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 4 months ago

Yep, that was him.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

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

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