To clarify the references you didn't get: Khe Sanh is a song by Australian band, Cold Chisel and if you're at a pub and the song starts playing you can be sure there will be a fair number of Patrons singing along. The All Blacks are New Zealand's national rugby union side, and are Australia's traditional rivals. The two teams play for the Bledisloe cup every year, and New Zealand have over the years been the dominant side. I love your posts, and appreciate the interest and insights you have about some of the more unusual aspects of Australian culture. I always enjoy hearing what you have to say.
Khe Sanh is also referred to as the unofficial Australian national Anthem. Before the Sydney Olympics, more Aussies knew the words to Khe Sanh than the actual National Anthem.
Yeah, New Zealand is very un Australian, WA failed to be unAustralian hard enough and ended having to join the Commonwealth, Fiji was too unAustralian and did there own thing too. The All Black's are thus very unAustralian, being a Kiwi rugby team with great mana.
@@davidhedgcock8690 I just tried to write out the lyrics to Khe Sanh from memory and got about 5 words wrong and even those were close. Feeling really bloody good about myself, not gunna lie. I have to admit, I have mixed feelings about the song, it's top notch, don't get me wrong, but Chisel just got overplayed so much during the 80s and 90s that have an instinctual groan reflex when I hear it. Same goes for Farnsey, Farnsey and Barnsey, love 'em, but really just don't want to hear them anymore. Still, while I groan, I will of course still belt the lyrics out to any chisel tune if I happen to encounter it in the wild. Cheap wine and a three-day growth Cheap wine and a three-day growth Come on!!!
What is unAustralian is that we do not celebrate the six British Colonies in Australia uniting into a federation. This occurred on January 1 st 1901 when Australia became a self-governing nation. This is the Federation of Australia Day that we should be celebrating with a lamb chop!
Khe Sanh is a song by an Australian group Cold Chisel Tha All Blacks is New Zealand's rugby team, the guy who made the comment was wearing an Australian Jersey
The windmill was probably in reference to the Dutch discovering "New Holland" before the Brits came and colonized the country. There's also a lot of Dutch immigrants here.
Khe Sanh is a Cold Chisel song, sang by Jimmy Barnes (you have to check it out) it's about our boy's and how Vietnam affected them! The All Blacks are the NZ national rugby union football team. Of course beetroot belongs on a burger!!! it's a salad item, therefore it belongs and it's Yummo!!!!
"Go the All Blacks!" It is indeed un-Australian for an Aussie to support the New Zealand All Blacks rugby union team, especially when they consistently beat us! 😂
The ones that went a bit quick at the end: The guy who talked about the exile BBQ, his workmates were arguing about whether being a bludger is un-Australian or just lazy. The guy in the Australian rugby shirt said “go the All Blacks” The guy on the right, “I’m a weak swimmer” The woman on the left “beetroot doesn’t belong on a burger” All of course exceptionally in-Australian 😆
It is hard to believe that there was a time when sheep were for wool, not meat. Once you could bet a side of lamb for $20 now you need $20 to get a couple of lamb chops!
Khe San is an antiwar song kinda like The Band Played Waltzing Matilda. The All Blacks is the New Zealand Rugby team, it is unAustralian to barrack for them. You might want to do an episode on “I was only 19” a song about Australia’s experience in Vietnam. Or not. You are doing a great job, Kaitlyn. (I am Australian and i will need to watch that advert many times to pick up ALL of the jokes.)
Lot of visual unAustralian in this great ad, the single croc shoe, the radar policeman behind a bush, the parking officers (grey ghosts) to name a few.
4:46 We had some blokes from Malaysia here building and they would throw out the beetroot in their smoko. I don't know if they had seen it before but they did not like it. Real beetroot is sweet but the canned one is full of salt and vinegar. Pineapple on everything else ;) Salty ham then any sweet tropical fruit with it. The true sweet and sour sauce Japanese style is equal parts. For quantity 1 tbsp white vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, 1tbsp good quality soy sauce. When you taste it it should mess with your senses. Tune the mix to taste. It does mess with you the sweet the sour and the salt. I once left it in a pot for 3 days and nothing happened it is all preservative. My ancestors owned a pub and the Japanese chef used to make it this way and I learnt from my Mother. All other sweet and sour sauces are just okay.
