In Australia, if someone is trying to sell you something, or says everything is "fucked" even though it couldn't be, people do not respond well to it. We appreciate honesty, being more transparent and straight forward about a situation.
This comment is fucked. It’s leaking oil, bruva
Lebo is the australian shortening of Lebanese (People from the country of Lebanon), Australia has a very large immigrant population Lebanese are one such case but Australia also has the biggest Greek population outside of Greece and of course being that Australia is close to Asia there is a large amount of Asian visitors/migrants too, that's to name a few, there is dozens more of course.
Question.. Is there more Greeks or Italians in Melbourne?
Pronounced Leb-oh.
@@glennboyd939 yup, or maybe "Leb O" or "Leb ow", depends on how Ryan's going to pronounce the letters we say, cause it won't be how we do, which can mean our pronunciation guides can screw it up even more I think sometimes
It's a perjorative term for people from Lebanon.
@@glennboyd939 I would right it as lé-bow to show how to pronounce it
How can you not yet know that we drive on the opposite side from you?!
I know, it took him a whole ten seconds to remember that. Shame on him.
I haven't driven for nearly 20 years, and sometimes when I an Australian driving on tv, it takes a bit for me to register I'm not watching an American vehicle. I don't watch a lot of Aus tv.
That's what I keep saying 😂
The mechanics are Lebanese,it’s taking the Mickey out their culture 🤣
The 16 year old taking the beer made me laugh. When my son started bringing his mates over we put a padlock on our designated alcohol fridge on the back verandah. The look on their faces & the protests were hilarious! I said, “What? Do I look stupid? I remember what I got up to at 16”. They just looked absolutely heart broken & disappointed 🤣🤣
2:05 Yes. Steering wheel/driver's side is the right-hand side because we drive on the left side of the road. keep up!! Hahaha!
I think it dawned on him later, because he does know that we drive on the left side of the road. lol
@@cariaus3758 I know, but it is still hilarious! hahahaha!
So many Aus videos, and forgetting everything! xx
look i find it funny, but it still annoyed me that he said that "thats not right" like were aliens😀
'Waiting for a mate' was in my suburb, Carrum Downs, about 2 miles from my place
'You call it racism. We call it honesty' 💯
Fark, nearly nailed it with the Tim Tam. The rest of the world's opinion on Vegemite pisses me right off. I swear it's coz no one puts enough on! Try the serving size on one piece of "slightly" over done toast,,, perfection!
Enough or too much? They need to start off with a smidge then work their way up to more. We grew up with it. I have a large jar on hand at all times cause every reaction I watch makes me crave some.
Oh, Ryan, you have made a rod for your own back.
Trick with newborns is to have party noise a lot of the time. Then they can sleep through anything. (NB: not party noise *all* the time, then they wake when it's quiet)
True that, my friend had a baby just before Xmas, you should've seen how that baby slept in the middle of Xmas Day chaos. We were, screaming, singing, shouting that baby didn't wake up once, and he was sleeping in the lounge where we were, amazing!
We specifically made noise for all of our kids. They all sleep incredibly well now
Just wanted to let you know that wog isn't actually a slur. It's more a term of endearment. I'm friends with many people of Mediterranean descent, and they all refer to themselves as wogs.
Western Origin Gentlemen WOG
I think it's like the 'N' word now, they are allowed to use it on themselves but not everyone else.
Now it is. Back in the 80's it was fisticuffs.
It originally was a racial slur, it apparently comes from "Golliwog" which was an old black doll from the late 1800s, so the Brit-Aussies used it as a racial term when Mediterranean people arrived because we are typically tanned and brown. Now we use it among ourselves since we are proud of our heritage. The words history is kind of like the N word in America in a way, first used as a racial term but then used among themselves.
It was originally a slur, but has not been for some time. My family happily refer to ourselves as wogs.
Bank notes are one of the dirtiest things on planet, so laundering your polymer notes is a good idea lol. I do sometimes
Steering wheel is on the right hand side and we drive on the left. I used to drive a holden nova in the early 2000s - it was basically a rebadged toyota corolla.
DAMN YOU GOT A MAGICAL FRIDGE FAIRY THAT PUTS FOOD AND BEER IN THE FRIDGE, WHERE CAN I GET ONE
I've got the opposite - a magical fridge fairy that drinks my beer while I'm not looking.
