How did australians feel about this episode?
Lazy stereotypes that weren't particularly clever and just seemed like it was lazily written. Even as a spoof of Australian culture from stuff like Crocodile Dundee, it ended up not being particularly interesting. Like the bit with the boot? Our punishment involves being kicked with a boot for some reason?
We loved it
Do Americans think we should be offended?
It's from a different time. In the 1990s, Americans saw Australians as rugged, masculine, and uncouth. Obviously, now we know Australians are a bunch of whiny pussies. But it was different back then.
It's hilarious and I still say "dollarydoos".
I imagine most aussies either took it in good humor or didn't care. It was like one uptight politician who got all mad about it.
Yeah we all got the point about how Americans think we're backward. That was subtlety done but even Australians were able to pick up on that.
They got all our hopes up with Dundee and Steve Irwin. Every other Aussie I know of is the most craven of cowardly cucks. They lost a war to a flightless bird.
Why is the skin color not Simpsonoid?
IT WAS FUNDED BY BASKIN ROBERTS POOFTER CRAMMING
Another flood of half dozen spam Simpsons and family guy trash threads shitting up the catalogue again. and again and again. Take your meds schizotranny. Fuck off to sharty
Simpson, Homer Simpson! He's the greatest guy in history!
From the, town of Springfield! He's about to hit a chestnut tree!

They loved it. Old Simpsons jokes about countries are funny and if you don't like them, you are too young or too faggolio to enjoy them.
FPWP
This episode was gold
we fookin loved it cunt
yeah nah it's fucken kino m8
fookin
nice try you cringe seppo fuck
"Eine Minuten, eine Minuten!"
One of the greatest episodes. I loved the intro. The guy that sits on his house's roof and drops into the flow of lava when trying to answer the payphone ...
What the hell is wrong with that hemisphere?
burkina faso, disputed zone?!
strewth
What the hell is wrong with that hemisphere
genuinely a good question
My god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet?
wtf does this mean
It was funny i don't know anyone irl who doesn't like it
"i'd a called em chazzwozzas"
He was an Australian comedian who had one semi-successful movie in the West. I think it was called "Einstein Junior" and the joke was that "he split the beer atom".
Old Australians hated it.
Young Australians loved it.
Or at least that's how I've heard it told.
Dollarydoos may have become a meme term for money, I also heard that.
homer looks at south America on a globe and sees Uruguay
hey look at this country "you are gay" heheh
one of my favorite bits
Hey! Prime Ministah!
White people are not offended by retarded stereotypes, only niggers and chinks are.
that's a bloody outrage it is im taking this all the way to the prime ministah
i quote this irl all the time
The prime minister of Australia was a good likeness of Paul Keating, the actual PM at the time
He has great jugs.
ANDY!
So many classic gags in that ep
youtube.com
Marge: I can't believe our government would set up Bart like that! I must say, I'm very angry at the State Department right now.
Ambassador: Yes but, Mrs. Simpson, please. We're about to reach a breakthrough with the Aussies.
Diplomat: [on the phone] Then it's agreed. During the bargaining session we each get two candy apples...all right, one candy and one caramel.
Marge: Oh, for the love of criminy! Gimme that. [grabs phone] Look, I know Bart did something wrong, but he's my son, and_I'm_ going to punish him myself. Our countries may have their differences, but as human beings, I think we can all agree, there's no substitute for the discipline of a loving parent...He wants to talk to you. [hands phone to Diplomat]
Diplomat: Y'ello? Mm hmm...so we're in agreement. She won't be allowed near the phone again.
One of my favorite scenes.
are aussies really this based or did the simpsons lie again
Millenials and Zoomers love it cause le memes and le heckin' ANDY! But Boomers were rightly offended because it misrepresented our great nation.
I'm not Australian. That shit was funny and I'd fist fight any Aussie that says otherwise.
Which way does the water go in your toilet?
>He says the tide is turning!
Which way does the water go in your toilet?
It was fine for what it was. Never met an Australian who was seriously offended by it.
In hindsight it was a warning sign for the zombie Simpsons trend of "can't think of an episode this week? Just send them to some random country", which I'm pretty sure Australia was the first.
Had that episode on VHS ToT
It was probably intentional.
In the very first season they sent Bart to France while the Simpsons got an Albanian spy kid in return. Nothing much happened in that episode except for a lot of French stereotypes.
now we know Australians are a bunch of whiny pussies
But also rugged and uncouth.
The movie was called Young Einstein en.wikipedia.org
Oi. Rite gazzah, mate.
This was also in that episode. (The centre of the Earth.)
Young Einstein is a good movie, but you probably have to be Australian to get it. Or very familiar with Australian humour, at least what was Australian humour. Now we're just a fucking police state being flooded with 3rd world scum.
