p.s. Damn, the housemates had already seen them and love them too.

I have to share Michael Cusack's animations[0], they're very funny, appalling, and super-Australian. I've met many Australians who talk exactly like this. It's the most Australian stuff on youtube I've seen.

[0] particularly the Damo & Darren series and the YOLO series, but pretty much all his videos since the first YOLO are amazingly good. (The very short Chuck Her In The Ute is genius.)

Damo & Darren pt 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmL72sgVdAQ (ha, I just noticed most of the comments are from Australians confirming that it's very realistic)

It's worth adding that for foreign viewers that no respectable Australian speaks like this, haha. The train station in the animation is supposed to represent Dapto, which is a lower socio-economic area located a few hours south of Sydney. In my experience, the animation captures the area pretty well.

You're not gonna hear any American news anchor or enterprise sales rep speaking in appalachian or black english yet there are no shortage of people who speak either.

Just because the well to do don't do something doesn't mean that isn't part of a place's culture.
