Get it together, Aussies. EDIT: Australias population is 5x higher too? Explain yourselves!

I mean look at this. Jemaine, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, the guy that did Summer Heights High with all his different characters, the Aunty Donna folks.

Who tf can compete ?

I'm honestly kinda conflicted on Rhys Darby now. He's hilarious in a lot of stuff, but has anyone seen his standup? Maybe it's got regional appeal, but felt super super bland. It made me look at some of his other stuff, I feel like he's got a few really good roles that he's really known for and a lot more stuff where he just kinda phones it in.

The guy who did Summer Heights High? He was Australian, and a racist.

Yeah wasnt one of the characters basically a New Zealand version of blackface?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yep, that was him.

You know what- I’m stating to think there are some funny Australians after all. Sorry to hear about the racist one though

Summer height high.... I forgot your funny that was. Good one!

Literally every other country. Australians think Tim Minchin is funny. There's something wrong with them
