There's nothing worse than being unAustralian

[Rik]

I’m sickened by the creeping tide of unAustralianism eroding our great traditions (http://www.mla.com.au/content.cfm?sid=1437).
Download the 90 second video, only 3meg, you'd be unAustralian if you didn't.

[shel]

haha... love the mention about us calling g-strings, thongs or watnot.
and they're actually airing that? sure to create a lot of controversy with the pot-smoking hippies...

[Rik]

It's already been aired (campaign started on Sunday), and already been put through the sensationalism steamer, had a story on today tonight (http://seven.com.au/todaytonight/story/?id=18109), but it's been cleared by Advertising Standards Bureau for broadcasting: (http://smh.com.au/articles/2005/01/18/1105810904041.html?oneclick=true) "..the dominant view of the board is that the advertisement is clearly satirical".

[johnny]

Ah Sam K., my hero.

I even have his book :p

[kb]

What an Australian, top bloke. If that doesnt make all aussies chow down on a lamb chop on Australia Day i dont know what will

[Fat_Ride]

Love that clip!! I want to see a debate with Sam K. and Reg Reagan VS. two conservative activists!! Sure to be funny!!

Makes me want some lamb too!


Nothing unAustralian about me!!
My avatar is my tat on my shoulder!! I wear it proud everyday! hahaha

[wombat]

Is the 90sec version not working for anyone else?

[DJ_Robbie]

ditto here, only the 60 sec jobbie is working.

[Fat_Ride]

Is the 90sec version not working for anyone else?

Just open it... don't try to 'save from target'!!

Should work. did for me just then.

[wombat]

I tried just opening the link, no dice, it just loads a blank page.

[milne]

none of them work for me.
tryed save target and open new window all that,
no worky

What a jackass.

[cam-o]

What a jackass.
Using a northern american insult to deride gratuitous Aussie sentiments, that's two strikes Techno. One more and we'll have to vote you off the island. :p

You're right... I'm not Australian (well, I actually attend my "swearing-in" ceremony in April, so that'll be a bit different then), so maybe I have no place giving my opinion here, but...

I don't know about you, but I feel people who tell me whether I'm Canadian or not, are generally full of shit. This dude is telling you if you don't do something, you're not Australian. The message is probably 51% joke, but still... that qualifies a person as a jackass to me. The lines about "you know where the airport is" and such, just really strike a chord. I'm sure he has a sticker on whatever he drives (it better be a ute, or he's being unAustralian!) that says "Australia. Love it or leave it!"

Right wing humour is still right wing.

Ok. I'll stop being such a killjoy now.

[parallax]

AHAHAHA HI-LARIOUS!! BRILLIANT!! FANTASTIC!! This is the funniest commercial since fat, old, ex-footballers started selling cheap clothes for Lowes.

I'd love to see some statistics after Australia Day on how lamb sales compare to previous years. I reckon the larrikin within most Aussie families will play along with it and buy lamb, even if it's for shits and giggles.

ps. Love the line about the aussie diggers. Ahaha - brilliant!!

[floody]

"If I hear one more person say thong, when they mean those swimming costumes poncy Brazillian blokes wear up their bums, I'll do my block"
ROFLMAO!
Sam Kekovich's humour is a bit love it or leave it - I personally love it, his spot on The Fat used to be the highlight of the show for me.

You know it makes sense...

[ebuk]

Ok. I'll stop being such a killjoy now.

thanks yank! (joke)

[Grip]

thanks yank! (joke)

Oahhhh.... mate... it's been nice knowing you and all. Calling a Canadian a Yank is like standing round to watch what the Grizzly does when it discovers you ate its meal.:eek:

[Techno Destructo]

thanks yank! (joke)

GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! :mad:

Legislation - 11 April 2003, 2003

I've never met a push bike rider I haven't wanted to punch in the face.
They are a bunch of lycra-d poseurs who think its their duty to bore everyone with gushing descriptions of ferro-titannium frames and reconstituted quail-egg forks.
Bicycle riding is the ultimate mid life cry for help & its flaccid men in flourescent tops and shaved legs, plastered with Italian brand names like il wanker and da poonce, coasting along in the middle lanes of
highways, shouting at passing cars what more do I have to do for you to run me over?
While everyone's looking the other way I urge this government to push through legislation to outlaw the scourge of the social cyclist, and cockney house painters.
I've never made it a secret that I don't like cockneys. I don't like cockney painters and I don't like cockney painters who after a fortnight of failing to finish the living room, say in their twee-ist accent sorry
guv, but theres no accounting for the weather. When you point out were in the middle of a drought and that the living room is, in fact, indoors, they shrug their fat pasty shoulders and whine 'we can only do what we do.'
The reality of modern diplomacy is that war only comes around every decade or so, and the government should take the opportunity to streamline the draconian laws that have kept businesses ham-strung and
courts overflowing. Changes to Medicare, Human Rights, Media Ownership are well overdue, and this government would be fools to themselves, and us, if they failed to push through as much legislation as quickly as possible in case the war comes to a premature end.
Good government isn't just about economics and law and order and what better time is there to be the panacea of society's ills?
Dentists, taxi drivers, real estate agents, toll collectors, academics, could all be whisked away with a couple of signatures. I know shes not Australian, but I'm sure you could get bi-partisan support that Renee Zellweger should never make another film.
You know it makes sense

Aaahahahahhaha holy shit, his material is gold. And after having seen him on The Fat so many times, I can picture him delivering the above, and that makes it even funnier.
He reminds me of the guys I work with, disgruntled middle age right wing ignoramus' that have an axe to grind with the world... so I guess that's why I find it all so amusing, as I can imagine the guys at work rambling on like that about total BS... thankfully we have the drone of the machines to drown it all out!

You get offended waaaay too easily. People who get offended that easily are un-Australian. Go back to America!

[Dim]

AHAHAHA that is hilarious

[scottmeister]

He doesn't blink very often :rolleyes:

[Simo]

golden, but then again, Sam's stuff always is.

as for yank/cannuck thing. When I was in the states I kept getting asked if I was from England (because of my oh so British accent??) so my standard reply became:
"Nah, I'm from Australia...but don't worry, all you Canadians make the same mistake".
I think it was borderline for some of the people I used it on :D

[2 smooth 4 u]

hahah i saw that on tv yesterday its soo funny

[Techno Destructo]

I'll admit it. You're right with that.


Go back to America!

And your sheep are waiting for you back in New Zealand!:p

I got the same thing... The yanks can be so dopey. They don't even understand our 'english' language most the time...

I also gave them the whole 'you're canadian' thing... they didn't take well to it.

Ah, I think Sam's humour is slightly more nuanced than you may be taking it for TD. I have his book and when I get home, I'll illegally reproduce some that may change your mind on dear old Sam.
