I died when the second guy just got up and walked before they'd decided if he could or not 🤣🤣

[SimplySpace]

As a New Zealander, it's harder to enjoy them because they just sound normal

[loulie]

I love how sweet Helena was to the guy telling the story, I wish more guests were that gracious

[Iason]

The paramedic's story is the best story I've heard on this show

[skippyoz]

The first story was so good. I don’t know why they couldn’t understand. Don’t worry kiwi’s us Aussie get you.

When I was 10, my parents took me to a small farmer's sale. We were going to a small farmers sale and we took the Ute there. Dad was looking for some animals and things to take home to our farm. And so anyway, him and mum spotted this little dining room table, and I was just wandering around in my jandals, and you know, just checking out the stuff. Mum and dad spotted this table and chairs, that they thought that's gonna be perfect in the dining room. We put it on the back of the Ute, and we go home, and us boys are sitting (me and my two brothers) are sitting up on the back of the Ute, in the chairs, in the dining room chairs. Dad thinks it'd be a good idea "Oh I know what we'll do, do you boys want some ice-cream out the back?" ya know. So we're like "yeah absolutely, we'll have ice-cream". Next thing you know, we're all sitting there, licking our ice-creams, sitting on the back. Dad decides (seeing a bit of Formula 1) he'd like to take the corner probably a bit quicker than he should have. Me on my chair ... bang fall down on the road

New Zealanders are probably some of the most adventurous care free people on earth so it's quite normal that they have the best stories to tell haha

"Are you from New Zealand? " Yis. :-) Love and miss that accent.

I love how sweet Helena Is so sweet IRL that even after he had finished telling a story of her dancing around and singing naked she was trying to make it so he didn't get flipped... She played an amazing Bellatrix I think... and tbh I have only ever seen her in other roles where she has been an antagonist so it was kinda awesome to see he be such a genuinely nice person.

That lawnmower story is the most kiwi thing I've ever heard lol

[EchoBravo]

the dog poo story is really just brilliant.

[libby]

seeing chadwick here after the recent news is really sad ):

About 10 years ago I was in the Waikato Hospital (in New Zealand) with a family member. The nurse that was attending to us was very busy with another patient. That patient had just cut off multiple fingers by picking up his lawnmower to cut his hedge. I wonder if this is the same story.

For somebody who was born in NZ, thank you for this tribute compilation. NZ Red Chair stories aren't always enjoyable to watch, because I too, thought it was normal than the rest. However, somehow our stories get walk offs, only because they're told in a way only Kiwi's could understand them. It's weird and super mental, other countries think we sound like sheep, when we do not. We just have alot of Mixed Nationalities in our country.

He was wearing her late husbands pants and her late husband 😂😂😂😂

"New Zealand must be empty, they are all queueing for the red chair" 🤣😂

I was talking to my Kiwi friend once, and he told me he had to “pick up his beard”, I nod as if I thought this was a normal thing, and then about halfway through the conversation I exclaimed “Oh, bed! You went to pick up your bed!”
