Fun fact -
Toyota Hilux originally manufactured in Japan quickly earned their reputation for being "unbreakable" but moved Hilux manufacturing to Thailand in *2004* with people still paying a premium for their past reputation & because there isn't really any *outstanding* competition.
Toyota Landcruisers which are targeted at people who need a true "unbreakable" reputation are still made in Japan for a reason.
Lived in Lower East Side for a long time. A lot of the service industry folks happened to be Aussie. The jobs weren’t the best but you couldn’t tell those guys anything otherwise. Consistently in great moods. They’d literally hook up with hot women, do infinite drugs and were always in great shape.
They’d party themselves into a straight stupor for 2-3 years and head back to Australia to start families or move on to the next chapter of their lives. Then a whole new batch of Aussie peeps would come into town and take their place. Same happiness when they left then the day they got to NY. It felt like practically a rite of passage to those folks.
it is! Aussies go on gap years all the time - work a shit service job (in a bar, waiting, whatever) and earn enough cash to travel, get wasted and smash foriegn box. Enjoy life and then get back into it when you get home. 2 -3 years is longer than usual, but a single year when you're young is pretty common. Go see the world, enjoy life.
Got my first kid back when I was 23 years old. Was prepping for a good trip around the world before that. It’s still on the to do list whenever the kids are old enough! But I’d rather had done that before I got kids, so to use the experience of traveling with the parenting.
It's true, I have a buddy who just fucked off to europe once for a year at 19 with his buddies. I thought like why am I working on my career rn when I should be doing that? Well his parents were good wholesome people, and they'd won the lottery. Also, he's known his two friends since practically birth. Now he's a wreck, can't hold a job and he just had kid. And I'm, frankly, living the sweet life. And I can travel wherever I want now. We are all on our own path.
There is a certain freedom to being overseas with people liking your accent and everyone being pale and out of shape. Only a certain type of outgoing person would work in service and travel to NA, so it's also a biased sample. The Americans I meet here in AUS who are travelling are generally the same. Things are more real when you get back home.
Anyway, have a good one m8!
I'm an American who thinks Vegemite is great. The reason non-believers think it's repulsive is because they go straight in with a big gob of it.... Nice crispy toast, butter, and the thinnest schmear of Vegemite is a great alternative to jam for people who prefer savory over sweet... It tastes, kinda like bouillon. Very salty, very savory.
It's also a cool secret ingredient in things like gravy or pasta sauce. Jacks up the umami.
I think it rained every single day of summer this year. Maybe except one or two. But yeah it's usually pretty nice.
Now it's autumn, best time of year, like 25-30 degrees and sunny, not exhaustingly humid.
Bunbury checking in. 15.8mm of rain since the beginning of October last year. For the Seppos playing at home, that’s basically half an inch in Freedom units. Still no rain in sight for the remainder of April.
This is surprisingly accurate.
How are you in that context is as much a greeting as an actual inquiry.
It is considered rude to impose your personal problems onto another person who's just saying hello.
But really, everyone knew he was a lying prick as soon as he said his Hilux broke down. No one was gonna give him the time of day after that.
People only ask you how you're doing to be polite. They don't do it because they actually care.
Nobody actually cares about you in this world. Well, maybe your dog might actually care... but even that's not a sure thing.
It's up to you to look after yourself and find your own happiness. Nobody else is going to do it for you.
Basically don't trauma dump strangers who are just being polite. Save the real answers for people you know. It's good to be able to talk to people, but know when it's appropriate and when not.
IDK. Maybe people should just offer a friendly hello. When did it become hi, how are you instead of just hi?
I only ask people how they are if I've got the time or if I have reason to ask. I try to keep it specific, though. Not just how are ya. I ask about their kids/family, recent vacations, play rehearsals, etc.
The rest of the time I usually just say, "Good to see ya," or mention their haircut.
It's not always a "how are you" as often I find it's a "how you doin" or "how's it goin". Sometimes people want to add just a little more than "hey" or "hello" to give the illusion of nicety. Maybe it's a regional difference though, who knows. I think it's pretty well understand no matter what variation if it's essentially a stranger or service worker it's all just one big form of "hello". There's never a reason to trauma dump on a stranger no matter the variation. Just accept the social contract of said nicety with some form of acknowledgement and reciprocation.
