know they were vietnamese if they talk bogan
@@inertia179 He said he saw them before he heard them.
Vietnamese-Australian is one of the major sub-demographics in Australia.
So they looked Vietnamese (or at least, Asian). There is a Vietnamese style look, & I don't mean re facial/skin.
I've heard the very aussie accent from a couple of Vietnamese here. Of course those girls may have been of other Asian demographic, but considering there is many Vietnamese & many Vietnamese-Australians in Australia, & Vietnam is a major destination (for both holidays, & working; lot of Australian doctors & dentists work for 6 or 12 months in Vietnam)
So yeh as they were Asian & in Vietnam, he perhaps assumed they were Vietnamese, but given the situation, & with bogan accent, it's a somewhat fair assumption they were persons of Vietnamese origin.
(that were born in or grown in Australia).
Generally, a lot of the Vietnamese demographic in Australia dates to the 1970s, so a very aussie accent would not be surprising. Just in a location, (sometimes), outside Australia, you might do a double take. I often get very annoyed at people who make assumptions based only on appearance (& will tell them they're idiots), but there was enough in his post, & if good knowledge re demographics of areas in Australian cities (& which I have), if he made any assumptions, they were ok imo.
Now, if you want to why it would be much less likely they'd be Chinese with a bogan accent in Vietnam, let me know. Jenny's accent isn't bogan aussie, btw. It's just very aussie
I'm now thinking of a good Vietnamese friend who went to visit Vietnam, who'd never been there & everyone kept talking to her in Vietnamese. Which she doesn't know except the very basics. Her accent? A general Australian rounded accent. Because she was born in Australia,
But all the Vietnamese people she met in Vietnamese assumed she lived there or is from there
@@inertia179 I didn't. That was the point of my anecdote. I just assumed they were, because they looked like locals.
You sound more Australian than Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie combined. Good stuff lol.
Well, Nicole was born in the USA.
she sounds like someone from the countryside. doesn't make sense because most immigrants move to the cities.
That isn’t hard
And yet, I'd rather date either of those two.
😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉
god as an aussie born asian millenial i fricking relate to all of this jenny!!!
There... are more ? 😳

@@TheeSlickShady Lol, yes there are more. Besides the UK, East Asians are the biggest immigrant group here
@@TheeSlickShadyLots more. My ex-partner is exactly like Jenny.
When my wife went for her citizenship test I was allowed to accompany her. What they didn't count on was an Ocker Aussie being able to speak my wife's native language. They thought I was interpreting the questions, but I was giving her the answers in her own language. She's an Aussie now. What does it mean being an Aussie? It means the bastards can't deport you.
They could if they wanted to.
I read this comment like 5 times and didn't understand it. Help a stupid guy out please lol
@@Muzikman127 For people to become an Australian citizen they ultimately have to go to an interview where they are asked ridiculous 'Aussie' questions, which most Australian high school students don't even know, like "Which arm of government has the power to interpret and apply laws?" I accompanied my wife to the interview. The questions were asked verbally. The interviewer would ask the question and I was pretending to qualify the question in my wife's native language, however, I was giving her the answers. You're not allowed to do this now. 😊😊
@@user-uk7se7ez7r Honestly, if they can't understand the questions themselves, they shouldn't be allowed to be citizens. As long as the questions are in a high-school level of english (or the native tongue of the country).
If I moved to germany and became a citizen, I'd assume I need to be relatively fluent (B1, maybe B2) in german. Same in the netherlands, france, etc.
@@Programmdude this isn’t really a great thresh hold either tbh - if we based citizen eligibility on having high school level english, many of my classmates back in hs would need their citizenship revoked lol. theres also learning disabilities, physical disabilities, psychatric etc. to take into account. there’s many aboriginal communities as well where english is not their first language and they’re surely the most australian you could get.
even though english is most widely used here, it’s not even our official language - we don’t have one - so it wouldn’t really make sense for it to be the deciding factor imo
basic english to get you through a day, sure, but being able to understand complex sentences in english, maybe not the best indicator of australian-ness
She's so funny and her overalls make me wish I was cool enough to wear overalls.

From the US: My statistics professor in junior college was, if I recall right, of Korean descent, and raised in Texas. If a cartoon needed a voice actor for a cowboy he’d win the part easily. His voice could’ve co-starred with John Wayne.
I had a doctor who was quite obviously Chinese but with a wonderful Scottish accent,always made me smile.
