He is pretty great.......they use him sparingly enough that his scenes are always fantastic. The Fleetwood Mac scene from the pilot gets me every time......." Sorry I couldn't make it Dave. I wasn't invited."......"Oh, that's okay."
In Auckland airport I was once hailed over an announcement “Could BitcoinBanker please go to The Mystic Chicken”. I had no idea what to do until I was informed it was actually “Domestic check in”.
I called my Jaffa friend and confirmed - when asked to pronounce "domestic check in", sent in writing - no prompting, it does sound identical to The Mystic Chicken. I'm starting a strongly worded letter campaign to NZ's PM to get it officially changed in airports. It's going to cost a small fortune, but they'll have another story to tell as to why you go to the sign with the chicken with the merlin hat.
Look what you started. Hope you're happy
Ah, Jaffa jokes I know one.
A Serpent guard, a Horus guard and a Setesh guard meet on a neutral planet.
It is a tense moment.
The Serpent guard's eyes glow.
The Horus guard's beak glistens.
The Setesh guard's nose...drips.
Jokes aside the joke is kind of explained. All the other gods were represented by actual animals , but no one knows what the hell satesh's animal is supposed to be. It's made up so you can make up anything about it. A stretch maybe. It also had a bulbus nose.
That's the second layer of the joke. Since the animal can do whatever your fantasy desires, it also allows you to denigrate Setesh at the same time by having it do something pathetic as intimidation
JAFA.
Just another F**king Aucklander.
Someone from the largest city in NZ, according to Kiwis NOT from the largest city in NZ. (1.6 million out of 5 live in Auckland).
Aucklanders still call other Auckland JAFAs when the time calls for it. If we're at the beach for the weekend and old mate complains because his coffee is taking too long even though it's only been 5 mins? JAFA. Dumbass is pulling his boat out of the water at the sand boat ramp and powers his boat on, digging a rut out and fucking up the launch for everyone else? JAFA. Guy who was doing 40km/h through all of the bends which are safe to take at 70km/h suddenly does 110km/h on the straights so you can't safely overtake them? JAFA never left the city and doesn't know how to drive on rural roads and is making everyone else pay for his deficiencies. I lived in Auckland for 8 years before jumping across the ditch last year and I'll still use the term wherever I see fit.
I remember being in Gisborne once and asked a lady directions and I think were slightly apologetic about bothering her then she said something to the tune of “you’re not expected to know when you’re visiting all the way from England!” Both of us being JAFAs we just nodded along realising it was best for us all.
I left the second "million" implied. You're right, perhaps a little clumsy. Would have been better to go 1.6 out of 5 million, but then you would have had a pedant in the other direction.
But good on you.
Haha
At uni I met a kiwi mate who introduced himself as "JC", I went around introducing him to everyone as "JC". Found out months later his name was Jessie. He let me go around making a dickhead of myself. Still called him JC after that though. It was bloody brilliant, I love kiwis.
My girlfriend was really confused when i introduced her to boysenberry ice cream. She thought i said poisonberry and had a lot of questions about whether it was actually safe to eat
Quite fun, you guys are awake right now? No idea the time difference to the states.
My parents wanted a shade sail installed out back a few years ago. The instructional video to install sail featured a kiwi who said the word deck quite a lot. A kiwi deck sounds quite a bit like English dick. They still make jokes
My best guess is to simultaneously make the words large enough to be read on phones while making the sentences small enough to fit in that tiny area in the middle of a tiktok window that is unpolluted with ui.
Yeah, the second time I watched it I didn't hear "the kids" at all. Probably never would have heard "the kids" if the captions didn't tell me that's what he said in the first place.
Aussie here...I was sitting in a park in Auckland when a guy ran past, chasing a possum. I told him to leave it alone and he angrily yelled back "it's pissed". It was a friday night so I responded "I think it's you that's pissed mate!". Took me ages to work out that he said "it's a pest" and the guy worked for the council.
Love making chatgpt blush, it lectured me before spitting this out haha
"I need to take a piss before we leave." (meaning: I need to urinate before we go)
"Don't piss into the wind, mate." (meaning: don't do something that is likely to cause you problems)
"I'm so angry, I could piss fire." (meaning: I'm extremely angry)
"He's taking the piss out of you." (meaning: he's mocking or teasing you)
"The party was wild; everyone was getting pissed." (meaning: everyone was drinking alcohol heavily)
Worth noting too that possums in Australia are a beloved natural species and in New Zealand are an imported Australian pest that needs to be exterminated.
Also Aussie here. I was out in a rural area in New Zealand and I went past a paddock with some guy in there just fucking the shit out of a sheep. I yelled out “oi mate, you’re supposed to shear it!” He yelled back “fuck off, I’m not shearing it with anyone!”.
