I would love more than anything to be able to mock New Zealander culture in the descriptions of my Steven Adams videos. There just would be nothing greater. I do it all the time for the Aussie players and it works out well: My friends in America get culturally enriched, and I get to have fun exchanging lighthearted banter with cunts from Australia.
The thing is, I don’t know anything about the culture of New Zealand or if any of it is funny/odd enough to mock using the “ignorant American” parody which I pull out so regularly. I can joke about sheep, and maybe reference the Lord of the Rings, but that’s it. Sheeps are cute, sure, but they aren’t a beloved central pillar of New Zealander society that would draw ire if mocked. And I bet New Zealanders don’t even have TV’s to watch LOTR on, so that’s a no-go also.
And even DTB won’t stoop so low as to mock the indigenous peoples of New Zealand. My mocking would be limited to European culture only, if only I knew any examples of it.
So, here’s a challenge for my viewers from New Zealand: tell me about the traditions and habits of your land, and I will promise to mock them from an American point of view when I next get the chance. If you have stupid slang for common items or if there’s a Kiwi-specific word you often direct at people you dislike, I want to know about it. Please. I need more material on New Zealand.
