Reaction To How To Talk Australians (Episodes 2-8)

[@waza987]

This series could not be made by anyone but a bunch of Indians who had lived in Australia for a long time.

[@navs485]

Wrong. It was written and produced by Anglo Australians with a indian/australian cast.

OMG, the cockie is called "Chopper" because it doesn't have ears - you are certified True Blue if you get that reference ROFLMFAO!!!

[@fionaorton7076]

As a manager i can tell you 100% taking a sickie is an artform.

[@jessbellis9510]

My favourite quote is "Maybe I should've gone as Bindi". Also the guy in the bald cap at the end of that episode is meant to be Peter Garrett.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Thanks for showing these I’m sitting here pissing my self laughing

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Also, accurate singing of the Australian national anthem hahahaha

[@waza987]

I think the rhyming slang was more popular in the past, like 60-80 years ago. That is part of the joke that the Indians are learning it but the modern Australians don’t understand them.

[@myopinion69420]

you still hear it from time to time, but not all strung together like that. it will just be a one off.

[@kyliemitchellharper6872]

Rhyming slang is alive and well, just not that much in one go

[@tinfoilhomer909]

It drives me nuts, I see rhyming slang as foreign influence.

[@xxillicitxx]

Septic tank yank, aka seppo is currently flourishing. I'm familiar with all the slang used in this video as an elder millennial. I like teaching it to the youngs at work.

[@xymonau2468]

@@tinfoilhomer909 Not at all. It came over with the British, and has always been here since, but we have our own terms, and they are not the same as the Brits. We share some.

Lambingtons! Ha ha ha! Oh and the poetry book at 14:41... by Sitar Patterson... you've gotta be Aussie to understand that's a reference to our great poet Banjo Patterson. Too funny all round.

[@garryellis3085]

Couldn't stop laughing (brought tears to my eyes)

I’ve not seen most of these before hahahaha hilarious

The blokes dancing on the beach are suposed to be The Wiggles. Your child will love them

[@xxillicitxx]

Shit, I saw them at an 18+ gig and it went off! Whole damn crowd singing and dancing along, honestly one of the best shows of my life 😂

[@robertwhittaker1801]

They have accurately depicted Australian slang and everything really taking the piss out of us in a skilful way. All the vehicles they use are Australian classic cars

[@mintyonthemoon]

The accuracy of how Australians sing the anthem... and even the box of Trill. They clearly passed the citizenship test.

[@aussiebornandbred]

The whole series is FKN gold🤣🤣

[@xsyte1]

As an Aussie i think its hilarious

[@madeleinesuzette]

The end of the second last episode with the 4 "blokes" dancing on the beach, were supposed to be The Wiggles

[@deano641]

The purple 'Wiggle' is portraying going to sleep. He is called Jeff - 'Wake-up' Jeff, as he is always sleeping.

[@Cyannah117]

Anyone who has owned a sulphur crested cockatoo knows that, much like a 3 yr old kid, they will always pick up swear words and repeat them constantly 😂 The most foul mouthed cocky I ever met was at a koala/wildlife sanctuary. His standard greeting for people coming through the gate was “How are ya, ya c@#$! If you replied, he’d tell you to F off! 😂😂

[@shilogirl2350]

The last bloke bobbing around in Famous Australian dressup was Peter Garret (bald) from 80's rock band Midnight Oil. He was also a member of parliment for a stint.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

All 100% accurate. I’m just going for a drive to get some meat for tea off the frog and toad

[@iamkat-agnt99-ash-kbt.59]

The nicknames are so true! 😂 These are so funny!

[@bazzahcarter6767]

I love how they borrowed the gate from the neighbors and returned it still with the black charring still on it!!!! Classic

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

We actually bugger off on Boxing Day and come back two weeks later lol

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

No, rhyming slang is not used much anymore, maybe way out in the bush. This show is absolutely fantastic, so very funny. You do have to know a fair bit about Australia and it's celebs to fully understand it! Chopper Reed is an Australian celeb, who actually talks a lot like the cockatoo. And yes we shorten Everything, especially names!

[@franceshurt3517]

Hi that red sauce is tomato sauce that lots of Ozzies put on all savoury dishes, my BIL used to even put it on a roast dinner eg meat pie and sauce. It is quite hilarious as a send up of Aussie culture because it exaggerates our foibles, the bbq is especially funny because the man must cook and tends to overcook everything because he gets caught up in having "a" beer and a laugh with his mates, we've become a bit more sophisticated in recent years but back in the 50's and 60's that scenario was pretty close to the truth, cheers!!🥰

[@chickendipper1620]

That silver thing on the clothesline is a sack of wine which we call a goon bag. You peg it on the clothesline at parties and spin the clothesline and whoever the goon bag stops on has to drink. This is called Goon of Fortune. True story.

