The Travel Bug

[Kathleen]

The phrase "the world is your oyster" is only appealing if you happen to like oysters.

I was going to comment on Jedward here but then I realized just how much rage that would induce in me.

I assume the two characters are meant to be American given how they riffed on everything, including Canada, but not America?

[RedNightmare]

No Netherlands?! You mention France and Germany, but not us, again? I am insulted!

Also, is it weird the only books I recognized behind Andy and Kathleen were the Discworld novels?

Many English speakers avoid saying "The Netherlands" due to a creeping fear that it can't possibly be pronounced the way it is spelled.

[RedNightmare]

Actually it is. Intersting fact: The reason it's called that is because roughly half of our country is below sea-level (no joke).

[WAYF]

I'm not going to lie, this one didn't make me laugh in the slightest.
But that doesn't mean it's not good.
In fact, it's so accurate that it's too accurate to be funny. I'm reminded of a production company here in Australia which makes satirical TV shows (notably "Frontline" and "The Hollowmen") which were the same. You watched them and you went "Yes. This is probably exactly how it happens."
(It's worth mentioning that "too accurate to be funny" is by no means an insult.)

Though if you ask me, the problem with French people is not that they're rude, but they do smoke a LOT. It's really distracting when there are so many other good smells you could be smelling, like say, the smell of really good food (which France has plenty of).

[Flewellyn]

This was superbly written and acted. Well done.

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

I'm glad Wales was acknowledged for existing.
I wish the insult would have been more original. At least you didn't got the sheep route.

[Cokey]

Absolutely, 100% perfect description of Australia. I should know, I'm in the bit filled with spiders.

[Drecon]

I found most of this one not funny. Just not my kind of humor I guess. (I think it's mostly the fact that seeing people fighting makes me uncomfortable)

And then it did a heel face turn and suddenly it was funny again.
I especially loved the stinger.

[Aydin225]

I love Andy, he just makes everything better.

I love the quicker parts of this, it felt like these characters would be great in a Rapidfire series.

Thing!----why its terrible
Other Thing!---why its worse
Third Thing!---you're terrible
aaaaand we come back to it later

[Geoff_B]

I spent most of the video trying to identify the Discworld novels on the back shelf

[Elomin Sha]

Any video with Andy doing multiple accents is great.

[empath]

Heh, I had to stop and go back, because I missed the first few (stupid cold).

It was fun and funny and made me feel a little better...

...heck, I'm gonna go rewatch it now.

I agree that I didn't find this one that funny, since most of it was just Kathleen insulting places. The joke only came along when the mother was mentioned, and I realised on the bus earlier that this sketch would be HILARIOUS if they were just trying to find places to traumatise (but not kill) the mother into never seeing them again.

[Lord Chrusher]

It might be that I live in Melbourne which is relatively free of dangerous creatures but I am a little tired of the 'Australia is full of deadly creatures trope'.

[Lord Hosk]

Your national animal tends to kick and stomp people to death if they wander within 50 feet of them.

[illbane]

I wanted to compliment Kathleen and Andy on their great job acting in this video. The writing was also lovely. Thank you much for the entertainment.

[Dominic Appleguard]

Welcome to the forums. It's a cool place to be.

[empath]

...and even cooler for having you! I agree with your compliments, too.

[KistlaKahn]

That's the second time I've heard the term "swimming knives" with regards to Australia's surrounding oceans. Are they a real thing? Some kind of naturally sharp finned fish? If so, WHY WOULD YOU SWIM THERE?!?

I enjoyed the video, thought it was very funny. Its also always good to see Andy participating, I don't think there's a single video he's involved in I haven't hardily laughed at.

[Master Gunner]

She's referring to sharks.

Personally, it's the jellyfish that scare me. Specifically, the one whose toxin is so painful you will be awake and screaming through near-lethal levels of morphine.

[Lord Chrusher]

It is the crocodiles that scare me.

[Cokey]

Head over to the Australian Wildlife page on TV Tropes, scroll down to "Fish and aquatic creatures" and have a read. Feel like going for a swim?

[Lord Chrusher]

Yes, although I am now worried about stepping on a cone snail.