Used to work with a bloke who was Austrian/Malay and had the THICKEST Scottish accent you've ever heard! Like the kind even other Scotts can't understand...

I'm Asian Aussie as well and I relate to that citizenship bit so much 😂 had something similar said to me and my response was "I don't see you playing the didgeridoo"
I am Mexican American and holy Christ. Did she hit the nail on the head with the whole "your voice doesn't match your face"
I have a really weak, effeminate voice... which totally matches my face
"My name... Jeff" type moment.
It is not just race. People expect Minnie Mouse voice from petite females. People expect a deep voice from a lumberjack looking guy. If I travel to another part of my country they don’t expect my accent. It is called stereotyping and has been around forever.
@@Dave-sw2dm You may be right. Not only am I a Mexican who sounds exactly like a white person and doesn't seem like. I have any trace of hispanic culture culture and my upbringing
But I'm also 300 pounds and I have a voice that definitely does not sound like. I am three hundred pounds
also shut up YOU'RE fat
@@Dave-sw2dm Those examples 😂
But I have to disagree slightly, if you are also implying that this type of stereotyping is evil. It’s not a malice type stereotyping. It’s just that our brains form certain profiles for certain kinds of factors. Which is not accurate & having the ability loosen it is good.
But, just stereotyping like in face not matching voice case isn’t harmful either.
I love watching Jenny and of course listening to her Australian accent. Her routine is funny and her timing is awesome!

Never heard of Jenny before now, but subbed! 👍
LolZ
The nutbush dance is generally believed to be an Australian thing….
Same, never heard of Jenny and subbed, gold!
4:00 - Yuuup, crowd spot on in that response. What came next is Perfect.
Jenny is hilarious! I love the "your voice doesn't match your face" bit. My sister is adopted from Colombia and she gets this all the time 🤣
Jenny is great, love her comedy. Although as an American, I don't always fully understand some of the lingo, for example, "bogan". Had to look that one up. For my fellow Americans (and other non-Australians), bogan basically means the equivalent of the American term "redneck" -- someone unsophisticated. (It's not a demonym for someone from Bogata. 🙂)
There is a slight difference in nuance between bogan and redneck, I feel. I think bogan sits somewhere between redneck and ghetto, minus the race subtext in the latter, but dialing up the class subtext to compensate.
THANKS, needed this clarification for sure!
@justinmorgon. Hi. "Bogan" isn't exactly the equivalent of American 'Redneck'. (it's just the nearest word/type to explain it). A better description of Bogan is "a bit rough" in style and speech. Jenny's accent is how some Bogans would also sound. (some, not all). However, there's also thing called "cashed-up" bogans. Definitely not unsophisticated, just might sound it from way they talk.
Of course there are also the many "true bogans".
After 4 or 5 VBs, or Fruitly Lexia, nearly everyone becomes Bogan, lol
There's several types of Bogans, just like there's (more than) several types of Australian accent. Jenny's is not common now in Melbourne or Sydney & in a lot of Brisbane any more, except in some outer suburbs.
Many Australians are commenting, in/on Jenny's videos it's the "most Australian" accent they've heard.
That type of Aus accent was common till the 90s, but in the cities, at least it's often more rounded now.
But there's also the frequent Euro-Australian accent, which is another, again.
(Although, quite a number of Austalians don't realise they're own accent is more "Australian" that they think)
@@citybeatdisco19 Thanks not in the slightest for that needlessly complicated, largely untrue essay.
@@markv1274 Are you Justin? No?! Was I talking to you?!!
Do you butt in on the other people conversations often, _ _ _ _ (see @4:05)
You've also misread some of it. When I said "real Bogans" in sentence after re "cashed up" Bogans, I wasn't referring to "Cashed up".
You've also missed the joke in it. Which was to imply the stuff before was best explanation for something that can't really be explained, in response to Justin's comment. (who didn't ask me for a comment, either; just like I didn't ask you, for one!).
I already pretty much have figured out where you are - actually it's more re you aren't because of your comment & rudeness, & you thinking there's not several aussie accents & which have changed over time. I also assume you've never been to Northern Australia.
The following is TRUE. There not one single Australian accent. The Qld accent (north of Brisbane) can be different to a Melbourne or Sydney inner-middle suburbs accent. An Adelaide accent is different to a Melbourne accent.
"Can be different". That does not mean it always. Differences can be subtle & nowhere like amount of difference of UK accents, & even north v south US accents.