The last scenes are a treasure trove of Australian un-Australian - the croc, windmill from Holland, underarm bowling at cricket (goes to an infamous action by an Australian in a Test to ensure the win in a game - no one was impressed) etc.
if you haven't heard, or like, Cold Chisel's Khe Sanh then you need to, FAST, or you might go POOF, and get exiled. LOL. Seriously, you should do a few Aussie music reactions, like Cold Chisel, Farnsey, Midnight Oil, and ACDC. The list is endless. Love your work. Cheers. BTW, the All Blacks are New Zealand's rugby team, so even mentioning them is un-Australian. 😃
Love Australia Day and right time of year. Could move it off 26th though. It’s only signifies the establishment of a penal colony in NSW (which wasn’t all of Australia back then, just most of it). If it was 25th or 27th, who cares. It’s the celebration not the date.
@JohnH they should make Australia Day, when Australia finally becomes a republic, and leaves the Commonwealth, I voted for a republic in the referendum in 1999, when that day happens that should be Australia Day, just a thought.
2:42 I nearly walked out of the smoko room with half a pie in my hand today. I turned around to finish my smoko. Pies are great to carry around. Top truckie food along with the Chiko roll. 1 chiko roll is you daily calorie allowance. The nutritionist was stunned when I said I eat 2 for smoko.
There was no way I was going to explain to you any of the references you missed because I came here knowing there would be thousands of others who would. I came here to read THEIR comments. You’re a brave girl taking this on !!
Hilarious compilation of 'un-Australian' things 😊 Kaitlyn, if you don't know Khe Sanh (classic Cold Chisel rock song about a Vietnam veteran who has PTSD) we might have to review your residency status 🤓 😂 BTW I literally ate a meat pie with a knife & fork today 😂
7:00 Lamb has a taste. I bought last year 2 halves of a cow and one whole lamb. I can eat beef everyday but lamb has a taste to it you love but you go off it. It is not an everyday meat. A bit like pork I can't eat pork everyday or even chicken for that fact. Fish is everyday because I can't catch them everyday they are a treat.
1:12 Tall poppy is when you boast and then everyone else goes out of their way to cut you down. When my family was in business my sister wanted to buy an AUDI I said no just buy a Falcon it is a taxi so clients can hop in and out and it also looks like you are doing ok and not too rich. A good business plan. When you go too well the competitors will cut you down. Now even an old Falcon can be expensive.
The all blacks is a reference to the uniform of the New Zealand Rugby team, there is always a friendly rivalry between Australia and New Zealand. Khe San is an Australian cult song by the Australian band Cold Chisel(Jimmy Barnes).
Yea, not knowing the words to Khe-San is why you should be on the last plane out of Sydney….. And barracking (rooting) for the NewZealand National Rugby Team…known as The All Blacks (uniform colour) , that bloody plane should land you in Auckland….not chasing Chinese faded princess in Hong Kong all night long. Aussie Aussie Aussie….OiOiOi Cheers.
Greg Norman said once , If you drive a Mercedes in USA people will say Gee he has done well but here in OZ people will say look at that Wanker . That was his way to describe the tall poppy syndrome . Basically we don't like people who think they are better than others , everyone should be equal but good luck to those that take the opportunities I say !
Khe Sanh is a place in Vietnam where Australian troops were stationed during the Vietnam war. One of the greatest Pub Rock bands Cold Chisel, fronted by Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss, wrote a song about it and what it did to the men stationed there.
Actually it was American troops not Australian troops at Khe Sanh and Don Walker always thought people would pick him up on it, but they haven't. John Schumann - who wrote I'm only 19 asked Don if he sang it could he change the words to Long Tan which is where Aussie fought and Don said "not only was it absolutely okay with me but 'good on you'." Cheers
Actually Don Walker wrote the song for himself and it wasn’t supposed to be recorded until the producer of their first album needed more songs and convinced them to put it on the album. The band thought it was too Country at the time.
@@travelsolo2677 it also banned from being played on the radio due sex and drug abuse, so it only had moderate success. And look at it now most sung song in Australia. We seems to get passed down through generations, my daughter loves it.🇭🇲🇭🇲
I love this year's add, and the answers to your queries are below. However, if you've never had a 'burger with the lot' from the local fish and chip shop you're certainly doing yourself an injustice and will soon realise that beetroot is great on a burger and if you're thinking it doesn't belong on a burger from Macca's or HJs then yes, I agree. I can't honestly remember the last time I had a burger from Macca's or HJ's because they're just bulk produced greasy, sloppy mank!
@@bluedog1052 Figures are freely available from Dept of Agriculture. 1,354 were trapped and shot by government contractors just in National Parks.

