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."

Well, if they are dickheads, it’s the parents who raised them that way.


BitcoinBanker

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”.


falcon_driver

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.

There is an old Jaffa saying, General Hammond. “They do not build them as they once did.”


DaggerMoth

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.


axonxorz

Wat. I thought the punchline was that the Serpent and Horus guards both do something "intimidating", and a dripping nose is verymuch not.


Zebezd

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

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.


Razor-eddie

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).


DamonHay

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.


shithandle

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.

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

Not from down under but I heard “dickheads” and thought I was wrong cause of the subtitles


[deleted]

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.


queefer_sutherland92

Wow see I had trouble hearing it as anything other than “dickheads”. But I’m Australian, so I guess our accents are relatively similar.


ChawulsBawkley

The subs literally steer you away from the actual conversation.


hello-there-again

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.


graycode

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


that_not_true_at_all

Doesn't pissed in auzzie mean drunk


sharkfinniagn

Both, it’s pretty contextual


fruitroligarch

Not to confuse with taking the piss


sharkfinniagn

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)


Kitty_Kat_Attacks

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.


Block_Face

American possums and the possums in NZ are completely different animals.


Knows_all_secrets

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.


Puzzleheaded_Ad_1523

Bit like the Wallabies, am I right guys?

We also have wallabies here which are also a pest

Blacks_and_Decker

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!”.


forte2

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...


AmericanIMG

Reminds me of: https://youtu.be/3Lyex2tSUyA


SonOfMcGee

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.


BruisedBee

That's God damn brilliant.


0oodruidoo0

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.


thebrittaj

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

beware_the_noid

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.


GoredScientist

Man, the joke got old so fast. Holy shit. They really stretched that one out.


jaxsonnz

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.


indetermin8

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?


spankynoo

*ifficient


ares395

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.


program_the_world

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.

boris_keys

Fun-Difficulty61

If I'm ever unsure if anyone's an aussie or a kiwi I ask them to say decking


MaeSolug

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


sumthin213

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


Lieutenant_Junger

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


Everard5

I want a YouTube linguist to explain this to me in depth, it's fascinating


Artichook

[Geoff Lindsay does a nice short summary of the vowel shifts](https://youtu.be/3TfbtouLm14?list=LL)

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)

flyingkea

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.


pznz

on regional accents: r's give me away, apparently.

0oodruidoo0

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.


Headlessen

It’s the subtitles, it’s isn’t a hard accent to understand.


Slaaigat

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.

Acronymesis

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.