@@oakfat5178 BUGGER, HOPE YOU CATCH THEM AND KICK THEIR ASS
Bit like Troy Kinne's magic coffee table.
That 'Knock Knock' joke had me pissing myself, what a hilarious dad. I love grumpy old bastards.
I'm sorry from the normal mob in Australia. I was cringing so hard watching these thinking the world is gonna think we are tossers!!!( Except for Carls bit, he's a legend) SMH. So embarrassed! TikTok is just wrong on so many levels.
Yeah, I agree - a lot of them just acting up for the views. You might get a few like that but it's definitely not the everyday Aussies. TikTok is not a great place if you are looking for the real people.
Yup i was cringing too...hate TikTok...
You do not put your sleeping baby into his crib, you put your awake baby into his crib to go to sleep. I never tip toed around my kids when they were small as they had to get use to falling asleep with noise and they did.
Ryan looks tired tonight, he might need to sleep like a baby. 🤣
Surely someone here knows someone from Qantas. I think we need to make it our mission to bring Ryan and his family here to Australia. Im sure there's more than enough people here who could provide a car and accommodation to let them see plenty of sights.
Bring Ryan to Oz!!! 😁
Yes! But I don’t know anyone from Qantas though. Anyone?
You must react to that programme showing all the drunk people getting the breathalyser done ...the weirdest reactions..it's so funny
Ryan, try getting a lambs wool / sheep skin for your baby to sleep on. They use them in hospitals. My four used them, works well.
We were lucky enough to see Carl Barron live a few years back. I was on the fence about him as I'd only seen comedy festival routines, like 10 mins long. After that show though I was SOLD, he was so funny!! My Irish husband had no idea who we was walking into that show and he walked out saying it was some of the funniest stuff he'd seen
Ryan, I always put my babies down with music playing or the radio on. The best way to not wake up
Of course the steering wheel is on the right. When you drive on the left -as we do, the SW is on the right. When you drive on the right -as you do, SW is on the left.
Ryan, if you want to see a couple Aussie-Lebos taking the absolute piss out of Aussie-Lebo culture check out "Superwog". Often enough foreigners aren't quite sure how to take it - (Is this racist? Should I be laughing?) - but as an Aussie, I think these guys are hilarious. "Highway Patrol" and "Border Security" are good for starters.
LOVE SUPERWOG!!
6:55 it’s easier to keep track when you have a dedicated beer fridge…
Obviously some Aussie misunderstood money laundering
😅😅😅🤦🏼♀️
Hahaha good one🤣
Another week and still glad I don't have tiktok 👍
edgy
My first thought was with the 16 year old beer "thief": Why steal buy one, just not the cheapest or American water with beer flavor. Then I remembered that I am so used to the way it is in Germany. I had a beer from time to time since 14 when you can drink it legally with your parents consent. Nothing major just a bottle at a BBQ or something.
2:08 because we drive on the opposite side of the road, our cars are right hand drive, which is a big reason you won’t see many US cars in Australia - the conversion is a pain
Great reaction.. yes you should definitely react to Tim Minchin as he’s hilarious and so talented plus also superwogs which is great..I agree about the gamers..once we went into lockdown my hubby said “well we will never see our son again” then we high fived each other..he basically got paid by the government to play games in his room..I thought I passed him once in the hallway but it was just a shadow 😂
I personally find it hilarious that every Aussie slang term we have for any group of people is defined as a slur in the US, but to us Aussies it's just a word, no slur about it. It's like how Americans can call someone an African-American without it being a slur. We have plenty of other ways and words to insult people with, we don't need to use slurs. Shortening a word or using a slang term doesn't automatically mean it's being used in a negative way or with a negative connotation.
4:30 Ryan if you come to Australia don't call anyone a C#NT if you do expect a hole lot of trouble unless it's a really good friend .
But you should call your good mates c#unts, otherwise how will they know they’re mates.
I remember growing up, drinking age in clubs was 21. Which I always thought was wrong as you had to register for national service at 18 and if your birthday was called, you had to enlist in the army. So you could be sent overseas to fight but you could not legally get into a club. Explain that??????
When I did national service, they put white strip's on the eppealets of our uniforms so we would not get served in pubs. So we had to get someone to get a carton of beer for us and drink it elsewhere. We're
Australians, make a rule, we'll find a way to get round it!
