hahaha. when I was in New Zealand, everyone asked me what I was doing there, like they were shocked that I would even visit New Zealand, especially in the tiny town I was living in.
and I said that I just wanted to get to know New Zealand, I loved the culture and especially the humor.
and every New Zealander was like "what are you talking about? we're not very funny."
I explained about flight of the Conchords and eagle versus shark, and was told that those were fine, but not super funny.
New Zealand culture is so sincere and humorous, inherently.