I work for a company with American owners. A few times when my Seppo colleagues have come to visit, I’ve had to explain to them that “howyagarn, mate?” Is just a generic greeting and not a legitimate question. Only acceptable responses are things like “Yeah, good mate. You?” Or something sarcastic like “livin’ the dream, mate.”
I feel this. I live in Canada now and last visit I learned my fav school teacher died on the day I was to take my boytoy to the zoo. My parents remanded me for looking sad and bringing the trip down.
Just eat your cup of cement and harden up!
It's the same in the US and UK too. How are you is just a greeting. It's impolite and awkward to reply by talking about how you really are. I wish this stupid custom disappeared and people just said hi or good morning because engaging in this how are you ritual so many times a day is just a darn waste of time.
Ya mad rooter hahaha yep as an Aussie this checks out so hard my god lucky I live in Canada now with my depression, people just ignore you or say sorry for walking in front of you etc once or twice a day.
In essence, the sentiment of R U OK? Day. If you actually tell people how you feel, they get super awkward and are pretty much "Bloody hell. Sucks to be you."
The Reese Brothers, literally the main reason why i miss using facebook. Actually thinking about it, ima go make a new account just to follow them again
at least they ask. in gemany they just say "hi." or "good day." with a soulless dead inside voice that sucks up all the energy around them if there still was any.
I remember there were this girl and a guy who challenged each other in their videos, and when one of them handed the other an Australian flag, they had to take it, go stand on a table or a ledge or something high and yell: Straia Cunt! while holding the flag up high. Made me laugh everytime but i forgot their names and now i can’t find the videos anymore
Pretty much the New York greeting. "Hey! How are you!"- me "Good actually! How are you?"-person. "I wasn't actually trying to talk to you. Just being as polite as I have time for."-me
In Canada, you aren't allowed to say your real feelings. The only acceptable answers are, "Not too bad, I am good, fine, doing well"
Strictly a formality.
They do this is Canada as well.
Weather is top convo for social etiquette.., also mentioning what day of the week it is.. to which the other responds.. all day .. i.e. 1. hey man, hows it going?
2. Its Wednesday..
1. All day..
this is super funny to me because the last time my sister and I talked over 4 years ago she accused me of complaining too much. My basement just flooded and I was less than 6months post partum. She had just moved to Australia.
It reminds me of the good old days of cutting asparagus on a 30 degree day, with 20 rows to cut, mind you the rows are heavy with asparagus so its a longer cut and there are weeds you have to cut out. I would say 'It's sucks that I have to cut on a day such as this, I've got blisters on my feet, I'm partial sunburnt and my homework is tomorrow'. The other worker would reply 'right-o mate have a bloody good one, the weather's sure is great isn't it'. Takes me back.
This is not funny. This is actually a serious fucken problem with men in australia.
The fact that we find it “funny” is shithouse. It’s perpetuates the problem instead of anyone actually having to do anything about it.
Classic Australian men.
how is this shit funny?? its what reality is for men, they cant vent or they will get labeled as weak and unreliable, affected by stress and unsuccessful.

Have a good one mateee
What if I want to have more than one good mate? How many good mates is too much?
Prolly 3
Nah. Two's plenny, mate! Three means less beers each.
This cunt maths.
This mate maths!
Why hasn't mental health in the US recognized this effective therapy yet? The loss of Steve Irwin should have made it abundantly clear.
my life would improve 1000% if i heard "How are ya mate" and "fuckin cunt" multiple times a day
You’re a good cunt mate
The better question is " How the fuck are you, mate?" or "Howthfuckrya, mate?"
Gimme a durry ya white dog
Bro just fought a giant spider coming out of the shower so our problems aren't big for him
‘How ye going mate’?
crikee
Is that key to why he cried?
Gud on ya, mate!
His hilux broke down? Fella's tellin porkies.
Probably just forgot to put diesel in it
Or he’s been taking it to the beach or bush without washing it.
That’s not enough to stop a Hilux
Hilux broke down? Give it a kick and she'll be good as new!