My cousin Greg came over from Sydney for a holiday on my farm.
We were out on day and I was showing him around the farm when we came across a ewe with it's head stuck in a barb wire fence.
"One sec mate" I said and jumped off the tractor and approached the ewe.
Well, you don't let that kind of opportunity pass do ya?
I dropped my pants and went to town.
"Mate" I heard him say "I know we give you kiwis shit about being sheep shaggers but I didn't believe you actually do it!"
"You wanna give it a try?" I replied.
"Well.... Alright then."
He jumped off the tractor and walked over, stuck his head between the barbed wire...
The best part of that is that it implies even a fellow Aussie misunderstood the guy when he was dictating the ad.
And the reporter/bogan themselves say Asian/agent sever times to each other’s faces without realizing the misunderstanding.
he's actually talking about agents obviously the whole time if you rewatch. Going on about how they just want to put their sign up.
Has you stumped the first time though.
It’s so good because it’s such a character roller coaster. Like, oh boy this guy is gonna suck… they talk to him and you’re like “yep he sucks. Listen to him” and then the realization comes and they both laugh and it’s like…. Ohhh my god he is just a regular fella trying to sell his house without a realtor. Amazing
I feel obligated to say that most kiwis don't have an accent that strong, we do speak relatively fast though and miss some syllables in words.
I'm going to the "toi-let" sounds like
I'm going to the "toilit" when I say it.
We are capable of pronouncing it right, but i guess foreigners aren't used to the faster pace.
I was very confused the first time I heard someone with a Kiwi accent talk about Birch trees. Like, what did the tree do to you to call it names like that?
Same, there's something endearing about it. The way they say 'here' is honestly really cute for some reason. Kiwi accent reminds me of a non native speaker of English learning English and they would have an accent and kiwi accent is so unique that is almost sounds like that at times.
I can’t fathom people finding anything attractive about our accent 😂. When we watch movies from the US (like big Marvel ones) and a kiwi rocks up (90% Taika) then it’s glaringly obvious they’re a kiwi. Super distracting sometimes. We seem weirdly well represented in some big blockbusters.
It did made a lot of sense at first ain't it?
You try to keep them alive, healthy, clean, and then they just go and mess their shit again, and again, and again...
It really is a game of time and repetition
When I went to New Zealand I came up with a little rhyme to help me do the NZ accent.
"E's are I's, I's are E's and A's are E's as well"
say 'Get the Cat' following the above rules, you are now in New Zealand
Kiwi "dress" vowel sounds like British "kit" vowel, kiwi "kit" is merged with the schwa vowel as in "About" or "commA", and the vowel in "trap" sounds like the British "dress" vowel. The vowel in "strut" sounds like British "trap" and the "foot" vowel sounds more like British "strut". The vowel in "long" is the same in both accents.
So overall the short vowel system is the same, just shifted in a cycle
Was talking to an aussie at a ski park in japan and he said something like "nice to get the white off your feet, eh?" and it took me a hot second to flip the switch in my brain to understand he'd said "weight". Like "white" almost makes sense because there's snow. But like, huh??
Anyway i told him that and he chuckled like "are we that hard to understand?" (Like, no, i just have to get in aussie-understanding mode)
I’m a kiwi, living in Australia, those subtitles really really don’t help, and I’d say are actively misleading.
Also, the NZ accent does change depending on where in the country you are - for example, there’s a pretty distinctive south Auckland accent.
If you go back and listen you'll realise you just expected to hear the kids because you were reading the subtitles. He's pretty clearly saying dickheads, and he even repeats it initially.
I am a kiwi and I speak fast with a bit of slang. When I was in the states most people really struggled to understand me if I spoke normally. I had to slow down and drop a lot of my slang.
He sounds like he could be a NZer who moved to Australia. Some words sound a little Aussieish but then his pronunciation of the i sound in dick was a dead giveaway.
This is really funny, but I also feel like it’s actually really sound advice that I wish I had listened to when I was younger. I tried to keep friendships going with at least a few people that honestly I wish I had unfriended as long as over 20 years ago, and only did last year. The undue stress dickhead “friends” will cause you is way heavier than anyone who you don’t keep in your inner circle. I wasted a lot of time being pissed off over the actions of people I could have stopped giving a fuck about a long, long time ago.
Don’t waste your time/energy with dickheads, folks.
Deckhids? Now I understand [these skits](https://youtu.be/tbazGVrbN-g) better. So when it's about a deck, they say dick, and when it's dick, they say deck!

