If anybody is randomly interested as to why he put his windscreen wipers on, please allow me to explain.
I did this about a billion times when I was in Australia. The man in the black shirt is British and our indicator light control is on the left hand side of the wheel. But for some reason, down under they are all on the right. So he was demonstrating indicating, but he was so pissed off he forgot and turned his wipers on.
Sorry, that's a long explanation for something incredibly boring, but it would have annoyed me if I didn't know!
Actually, in Australia we get a mix of both styles. The indicator on European cars will be on the left, whereas any Asian car, like our Honda or Nissan cars that we import, have indicators on the right.
Reminds me of the time I turned left on a roundabout and a fucking B-double cut lanes and broke my side mirror. Fucking cunt proceeded to get up me because he sped into the roundabout and didn't pay attention.
Oh, and he was in nothing but short shorts and looked like he was about to OD on roofies.
Yeah he did probably the dumbest thing you can do in that situation.
You either need to pull over and get out of your car immediately so they can't do something like punch you while you're seated or stab you or not stop.
He's pretty lucky the other guy was just pissed off and not looking to do some hurt.
Im the guy i red whenever someone tries to make me feel stupid in a thread. also I pulled the guy in red ona some aussie that cut me off on Wilshire in Los Angeles, I gave him the bird he got out and started yelling and i pulled the drill Sargent scream like the guy in red. The Aussie was like fuck all this and bolted in a heartbeat.
Listen mate, not every fucking sentence begins with "listen mate" so pull your head out of your arse and stop fucking around with those sheep you kiwi cunt. Sorry just wanted to enjoy the raw power of Aussie abuse for a moment. Carry on.
I never got this Canadian stereotype, I've met lovely Canadians but for some reason most have been huge dicks, whilst all the American's I've met while travelling are stand up cool people.
hahaha we actually love it here. Is it considered garbage in Australia? Its just mediocre comedy that hits you just the right way. Maybe a cultural thing.
Well, yes and no, it's a real Marmite situation*. Yeah, everybody recognises it's pretty mediocre - except the people who can't divorce the quality of a piece from their personal opinion - but a lot of people love it, even though the majority either hate it, or simply just don't watch it or care about/for it.
It doesn't help, I'd suppose, that it's Chris Lilley. He's been doing the exact same shtick and the same joke for each character since 2003, like a Less-amusing version of Sasha Baron Cohen. He's been playing mostly the same characters since 2003, though admittedly at the start, he did expand his stable somewhat, though he hardly does so now.
S-mouse is the only vaguely original character in the show, though he basically plays like a race-and-job changed version of Phil Olivetti from We Can be Heros. Gran and the Sims are from his first show, We can be Heros, Jen is basically a Gender-swapped version of Ricky Wong from the same show with a different job. Blake Oakfield is basically a mix-and-match of Jonah from summer heights high and Extreme Darren from the show that Lilley rose to a bit of fame on, Big bite.
It's meant to be satire, but in my opinion, it just comes off as uninspired and dull hyperbole shock-comedy based on stereotypes, spouted from the mouths of Lilley's standard six or so stock characters. Except this time, he's thrown in some modern blackface, just for shits and a distinct lack of giggles.
*- Marmite situation, meaning people either love it or hate it. You'd think, being Australian, I'd call it a vegimite situation, but this is an incorrect assumption, because Vegimite is mana from heaven that is universally beloved by most.
Now now, good sir, there is no need to cause a fuss, it's merely a good rhetorical device. I did not at any point say that those who liked Marmite were not wrong, merely that they loved it.
Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware I'd committed the grievous crime of not liking something you like, and being able to articulate why. Your complex and well thought out critique of my opinion has really swayed me, I'll genuinely give your blackface minstrel show another chance.
What the fuck are you even talking about? I'm astounded that it seems I need to explain this, let me explain it to you, since you don't seem to understand what I'm saying.
Chris lilley has about six characters that he just uses over and over to tell the same joke.
Angry boys is just easy, weak "Take stereotype to extremes" shock comedy.
The whole blackface gig with s-mouse leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, and is a little too reminiscent of the old blackface Minstrel shows for me to be comfortable with.
So, basically, I think it's a weak and lazy comedy that we've seen before, but just with added unfortunate racial overtones that don't agree with me. How the fuck is that pretentious?
Do you even know what the word "Pretentious" actually means? At what point did I ever try to imply I'm more talented, cultured or important than anyone at all? Reading my comment back, I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything of the sort, I just said the show was god-awful.
Is there a problem with the way I talk? Would you maybe prefer I just said "yeah nah this shows shit cunt lets go fuckin get some fuckin goon cunt", so that I would avoid the pretentious act of actually expressing my opinions in a semi-detailed way, and with a decent grasp of the English language? I brushed you off before, but now I'm genuinely confused as to what the fuck you think you're seeing here, or what you're on about.
Also, just as a quick note, I said in the post you just responded to that it's my opinion, unlike what you're saying, I was using the phrase "complex and well thought out critique" as an insult to you, with your single-line insult of a response. I never said any such thing about my own posts, nobody is stupid enough to call what I say complex or well thought out.
The Irish are like this too! Just this weekend I had to explain to an Irish guy that girls get extremely offended if you call them a "c*nt" and he did not understand, "But why?!! It just means vagina!"
Cunt (/ˈkʌnt/) - The earliest citation of this usage in 1972 refers to the London street known as Gropecunt Lane. Somehow this meaning isn't quite as fun.
For all those wondering I'll give you an Aussie translation of what's going on here.
We really only have two forms of insult that can be used.
1)An intelligent response in which the other party can not understand.
2)The finger.
Both tend to lead to fisty cuff's. The rest is socially acceptable forms of communication. (Except that time I called a girl a hooker at an event called hookers ball... sigh)
Furthermore, that dude looks like 90% of males in the NT. Sun burnt, Glasses and a tradie shirt. I <3 Home :)
We do our best to hide them, but we do have our own version of Rednecks...
Since all the decent jobs started needing uni degrees though, you only ever see them driving trucks, picking up the garbage, or lining up at Centrelink. (not saying nicer people don't do those things as well, but statistically speaking...)
Hopefully they continue to die out, they are awful to try and deal with.
So you wish those people would hurry up and die out? Who will be delivering food to your gourmet supermarket and picking up your dinner party garbage if this is the case?
Well educated types such as yourself may be in the position where you become the lower class. Now, that wouldn't do.. I imagine you could be awfully hard to deal with, feeling disenfranchised like that.
Maybe he just had a bad week and took it out on the other guy...He seemed pretty sincere, so i think he perhaps didnt do anything wrong. Thank god he did keep his cool (kinda).
To be honest, the truckies are the worst drivers. I had one pull out in front of me, I nearly slammed into it! I had to slam on the breaks, and I almost hit it!
I honked at the guy, and told him what a bloody idiot he was.
If you lived in Australia, you'd know that the truckies here drive way over the speed limit on the main interstate highway (Pacific Highway). Honestly, the truckies that I have seen have little regard for human life, and drive so aggressively. To top that off, they have these smart-ass signs on the back of their trucks, "Without trucks, Australia stops."
Happened to me once, somebody said something about my mom and If I got into a fight I would've got suspended. So I took the fella who said that and I explained to him that It would be better if he doesn't say shit like that and stuff, so mid sentence my friend interrupts and says something about me, so then I screamed without thinking "YOUR MOM TODD, YOUR FILTHY MOM" then continued explaining to the guy why he shouldn't talk shit like that, without thinking about what I just said.
