Australian humour is pretty close to English, really, perhaps a bit more laid back? Until you look at Dave Hughes, anyway, he's a bit high-strung. So here we go! The best of Australian standup and musical comedy :D

comedians! )

Part three of my Aussie pimping, now moving onto tv! In which case, you probably won't be able to watch it unless you're Australian, however you can YouTube a lot of it. We don't export much except Neighbours and Home and Away. We keep all the good stuff to ourselves :D

This is all comedy, because dramas are kinda hard to get clips for out of context, but Aussie cop shows are pretty awesome, too. That's most of what we do, comedy and cop shows. But we do them WELL.

telly! )

Part two, featuring Aussie movies :D For some reason, most Aussie movies seem to fall into one of two categories: comedies or... whatever the category is that features drugs, rape, suicide and other happy fun sunshine topics. Depressing movies. Those movies bore the shit out of me because they just scream "WE ARE SENDING YOU A MESSAGE PAY ATTENTION TO IT" and I just can't be stuffed. So here, have some classic Aussie comedies, and a couple others that don't fit either category :D

movies! )

Australia Day in a week~ :D I was just planning on making a single post to pimp my country on the day, but after having finished coding up the music section of it, I think that would possibly kill many people, so I'll stagger it over the days leading up instead XD As I mentioned, post the first features Aussie music :D No Kylie, Danii or Delta cos they're annoying as piss and I don't like them. Instead, you get Aussie rock like Taxiride, Powderfinger and Silverchair.

My playlist is 1178 songs long. Of those, 215 are Aussie, because goddamnit Aussie music is fantastic. I'll spare you the full 13 and a half hours, but here, have one or two songs for each of the artists (unless I'm embarassed to admit they're on the playlist). If you want more of any in particular, feel free to ask, I'm all for spreading the love :D

If you've heard any of these before, well done! You're awesome!

music! )

Aussie music industry is pretty kickarse.

PLEASE. FLIST. TELL ME THE REST OF THE WORLD OR AT LEAST AUSTRALIA DOES ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT A CHICKEN PARMI* IS. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME IT'S ANOTHER WEIRD SOUTH AUSTRALIAN THING. CASSIE IS WEIRD FOR NOT KNOWING, ISN'T SHE?




* parmigiana. I'll admit the shortening of it probably is Aussie.

Thank GOD for that =| I don't even like Vegemite, but come on. That idea was just stupid.

Clearly this calls for a YouTube video.

Her: Well... while I've been touring I learned the word 'squiz~'
Paul: Oh, you didn't know that before?
Her: No! Someone said to me, 'Hey, have a squiz~ at that magpie =D' And I thought... that's not really something I want to do... let alone to a magpie...
Paul: *snrk* But you know what it means now?

Ugh, cynical Australia Day post. Knew there'd be at least one.

In other news! Avatar-inclined people? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Fast forward to about 12:10. Jesse McCartney, playing Zuko in the movie, apparently, talks Avatar.

Yeah, it's based on an anime series called Avatar that was explosively huge in Asia, and then they brought it to the US...

Someone, please, shoot me in the head D:

HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY~!

May you all have awesome barbecues, with many a lamb chop and Spider glasses of Woodie's lemonade and iced coffee and your state's beer of choice! Celebrate your national day by eating at least one half of the coat of arms! Turn on the cricket or tennis in the background somewhere! Boycott ALL footware except thongs! Play beach cricket or road tennis or marks up! Get watchband lines and matching goggles and thong lines! Yell 'Oi oi oi!' at the top of your lungs, cos everyone knows what it means! Play as much Powderfinger, Hunters and Collectors, Whitlams, Barnsie, and damnit, even Kylie, as you can get your hands on! Tell someone overseas about the dangers of brown snakes, box jellyfish and drop bears! Tape a flag to your car aerial (how the frig do you spell that) because there are about three days in the year when you can do this and not look like you haven't been bothered taking it down from the last specified day!

Go forth and be Aussie, cos damnit, this country RULES.

edit~ cos... duh.
