Get it together, Aussies. EDIT: Australias population is 5x higher too? Explain yourselves!

      The guy who did Summer Heights High? He was Australian, and a racist.

      You know what- I’m stating to think there are some funny Australians after all. Sorry to hear about the racist one though

      I’m honestly kinda conflicted on Rhys Darby now. He’s hilarious in a lot of stuff, but has anyone seen his standup? Maybe it’s got regional appeal, but felt super super bland. It made me look at some of his other stuff, I feel like he’s got a few really good roles that he’s really known for and a lot more stuff where he just kinda phones it in.
