    It’s not an issue of national pride, Australia is a dog shit nation. It’s about being funny and interesting.

    Funny joke: “I was arriving at the airport and they asked if I had a criminal background, I didn’t realise that was still a requirement”.

    Boring, played out, uncreative nonsense: “haha spiders upside down haha”

        Yeah you got it. Make fun of our stupid accents, our ridiculous infighting politics, the horrible racism, how every Aussie thinks we’re some rugged larrikin but we have fines and regulations for everything (welcome to Australia: fines apply on a sticker had me in stitches in an airport bathroom), the hilarious “this place was discovered in XXXX, by an expedition being guided by a local man to a sacred place” plaques, the sex pest tourism we inflict on our neighbours whatever.

        I’m just so bored of people bagging on made up stuff about the wildlife. They’re cool and interesting, and there’s loads to crack jokes about.
