Mate you need to change the title to Aussie American reacts! Your knowledge of our country is impressive and it shows that you actually care to learn about us instead of just glossing over and not learning anything like alot of other reactors. Keep up the awesome vids champ!

Yep. A perentie is a goanna. If having a big goofy, lizard going through your garbage was the worst possible thing, there wouldn't be much to worry about. But actually, the most dangerous creatures in Australia are politicians and property developers.

Basements are not common in Australia at all. The most common thing is the back yard shed! Cracks me up watching this.

The video of Butterfield reacting to that "Australia is a lie" conspiracy is comedy gold.

I love how you're correcting him about us before the Aussie does! Haha and you use our slang off the top of your head like 'doesn't he mean crocs?' 🤣

There was a news report just the other week actually where a snake was hiding behind the shelving of a supermarket and popped its head out giving the customers a scare to put it mildly haha.

Dingos are a very beautiful wild animal. They're very curious but cautious at the same time....so very proud of you to notice the errors in the original video, glad it doesn't just take an Aussie to know. Issac Butterfield is an very funny although very "in your face" , always important to remember with Issac a joke is just a joke.

The thing, as an Australian, that I'm most scared of is irukandji- those things are terrifying.

Fun fact Komodo dragons once lived in Australia Queensland to be specific. But unless this video was made 50,000 years ago it’s still wrong

We have a show down here thats very popular called Bondi Rescue, follows the lifeguards of Bondi beach during summer, and 90% of people they have to rescue are foreigners who all head for the middle of the beach where there are cleary signs saying do not swim here, dangerous currents. That part of the beach has even gotten the nickname backpackers Rip

The whole country is surrounded by sea we have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

6:34 That dingo bit he is referencing something that happened back when I was a kid. Azaria Chamberlain was a baby taken by a dingo, and her mother was convicted of her murder. Years later new evidence was discovered and she was acquitted.

Mate your knowledge on Australia is getting better and better. Keep the great reactions coming! 👍

Thanks Ian I think we have all adopted you as an honorary Aussie !!! You are awesome and Im loving your videos , and your genuine love for Australia .....

Definitely recommend looking into the infamous Chamberlain Case, which Isaac makes reference to in the video! It’s where the term “Dingo ate my baby” came from

Lol I googled Perentie. It’s our largest goanna/lizard and only found in central Australia and very shy so rarely seen

You should react to the song ‘Come To Australia - Scared Weird Little Guys’ Great song that sells our beautiful land so well 🤣🤣 Also Dingos are beautiful; I’ve actually owned multiple dingos, dingo crosses and rescued wild dingos that needed to be nursed back to health after being gored by wild pigs or kangaroos. Very intelligent and loving animals.

To be fair - the “stinging brush” is a bush called Gympie Gympie and grows in far north Qld. People have been known to shoot themselves and horses jump off cliffs to try and escape the pain. It does only grow in a tiny area but it is a serious thing

I’ve lived in Australia my whole life and I have seen 2 emus, no cassowaries and no venomous snakes, never been caught in a rip, seen like 3 dingos and they got spooked and left instantly, no fire ants, never seen a crocodile, and have never seen a Komodo dragon

Love the way you defend us Ian. We definitely need to make you an honorary Aussie. As you are getting our lingo correct and love Bathurst races

ROFLMAO at the cassowary comments 😂 The idea that anyone would avoid coming to Australia because of a bird they'll never see is just ridiculous 😂 I'm glad you seem to appreciate our sense of humour and the redoubtable Isaac Butterfield 😊

Yeww Newcastle represents aha love watching Isaac he's a legend around these parts

If you’re interested in the danger of dingos, research “Dingo ate my baby”. It’s the example he was talking about, but if you’re beyond toddler age you’re probably safe from dingos. They’re more afraid of us than we are of them.

In Newcastle NSW, we love the Buttsmaarn. He is our voice of the people. When you are able to travel here, we will more than accommodate you for the genuine Aussie experience. Peace!

I'm Aussie, and that was fuckn hilarious, and yeah I was waiting for him to mention the drop bears.

The cassowary in a rip, that's the one you've gotta watch out for, it's Australia's biggest killer.

