As a german (unbiased as aussies go) that has drunk with all kinds of nationalities I think I can safely say, that I also would like a slightly hungover Aussie to be our negotiator against an alien invasion. I think, Australia itself probably tries to kill each and every human being living in it. So all the Aussies that make it won’t be phased by anything (extraterrestrial) life throws at them. That and a weird penchant for swearing are the two most endearing qualities Australia nurtures in it’s people. And that’s basically all you can ask for, if negotiating with the Martian invaders.

(The dad didn't actually need help, his son was fine, so Tom didn't help, only sassing him when the guy rolls his eyes.) Theres been so many times I've been willing to help people because its the right thing to do, but if they start getting snappy, I immediately want to drop everything and leave. Of course, I usually don't, but I so badly want to. Working in retail kinda trains you to grin and bear any abuse you get sadly.

Reminds me of the worlds end!

I love the fact that it's pretty obvious that Tom wrote a song about an actual encounter in a supermarket, realised it was a freakin' bangin' tune so he had to keep it going, and rode the premise so hard it literally escaped earth's gravity and became interplanetary. ...and now I need to listen to beastie boys

4:35 Alien: "GIVE US YOUR PLANET.....also context?"

Tom's ability to diversify his bird flipping actions to always take you by surprise is a talent I wish I possessed.

As a retail employee: We all want to say all of this all the time, and we DO work here. Thank you.

What I love about this song is that at first glance it seems to be structured in a predictable pattern, but every chorus something changes. Everything sounds similar, but it always changes.

I know the songs are good, but I’m really really actually enjoying his acting skills, with so little props he does an awesome job at portraying lots of characters. It’s so pleasing to watch and it’s really makes it funnier and better 😂

This whole thing is joyously catchy, and something about the rhythm of 'walking on the hot sands at Bondi Beach' makes me so happy

The "fuck" at the end of the melodica solo just makes this song for me. The fact that he made the mistake and still managed to seamlessly weave it into the song is just *chefs kiss*

I don't think it's a mistake, he needs that low note (and knows where it is in the scale because you can see the thumb going for it but missing) but the melodica doesn't have it - so theoretically the cursing is against the melodica octaves

1:10 "ya fool" had so much Australian energy I felt like I got punched by a kangaroo

my personal favourite highlights: 1:16 "silly me, i've had the pasta all along (fuck you)" 1:46 the look on his face as he sings "my foresight readies me for melee" 2:17 readying himself to piss on a man by chugging water and eating some conveniently there asparagus 3:54 he's prepared to take responsibility for the whole of earth and to try to be diplomatic with these aliens, but then one mimes calling him a jackoff and he loses his shit at them and finally, the cherry on top, 4:24 "do you think the president of earth has a fuckin' mullet?"