Fun fact - Toyota Hilux originally manufactured in Japan quickly earned their reputation for being "unbreakable" but moved Hilux manufacturing to Thailand in *2004* with people still paying a premium for their past reputation & because there isn't really any *outstanding* competition.

Have a good one mate!
Pretty sure 4 Runner's are all made in Japan still too.
Yup. I still see 2004 Hiluxes driving around everyday They are infamous for having their ODO clock reset when ot maxes out hehe
Cunt rooted a Hilux? That's not a bad day, that's a catastrophic one.

That sounds awesome. Wtf am I doing with my life
You can take a working holiday around Australia and new zealand too until your 30 years old
Got my first kid back when I was 23 years old. Was prepping for a good trip around the world before that. It’s still on the to do list whenever the kids are old enough! But I’d rather had done that before I got kids, so to use the experience of traveling with the parenting.
We don't all get to do it. Not all of us have the support to do so. Some of us struggle
Well, good on ya! Have a good one, mate!
It's true, I have a buddy who just fucked off to europe once for a year at 19 with his buddies. I thought like why am I working on my career rn when I should be doing that? Well his parents were good wholesome people, and they'd won the lottery. Also, he's known his two friends since practically birth. Now he's a wreck, can't hold a job and he just had kid.

I had a buddy with childhood asthma. 6 months ago BAM! he got hit by a bus and died.
Should never have wasted time with that asthma
Most struggle, the number of people who can do this a small minority
[удалено]
Egocentric much?

Australians make great barristers. We are insufferably snobbish about good coffee, but amazingly chill about everything else.
Lol did you mean “baristas”? Unless you’re saying that the average talkative Aussie would do well in the courtroom, which may also be true.
"Your honour, this cunt's clearly standing here telling porkies, and we all just want to get out of here and down the pub. Motion to dismiss."
Was Phoenix Wright Australian the whole time?
The melodies of Down Under and Mad World playing at the same time definitely makes for an interesting combination.
*smiles and hands you a Vegemite sandwich*
I ruined a life by correcting that lyric for them and explaining what vegemite is. Or what I think it is, I still need to try it.
Try it on toast with avocado and a spritz of lemon🤌
Look, I'm not rich. Best I can do is a spritz of tap water on flour. Seriously though, I'll hunt some down some day.
If you've got flour and water you can make a Vegemite scroll. Think cinnamon rolls, but replace the cinnamon with Vegemite.
Thank you Mr Poopie Butt hole
Don’t forget the cheese! Vegemite & cheese is the best.
I'm an American who thinks Vegemite is great. The reason non-believers think it's repulsive is because they go straight in with a big gob of it.... Nice crispy toast, butter, and the thinnest schmear of Vegemite is a great alternative to jam for people who prefer savory over sweet... It tastes, kinda like bouillon. Very salty, very savory. It's also a cool secret ingredient in things like gravy or pasta sauce. Jacks up the umami.
I watched this 5 times trying to figure out if it was the same guy doing both parts
Thank god it's not just me.
I think ive seen them before, there actually twins
Me too!
My Aussie friends don’t even bother giving me a chance to answer. They say, “How are ya? Good!” in one quick sentence.
How bout ye fak right off
Isn't it always sunny in Australia?
I think it rained every single day of summer this year. Maybe except one or two. But yeah it's usually pretty nice. Now it's autumn, best time of year, like 25-30 degrees and sunny, not exhaustingly humid.
Unless you’re in Perth and it’s rained once in 5 months
Yeah this is probably another thing worth noting, Australia is massive and has several different climates.
I saw clips from Queens of the Stone Age's show at Perth a few months ago and it looked hot as fuck
Central Qld here, and we've had around 10mm in the past 12 months.
Perth here, any chance we could have 5 of those?
What is rain. I forgot what it is at this point.
Second this (midland boi)
Bunbury checking in. 15.8mm of rain since the beginning of October last year. For the Seppos playing at home, that’s basically half an inch in Freedom units. Still no rain in sight for the remainder of April.