@IWrocker Considering how many places here are in flood zones, you'd be hard pressed to find a house with a basement. About half the houses you'll find here are up on stilts, some of which have had walls added so they can use the ground floor under the house. As for Fire Ants... they're not even native, they're an introduced pest that we're still trying to get rid of. We have signs along some highways and other roads instructing us to help stop their spread. (fun story, I'm an assistant surveyor, and on one job I was asked to go uncover a survey mark, in this case an iron pin 200mm under the ground between 2 wooden stakes; when I got there there was a mound of dirt between the stakes over the mark so I started digging with a shovel... turns out it was a Fire Ant nest... we called it in for the experts to deal with and they found at least 5 other mounds linked to it within a 500m radius of it. Fair to say we weren't able to use that mark for our survey station). Stinging Brush... Ok, I think he's talking about the Gympie Gympie plant, related to the stinging nettle and holds the world record for the most painful plant. Every part of the plant has thousands of tiny hypodermic needles that can break off and keep stinging you. There's a couple of varieties and the "nicer" ones only keep stinging for an hour or so, while the worse ones can cause reoccurring pain years later... If you're lucky there'll be some parts still above your skin so some strong sticky tape or similar tape, or even waxing strips, could pull them out. 2 main crocs here. Freshwater crocs, which live in freshwater and are the nicer ones.. and the salties.... who live in both salt and fresh water and are the more territorial ones.. And you've probably already learnt this, but what we call thongs, I think you call "flip-flops".

Coming from an Aussie, there are some really funny videos called How To Talk Australians done by a bunch of Indians. They're teaching each other Aussie culture but really taking the piss out of it 🤣.

Thanks for sticking up for us mate!

I've seen a Cassowary, sadly in a small enclosure in Cairns at the bird sanctuary in Koranda, NE Queensland, yes they are only in the top end of QLD and Papua New Guinea. very rare. The thing on their head is not a weapon like a horn like most assume, it is actually very soft and is for hearing.

Stinging brush is the Gympie plant.... "The sting can cause excruciating, debilitating pain for months; people have variously described it as feeling like they are being burned by acid, electrocuted, or squashed by giant hands."

You can tell the difference between Crocs and Alligators if you see one later or after a while.

Hahaha I love The Buttsmarn he's a legend and like a true Aussie he swears like a wharfie always worth a watch, good onya Ian

The irony of the Buttsman saying the #1 reason Australia is awesome is because we make accurate lists, while stuffing up his list...looool!

On my behalf, I would not deny one of these "facts", with the side effect of only the clever people moving into my country. I'm jalous, Australia, for your sharks, spiders, Oceans, jellyfish, desert, fires and you name it. Stay as you are! Greetings from Europe.

Ah perenties/monitors do exist in Australia. Granted out in the outback, they are big and slightly intimidating when you come across one by accident. I used to work in oil and gas and you would find them hanging out by the Compressors.

Finally, an American that gets Australian culture Sincerly, A Australian

Wow, most other people im against when they react cause they just do stereotypes but u actually r basicaaly an Aussie!! Thank u for being u!!😊😊

Love it, sitting back having a beer watching this. Big love from Aus.🇦🇺👍

Mate you've seen more crazy Australian stuff than us sensible aussie's cheers.

I love how you picked up the whole alligator/crock thing in the video before he did. You truly are an Aussy

Isaac Butterfield is a bloody legend. Real Aussies like him that are honest is hard to come by.

Haha "this bird is totally UNPREDICTABLE because it ALWAYS attacks first". When something ALWAYS happens and you STILL can't predict it... hilarious!

Gday from Melbourne IW, loving ur channel. Ur starting to sound like a true Aussie. Hope u and the fam are keeping safe 😁👍👍🇦🇺

Love the Buttsmarn 👍 Aussie sense of humour at its finest right there 🇦🇺

signed in just to say this. you might have done the best job representing our culture than any other non-Australian has. Genuinely appreciate the effort that's gone into learning it means a lot. Love your vids and i hope your success grows exponentially. t c

Hahaha great video for your reactions 🤣 So glad you know more about our great country than the person that made the the video Isaac is reacting too! Secondly I about a year ago I did a little research on basements, and it turns out they are usually only found in colder climates. Reasons being to lower the foundation of the house/building to below the freezing point of the ground.

"the stinging brush" is actually called the suicide plant and it is incredibly painful so much so that once a horse was stung by one and it ended up throwing itself off a cliff

I feel like the sun point actually has some merit, we have the highest rate of melanoma (skin cancer) in the world due to a few factors like our proximity to the equator, and the fact that earth is closer to the sun when we have our summer. My own father was lucky to survive melanoma.

You're a bloody legend mate!! Never met a fellow Aussie with a basement!