Sounds like the way my dad and I 🤣🤣 talk to each other. Mum always thought we were fighting. It amused us.
In case you're wondering, the Holden Nova was a rebadged Toyota Corolla, they were assembled in the same factory. They also did this with the Toyota Camry/Holden Apollo and Holden Commodore/Toyota Lexcen, all three examples were manufactured between 1989-1997.
Badge Engineering, Nissan Pulsar /Holden Astra.
Carl Barron is hilarious and famous Aussie comedian, you should look up some of his stuff. He came here to New Zealand and I saw him live, I laughed so hard I was crying and my stomach and face hurt from all the laughter. Aussie is pronounced like Ozzie for Ozzie Osbourne. There’s no S sound, even though there is an S in Australia 😂 Just a thing lol
Ryan steering wheel on right side of car so close to centre line of road.
We obey left hand traffic laws. Hope that clears it up. Love leisa Western Australia xx
Your fridge sounds like old mates magic laundry basket and coffee table. Shit just disappears and appears lol
10:15 my son was the same, I had to rock him while putting him into his vibrating bed 😅
That must have been Angry Dad. Ry, have a look at Angry Dad. Funny AF.
I feel the people posting these are" bogans" . Except for Carl Barron. He's a great comedian..
Thank you for your content sir. As an Australian thank you for trying to understand us :) we’re different.
How do you throw a U turn?
Same way you throw a party 🤪
Good to know Aussie TikTok is the same as anywhere else....
To explain the Holden Nova (car), it's what's called Badge Engineered, where for example a Holden Commodore in Australia is marketed as a Pontiac G8 in the USA, or the Chrysler 300c is marketed as the Lancia Theta in Europe. Well the Holden Nova is a Toyota Corolla, the Apollo is a Toyota Camry, the Toyota Lexcen is a Holden Commodore.
There’s another term for a U-Turn here, and that’s a ‘U-Bolt’. That’s where you’re chuckin’ an illegal U-Turn, and you just bolt!!!
Yeah the steering wheel is on the right, and yes its correct if you drive in Australia, as we drive on the left lol
The “waiting for a mate” part is a clip for a show called Highway Patrol, the man was drink driving and crashed his car.
The drinking age is 18 for you to buy your own drinks in Australia, but if you have your parents supervision and they buy you the drink and they say it’s okay if you can have a drink you have to be up at the age of 16 and 17 but no younger😁.
Him- Why was I thinking that they drive on the right side?
Me- because we do
2:10 in Australia our driver seat is on the right side of the car you also drive on the left side of the road
Yes Please watch Tim Minchin's Lullaby and anything else by the great man especially Prejudice
Chopper Read was still alive when this skit was recorded...he died 2013, and even Chopper thought this bloke was funny, as i guess it helped his notoriety !? 😂
The road rage venting commentary is a real thing. It’s more like the bark is bigger than the bite type of thing though. We’re just real expressive and opinionated drivers. People in South Australia are the worst drivers though, it hurts to drive in this state! 😂😭🚗
Ryan you should check out clips from a tv show called Russel coight’s all Aussie adventures.
Yeah our steering wheels are on the right hand side of the cars and we drive on the left hand side of the road. This is why I nearly got run over in America when I went there!
2:06 here's the thing m8, in Australia we drive on the left side of the road, therefore the steering wheel is on the right side. Very confusing for Americans, but that's how it works.
08:05 That's Korean, one of the languages I'm learning. Australia has a huge immigration population. At one point last century, a whole new suburb had street signs in both Japanese and English. These have since been replaced I believe.
Here's how to offend an Aussie who goes for NSW in state of origin, " CHEERS MATE, WHO YOU GOING FOR IN THE ORIGIN" AND THEN YOU SAY " QUEENSLAND" 😑😐😑😐 " You-
Ryan u just GOTTA try Milo but u gotta do it the aussie way..... its like vegemite..... u can screw it up.... only the more u use the better with Milo... try it hot AND cold or even just eat spoonfuls of it xxx
5 sppons of Milo to 30ml of milk is best
@@I_Quarter_ just pour a lil milk in the can lol xxx
@queeng5925 smart, I'll do that 🤣
"Why does it look like the steering wheel is on the right side? that's not right!" ... teehee, We drive on the left and the driver sits on the right. Same as the UK, NZ, et al.
