Liam Hemsworth: I Don't Put Shrimp On The Barbie

[@WarmLittleDiamond90]

As an Australian, I'm *thrilled* that he's out there debunking that bogus "shrimp on the barbie" phrase. Doing good work. The work of a goddamn hero.

[@AmeshaSpentaArmaiti]

it sounds like shrimp torture, it's horrible. (proceeds to boil crab alive)

[@WarmLittleDiamond90]

Yes, it's terrible - I do not endorse the practice.

[@DavidBallin]

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.

[@guziman1963]

Do Americans sprint up to Australians full speed ahead in tacky Hawaiian shirts saying shit like "CRIKEY, YOU WANNA PUT SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE MATE!" in their worst, hackneyed, impression, of an Australian accent?

[@guziman1963]

Like we need ideas to make ourselves look retarded on the international level.

[@itsmeroky]

He deserves many more hit movies. Such a wonderful person.

[@carolinedickenson9607]

Yass Liam! Bloody prawns! Not shrimp! Representing us Aussies like a bawse! 🇦🇺👌🏻

[@kanua5]

Yeah, I'm sure that the whole prawn/shrimp debate is the most valued international debate Australians want to have.

[@carolinedickenson9607]

[@tardisland]

It actually is though. That and the proper way to eat Vegemite.

[@BadgerUKvideo]

Vegemite is utter shite. Marmite all the way.

[@kurtsudheim825]

It's pretty much the same thing, just the brand name, here in s.africa we get marmite (being unilver I think), as well as bovril, which is like a beef version, watch charlize explain it on fallon

[@The1AndOnlyGoldenboy]

I put shrimp on the barbie... then again, I'm not Australian, and people typically look at me weirdly for putting shrimp on my sister's old Barbie dolls.

[@jesseykerner4867]

[@jessicandennis]

[@bee-qg1zh]

The1AndOnlyGoldenboy AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA YES

[@kurtsudheim825]

I don't think so, but there is a difference between shrimp & prawns, shrimp are a size smaller being the main difference, as well as a miniscule difference between their actual 'being', genetically, they're not exactly from the same family I think, like there is a slight difference between crayfish & lobster

[@GorcStew]

Had no clue what the fuck was going on until I read your comment and realized that you were joking...I am french Canadian so it's my first time hearing "barbie" did not know it meant barbecue :(

[@kiliantreminio]

It's actually kinda funny that the whole "shrimp on the barbie" thing was started by Paul Hogan (an Aussie), in an American commercial promoting tourism in Australia 😂

[@antonyjames3958]

I find it even more funny that as for the marketing agency who were promoting the Australian commercial, they had to use the word 'shrimp' instead of 'prawn' because it was understood that the general American population wouldn't understand what a prawn was.

[@rachkate76]

Had to dumb it down to appeal to the Yanks and make it relatable for them even though we NEVER use the phrase and never have.

[@yyg4632]

Rach Kate damn who’s the dumb and ignorant one being hateful just because a different country doesn’t use the same wording? Shrimps and prawns are two different animals btw 👏🏼

[@kitcutting]

For some ignorant Americans, 90% of all the Aussie stereotypes that they know comes from two sources: Crocodile Dundee and the Crocodile Hunter. So yes, as true as your statement is, it's also very sad, lol.

[@yyg4632]

Kit Marcos yea yea do honestly think people actually believe that aussies just throw shrimps on barbies all day or do you realize it’s a joke

[@Steve27775]

Useful and amusing Aussie slang expression I just found: "FIGJAM: Fuck I'm Good; Just Ask Me. Nickname for people with a high opinion of themselves." Also used ironically when completing a task.

[@romanfox5368]

They love slang. Where'd you hear that?

[@Wosprig]

My Physics teacher last year had a mug with that on it. I'm in New Zealand though.

[@Icetemplar]

That's not really accurate, there was a song called FIGJAM that stood for that. It was an expression that lasted maybe a year almost a decade ago. I don't think most of my friends would understand if I said Figjam.

[@RooinsMusic]

FIGJAM is a great expression, though you mostly only hear it as an in-joke (Aussie hip hop)

[@OldFellaDave]

hip hop my arse, we were saying FIGJAM more than 30 years ago ... shit, I had FIGJAM socks back in 85 and it was an old phrase even then ....

[@MissShards]

OMG THANKYOU LIAM! lol. I HATE 'Shrimp on the barbie!'. Try steak or snags on the barbie. Prawns are usually drenched in tartare sauce and eaten within moments of deshelling :P

[@ms.rstake_1211]

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

No tartar sauce for me it kills the sweet flavour of the prawns. Just squirt of lemon juice over them to sweeten the meat. Or if it's Christmas my Mum's rose seafood sauce on the side.

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

@S Wright Tartar sauce is for fish the best thing to put on chips is a bit of brown vinegar. If still you want something creamy on them. Then try a bit of Japanese mayonnaise it doesn't over power the chips like tartar sauce does.

[@jondunmore4268]

It all depends on where you live. I was born and raised in Melbourne (in the suburbs) and I have never seen a snake, crocodile or a deadly spider in my entire life. The only spiders I've come across are those daddy long legs ones and they're pretty cool cause they don't do anything. If you live in the country, outback or rural/remote areas, then you will definitely come across them more often.

Australia basically became Independent in 1901 but technically we didn't. Still, our government doesn't ask for the queen's advice in the matter of law making ect anymore so thats Independent to me

[@EmmaAppleBerry]

Actually we still get the queens stamp of approval and she had the power to dissolve parliament etc basically she can pull the mum card if we get to mental or she really doesnt like a law or whatever we pass. The governer general speaks on her behalf i think atm its julie bishop anyway shes consider the queens rep and gives the crown stamp of approval but nowadays it is mostly formality and the queen doesnt really exercise the power at all more like a figurehead but you know its not a bad thing and id still say where independant being in alliance under the commonwealth like canada doesnt make us less independant it just makes us smarter not to burn our bridges for the sake of 'freedom' or the illusion of independence. No nation of earth is ever truly independent will all rely on the same earth and people to make our lives worth existing. Our money with the queen on it is the best in the world technologically its easy to use and the hardest to counterfeit.
