There was an amusing twist after this was published. The creators got in trouble with the Australian Government, who were concerned about their use of the Australian coat of arms: it might confuse viewers into thinking the video was an official government one.

What do all the other countries with an extradition treaty with the US call their own relationship? They can't all be special ... can they?

Please don't post unsubstantive comments.
While cynical and snarky towards US government, the comment is substantive if you're familiar with the term:

It's a cliché. That is one reason the GP comment was unsubstantive.

That's my fault- I should have left that last sentence out. Reading it again it begs a reply like Sharlin's. I should have known better than to post it.

In reality the relationship is quite the opposite of this framing, but carry on I suppose.
It's because the US is a powerful ally and the UK does not want to displease them. The British call this their "special relation" to the Americans. I don't know what the Americans call it.