Lebo mechanic is Lebanese 😂 legend of a video Ryan 😂🇦🇺👍
Our steering wheels are on the right side!!! Aus & NZ. Yours is on the wrong side lol :)
During covid, yes, some people did wash their money like that!
I gave some money to a carer to buy something for me, money that I had withdrawn from the bank before covid & had been sitting in my home, unused all pandemic, but she felt the need to take it home & wash it before taking it to the store to buy what I wanted with it!!!!!!
She called me specifically to tell me how dirty the water had been when she washed it lol - which I guess means most people don't wash their money like that.
Most people in Australia that freak out over dirty money just pay with cards
Bunch of sooks being brainwashed by the telle.
"why does it look like the steering wheel is on the right side" my guy, are you serious?!
Drinking age in licenced premiss in Australia is 18, there is no drinking age limit for drinking in private premise, only requirement is the parent/guardian or someone with the permission of the parent/guardian must be the one supplying the alcohol & must supervise appropriately. Not sure how old I was when I started drinking, was always normal for me, first a sip from my parent's glass, then when I got older, a wine glass of my own at dinner, with a tiny bit in it, then I found the shot glasses in the liquor cabinet & loved them, I was allowed to have a "full glass" of wine in one of those!
First time I got seriously drunk was when I was 10, at a parent's birthday, not on purpose, I didn't realise how much of the hard stuff was in the punch & I was bored towards the end of the party & literally drank half the punch bowl for something to do. Put me off drinking for a while lol.
Most of my friends were the same, parents raised us that way so there wouldn't be a novelty of drinking/getting drunk when we turned 18 & it worked well, by the time I was 18, I was fully aware of how alcohol worked & what I could & couldn't handle & had no desire to drink just to get drunk or to rebel against parents, since they didn't care. Great way to do it imo!
I also used to drink regularly when going out with my family for dinner at licenced premises, which was technically illegal, but I'm old enough to have been from the era when stuff like that was never enforced if there wasn't a problem in what was happening. Don't think there was ever a time I didn't try whatever wine my parents were drinking, just to experience the different flavours. At one really posh one we went to when I was really little, waiter jokingly offered me some wine while pouring it for my parents, so I said "yes please", to his shock lol he was "oh no, no no" but my parents said it was fine, so I ended up drinking wine from my own wine glass at this super posh restaurant, which kinda made my night :)).
In my experience at least, kids drinking isn't taken as being such a big issue in Australia compared to in the US. Same with coffee too, I remember watching a US tv show where they made a big deal out of the kid wanting to drink a coffee & obviously not being allowed to. Was normal for me to drink coffee as a kid too & I've never heard of any Aussie kid not being allowed to if they wanted to
Holden nova, was the result of the federal government mandating badge engineering of cars in Australia to rationalise the number of car models. So the Toyota corolla also became the Nova ( which was a chevy nameplate in America). Ford/Nissan did it the Nissan patrol and the Ford maverick as well, plus other models.
Thanks Ryan,I've finally found your address to send you the dox of goodies from Sth. Aus. Hope you receive it in the near future. All the best. Fran.
Americans: oh no I dropped my money in my pool
Australians: hey guys to day I’m gonna show you how to wash you dollars
6:26 My grandpa used to shitstir my mum saying stuff like this. "The light is green now... go!"
Holden Nova is a Toyota Corolla hatch (was also sedans). Holden (General Motors in Australia) rebadged them with a few small cosmetic alterations (still had a Toyota toolkit with its spare wheel and toyota branding on things like tail lights). Toyota in turn used the commodore for a larger sedan and badge it with a Toyota emblem.
Also that Nova is worth more now than it was about 5-10 years ago (often up for a few thousand due to its economy and reliability). If its relatively ok condition with moderate KMs (under 250k) and roadworthy its probably $5k +. Far more if it has one of the more desirable engines (not sure Holden got them or if Toyota kept them in house but a 4AGE corolla of that vintage in good condition is 10k+).