Love your work and how you have embraced Australia and it’s quirks . What a great idea if you did a series on a lap of Australia. Your USA audience would go through the roof .
I can’t believe that you’ve been in Aust for over a year and you don’t know about Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel. Khe Sanh is one of their most popular songs. Surely your husband knows about all this.
Yes I agree, I bet your husband has not taught you Waltzing Matilda either. So sad. I bet that's the 1 song he sings to himself driving late at night. (I bet he prefers Khe Sanh thou)🤣😅😂
Reading the comments most of it has been covered but you of all people should've noticed the big yellow hunk of Yanky iron. .A C3 Stingray to be exact. I deserve to be in exile myself as I've got 2 lhd cars 67 Mustang and 55 F100. Oh and a Milwaukee built 93 FXSTC LOL Now go watch some Barnsey vids. Cheap Wine and a 3 day growth 😂
I'm loving this ad. I don't know how they manage to be so playful. I guess it's because its playing with icons that we are very fond of, but ultimately don't really matter very much. Like we can have an argument about pineapple on pizza, but it doesn't really divide people like covid vaccinations or political party divisions. So here I am, never got into beer (Un Australian!) Love Kombucha but don't drink alcohol much (Un Australian!) Don't even follow any sport (Un Australian!) but I'm not offended, I'm laughing.
2:13 More funny if you have ever been to an outback pub. It is quiet and no one there except two skinny old blokes with a beer in their hands. Every now and again they shout at each other some profanities. That bloke is the skinny fella I have seen. Great acting.
Approximately 30,000 Dingoes were killed by 1080 poison or trapped and shot in 2021/22 just so we can have a few lamb chops in the freezer for invasion day.
All Blacks are the New Zealand's national rugby union team. Khe Sanh is a great Cold Chisel song. Should have a listen to it and their many other great songs.
6:22 The big question is why don't Americans know of lamb and mutton? We don't seem to have mutton anymore as lamb makes more money. We used to eat a lot of mutton as children as it was cheaper. Big export opportunity !!!!!! Wool would be cheaper to produce than cotton and use less water....... Don't say big industry is wrong they get angry.
*Gasp!* What's Khe Sanh?! I can't believe Mark hasn't introduced you to our unofficial national anthem! It's by 70s/80s rock band Cold Chisel and it's about a Vietnam vet and his return to civilian life and the lingering effects of the war. I bet more Aussies know the words to Khe Sanh than our actual national anthem 🤣. And the All Blacks are the New Zealand rugby team. Any born and bred Australian barracking for them deserves to be in exile 😆.
“tall poppy syndrome” usually means a person who has reached a high level of success and has a pretty public profile is often susceptible to being ridiculed if an opportunity presents itself.
Time for an Australian baptism Kaitlyn. That being on a road trip with Cold Chisel playing their hits. Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Cheap Wine, Forever Now and Bow River are as Aussie as Waltzing Matilda.
Got my lamb roast for the rotisserie. I will make some rissoles (Might be French) . Wack some Mother of herb in the rissoles it grows in the backyard without care and gives so much flavour to all meat dishes, native to Mexico I think. I made some blue jelly for the kids in a big tub and put jelly frogs in it so there is frogs in the pool. It was going to be jelly babies but babies in the pool might not survive and be seen to be bad . Snakes in the pool is on the other side of bad so frogs it is. Have a great Australia day. Eggs and tomatoes would be a luxury right now then the potatoes. My okra is up but has not flowered yet, a bit late.
All Blacks is the NZ Rugby Union team. There's a little, tiny, bit of rivalry between Aus & NZ about sport (and everything else, for that matter). The joke from both sides of the ditch is "I go for two teams, Australia and whoever is playing against New Zealand". Flip it for their side. Tall Poppy Syndrome is where people automatically pull down those who have a measure of success. This same behavior is seen in a number of cultures around the world. It's tied into the idea of acting above your station. It's real, although many try to deny it. Take Kylie Minogue, one of the greatest singing stars to come out of Australia. She was despairingly called "The Singing Budgie" early on in her career and is still called it to today. Personally I think it's tied to our 'cultural cringe' where we (as a nation) never got over the idea that we're second rate, that Australian Culture could never rival 'the old country's' culture.
Khe Sanh, is to Australians as Don McClean's American Pie is to Americans. All Blacks, a NZ rugby team are to Australians as Toronto Blue Jays were to Americans in 92 and 93. Except when it comes to the All Blacks, for Australians, it's ground hog day.
