hahaha. when I was in New Zealand, everyone asked me what I was doing there, like they were shocked that I would even visit New Zealand, especially in the tiny town I was living in.

and I said that I just wanted to get to know New Zealand, I loved the culture and especially the humor.

and every New Zealander was like "what are you talking about? we're not very funny."

I explained about flight of the Conchords and eagle versus shark, and was told that those were fine, but not super funny.

New Zealand culture is so sincere and humorous, inherently.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