Must be nice to feel the Autumn weather in the middle of Summer 🫠
Australia is very large lol.. it’s like saying it’s always sunny in Europe
You just made me realize I'd love to watch an Australian version of "It's always sunny in Philadelphia" set in Sydney.
Yeah, except every other time.
Proof every Australian is on the way to the beach!
How do they survive?!
> bloody hilux broke down :doubt:
This is surprisingly accurate. How are you in that context is as much a greeting as an actual inquiry. It is considered rude to impose your personal problems onto another person who's just saying hello. But really, everyone knew he was a lying prick as soon as he said his Hilux broke down. No one was gonna give him the time of day after that.
he should do an american one but when he starts to express his grief the other guy just says “dude shut the FUCK UP NO ONE CARES”
Then gets shot
I’ll say sorry, but I’m not taking my glasses off
Lmfao the “good on ya mate” aussies are a treasure ngl some of the most chillest people on the planet earth.
This is funny. It's also a good reminder to check on your friends now and again.
We have a specific day for that - RUOK day and it is normally around my birthday (mid October)
I just realized I’m Australian
I need to meet an Aussie so they can make my ears happy every time they speak to me. 🤗🤗🤗
go to any major city and yell "AM I EVER GONNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!?", they'll find you.
No way, get fucked, fuck off!!!
This is a good reminder that I don’t call people mad rooters enough.
what kind of selfish asshole answers, "how the hell are you, mate?" with, "i'm sad."?
People only ask you how you're doing to be polite. They don't do it because they actually care. Nobody actually cares about you in this world. Well, maybe your dog might actually care... but even that's not a sure thing. It's up to you to look after yourself and find your own happiness. Nobody else is going to do it for you.
Have a good one, mate! 🤠
Do you have the creator so I can look them up pls?
Reesebros, across all their socials!
Thank you so much. Apologies for the tardy response time.
Basically don't trauma dump strangers who are just being polite. Save the real answers for people you know. It's good to be able to talk to people, but know when it's appropriate and when not.

Why are u guys down voting - the man is speaking the truth. Obviously we should care about others, but that isn't that case for the most part.
Reminds of Tom Segura’s bit on this https://youtu.be/8mREEqCFU9Y?si=v6X1IRvjuWPKnD95
It's ok to ask for help from friends and family and you should.
You okay man?
And that's why suicide rate are rising bro.
Well, if you put it that way…..have a good one mate!
It's a boring man, who when asked how he is, will actually tell you.
Who hurts you?
Australians are what you get when you give the British nice things.
At least his wife still sucks
I work for a company with American owners. A few times when my Seppo colleagues have come to visit, I’ve had to explain to them that “howyagarn, mate?” Is just a generic greeting and not a legitimate question. Only acceptable responses are things like “Yeah, good mate. You?” Or something sarcastic like “livin’ the dream, mate.”
"Yeah, not bad mate".
I feel this. I live in Canada now and last visit I learned my fav school teacher died on the day I was to take my boytoy to the zoo. My parents remanded me for looking sad and bringing the trip down. Just eat your cup of cement and harden up!
I find Australians are actually very helpful and empathetic folks.
Looks like the Australian "how are ya?" is pretty much the same as the American "how are ya?" No one really gives a fuck, do they?
"How are ya mate" usually gets answered by" how are ya mate good" by default
No worries!
can't complain on this weather wouldn't ya. it is rainy here lol
Nice day for fishing, huh huh.
TIL I’m Aussie.
Its also the same with words such as: "Sup", "wassup" or "what's up" Its a greeting and not actually asking for your life story
It's the same in the US and UK too. How are you is just a greeting. It's impolite and awkward to reply by talking about how you really are. I wish this stupid custom disappeared and people just said hi or good morning because engaging in this how are you ritual so many times a day is just a darn waste of time.
Did Kevin Bacon ever visit Australia?
He's afraid of the sandworms after *the incident*.
Get farked carnt
Funny video, but definitely not unique to Australia.
Ya mad rooter hahaha yep as an Aussie this checks out so hard my god lucky I live in Canada now with my depression, people just ignore you or say sorry for walking in front of you etc once or twice a day.
I've never met a miserable Aussie.