[@TheKrispyfort]

Chucking a sickie. Time honoured tradition. Now covered by legislation and called "mental health day".

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Rhyming slang is only popular if we are bunging it on for a tourist or new immigrant lol

[@xxillicitxx]

My dad uses most of these everyday lol I love keeping it alive now

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Man, everytime I mow at my caravan block I eat at least 5 flies lol

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

Ooh, famous Australians. I see Dame Edna Everage pink wig and glasses, Crockodile Dundee distinctive hat, Kathy Freeman’s Olympic 400m gold medal running suit; bald cap and patterned short sleeve shirt for Midnight Oil’s frontman Peter Garret, I *think I see a Ken Done patterned sweater from the 1980’s (his art was everywhere), the cricketer has to be Don Bradman unless otherwise specified, OMG the guy with the stingray through his heart I’m dying, the woman in the kind of school uniform may be either the Divinals’ Frontwoman Chrissy Amphlett or Angus Young from AC/DC. I checked a photo, definitely Angus Young. I feel like I should know who the guy in the sleek horizontal striped singlet is but I can’t zoom in enough to see what he’s carrying. Despite Mel Gibson turning out to be an arse personally, the Lethal Weapon films have held up spectacularly. Totally wholesome found-family story in amongst fantastic comedy-action movies that are super exciting without CGI. Trigger warning for PTSD and intense Oscar-worthy near-suicide scene in first movie. Oh that fly screen brings back dim childhood memories from 70’s milk bars and fish n chip shops. Colourful dancers on the beach are The Wiggles children’s entertainers. As well as the historic gay kookaburra, Australia still has a delicious delicious caramel and honeycomb icecream dipped in chocolate called a Golden Gaytime. Oh Universe the running gag about Chopper Read the cockatoo is killing me. It’s hard to remember his crimes were serious. Serious! He tortured people. I’m still laughing at the memorial poem.

[@robby1816]

"the guy in the sleek horizontal striped singlet" Bon Scott (AC/DC frontman) carrying a bottle of JD

[@robby1816]

and The Man From Snowy River (with the DryAsABone coat)

[@rodmills4071]

The four blokes on the beach was the kiddies entertainment group called the wiggles. Jeff fell asleep and they would yell wake up Jeff.....turns out he had a heart defect that made him tied all the time.🤔😎🇦🇺👌

[@xymonau2468]

You keep saying the title incorrectly. It's "How to talk Australians" and there is no "to" in it at all. Yes, rhyming slang is popular, but it differs from the UK. We call Americans "septics" because "septic tank" rhymes with "Yank". The dancer at the end was supposed to be from the "Beds are burning" video by Midnight Oil. They guy was dipping a sausage roll in tomato sauce. The thing on the clothesline was a bag of wine, or a goon bag. In teenage parties it was popular to pin a goonie to the clothesline and pass it around for people to drink from it directly. Yes, chucking a sickie is common around Easter and xmas, etc, to give yourself a long weekend. You don't need a medical certificate for only one day off. The dancing on the beach referred to the Wiggles, an internationally famous group who entertains children. Check them out on You Tube. One of their famous songs is "Hot Potato". I think it was on tv, on the ABC.

[@MargaretGuppy]

Regarding the Wiggles; the guy in the purple skivvy (named Geoff), always goes to sleep during the performance. They call out "Wake up Geoff", hence he is falling down on the beach "asleep".

[@zazah2008]

There was also Dame Edna, Cathy Freeman in her iconic running suit, Angus Young from AC/DC aka Acca Dacca, Crocodile Dundee, Ken Done the painter, an average bogan, surfer and cricketer. Don’t know the guy with the sign around his neck. Never heard of Douglas Dawson. Also it’s yanks > septic tanks > seppos cause why not throw a shortening in as well as rhyming slang 😂

[@TheDeldaisy]

Thank you! I would never have heard about this brilliant series if not for you.

[@starwyn7]

Dunny budgies! Wtf 😂 I’ve never heard flies called that

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

Them dancing on the beach with different coloured tops on was referring to the Wiggles. 😂

[@TheKrispyfort]

Yeah, we like a little bit of food with our tomato sauce

[@blackfyrerose2292]

Some of this is so on point, I feel attacked

[@mickhughes6327]

I take exception to the roadkill skit. We only eat roadkill that we have run over ourselves, or that has been donated by someone who has just run it over. And we're not animals, the dogs get the bruised bits.