I'm writing this from exile it's bloody beaut yeah I ate a pie with knife and fork for breekie today [ true story I didn't have and reconstructed egg and bacon { quiche }] I don't think I know the words to Khe Sanh { I did see chisel live at 18 bloody beaute }and I bet you know who the All Blacks are by now but what is really Un Australian is that I had to finally see the add in it's entirety on U tube instead of the telly where their paid to air it thanks Kaitlyn have a barbie tomoroz and beer or wine and enjoy Australia day
Oh Kaitlyn! The All Blacks are the NZ Rugby National team. They are traditionally very good. The only thing wrong with them is that they never, EVER let us beat them, even though we are 6 times their size as a nation. It is a bit like Canada vs US in ice hockey, if Canada always wins.
Don't worry I don't know the words to khe sang either and it came out when I was in my late teens and a music fanatic , just cold chisel weren't my cup of tea
Sam has been on the lamp for years with these adds, even the epic fails became legendary. Saying Unsustralian is probably the only time the average piston headed, BBQ burning bundy swilling, 5 front teeth missing bogan will pronounce Australia correctly. Wouldn't be stralian to say unaustralian like un a stra lin..
If you do something that hurts someone else, like cheating or any bad behaviour etc. We consider that 'UnAustralian' - think of how Aussies are - any action that contradicts who we are as people is considered UnAustralian....I liked last years ad better...but this one is funny too. All Blacks are the Kiwi's footy team...He cheered them on - UnAustralian! Haha
Oh dear, Kaitlyn! "Khe San" is a Cold Chisel song about the affects of the Vietnam war, and a famous battle involving Australian troops. The "All Blacks"...? Oh dear lady! They are the New Zealand Ruby (Union) team... mortal enemies of Aussies football.
I can't believe that you are married to an Aussie an you have not heard Khe Sanh how un Australian of your husband. Even if you don't like Cold Chisel it's a right of passage. It will be played tomorrow.🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Finally. Australia learns to laugh at itself. I guarantee you the Advertising agency that came up with this level of genius was heavily Influenced by ex pat Poms. Its funny because it's true.
love your stuff Kait (sorry too Aussie to type it all) With the G'day pronunciation. the Giday you say has too many letters. Ditch the i and give gday a go, please! We have infected you with Aussie too much not to try and perfect you. Lotsa love from a long time fan kid, keep up the great work. BTW forget about the All Blacks. They don't count, they are Kiwis. Hahahaha - that will get some of them wound up!
Only a matter of time before ANZAC day follows Australia Day into oblivion. As for our flag I'm amazed it's lasted as long as it has although displaying our national flag is now considered racist in many circles.
um isn't ironic that you say last years was tasteless, cause it wasn't PC, but you want to see non-PC ones? I loved last year's one, that's what makes Australia great, that we can laugh even in the face of adversity & you probably should watch & react to Khe Sanh & Jimmy Barnes if you don't know who he is/what that song is :)
The price of lamb in this country is UNAUSTRALIAN!!

Khe Sanh is one of their most popular songs.
Surely your husband knows about all this.
Yes I agree, I bet your husband has not taught you Waltzing Matilda either. So sad. I bet that's the 1 song he sings to himself driving late at night. (I bet he prefers Khe Sanh thou)🤣😅😂
Khe Sanh is a town in Vietnam.
Khe Sanh - th-cam.com/video/inKlN0ScObA/w-d-xo.html. All Blacks are a NZ football team.
The All Black are the New Zealand Rugby team, and supporting them is definitely un-Australian.
Reading the comments most of it has been covered but you of all people should've noticed the big yellow hunk of Yanky iron. .A C3 Stingray to be exact. I deserve to be in exile myself as I've got 2 lhd cars 67 Mustang and 55 F100. Oh and a Milwaukee built 93 FXSTC LOL
Now go watch some Barnsey vids. Cheap Wine and a 3 day growth 😂
I'm loving this ad. I don't know how they manage to be so playful. I guess it's because its playing with icons that we are very fond of, but ultimately don't really matter very much. Like we can have an argument about pineapple on pizza, but it doesn't really divide people like covid vaccinations or political party divisions. So here I am, never got into beer (Un Australian!) Love Kombucha but don't drink alcohol much (Un Australian!) Don't even follow any sport (Un Australian!) but I'm not offended, I'm laughing.
2:13 More funny if you have ever been to an outback pub. It is quiet and no one there except two skinny old blokes with a beer in their hands. Every now and again they shout at each other some profanities. That bloke is the skinny fella I have seen. Great acting.