The comment about snakes in the middle of a supermarket actually happened in my local Woolies a few weeks ago. (Wollies is a big grocery type store here in AUS.) They found it chilling in the middle of a canned food isle, however, it was only a diamond python and was taken away quickly.

I really enjoy your content thanks for not being racist and anything else you are fun kind and respectful as an Aussie I respect you

Ok I'm going to let you all in on a little secret... cassowaries are scared of anything taller than itself. I used to play in the forest with an umbrella (unfold umbrella and hold over your head), never saw them but I did hear them which is absolutely terrifying 😳

Loved this one Ian, so, so funny 😆. Ian, you have a great grasp of Australian culture now, mate….

15 minute drive from me, there's a wildlife park called Urimbirra. Was there 2 weeks ago with family. They have 2 cassowaries and at one point I turn around and see my father in-law hand feeding one, I was like, WTF!!

Amazed about the things you know about Australia. Good on ya!

Ha ha ha…. I’m an Aussie, he’s hilarious and that would have to be the dumbest list ever.

I’ll do a livestream among a mob of cassowaries and show you how harmless they are Ian.

Isaac is a stand up comedian and Ned Kelly cosplayer. He's a very funny guy who swears even more than Gordon Ramsey. Isaac is totally correct about the items on that idiotic list ! Australia basically doesn't have ANY basements. Primarily because the ground everywhere is insanely rocky and incredibly expensive to excavate.

Dingos are an amazing animal. I was adopted a dog from a family out in Beaudesert, QLD and they told me he was a Boxer cross Bull Arab. Turns out with a blood test done he was 98% dingo, 1% corgi and 1% English bull mastiff. The most loyal dog I have ever had in my life.

Perenties are our largest lizards. Goannas to most people. They can get up to around 8ft. But will run from humans unless cornered. Nowhere near as dangerous as a Komodo Dragon

Dingos are not that bad at all really misunderstood. They are more smart then a standed dog but they are not dogs there decedents of the asian grey wolf that have adapted too Australian conditions. They are also our top apex predator that is more in touch with the land then most animals hear. I would definitely suggest looking them up and doing some research on them. I have one as a pet and he is the most loving boy ever.

Yes, excluding Zoos, Cassowary’s are only found in a relatively small rainforest in Queensland

My darling DIL is English. The family stayed over Easter. She screamed when she saw a spider, then ran when a snake slithered on the path to the beach. Hilarious!! We just take it as a daily occurrence. 🤣🤣

Give this man his citizenship already! 🙏🏻❤️

Isaac Butterfield is hilarious I follow his channel

I actually thought it was quite an accurate video.... We DO in fact swear as much as the Butts-marn does. :P Props for knowing so much about Australia, mate. Good on ya!

I always watch Issac he’s so good to watch .. so proud he’s a Aussie 🥰🇦🇺

Isaac is a standup comedian, and awesome!

Viewers react to American reacts to Aussie reacts to 10 reasons NOT to visit Australia :

Dingoes are about the size of a medium dog. They're also very timid and reasonably rare. Dingoes are nothing to worry about.

Last time I went camping there were about 4 dingos wandering around the campsite randomly. The were mostly just waiting for people to leave so they could look for food at the campsites. Don't mess with them and don't leave young kids around them and you'll be right. When they got too close to our camp we would stand up and make a noise and they would run off. One would sleep on the other side of one of our cars during the night. Probably like 10 metres from the tents.

This guys an Aussie Legend! Another great vid he has is his comparison of Australia and New Zealand. That video offended the entire NZ population!

The Buttsman... Moist!

...can I just point out that two of the main bits of footage used for snakes were: 1) an Anaconda (which are native to South America) 2) from a James Bond movie *slow clap*

My experience with dingo working in the Pilbara they are pretty chill. I have photos of them laying on the grass outside my room just like a pet dog would, i did get warned when a pack with pups came by me but simply growled at to go away not attacked. They're very intelligent, working in groups to open bins so they could get food out hence the bins had latches or where put in cages.

I came across this video not being reacted to and laughed flat out at there stupid top ten its hilarious. Im more scared of getting stabbed by a crackhead than the animals 🤣😂

Oh god I was hoping you'd find issacs videos lmao. He's hilarious.

I live in Australia...we rarely see ants, spiders and never see dingoes, plus we have 10,000 miles of beautiful beaches etc etc...