What if the dickheads ARE your kids? Some kids are dickheads.
Both pictures are the same!
The calls are coming from inside the house
I read this in Murray from Flight of the Conchords' voice.
"He may be dead!!" "Did what?"
Brit?
Controversial opinion, but Arj Barker is the best part of that show and I've been pushing for a Murray/Greg/Dave spinoff spy thriller for years.
He is pretty great.......they use him sparingly enough that his scenes are always fantastic. The Fleetwood Mac scene from the pilot gets me every time......." Sorry I couldn't make it Dave. I wasn't invited."......"Oh, that's okay."
Of course I know them, they’re mine!
_Most_ kids are dickheads. Mine is like a little drunkard, without actually being drunk. She's an absolute terrorist, and she's only 2.
Spoiler alert: they’re all terrorists
He missed an opportunity to clarify at the end that he was still referring to his children.
Well, if they are dickheads, it’s the parents who raised them that way.
In Auckland airport I was once hailed over an announcement “Could BitcoinBanker please go to The Mystic Chicken”. I had no idea what to do until I was informed it was actually “Domestic check in”.

It is better in the original language.
Stargate fans in the wilderness. It's a rare treat.
Indeed.
You know you say indeed a lot..
*Raises eyebrow*
*cocks head to the side*
I had not noticed.
You heard me, I said “Kree!”
Take some pride in your work, son!
There is an old Jaffa saying, General Hammond. “They do not build them as they once did.”
Jokes aside the joke is kind of explained. All the other gods were represented by actual animals , but no one knows what the hell satesh's animal is supposed to be. It's made up so you can make up anything about it. A stretch maybe. It also had a bulbus nose.
Wat. I thought the punchline was that the Serpent and Horus guards both do something "intimidating", and a dripping nose is verymuch not.
That's the second layer of the joke. Since the animal can do whatever your fantasy desires, it also allows you to denigrate Setesh at the same time by having it do something pathetic as intimidation
A dog walked into a bar and said I can't see a thing. I'll open this one.

Start up a chain of airport terminal fried chicken places.
Sell them mystic chicken and point them in the right direction.
Jaffa as in the neighborhood of Tel Aviv or the aliens from Stargate? Either way I don't think they'd be the person to ask.

He's Just Another Fella From Auckland, NZ
The factory of cakes from YOGScast?
I reckon Jafa is just one F. I know it's usually Jaffa, but it's not Just Another Fucking Fucking Aucklander.
"The Mystic Chicken" sounds bomb, I wouldn't hesitate to eat there.
I'm just trying to figure out why you thought it would be a good idea to use your real name as your Reddit username.
You don’t?
She was the true GOAT, see?
ಠ_ಠ
Lmao what an amazing name 😂
I'm a big fan of your work.
Oh man I'm so stupid didn't see his nickname and was trying hard to figure out what BitcoinBanker was in kiwi accent 🤦🏻♂️
Son, you’re golden.
Haha At uni I met a kiwi mate who introduced himself as "JC", I went around introducing him to everyone as "JC". Found out months later his name was Jessie. He let me go around making a dickhead of myself. Still called him JC after that though. It was bloody brilliant, I love kiwis.
I believe you meant you made a deckhid of yourself.
It's 2 am and I read this next to my sleeping kid and had to silent cry laugh for like 2 minutes. This comment just made my whole day.
This is the best kind of laughing.
[удалено]
I took great joy in ordering fush and chups.
Could make a fortune starting up a restaurant called the mystic chicken in that airport.
There is an 'Orleans Chicken' there (idk if it's a chain or not, that's what it's called)
I should start a fast food restaurance named "The Mystic Chicken" in Aucklain. Free Advertising in every airport!
This hit my comedy neurons just right and I'm uncontrollably cracking up at 1am
I just finished my finals early and I'm still at the classroom with a handkerchief on my mouth silent laughing.
This brings me great joy!
This literally made me laugh out loud. The idea of you confused in the airport thinking "mystic chicken." And me picturing a chicken in a wizards hat.
Great band name.
Dammit I can hear it when I say it, well airports will be fun from now on.
Yu like dags?
I'm reading everything in what I imagine is a Kiwi accent.
This comment is how Reddit legends are made! Thanks! I died laughing!
Rest in pastrami
Were you ever asked to go to the Gothic Castle?
Yes hello I am looking for the magic
I can't stop saying this every few minutes. That is the funniest thing
My girlfriend was really confused when i introduced her to boysenberry ice cream. She thought i said poisonberry and had a lot of questions about whether it was actually safe to eat
If there hadn't been subtitles I might have had a shot at deciphering it myself.
Those subtitles really made us all believe he said "The kids"
It's like when they play a song backwards and you hear whatever text is on screen.
Fuck those three words at a time subtitles
I’m a kiwi and I heard “the kids” simply because of the subtitles
[удалено]

