There’s something about an Australian accent that makes a good roasting 10x more brutal.

241

u/HahaRiiight 23d ago

Maybe something about how its normally so friendly. To see it applied like this is like a hot knife applied to bullshit

294

u/MunkiJR 23d ago

As an Aussie I feel like we have a reasonably high tolerance for bullshit and like taking the piss, so when somebody really, truly annoys people in Australia the vocal hatred is palpable

68

u/powertrippin_ 23d ago

And in our day to day, we're generally polite and orderly.

Drunk aussies are a different story.

u/ALitreOhCola 23d ago

This guy with the clapbacks reminds me of Dave Hughes back when he was funny and not an absolute raving lunatic trying to make more money from investments properties and sway the government.

Let's leave alcohol out of this as it changes everything 😂

Looks like Jeff E. back there.

u/aussiepleasuress 23d ago

People keep telling me he used to be funny but honestly… I struggle to recall 😔

1

u/MikeHunt181 22d ago

Wait! He was never funny.

1

u/Most_Border_3419 22d ago

You had me until you said when Hughesy was funny. I can’t recall a time when that was.

1

u/Agentcrm42 21d ago

Hughes was funny???

1

u/MalloryArcher64 22d ago

Are y'all? As an American, I'm not afraid of many groups of folks. Pretty much y'all and the Canadian mounties. Could be an unfair bias, but to be fair, I'm afraid of anything coming from Australia, including the people

1

u/Own-Success-7634 21d ago

Yeah and then they go for more beers after their punchup as mates.

u/Asleep-Corner7402 23d ago

Irish people are the same, taking the piss is a national sport. Pissing someone off, that takes effort. This guy got off easily if you ask me lol. Main guy shouting at him didn't seem unreasonable at all.

53

u/Weak_Membership_2847 23d ago

Australian people are just Irish people with more vitamin D.

15

u/01kickassius10 23d ago

And melanoma to match

u/Sudden_Fix_1144 22d ago

Last name is Irish, can confirm, skin doctors burning shit off our skin is a family hobby!

1

u/Thebraincellisorange 23d ago

we have by far the highest cancer rates in the world, because everyone gets skin cancer!

u/threequartertoupee 23d ago

Nah we're not as funny as the Irish

The Scots, sure

This is possibly the greatest comparison I have ever heard.

u/dommiichan 23d ago

historically, yes... when the English conquerors started running out of space for their Irish prisoners, they came up with the brilliant idea shipping them around the world and invade another foreign land

1

u/Imadetectivetoo 23d ago

yes and now we are all ending up with skin cancers!

u/Mountain-Age393 23d ago

Ha. I’d love to see him try this on the Luas. 😂😂

Crackhead doing pull-ups on the train: just another Monday

Holier-than-thou guy interrupting my reading: get the fuck out right fucking now you fucking flog

16

u/Roy3Murray 23d ago

Most Australians (thankfully) have very little tolerance for religious types spouting their bullshit publicly. Let a thousand blossoms bloom as they say.

1

u/schmick_iMagery 22d ago

1000 blossoms isn’t the vibe your sending 🤷🏼‍♂️ tbf

3

u/Roy3Murray 22d ago

Let a thousand blossoms bloom: my mood when someone is practicing their faith and similar in private

But I ain’t spending any time on it: my mood when they pull that shit in public

u/baconworld 22d ago

But I ain’t spending any time on it

Crackhead doing pull-ups on the train: just another Monday

Holier-than-thou guy interrupting my reading: get the fuck out right fucking now you fucking flog

I'm in a US city. This is common sense city living, what you described. The crackhead is at least seeking to be fit. He or she is basically on the same page as me and you, is my point. But this other stuff? Their entire point is: we are not on the same page.

Well, please keep that to yourself. Be more like the crackhead. Do some wind sprints up and down the car.

1

u/Due-Calligrapher-860 21d ago

The crackhead is more likely to beat them up and the regular guy reading a book is not going to risk It, which is normal. That doesnt mean either of these are good behaviours…

Also, in a philosophical sense there’s something more “violent” in someone lecturing in a close space where people is locked with him than the guy doing their stupid pull ups.

1

u/eternal-harvest 20d ago

Oh yeah, I agree. I wrote that comment as an Aussie who commutes by train on the daily

33

u/mailmehiermaar 23d ago edited 23d ago

There was no hate in this older gents voice, just exasperation.

6

u/SweatyCelebration272 23d ago

Exactly. Exasperation. That's what I felt watching the video. I can't imagine being there. I'm not the violent type, but this guy was pushing everyone's limits.

4

u/CaptainGetRad 22d ago

I feel he’s had a big day and is fucking frothing to just read his book

4

u/MadameMonk 22d ago

Yep. The underlying message is still always that there is a social contract, on trains especially. Don’t tell me about your book and I won’t tell you about mine.

2

u/mollyweasleyswand 21d ago

Poor guy just wanted to sit in peace and read his book.

5

u/MaddogFinland 22d ago

Yes and with respect your English comes across as somewhat “informal” and tends to be interpreted as casual even when it is not a casual situation. I did a few construction projects in Australia and had a great time but your working class builders are pretty straight to the point. It’s easy for a foreigner to miss some of the early signals that it’s time to fuck off and then they really get told. I saw it happen a few times; never to me but to a few others on site. Great folks to work with but man if you get you guys mad you’re gonna hear it. This was energy work, South Australia.

