I had an American housemate at uni who didn't grow up in Australia and would go running through long grass on hot days. He didn't seem to understand why all the Australians thought he wanted to die of suicide by eastern brown snake.

I'm glad he mentioned drop bears. People often forget them but they're just as nasty as the snakes. Its true, my cousin once got attacked by one...

You know it’s bad when crocodiles are in the b tier

fun story about kangaroos, their nails are also pretty deadly. I had a friend who owned a farm in rural western australia, she saw a massive male kangaroo in her paddock that was causing a ruckus for her animals and decided she needed to ride back to her house to take it out with a rifle, her son (who was like 12 or something) decided that he could sneak behind and knock it over the head with a plank, she told him not to do that (obviously) and just wait here while she got her rifle, instead as you could imagine, he did it anyway, as she was coming back she saw him try to sneak up on the kangaroo, the kangaroo in a split second turned around grabbed him and was about to gut him with his claws, when her sheep dog jumped on the roo with all four legs and knocked him over, giving them both time to escape.

The moral of the story is dont mess with roo's

Fun fact: Australia has a spider season, where spiders are so numerous you can barely see the ground. Literally nightmare fuel. Somehow, Australian see this as perfectly normal.

North Americans see a platypus:
Stereotype: "Beaver go Quack"
Reality: _"Ah Perry the Platypus what an unexpected surprise. And by unexpected I mean completely expected"_

"A Tier: Telstra"
Yep, he definitely did live in Australia

[kylefrank]

This is a masterpiece.
1) I love talking about them like they're videogame bosses with super-moves
2) I adore the upside down/life subtractor joke to an absurd degree
3) I learned that Australians felt the need to call sprinkles "hundreds and thousands" like that was simpler than a single word.

You forgot a couple.
The Emu. In the 1930s Australia fought a war against Emus and lost.
The Cassowary. Kind of like an Emu with big talons that hate you and want you to die.
The Gympie Gympie. While it could be put under the tree category, it deserves a special mention. This is the most painful tree in the world. If you touch it you will be in agony for weeks or months. There is no relief, only pain.
Also, the Australian Magpie deserves a mention. If you go near their nest when they have young, they will repeatedly dive bomb you until you go away. Not lethal, but very scary.

“His favourite food is a Woolworths sausage laid diagonally on a plain white slice of bread”
Man, this guy really did live in Australia

[damdaley]

“I’m fading it in so that you don’t get scared” that is so kind and considerate, even though I’m not that scared of spiders, I appreciate that so much.

Love when he lets his old accent out here and there. The Australian accent, like the South African accent, is such a unique and pleasant thing to listen to

[MikeDep]

That spider slow fade in was somehow way more appreciated than I expected it to be

Actually when North Americans see a Platypus they say "Oh, there you are, Perry"

[Sonar]

2:38 I think my favorite part about the accent for the platypus segment is it actually takes a few seconds to fade out as you reassert a North American accent rather than being a hard cut.

[egregius]

Kinda surprised you didn't mention the gympie-gympie, the plant so painful if you touch it, and *sometimes for months*, that people have killed themselves because of it.