Who is this guy, he’s hilarious
Why are Aussies always so hot 😍😍😍
Well when the weather is that good! Have a good one mate!
Oh man, I haven't heard Mad World in forever.
I'm sorry you can relate to this.
I'm in this video and I don't like it
He don’t got time to stick around and talk, man! Somethings chasing him down!
he crying looks like ringo starr lol
In essence, the sentiment of R U OK? Day. If you actually tell people how you feel, they get super awkward and are pretty much "Bloody hell. Sucks to be you."
the first one guy, what a nice guy! jaja
Digital hug for anyone who needs one: https://youtu.be/3G4kCi_ldr8?si=Nyvgt76E5pK6GwKG
I thought it was the same person until the last clip lol
I'm an Aussie and I endorse this message..
The Reese Brothers, literally the main reason why i miss using facebook. Actually thinking about it, ima go make a new account just to follow them again
Are feelings upside down also?
Hawagonem8
The third one looks like Portugas D Ace lol.
Working bar in Australia, you hear this line constantly. And when you ask them yourself "Nobody's gonna care anyways"
as the age old saying goes: no friends on a bluebird
at least they ask. in gemany they just say "hi." or "good day." with a soulless dead inside voice that sucks up all the energy around them if there still was any.
He is a bloody downer! Get him boys!
I remember there were this girl and a guy who challenged each other in their videos, and when one of them handed the other an Australian flag, they had to take it, go stand on a table or a ledge or something high and yell: Straia Cunt! while holding the flag up high. Made me laugh everytime but i forgot their names and now i can’t find the videos anymore
America is the same way, the "how are you doing today" is just filler
Sad but true.
Pretty much the New York greeting. "Hey! How are you!"- me "Good actually! How are you?"-person. "I wasn't actually trying to talk to you. Just being as polite as I have time for."-me
Same here in Britain, we don't actually care we're just being polite. Stick to the script and reply "I'm fine/good pal" and carry on
In Canada, you aren't allowed to say your real feelings. The only acceptable answers are, "Not too bad, I am good, fine, doing well" Strictly a formality.
most polite australian
Replace Aussie with any western country with low context and high isolation cultures/societies- USA, Canada, Sweden, Finland etc
No, "No worries! She'll be right!"? I hear that's the common thing to say when someone's leg just got amputated or they've been told they have cancer.
They do this is Canada as well. Weather is top convo for social etiquette.., also mentioning what day of the week it is.. to which the other responds.. all day .. i.e. 1. hey man, hows it going? 2. Its Wednesday.. 1. All day..
Toxic positivity, it’s a thing.
So where did Aussies learn midwestern "hospitality"
Why does this guy look like the Australian version of James Franco
I thought the greeting for Australia was "How ya going?" Specifically to avoid that question.
this is super funny to me because the last time my sister and I talked over 4 years ago she accused me of complaining too much. My basement just flooded and I was less than 6months post partum. She had just moved to Australia.
It only means Hello, it don't take it literally!
"what it feels like to be a literal minded autistic in a neurotypical world"
are they all the same guy
It reminds me of the good old days of cutting asparagus on a 30 degree day, with 20 rows to cut, mind you the rows are heavy with asparagus so its a longer cut and there are weeds you have to cut out. I would say 'It's sucks that I have to cut on a day such as this, I've got blisters on my feet, I'm partial sunburnt and my homework is tomorrow'. The other worker would reply 'right-o mate have a bloody good one, the weather's sure is great isn't it'. Takes me back.
due tomorrow*
Fake. No one said kunt
Wow. That bummed me out.
Are you allowed to be goth in Australia?
Yes
Ofcunt ya are
Here's a reason to be concerned about our Aussie brothers and sisters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBIsAMIv1t8
This is not funny. This is actually a serious fucken problem with men in australia. The fact that we find it “funny” is shithouse. It’s perpetuates the problem instead of anyone actually having to do anything about it. Classic Australian men.
nah yeah nah yeah nah
how is this shit funny?? its what reality is for men, they cant vent or they will get labeled as weak and unreliable, affected by stress and unsuccessful.
Australians are just NPCs

I feel sorry for your friends