Fun fact, Indians love Australia day because it's India's republic day as well. People in the gathering I could pick - Love to see you react to the things with a * Yea, we all got Steve Irwin. Bon Scott with the bottle of Jack Daniels by looks of the tats. AC/DC. Same gallows humor, he died of alcohol poisoning.(Mentioned in the TISM* song I'm on the drug) Douglass Mawson - Artic Explorer. Generic cricketer - unless he's chasing women after, then he might be Shane Warne. Beer holding life saver cap - Strop : Paul Hogan Show. * Green & gold jumpsuit - Kathy Freeman : Olympic runner. Pink Hair - Dame Edna Everage** (Barry Humphries) : Australian comedian and legend. You've done Sir Les. Fish shirt guy - Ken Done? Artist. Paperboy hat - Brian Johnson : AC/DC Cork hat - Oz stereotype (Funnily enough I've only seen on TV on the Goodies). Bald head guy - Peter Garrett : Midnight Oil, the dance is spot on. Croc Dundee hat there next to the dean. Feather shirt guy - Peter Allen maybe? Singer. Guessing that's Ned Kelly behind him with the gun, can't see if he's holding the helmet. One confused guy dressed as an Austrian, classic. People drinking Fosters as well which no Australian would, just makes it perfect. Yes I am Gen X, why do you ask?

[@kmichaels7653]

The people in the 4 colours represent The Wiggles. If you value your sanity DO NOT let your children watch them! 😄

[@travelgirl747]

When my dad was cold he would say it was "Colder than a Mother in Laws Kiss." He lived out in the country and he was king of rhyming slang. It was never phone. It was the Dog and Bone

[@jason989989]

Omg. Classic. On point with everything.

[@peterolsen9131]

side note , all the cars used are classic EH holdens [ once everyone drove one] the panel van, the sedan and the wagon looking shitty as possible were 1964 models and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and i would eat a yard of shit to own another one

[@romandybala]

The wagon and the panno were EJs.

[@scottymorrice5416]

The dancing on the beach in their colours is a children's group called 'The Wiggles'! The show is like the British-Indian comedy, 'At Home With The Kumars'!

[@suesmith7946]

The rhyming thing isn't really used as much these days but it was used a little more back in the 60s I think. I haven't heard it being used much at all in recent times. I think in the skit with them dressed as famous Australians, the girl in the bodysuit was portraying Cathy Freeman (Indigenous Olympian), and the one with the pinkish hair was Dame Edna, but couldn't really get the others. A lot of people do tale sickies here but you usually need a doctor's certificate for more than one day or you don't get paid.

[@kiraalialeeonfairythegreenone]

Oh no...the lamb-ington!!!!!🤭😁🤣

[@garycharman6210]

This is brilliant. Thank you. I had never seen these. Rhyming slang was popular in past times; it was a part of the vernacular. Not so nowadays in cosmopolitan Australia. My nickname - Gary abbreviated to Gazza. The Yellow Pages favoured for fly swatting and by coppers on anyone they care not to leave a mark on. Best I find these and share....

[@geofflongford2008]

The bald bloke dancing at the end was Peter Garret of Midnight Oil

[@tedlindaatkinson3228]

The entire series is about a training session for an Indian call centre. There are a lot of things only Australians would know. In Australia we get lots of invasive calls with Asian sounding people who have English sounding names. It's become quite an art to hanging up on them

[@looking8030]

They done really well that’s forsure

[@bloozee]

The last imposter was the lead singer of " midnight oil" who later became a Labor politician.

[@fknows1]

the last one dancing on the beach is the wiggles, a music group who do nursery rhymes and songs for kids, the one falling on the ground is, wake up jeff!, jeff is always falling to sleep

[@renzy5270]

I died when I saw the Steve Irwin costume 😂😂😅

[@runnynose8341]

I am Australian , there was a bit of an outcry about the Steve Irwin thing, I found it funny, Eric banner, Cathy freeman, Peter Garret to name a few of the other costumes.

Choppa was a well-known criminal here in Australia. "Choppa Reid" was his name because he cut his own ears off.

[@shilogirl2350]

Chopper was probably referenced to Chopper Reed who was jailed for murder. He was a thug /hitman to name a few.

[@1legend517]

The bird "Chopper" is a reference to notorious Australian criminal Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read. Who cut off his own ears in prison.

Chopper was a infamous Criminal whom when in gaol, sliced off his ears.

But also derogatory racist term to call someone a Coon.🚫 The bald guy. Dancing weird was Garret. Lead singer in a band successful for decades who became a politician.