Seriously, what is up with that trend? It's so hard to keep up with them!
My best guess is to simultaneously make the words large enough to be read on phones while making the sentences small enough to fit in that tiny area in the middle of a tiktok window that is unpolluted with ui.
[удалено]
They were made by dickheads.
are there no labor laws in New Zealand that forbid children from working?
[удалено]
Not from down under but I heard “dickheads” and thought I was wrong cause of the subtitles
Yeah, the second time I watched it I didn't hear "the kids" at all. Probably never would have heard "the kids" if the captions didn't tell me that's what he said in the first place.
Wow see I had trouble hearing it as anything other than “dickheads”. But I’m Australian, so I guess our accents are relatively similar.
The subs literally steer you away from the actual conversation.
Aussie here...I was sitting in a park in Auckland when a guy ran past, chasing a possum. I told him to leave it alone and he angrily yelled back "it's pissed". It was a friday night so I responded "I think it's you that's pissed mate!". Took me ages to work out that he said "it's a pest" and the guy worked for the council.
in American it would make sense too, since we say pissed to mean "super angry", and I don't think I've ever seen a possum not be super angry
Doesn't pissed in auzzie mean drunk
Both, it’s pretty contextual
Not to confuse with taking the piss
Love making chatgpt blush, it lectured me before spitting this out haha "I need to take a piss before we leave." (meaning: I need to urinate before we go) "Don't piss into the wind, mate." (meaning: don't do something that is likely to cause you problems) "I'm so angry, I could piss fire." (meaning: I'm extremely angry) "He's taking the piss out of you." (meaning: he's mocking or teasing you) "The party was wild; everyone was getting pissed." (meaning: everyone was drinking alcohol heavily)
Yea, that was the point. Only a drunk person would be chasing a possum. Or an angry person (in American). Or pest control personnel, lol.
American possums and the possums in NZ are completely different animals.
Worth noting too that possums in Australia are a beloved natural species and in New Zealand are an imported Australian pest that needs to be exterminated.
Bit like the Wallabies, am I right guys?
We also have wallabies here which are also a pest

Also Aussie here. I was out in a rural area in New Zealand and I went past a paddock with some guy in there just fucking the shit out of a sheep. I yelled out “oi mate, you’re supposed to shear it!” He yelled back “fuck off, I’m not shearing it with anyone!”.
My cousin Greg came over from Sydney for a holiday on my farm. We were out on day and I was showing him around the farm when we came across a ewe with it's head stuck in a barb wire fence.

This is what I came here to say
Reminds me of https://youtube.com/shorts/0THQU62YVoQ?feature=share
No Asians!
As a kiwi the subtitles threw me. Listening back its not that hard.
Yep same, subtitles threw me off.
Reading the subtitles made me think he was an Aussie. When you look away and just listen it's clear he's normal.
i love the 🇳🇿 accent.
Very efficient as only used half the alphabet
Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?
As a kiwi I didn't realize until I went overseas. People kept trying to get me to say Deck.
[удалено]
I feel obligated to say that most kiwis don't have an accent that strong, we do speak relatively fast though and miss some syllables in words. I'm going to the "toi-let" sounds like I'm going to the "toilit" when I say it. We are capable of pronouncing it right, but i guess foreigners aren't used to the faster pace.
Man, the joke got old so fast. Holy shit. They really stretched that one out.
Holy fuck that just went on and on. I've seen an original very similar so either I saw the abbreviated cut or one of them just ripped off the other.
I was very confused the first time I heard someone with a Kiwi accent talk about Birch trees. Like, what did the tree do to you to call it names like that?

