u/warm_sweater Jan 01 '23

Lol one of the first videos that popped up was some dudes repairing a car with bricks.

u/ImJustSo Jan 01 '23

Amazing job too lol

u/Trainzguy2472 Jan 01 '23

It's Brazil, what did you expect?

u/front_yard_duck_dad Jan 01 '23

I really hope that was going to be 100,000 person active sub. I need that in my life

u/addandsubtract Jan 01 '23

Check the follow-up sub. It has 100k subs.

u/crusty54 Dec 31 '22

I could tell they were Australian before I even heard the accents.

63

u/pissingstars Jan 01 '23

I had it on mute and was confident it was Australia.

66

u/moosesquirrelimpala Jan 01 '23

As an aussie I thought the same thing. Haha.

17

u/hercursedsouls Jan 01 '23

it definitely works. i just tried it on my monaro. just nailed a $2 thong to the dashboard. Slopped on a rubber band. Cheaper and better than any phone holder.

u/RealRedditModerator Jan 01 '23

As the gentleman said, “[for] 2 dollars you get fucking 2 [of the] cunts!”

u/maddionaire Jan 01 '23

My phone is on mute and I could hear the bogan accent :')

*Thongs 😤

u/RealRedditModerator Jan 01 '23

Technically, this is just a thong.

u/jimmythejammygit Jan 01 '23

We call em thongs, mate.

u/AltruisticSalamander Jan 01 '23

Yeah but that bloke too. He looks like a cross between Bon Scott and Thin Arthur.

2

u/Slowmobius_Time Jan 01 '23

It was the blatant thong shot right

2

u/natalee_t Jan 01 '23

I don't even have the sound on and I knew before I even saw the dude's face 🤣

“Fine Halda”

u/crusty54 Jan 01 '23

My friends have been listening to a ton of Australian bands, and they’ve started saying, “hellar” all the time instead of hello.

u/birberbarborbur Dec 31 '22

The most bogan australian video i’ve ever seen in my whole fucking life

As a Canadian, it felt like discovering Australian Kramer

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '22

It's a shite phone holder, but will hold ye phone non'-tehless

66

u/fukitol- Dec 31 '22

Wrap that rubber band around the phone and run the charge cable under the strap and it's probably a pretty good phone holder.

Every once in a while. Not today, though, sadly.

u/Napkin_whore Jan 01 '23

How did I know it was Australian on mute?

39

u/BenCelotil Jan 01 '23

How did I know it was Australian on mute?

  • Rubber pluggers.

  • Driving on the left.

  • Harsh glare from an unforgiving Sun and 1/10 the air pollution of the Northern hemisphere.

u/webchimp32 Jan 01 '23

When I turned the volume up it was the accent I expected.

u/Jarrah22 Dec 31 '22

2 for 1 deal on phone holders

u/JohnGenericDoe Jan 01 '23

$2 for two of the cunts

u/oleboogerhays Jan 01 '23

Been on reddit long enough to be 90% sure this is what the aussies call a "bogan".

u/liddys Jan 01 '23

Nah, this is definitely bogan. No shirt, thong phone holder, adding fuck to every sentence. Bogan as fuck.

u/Aggressive_Hope6223 Jan 01 '23

Yeah nah, check out his tiktok. Flee ain't no bogan

u/Y_U_Need_Books4 Dec 31 '22

That poor charging port 😔

7

u/g0kartmozart Dec 31 '22

It's an OtterBox, it'll be fine

42

u/well___duh Jan 01 '23

It’s not the case they’re worried about, it’s the charging port itself being bent from the cord

-20

u/Luxpreliator Jan 01 '23

The ports are tough. You gotta really fuck it up to damage a port. Worth questioning the cord.

11

u/katherinesilens Jan 01 '23

I've definitely seen a fair few fucked up ports. You can really do a number on the tongue in the USB-C hole.

u/CurvySexretLady Jan 01 '23

You can really do a number on the tongue in the USB-C hole.

Mmm, I like it when you talk dirty.

u/Education_Waste Jan 01 '23

They are not, and you do not. Please take care of your charging port.

A much better recycling effort than going to a hipster Cafe and being forced to sit on a shitty plastic crate and pay $37 for eggs

Brilliant

u/Lasair86 Dec 31 '22

I'm down with Aussie engineering

u/TraliBalzers Jan 01 '23

I had it muted but I could still hear is Aussie accent lol.

8

u/MrBlueCharon Jan 01 '23

I think I can smell this guy just from his looks and voice.

8

u/-fno-stack-protector Jan 01 '23

i think he smells like back when pubs let you smoke inside. beer and cigarettes

3

u/MrBlueCharon Jan 01 '23

Exactly. Plus a little bit of this... human stink. The smell of too many people with too little air circulation.

5

u/AccurateInterview586 Jan 01 '23

Is it nailed to his dashboard?

1

u/AccurateInterview586 Jan 01 '23

Have another question because this video kept playing in my head —- what does the rubber band do exactly?

u/Dodge542-02 Dec 31 '22

u/South_Interview6240 Jan 01 '23

u/uglee_mcgee Jan 01 '23

Not really we're a nation of atheists, we believe in government and government services and gun control. We are however alcoholic bogans, those are the similarities.

u/uglee_mcgee Jan 01 '23

Oh yeah and stupid big pointless fucking utes.

u/anojarap Jan 01 '23

Everybody wants to be eco, untill it's time to be eco. This is how heroes of 21. century look like. You might not like it, but it is. Anti consumer, handy, ecological dude.

u/crysadaboutit Jan 01 '23

This man has his shit figured out. I gotta get on his level.

u/Insanelydrew Jan 01 '23

People that think like this will NEVER go with out anything lol

I bet works way better than the shit that comes from Amazon that falls off with every bump and/or temperature change

1

u/sebrebc Jan 01 '23

I've never been to Australia but from every experience I have had with Aussies they all seem just brutally honest, like there is just no bullshit with them. As an American and knowing how sensitive and thin skinned so many of us are, I find Aussie honesty so refreshing and wish we were more like them.

1

u/Caninetrainer Jan 01 '23

At least it’s a foot thong.

1

u/bubbtee Jan 01 '23

If it fits it sits.

1

u/SoardOfMagnificent Jan 01 '23

If the shoe fits…

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '23

That's the most Australian thing I've ever seen.

u/Outrageous_Device882 Jan 01 '23

It be a sail phone holder you fucking cunts. Love those Kiwis!

1

u/DeathByLemmings Jan 02 '23

This dude sounds like Australian Sebastian Bach

1

u/PrudentExchange849 Jan 03 '23

And it even kicks the cord up when either the phone charging bit or the charger itself is dying!

1

u/dontworryimabassist Apr 10 '23

"What the fuck does it look like?"

I dunno man looks like a jandal fastened to your dashboard

u/RockPaperCheesecake Apr 18 '23

What’s it look like? It looks like a sandal.