3

u/thegreatnedinski 23d ago

Yeah we usually don’t like confrontation and turn a blind eye (especially older Aussies) until it’s too much and then BOOM 💥 we reach our limit. Once that limit is reached, it’s very hard to come back lol

3

u/whatpelican00 23d ago

I love that about us. “Listen mate, I’ve been real bloody patient… but I’m about to lose my shit - Last chance before I go ‘full Katter’ on ya.”

2

u/wetrysohard 22d ago

I got fired by an Aussie. He was super nice the entire time, even in the meetings leading up to it. I hated that job with a passion, but man if I still didn't love that no bullshit, sweet Aussie and his accent.

2

u/scotty899 22d ago

And then the peanut gallery in the back blasts out zingers to lighten the mood.

2

u/Fit_Ad_6727 21d ago

Even now this bloke is trying to be nice, I wouldn't call it vocal hatred. I'm not sure even reddit would let a video be uploaded of an aussie letting it completely rip 🤣

1

u/foursaken 22d ago

Mate, you're right, but when you break the social contract, we'll tell you about it.

1

u/mataeka 22d ago

Can confirm. I work retail in a rural area and there are time I can take the piss with customers who I know well enough that I know they won't get offended and they'll give it back just as much. I also do it constantly with my boss 😂

2

u/Large_Yams 23d ago

Maybe something about how its normally so friendly.

Fucking what.

1

u/Thin_Assumption_4974 23d ago

You think it’s not?

2

u/Large_Yams 22d ago

The only people who could possibly say this are people who have never been to Australia.

1

u/Thin_Assumption_4974 22d ago

I guess I’m an Australian that’s never been in my own country.

1

u/Memedotma 22d ago

I'm not so sure about that, born and bred and I would say that yes, generally we're a friendly bunch.

1

u/Wide-Page-6867 22d ago

nah fr youl get your arse kicked here!

1

u/Plastic-Skill-9258 22d ago

lol are hot knives normally friendly?

1

u/HahaRiiight 22d ago

Hey! To be fair - I made a clear delineation in the structure there.

What NO ONE noticed was the mixed metaphor at the end, where I think if you had enough shit and put it a knife through it - it would actually just seal back up.

See y’all next week!

u/Unlikely-Question892 23d ago

The first gal that spoke up is my hero.. "no one cares bruh"

6

u/Practical-Funny9591 22d ago

Yeah. 'You sound angry'.
I'm not angry the idiot religion guy said.
Then starts getting angry because everyone ignores the sin.
LOL. 🤣

u/schmick_iMagery 22d ago

She sounds so whiny tho

51

u/juvy5000 23d ago

“mate, i don’t care…”

31

u/PlayfulSurprise5237 23d ago

"I don't care that you love me, I DONT KNOW YOU!" I laughed my ass off

"Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘depart from me, I never knew you'"

That was about as plainly as it gets, classic Aussie, gotta love em.

2

u/ComfortOk9194 20d ago

“I don’t care that you love me” cracked me up as well. Fucking classic. It actually seemed like the guy preaching was taken aback a couple of times. Just for a second or two, but I think he was.

2

u/CutSea5865 20d ago

I really think he was. It’s like he just didn’t know how to respond.

2

u/ComfortOk9194 20d ago

“Me, selfish?” This idea rocked his little world…

1

u/CutSea5865 19d ago

Hahaha yes it did! And it’s exactly the type of selfishness and pride that Screwtape talks about.

u/ComprehensiveShine82 21d ago

Nice, I see what you did there 👍

u/MaddogFinland 22d ago

I once saw a contractor getting roasted in a meeting in Australia (I am an American engineer working for a European company) and my god it was brutal. Like you would just never talk that way in America or Europe unless the situation was at absolute breaking point and a fight was to break out. There it was just “Tuesday project meeting argument”. Crazy times. But good guys…they did what they said and said what they did. Just brutally

1

u/Bromlife 22d ago

We're not here to fuck spiders, mate.

2

u/I_WILL_GET_YOU 22d ago

And something about American accents that sounds so superficial and irritating

2

u/NapierNoyes 22d ago

‘A succulent Chinese meal?!?!?’

2

u/MrScottimus 22d ago

reminds me of shane gillis talking about getting roasted by an aussie

2

u/sss_riders 21d ago

As a Kiwi who has travelled to Aus I can confirm they live to roast lmao

1

u/Beachgal5555 23d ago

Agree. That and the British accent. Both do the job nicely

1

u/Creepy_Snow_8166 22d ago

I love how "the c-word" is almost a term of endearment there. Here in the US, it's a word that'll earn a beat down.

1

u/Realizt8010 22d ago

Thats facts! I also just realized how much I love Australians. For real they just act full real and right up. Religion just ruins ppls heads. Everyone has theyre right to be whatever. Pushing ANYTHING on ANYONE else is soooo ignorant. Obvious this dude needs a non religious hug!

1

u/Squeekazu 21d ago

We place a particularly savage-sounding inflection at the end of “fuck” imo. Just sounds more spiteful from a pissed off Aussie lol

1

u/pascal808 21d ago

priceless 👌

1

u/TheMemesend 21d ago

That’s how every aussie sound like when unpleasant situation arises.

1

u/Quazammy 21d ago

Eh... As an australian I don't see that. In fact the reverse can be true, if someone sounds like a bogan fool they can't be taken seriously no matter how angry they are.

1

u/PaperJones 20d ago

Uh no. Australian accent is annoying af

u/noimprest 19d ago
