I'm American and I think New Zealand has so many funny people and Australia has so few.

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.

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.

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

Literally every other country. Australians think Tim Minchin is funny. There’s something wrong with them