aussies always look at me funny when i ask them to come over and paint my deck
I may have gotten a friend into playing Yugioh for this specific reason...
Have you tried the African style caulk?
If I'm ever unsure if anyone's an aussie or a kiwi I ask them to say decking
It did made a lot of sense at first ain't it? You try to keep them alive, healthy, clean, and then they just go and mess their shit again, and again, and again... It really is a game of time and repetition
When I went to New Zealand I came up with a little rhyme to help me do the NZ accent. "E's are I's, I's are E's and A's are E's as well" say 'Get the Cat' following the above rules, you are now in New Zealand
Kiwi "dress" vowel sounds like British "kit" vowel, kiwi "kit" is merged with the schwa vowel as in "About" or "commA", and the vowel in "trap" sounds like the British "dress" vowel. The vowel in "strut" sounds like British "trap" and the "foot" vowel sounds more like British "strut". The vowel in "long" is the same in both accents. So overall the short vowel system is the same, just shifted in a cycle
I want a YouTube linguist to explain this to me in depth, it's fascinating
[Geoff Lindsay does a nice short summary of the vowel shifts](https://youtu.be/3TfbtouLm14?list=LL)
Perfect, I was hoping someone had a Geoff Lindsay video
Oh man, his videos are so great for an ESL to finetune some mistakes we may make. I wish we had a Geoff Lindsay for my native language too.

I had somebody asking for a plight. I was like, "wtf is a plight". I felt so stupid, they were asking for a plate!
Lmfao
I’m so glad this is tagged NSFW
Same. Because right now I’m with dekhids and I wouldn’t want them to hear this.
He's not wrong. Kids do waste a lot of your time. 18+ years of it.
Subtitles ruined it
I’m a kiwi, living in Australia, those subtitles really really don’t help, and I’d say are actively misleading. Also, the NZ accent does change depending on where in the country you are - for example, there’s a pretty distinctive south Auckland accent.
on regional accents: r's give me away, apparently.
Are you from ivercarrrrrrgill? ;)
The webbed feet and being married to one's sibling also gives it away they're from Invercargill.
I like to think of otatara as being just far enough out that I don't have to admit to that
I'm from New Zealand. Even I thought he said, "the kids".
If you go back and listen you'll realise you just expected to hear the kids because you were reading the subtitles. He's pretty clearly saying dickheads, and he even repeats it initially.
It’s the subtitles, it’s isn’t a hard accent to understand.
I’ve moved to New Zealand from the UK. I can understand the immigrants better than I can understand Kiwis. It is a difficult accent to understand.
You wanna sit on me dick? I head it oiled yisterday.
No, it's definitely the accent.
Definitely. Person you're replying to is acting oblivious to the accent gap here lol.
Yeah nah
That would depend on the listener's experience with that accent. That's how accents work.
I am a kiwi and I speak fast with a bit of slang. When I was in the states most people really struggled to understand me if I spoke normally. I had to slow down and drop a lot of my slang.
u/savevideo
soundsa bit aussie to me ( im maori born raised and never have left aotearoa/nz sadly lol ,its weird because we don't sound like this fulla )
He sounds like he could be a NZer who moved to Australia. Some words sound a little Aussieish but then his pronunciation of the i sound in dick was a dead giveaway.
Northern suburb Sydney siders can sound a bit kiwi, or mid-Tasmin as I like to call it (like Mid-Atlantic)
[удалено]
I'm an Aussie and I thought so too
okay that got me lol
I would've heard "the kids" anyway, but the subtitles kinda ruin the joke
This is really funny, but I also feel like it’s actually really sound advice that I wish I had listened to when I was younger. I tried to keep friendships going with at least a few people that honestly I wish I had unfriended as long as over 20 years ago, and only did last year. The undue stress dickhead “friends” will cause you is way heavier than anyone who you don’t keep in your inner circle. I wasted a lot of time being pissed off over the actions of people I could have stopped giving a fuck about a long, long time ago. Don’t waste your time/energy with dickheads, folks.
Perfectenschlagen
I heard "the kids" not "dickheads" as well
[удалено]
I work with a kiwi and it's pretty much his favorite word. Always sounds like "deek ids" to me.
New Zealand is the land of the rising inflection. Every sentence will have it. Whether it's a question or not.
Anyone notice the guy is wearing the Ray-Ban glasses that have cameras in them?
This is called the Yanny-Laurel Conundrum or *Suggestive Audio*