See, the thing about the Cassowaries is that that small area they live in in North QLD is one of the place you definitely do want to visit. The Daintree Rainforest (and Far North QLD in general) is amazing and well worth the visit (you should check it out if you haven't already) but yeah, it's also filled with crocs and cassowaries Also, to be fair to the list video, that "stinging bush" mentioned in there is also found in Far Nth Qld, it's called the Gympie Gympie. Another thing you should check out if you haven't already. It's probably worse than the spiders and snakes. It causes unbearable pain, apparently like being stabbed by red hot needles which can last a lifetime.

"I'm surprised Vegemite isn't on there." As an Australian, I keep needing to apologise to the world that vegemite exists. I'm so sorry!

Isaac is very funny. Basement? I’ve never even seen a basement in an Australian home. Alligators? In Australia?

8:40 Stinging Brush? lt's called Gympie-Gympie. When l was in the Army in the 80's , a mate in 1RAR in Townsville, Queensland, told me that one night, during an exercise in Cape York, a soldier went into the scrub to ..... empty his bowels, and squatted on a Gympie-Gympie bush in the dark. He was stung in the nether regions. He was screaming all night until they could get him on a chopper and evacuate him in the morning.

My father and I were out In a boat he built in the 70s. We decided to camp on Fraser Island for the night. I woke up at some stage, with about a dozen Dingoes laying around sharing our fire for warmth. Two of them huddled up close to me, like pets. So I guess they have their good and bad stages. Dad didn't seem worried about them and told me to just go back to sleep.

Issac Butterfield has a Pet hate for Cyclists and Vegans. Watch more of his videos. Issac for Prime Minister of Oz

I might do a “Kiwi reacts to Yank reacts to Aussie reacts to why you shouldn’t visit Oz.”

I used to work in a supermarket in a small country town and during summer we would regularly get snakes in the shop which was kinda annoying but cool at the same time.

Mate I class u as an Australian!! U have more knowledge of Australia then a good portion of Australia! I welcome you to your 2nd home! On another note that was a hilarious vid first time seeing his vid also

Can u do a Aussie food reaction

Watch more of the buttsman he is funny as.

FYI ....The freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnstoni or Crocodylus johnsoni; see below), also known as the Australian freshwater crocodile, Johnstone's crocodile or also known as freshie, is a species of crocodile endemic to the northern regions of Australia.

Issac is a national treasure. The bloke is a legend. I'd love to see you react to his most offensive stand up jokes video.

after living in aus for more years than i care to admit too publically, and being a very out doorsey type, I can tell you that I have a) never seen a cass outside a zoo, 2) seen every one of australias dangerous snakes and spiders in person, but am still 100% alive and never been stupid enough to be bitten, 3) been within 10 feet of wild crocs (but obviously in a boat!), 4) swum on one of the horrible beaches australia seems to have thousands of and never got into a rip, 5) been within spitting distance of wild dingoes and they didnt take my baby, 6) walked around stinging nettles and plants...and they didnt even jump out to get me, and 7) despite travelling the world end to end, have always refused to go to the UK where they seem to make lists of things that dont exist. Goodonya Ian for becoming a sub-aussie with your knowledge and terms. keep up the good work! (look up "Azaria Chamberlain" to get an idea of what we are talking about with dingos)

There are actually Perentie lizards in Australia but won't hurt you. I camp in a place called 'beehive point ' in NSW and they wonder through the camp and while fishing. Actually have videos and pics if you wanna see them. Anyway mate, love ya videos and think you and the family would love visiting Australia 👍

This was excellent! Great laughs. Cheers, from Adelaide, South Australia

Isaac cracks me up. Fire ants are an introduced species and in isolated areas. Swim between the flags. You crack me up, good Aussie knowledge Ian. Deadly ( cool ) video.

LOL..."Jinx" ( I laughed) we say that too..!!!

As soon as you said that you thought Cassowaries were only in one region in the whole country, I was impressed! If anybody actually wants to try to see one in the wild, go to Etty Bay, north QLD. A beautiful spot where the rainforest meets the ocean. Known for cassowary sightings. There is a small caravan park on the beach, and we saw one walking around the caravan park, and another one walking along the beach. Be safe, of course!

Before moving to Victoria i used to volunteer at Sydney fox and dingo rescue. We used to raise orphan dingo pups and rehabilitate surrendered adult dingos. They can be somewhat dangerous in the wild but once used to humans they are similar to regular dogs, they used to come to the beach or go for walks in Sydney with us all the time

I like how this guy isn't clueless and believes everything excellent video you earned a sub 🖤