My favourite Aussie song. Sums us up in one.🙂
2:06 yes the driver side on the the right because we give on the left side of the road
Sometimes when I play games that have cars I go into the right side of the car thinking it's the driver side
We do drive on the right side, you guys drive on the wrong side. :P
2:11 Countries that drive on the left put the steering wheel on the right because it's better for driving on the left
The Holden Nova was a rebadged Toyota Corolla in the 90s . Alot of car companies were sharing cars. Holden was the Australian GM . As much as that guy disrespects that car , it's at least 25 years old and still going. Probably uses almost no fuel .
Haha I used to own one. Bought it off my grandpa. Really good little car and cheap to run - it just didn't like going up hills very much lol
“Why is the steering wheel on the right side? That’s not right….” 🤦♂️
Was someone shooting at him🤣🤣🤣🤣..um nope..in Australia there would be more chance of pink unicorns flying out of his butt than anyone including the cop pulling a gun out🤦♀️
Yes, in Australia the steering wheel is on the right side of the car, and we drive on the left side of the road. :>
WOG isn't a slur, it was lost in translation over time. I was told its an acronym for western origin gentleman, it was an old way of referring to people from western countries to Australia. There wasn't a specific culture or ethnicity to the reference.
The drinking age used too be higher, but I think either after WW1 or WW2 they lowered it too 18. They basically used the argument, if we we can give them guns and send them too war, they should be able too have a drink before they leave and if they return.
2:06 you know we drive on the opposite side of the road to you guys and our steering is on the opposite side too, just like you when you drive it puts you in the middle side of the road.
thanks for another great video 😊😊
Steering wheel IS on the right side, Ryan. We drive on the left side of the road (like normal people).
They're driving on a " Dual carrigway' with two lanes going one way and two lanes going the other way separeted by grass or trees etc
The mechanic said radiator and gearbox, not libo or whatever it is you heard 😂
In cars in Australia the steering wheel is on the right hand side of the car and we drive on the left side of the road
G'day Ryan
reason drinking age in Aus is 18 is that a big stink was kicked up
when guys were conscripted to go to Vietnam , in the Army, the politicians
had no choice but to legislate to bring it down from 21.
Aussies were incensed you could die for your country but you could not
have a beer (or have a cigarette).
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for that I don't know why but I enjoyed it
2:05 yes our car seats are opposite to Americans and practically everywhere else, we also drive on the left side instead of the right cause, well…idk but it just makes sense to us I guess?
4:42 Calling my cat is like the kissy sounds so I don't call the cat if the neighbour is close by. I call the dog is with clicks. You don't have to yell they have better hearing than you.
Steering wheel is on the right side of the car in Australia. We drive in the left.
Lebo is someone who is from Lebanon or there offspring. And the reason why you forgot we drove on the left & the steering wheel is on the right, maybe you are sleep deprived because of the new bub.
Note the mirrored text on the t- shirt!! The steering wheel would be reversed too.
The guy in the car that the cop was talking to about his car being damaged was pissed.
My first car was a Holden Nova - it was just a rebadged Toyota Corolla.
Yes our steering wheel is on the right hand side of the car
the traffic one is too true
Hey Ryan. I actually agree with the US when it comes to the drinking age. Our 18yr olds can drink, drive and vote all at the same time of their lives. I think we should at least have Drivers Ed in school. To help them understand how dangerous drinking and driving is. Me at 18 Meh, I won't get caught..... 😅
@@jcldctt Well, there you go, use a bit of reverse psychology on your kids to eat greens. Who would have thunk? 😁
I'm pretty sure australians can drink at 15 as long as your in a private area with responsible adults.
@@jcldctt Yeah. Like wearing seatbelts. They never do that. In other words, it has to be phased out so it becomes "The norm" like wearing a helmet on a bike.
Nah yanks laws are faaaarked.
Steering wheel on the right side of the car? Ryan, we drive on the left, like the British - wake up, mate! I've also seen you wonder why "the fast lane" on double-lane highways is on the right, rather than the left. Same reason! 🤔Hmmm....
He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, still struggles saying emu.
@@imagik2446 Yes, it's odd how much "emu" pronounced (ee-moo) instead of (eem-yoo) bugs so many of us, myself included. The other one is "Aussies" pronounced with an "SS" sound (o-sees) instead of a "ZZ" (o-zees). Fortuitously, this latter mispronunciation is not as common as it once was, say, 20 years ago, before the internet took us over, like a fungus.
The steering wheel is on the right side of the car, we drive on the left side of the road, so everything is opposite in the car.