I only remember that movie dimly. And I guess it didn't help either that of course here in Europe it was dubbed.
gday lads, whats the good word
based
oh yeah, i do remember that.
in australia they would rarely show s1 on repeats. idk if they just weren't that popular or the rights to them cost more, but i've probably seen every ep from s2 to 10 a dozen times growing up, but have to go out of my way to find s1
Besides the boot shit it was pretty good. The episode has a lot of great jokes.
dubbed
Yeah, that would ruin it.
it was funny like most early-mid Simpsons
Koala bear climbs a power pole
gets electrocuted and falls off the pole
climbs the same pole again
In Germany too. Season 1 rights are held by a different channel than the rest of the show, and that channel doesn't show old re-runs unfortunately. There were some iconic episodes in season 1, but it didn't quite reach the level of humor yet that seasons 3 - 9 had.
how did dropbears get the clap anyway
dingo ate your baby joke
How come Hollywood made this joke so much, what's so funny about dogs slaughtering a baby like that?
no sense of humour is a bootable offense
Its funny. I laughed at the prime minister just lounging around in some lake
irl koalas are retarded and stoned all the time. they're also fucking rapists, i know you can't judge an animal by human morals, but the males literally just rape the females and they scream and you can hear them if you live in the country
some of those who fuck drop bears
are the same who huff petrol
My old roommate had this flag in his room
it's unironcally because of Meryl Streep doing an Aussie accent. She had a period in the 80s where she was obsessed with playing mothers who had lost their children
French cop doesn't give a shit about obvious child abuse right in front of him but freaks out when he hears about antifreeze in ze wine
that one's not just a stereotype
Australians WERE rugged, masculine and uncouth in the 80s. Foreigners don't realise how much Australian culture has changed thanks to faggots in power. Just compare any Australian actor from the 80s with any Australian actor from today. Australian culture used to be localised outside of the cities, but with the greater establishment of state culture all we get is the city culture.
Australia is basically just New India
Reminder our government says its not OK to be white and they can't define what a women is.
Besides the boot shit it was pretty good
Anon, shush! Disparaging The Boot is a Bootable offence!
IRL it was a tragedy. A mother reported her baby being stolen by dingoes. The court didn't believe her and she spent 32 years in prison for murder until one day her baby's bones were found near a dingo lair.
koalas are the only mammal that are actually smooth brained. Not even a meme, its literally smooth, and it only takes up 60% of their skull. The rest is fluid.
They're probably the lowest functioning mammals. They only eat eucalyptus leaves, but can't recognize the leaves as food out of context. If a zookeeper put one in a bare enclosure and left leaves for it in a food bowl the Koala would starve to death.
It's only like that because we have begun slurping up so much media. Our cities are so liberal, gay and cucked it is insane. Anywhere outside a major city is alright, but you're instead contending with meth addicts and abbos instead of trannies and rainbow-haired fruitcakes who want to return all land in Australia back to the aboriginals despite never having met an aboriginal person in their life (apart from their one friend in highschool who was 1/16th)
Oh, OK. I didn't know that.
There's a theory out there that creatures that live in challenging surroundings/climate evolve to become smarter over time, and that those that inhabit "paradises" don't need to and are relatively dumb.
meant to say US media.
idpol took a stranglehold on major city centres here in an absolutely insane manner. melbourne being ground 0.
so yeah you cunts are to blame because our masses just slurp up whatever shit Waleed Aly tells them on The Project.
The regional areas are being flooded with immigrants too.
yeah I went to Toowoomba a few years ago and was surprised it had become an African colony. Shits fucked. There's really no going back anymore.
Rat brains are smooth too but big smart
That's because they kicked them off their land not too long ago. That's the reason.
Yeah I've heard about the fights between the abo and nigger gangs.
Kill yourself retard
What land?
I don't know about that. But Koalas are the only animals that eat Eucalyptus leaves, a plant that has basically no nutritional value whatsoever and is highly toxic. So while they have very simple brains, which are probably even simpler than the first mammals, sleep 22 hours a day, and expend as little energy as possible the other 2 with a slothlike metabolism, they have a very advanced and specialized digestive system to process their worthless toxic food source. They're highly specialized for their environment as being in eucalyptus trees affords them good protection from predators.
I would say a better way to think of it than your line is something I heard from a biologist that "function comes before form." Animals start doing one thing, then over time they become more and more adapted for that particular thing and may become highly specialized for it.
The east coast
Oh I guess we should give 100% of it back to them and all go back to Europe. Then all the non-Europeans in Europe should all leave and go back to India/Sri Lanka/China/Timbuktu. I agree with your philosophy that immigration is cringe. Let's completely reverse it.
The Project is owned by Paramount (CBS) btw. An american company.
Yeah I'm aware. It's funny because they all label murdoch media as rightwing propaganda when it's actually also very fuck left leaning as well. we actually have no conservative media apart from Sky News and The Australian which are both just sensationalist tabloid shit which appeals to boomers with 8 investment properties
Yes, all right. Now let's consider humans. Africa never suffered from the ice ages that covered northern Europe under a 2km thick ice sheet until around 11,000 BC. African humans had about a 400,000 year head start to develop advancements to humankind. Did they, though? No, they didn't. You probably don't have to if you can just walk into the jungle and pick a banana when you get hungry, or hunt a gazelle. You don't have to invent brick houses and glass windows if you can live in a mudhut all year round. But the thing is, if living is easy, you don't invent all the other stuff either. Until one day colonists come around and show you what schools and hospitals and motorcars are.
IQ tests reflect this. The average IQ is about 100 in Western countries and it gets as low as the low 60s in Central Africa.
