Elnavann,
I must agree with you. I am tired of all the stereotypical remarks about all Americans. If anyone’s has ever truly traveled across the states, they would understand that everything from the majority genre of music to even the food are completly different when comparing states and even cities in the U.S.
Americans can even be heard wondering and stereotyping people from states other than theirs. For example, people in Georgia think people in California are all wealthy, famous, while California people think Georgia as being filled with rednecks and guns. It is all because of the cultural shifts you find when traveling to different states. Your other point is right as well, it really is like the U.S is made up of different countries…

Hi, I loved the article. It was really quite enjoyable. However, being an Australian and having a natural desire to prove you wrong, I noticed that you said Amazon doesn\’t exist in Australia? Being the proud owner of a Kindle, I think you\’ll find you\’re wrong.

Kind Regards anyway,
Liam.

Aussies don’t really attune to sitcoms the way America does. We have comedic satire that’s more rampant than most. It’s our cultural medium compared to America and sitcoms. Housos, chasers war or anything on abc and sbs!

All these people talking about how bad aussie sitcoms are why don\’t you ask yourself \”why\”? They are so bad because Australia doesn\’t produce many sitcoms. I doubt you could name 5.

On the other hand we produce decent comedy shows such as angry boys. summer heights high, spicks and specs, we can be heroes, the footy show (both nrl and afl are funny)… There is so many.

Sitcoms are an american/british thing imo. Australia never got on the bad wagon and I\’m thankful for that.

Britain wins that one hands down tho.. seinfeild and all those can never match monty python.

Always amusing to criticise the Americans – must say, when I visited the US I realised that their states and cities are so varied that you might as well be in different countries. I found the people very warm and helpful, much different than the touristy stereotypes you come across outside of US

Enjoyed the article

Don’t forget that Americans are hugely stupid. Their education is just HORRIBLE.

Very funny (and informative) article! I’ve never been outside the US, but I love hearing how our country measures up against others. Thanks!

I think both countries are equal, there are differences yes, but we share a lot which is nice! I’m an American, I love my country, though I would like to live in Australia or Canada if I were older and could afford it!

@Jimbob – pretty sure he’s a troll, don’t let it bother you. Also, I’d give Australia the win just for the term ’seppo’ – greatest stealth insult ever.

Btw, I don’t think I could name a single Aussie sitcom. Australian comedy in general isn’t much good, though our stand-ups aren’t bad.