Approximately 30,000 Dingoes were killed by 1080 poison or trapped and shot in 2021/22 just so we can have a few lamb chops in the freezer for invasion day.
What’s Khe Sanh??? It’s the unofficial co national anthem with Your the Voice!!
All Blacks are the New Zealand's national rugby union team.
Khe Sanh is a great Cold Chisel song.
Should have a listen to it and their many other great songs.
Hubby is cooking lamb as we speak on Australia Day
didja notice the corvette?
When you can drunkenly bellow Khe Sanh then you are officially Australian.
All Blacks - Kiwi Rugby Team. Known to often give the Australian Rugby team a pisseling.
i'm not really a fan of lamb chops/cutlets, but slow-cooked lamb shanks where the meat just melts off the bone are really good
6:22 The big question is why don't Americans know of lamb and mutton? We don't seem to have mutton anymore as lamb makes more money. We used to eat a lot of mutton as children as it was cheaper. Big export opportunity !!!!!! Wool would be cheaper to produce than cotton and use less water....... Don't say big industry is wrong they get angry.
*Gasp!* What's Khe Sanh?! I can't believe Mark hasn't introduced you to our unofficial national anthem! It's by 70s/80s rock band Cold Chisel and it's about a Vietnam vet and his return to civilian life and the lingering effects of the war. I bet more Aussies know the words to Khe Sanh than our actual national anthem 🤣.
And the All Blacks are the New Zealand rugby team. Any born and bred Australian barracking for them deserves to be in exile 😆.
“tall poppy syndrome” usually means a person who has reached a high level of success and has a pretty public profile is often susceptible to being ridiculed if an opportunity presents itself.
All blacks are New Zealand..
Kay San is a song from Cold Chisel.
Ya know, Barnsey
Time for an Australian baptism Kaitlyn.
That being on a road trip with Cold Chisel playing their hits.
Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Cheap Wine, Forever Now and Bow River are as Aussie as Waltzing Matilda.
The All Blacks is New Zealand mostly Māori Rugby team...very un-Australian haha 👍🤗
All Black are New Zealand ruby Union national team
Also as an Aussie I did get song too
Got my lamb roast for the rotisserie. I will make some rissoles (Might be French) . Wack some Mother of herb in the rissoles it grows in the backyard without care and gives so much flavour to all meat dishes, native to Mexico I think. I made some blue jelly for the kids in a big tub and put jelly frogs in it so there is frogs in the pool. It was going to be jelly babies but babies in the pool might not survive and be seen to be bad . Snakes in the pool is on the other side of bad so frogs it is. Have a great Australia day. Eggs and tomatoes would be a luxury right now then the potatoes. My okra is up but has not flowered yet, a bit late.
All Blacks is the NZ Rugby Union team. There's a little, tiny, bit of rivalry between Aus & NZ about sport (and everything else, for that matter). The joke from both sides of the ditch is "I go for two teams, Australia and whoever is playing against New Zealand". Flip it for their side.
Tall Poppy Syndrome is where people automatically pull down those who have a measure of success. This same behavior is seen in a number of cultures around the world. It's tied into the idea of acting above your station. It's real, although many try to deny it. Take Kylie Minogue, one of the greatest singing stars to come out of Australia. She was despairingly called "The Singing Budgie" early on in her career and is still called it to today.
Personally I think it's tied to our 'cultural cringe' where we (as a nation) never got over the idea that we're second rate, that Australian Culture could never rival 'the old country's' culture.
This was definitely one of the better ones.
Had a go ! Can never be a fail!
I feel sorry for the silence of the lambs
Khe Sanh, is to Australians as Don McClean's American Pie is to Americans. All Blacks, a NZ rugby team are to Australians as Toronto Blue Jays were to Americans in 92 and 93. Except when it comes to the All Blacks, for Australians, it's ground hog day.
The All Blacks are the kiwi Rugby League team
I think the All Blacks is a New Zealand sporting team of some sort.
I'm writing this from exile it's bloody beaut yeah I ate a pie with knife and fork for breekie today [ true story I didn't have and reconstructed egg and bacon { quiche }] I don't think I know the words to Khe Sanh { I did see chisel live at 18 bloody beaute }and I bet you know who the All Blacks are by now but what is really Un Australian is that I had to finally see the add in it's entirety on U tube instead of the telly where their paid to air it thanks Kaitlyn have a barbie tomoroz and beer or wine and enjoy Australia day
All Blacks New Zealand Rugby Team
Oh Kaitlyn! The All Blacks are the NZ Rugby National team. They are traditionally very good. The only thing wrong with them is that they never, EVER let us beat them, even though we are 6 times their size as a nation. It is a bit like Canada vs US in ice hockey, if Canada always wins.