Some Melbourne outer Westies' accent is closer to the Qld one, but in Sydney many westies accent has changed due to the change in demographics there.
As for the Melbourne Euro-Aussie accent in the 70s/80s watch Acropolis Now. Or for more recent, Superwog, on youtube. As for Sydney's west (some, not all!) accent, watch here come the habibs.
As for what used to be a more common Aussie accent in 70s/80s, watch early years of Neighbours & Home & Away. (Plenty clips on youtube)
Paul Hogan, Shane Warne, Rebel Wilson has aussie bogan accents, early on, but as they did more in media, their accents modified. Steve Irwin's accent never did, & it was a rare accent, at that time, but it was more common place, going back (Watch 'Dad & Dave' movies).
As for the
You may hear Jenny's type of accent more often where you are, but I've rarely heard it in East Cost inner suburbs & most middle suburbs for quite some years, except in Brisbane a bit.
That's not to say, that don't hear it on occasions in inner Melbourne/inner Sydney just not much.
How's that for an essay?! If you/anyone is (see @4:05), it's my way to be (@4:05) back.
I was going to put emojis where I mean things not seriously, but I can't be ar**d.
How that's for being real (see @4:10)

The joke from 2:32 about the corner - superb, thank you for making me laugh out loud, Jenny! :)
Australia is surprisingly diverse i would never think twice about anyone with an Australian accent
Just brilliant, can't wait to see more 😀😂
Will try to make it to your next show in Sydney Jenny. As a Chinese immigrant living in Sydney, your materials feel so relevant :)
Jenny, never heard of you, but now hooked; bloody hilarious 😆
and please know Queensland luvs you 🤗
I have to admit I have been guilty of stereotyping and prejudging. I had to call someone at work about a complex matter and their name was something like Heong Lin Choong and I was like, errrr, this could be painful. When they answered the phone they had the most Aussie accent. It made me chuckle afterwards and showed me after all these years it's still v. important to keep your mind open.
Brilliant stuff ❤
I was born in Australia in the late 1950's and I didn't see an Asian person until I must have been 15 or 16. They all had Asian accents and it wasn't until more Asian migrants arrived and then their children grew up that I always did a double take whenever a person of Asian appearance sounded like the kids I grew up. It took a few years not to be surprised, I'm sorry to say. Nowhere near as bad as my mother though. One of my nephews bought a new girlfriend to a big family thing and I heard my mother ask my nephew "Oh, she's Chinese, will she eat what we've got for the BBQ?" My nephew said "Jenny's Vietnamese, and she'll eat whatever." Later on my mother asked Jenny "How was the journey here?" Jenny said there wasn't a lot of traffic. "No, when you came over on the boat." Never saw Jenny again..........
pretty funny. I'll have to watch the full special.
Made me laugh with the drink driving bit, i chuckle aha
I love how her fake bogan twang comes and goes. 😂
Love it !
HAHA! We could have used you in the 1980's in North America. That sucked. Your videos rule and you make horror into gold. Love your work!
The living proof : Australia Has Talent.
Hahaha great set
"My face is Chinese but my voice makes it sound like I start fights at pubs." You go girl! Meaning, stay here and & keep at it. You're cool and too funny - typical self-effacing Aussie. Simply brilliant. Cheers from Sydney, AU.
Good job. Keep going, and happy new year
Lady Jenny thank you... enjoy your week 🦩
The way she said "MMA" got me into MMA
Now you can mention it in conversation 14x per day
That windows bounce joke was epic
keep up the work
Absolutely love it hahaha 😂 your awesome 😂
Great set five stars would chuckle at again
thank you for such intelligent comedy
The screen saver thing 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Good stuff. I look forward to more of it.
Lol you're very funny! Great job!
How much is the rent in the lane cove tunnel? I'm having trouble finding a place, the market these days is atrocious.
I was assuming that because she said Epping, the taxi trip was in Melbourne ... Epping is a long distance from the city, so I googled the tunnel thinking it might be some small one in the suburbs somewhere that I hadn't heard of.
Nope. Sydney.
@@jamesrowlands8971 Hi, & haha, I previously looked up distance from Melbourne to Sydney's Epping. Just for fun, as knew this was recorded in Sydney (from the jokes in other clips, from this 1 hour show).
Sydney's Epping (which you now know anyway, but mentioning for others who may not) is a middle-outer suburb, so travel time from Syd's CBD isn't much different, to the time from Melb's CBD to Melb's Epping.
