I'm American and I think New Zealand has so many funny people and Australia has so few.

Get it together, Aussies. EDIT: Australias population is 5x higher too? Explain yourselves!

Isn't that
I know an Australian who runs a YouTube channel called DankPods (you might've heard of it), and he's pretty damn funny.
- Also Garbage Time and The Drum Thing
  
  Don't forget "Hello, I'm Gaming"
  
  He also had a music channel called Dankmus where it's basically just remixes of Simpsons episodes. Not sure why that one is so inactive.
I'm on smoko
The country that brought us Crocodile Dundee? And Crocodile Dundee II? Not funny? You're mad.

Sure, they may not have quite as much comedy as NZ, but they can't help it if most of their national entertainment budget goes into Chris Hemsworth's delts.
- Oh that was like 40 years ago!
  
  Wooow you know what? The timeline adds up. It’s Hemsworths fault!
Look, I don't work here... and if I did... I would not sell you shit.
A lot of my favorite YouTubers are from Australia and quite funny. They're always making explosives in their shed and bitching about their thesis being due!

^Bonus points if you know the YouTube channel I am referencing.^
I saw a flat Earther say that Australians on internet are paid by NASA to make people believe in a round Earth. Australia doesn't exist 🤣

I think they're equally funny and they remind me of Canadians.

Disclaimer: As a Canadian, it could be a commonwealth thing.
- Y’all got some funny Canadians too. That Jared Keeso and his giant neck are something else
  
  I met a funny Canadian this one time: he said something about grits and snorting coke off Natalie Portman's ass.
it's the accent
Australians are already the ones being made fun of most of the time. That must count for something.
No time to be funny. They are busy trying not to be killed by something dangerous.
- I saw a picture of an Australian cow eating a snake. I'm not sure how the food chain works in Australia.
  
  Answer: If it can be eaten, it will be eaten, or envenomated while trying. That snake was full of Australian cow venom, the most potent cow venom in the world!
  
  No one is.
They put all their funny into one ~~man~~ puppet. Randy Feltface.

A whole special by him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4pkE3OFpkc
I mean look at this. Jemaine, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, the guy that did Summer Heights High with all his different characters, the Aunty Donna folks.

Who tf can compete ?
- Aunty Donna are Aussies.
  
  Oh no! Are they? Flippin Hole
- Literally every other country. Australians think Tim Minchin is funny. There's something wrong with them
- You know what- I’m stating to think there are some funny Australians after all. Sorry to hear about the racist one though
