Beatriz (Spain): This is the best video ever. I love how the kangaroo looks like the bad guy at school who always bullied everyone and finally gets what he deserves. He is so surprised, like "wtf, you are like the kid from the science club, wtf".

Guillermo (Spain): Just another day in Australia.

Victor (Russia): This is deeply disturbing, but I think it was a necessary thing to do.


Natalya (UK):
Literally exactly what I expect of Australia.

9. The most Australian interview ever.