About 10 or so minutes, depending if use freeways or usual roads.
If Jenny uses that joke when she's doing Melbourne Comedy Festival in March-April, same joke would work (say "staying there"), but she's going to have change the tunnel. lol. City Link tunnel might not get as as good as a laugh tho. Jenny also references Burwood in a joke, in another video, but again it's Burwood in Sydney, & the joke wouldn't work at all for Melb's Burwood
@@CBM_Walks thank you for this. I wondered if the context changed because a taxi fare to Epping would be pretty good. And the driver would be pissed if you got off at an inner city tunnel for sure. Even if you were legit living homeless in one of the escape ladders.
It does annoy me how much we reuse really Anglo place names here. I had all sorts of trouble living in Melbourne's Bayswater due to the one in NSW and WA.
Brilliant! ❤️
Very funny stuff!
You have natural talent and charisma, but most importantly, you're funny. You're gonna be real famous I think. Thanks for the laughs.
Jenny, you’re awesome! I’ve been on a few comedy cruises over the last year and I’d love to see you on one! You’d bring the house down!
Cheers, old sixty five year old bloke.
Pete.
Love your comedy don’t stop.
What comedy?
Jenny is all my ABC relos. Chinese with a broad Aussie accent.
This is funny. Well done
I’m in love!
You are the best of both world , beautiful Asian looks and wiked Aussie accent , keep up the great work you have a great sense of humor !
Once, I had a conversation with two young Aussie Caucasian girls working at a hostel in Sydney.
Aware that almost 50% of Australians are 1st or 2nd generation Australians, at some point, I asked where they were originally from.
One replied to me, her parents were from Germany, the other replied she was just a "regular" Australian.
When I asked her to clarify, she said her parents were from UK!
As a 10th or 11th generation british Australian, that’s a pommy, not a “regular Australian”
@@atriox7221 obviously she thought of herself as a regular "true" Australian because she is of british origin, even though she was no more Australian than the other girl. And no doubt, mainstream Australian society makes it, and wants it to feel that way
@@USUG0 I thought for that to be true the British person had to arrive with a one-way ticket sponsored by the contemporaneous ruler of Britannia?
Lane Cove Tunnel. LMFAO mate.
My name is Sergio and I have a southern accent. I TOTALLY relate with this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tasmania?
@@baerlauchstal Texas 🤣
@@TheRabidfan Were we just supposed to guess the country?
This is so relatable for ABCs, looking Asian and sounding Aussie. Especially for those who don’t wear heavy makeup, like ABGs.
It is, but technically she's not an ABC. She obviously grew up here but she was born in fucking Finland of all places. FBCAG. Finland born Chinese Australian Grown?
I can relate to this. Going through High School in 1990s Australia with two girls of Chinese descent but no Chinese accent whatsoever was interesting looking back. Almost nobody cared they were Chinese or even noticed really. We just didn't care. I asked one of them years latter if she copped any racism at High School and was surprised when she said yes. When she then told me it was some of the girls at the school who were dumber than a box of hammers I laughed and said who cares what they think. She didn't care what they said either.
China’s taking over… “Oh no” but then I remember I’m Chinese…”oh yay!” 🤣🤣
This bird is sound as……hahahahahhahaah
Good to see an australian chinese just be themselves. Embracing your special blend of aussieness and chinese heritage. 🎉
You are quite funny. I love your Aussie accent.
SHALL I YELL?
SO YOU UNDERTAND?😂
Wow an actually funny comedian! Good stuff!! Very 🤣🤣
Good stuff 😊💯👍
Side note: Did she mean to dress like a minion?
😂 You’re awesome. Gold in there!
I love the minion costume lol
Hahahah you're hilarious!!
Ignore negative comments online (unless they can be turned into great bits!). 😂 great stand up!
Y'know, she could just be making it up for her routine, right?
@0w784g oh no... My..world is...shattered now... 🤣 do you really think comedy is the place for verbatim story telling. That's the point. There's a kernel of truth that gets comedic flavour added to it.
You do know that, right? 😂
@@williamwillaims oh, man. What a train wreck of a reply… Maybe you should get into ignoring internet comments too.
@@no1hypocrite ok, cool guy 😎...on...the...internet 🤓
Its not about me at all.@@williamwillaims
Hysterical 🥰
Best asian ambassador everrrrrr

My fiddle player's parents immigrated to NZ from Taiwan. It's a fabulous surprise every time she talks to someone new!