The basic rule of thumb is to support the Australian Rugby team and whoever is playing against the All-Blacks... 😇
The All Blacks are the New Zealand footy team. So he was barracking for New Zealand over The Wallaby's Rugby team. Very Un Australian. LOL
The all blacks are New Zealand rugby team . Kiwis eat lamb as well.
All Blacks are the NZ Rugby team, our "enemy". Khe-sanh" is the quintessential Aussie rock song
basiclly being called unaustralian is the biggest insult you can say to another aussie
The All Blacks is the New Zealand Rugby team.
The "All Blacks" is the NZ rugby team that is a great rival to the Australian Wallabies.
Mark not introducing you to Khe Sanh! That's un-Australian.
Hey, Kaitlyn, I really miss the crakobitch ads. They were hilarious! ❤
Don't you live in Western Sydney Kaitlyn? You should have heard Khe Sanh at least 46 times by now
Don't worry I don't know the words to khe sang either and it came out when I was in my late teens and a music fanatic , just cold chisel weren't my cup of tea
Khe sanh
Beets don't work well on a burger ... unless you also have a fried egg.
Somehow, having the both of them just makes it good.
You're right and also good is an egg (hard boiled) and beetroot sandwich. Delicious.
Sam has been on the lamp for years with these adds, even the epic fails became legendary.
Saying Unsustralian is probably the only time the average piston headed, BBQ burning bundy swilling, 5 front teeth missing bogan will pronounce Australia correctly.
Wouldn't be stralian to say unaustralian like un a stra lin..
If you do something that hurts someone else, like cheating or any bad behaviour etc. We consider that 'UnAustralian' - think of how Aussies are - any action that contradicts who we are as people is considered UnAustralian....I liked last years ad better...but this one is funny too. All Blacks are the Kiwi's footy team...He cheered them on - UnAustralian! Haha
Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh, th-cam.com/video/dTjvG4WJD_A/w-d-xo.html
The All Blacks are the NZ rugby team.
Oh dear, Kaitlyn! "Khe San" is a Cold Chisel song about the affects of the Vietnam war, and a famous battle involving Australian troops. The "All Blacks"...? Oh dear lady! They are the New Zealand Ruby (Union) team... mortal enemies of Aussies football.
Hey Kaitlyn. I like to have my screen full of the ad, not full of the reactor.
The All Blacks is any sporting team from New Zealand
You missed that CROCKS are un-Australian.
I can't believe that you are married to an Aussie an you have not heard Khe Sanh how un Australian of your husband. Even if you don't like Cold Chisel it's a right of passage. It will be played tomorrow.🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
IVE BEEN BACK TO SOUTH EAST ASIAAAAAA, YOU KNOW THE ANSWER SURE AINT THERE....
Khe sanh- unofficial anthem of australia. All blacks- the NZ footy team lol
Finally. Australia learns to laugh at itself. I guarantee you the Advertising agency that came up with this level of genius was heavily Influenced by ex pat Poms. Its funny because it's true.
Khe Sahn great Australian rock song th-cam.com/video/NZisWCuVdLE/w-d-xo.html from the Vietnam war period. All blacks is Kiwi national Rugby team.
love your stuff Kait (sorry too Aussie to type it all) With the G'day pronunciation. the Giday you say has too many letters. Ditch the i and give gday a go, please! We have infected you with Aussie too much not to try and perfect you. Lotsa love from a long time fan kid, keep up the great work. BTW forget about the All Blacks. They don't count, they are Kiwis. Hahahaha - that will get some of them wound up!
Only a matter of time before ANZAC day follows Australia Day into oblivion.
As for our flag I'm amazed it's lasted as long as it has although displaying our national flag is now considered racist in many circles.
The All Blacks is New Zealand's rugby team. 😂
Oh luv All Blacks are the Kiwi Rigby team, across The Ditch!
Rugby not Rigby…..
um isn't ironic that you say last years was tasteless, cause it wasn't PC, but you want to see non-PC ones? I loved last year's one, that's what makes Australia great, that we can laugh even in the face of adversity
& you probably should watch & react to Khe Sanh & Jimmy Barnes if you don't know who he is/what that song is :)
