Description

This is Carl Barron's performance at the Montreal Comedy Festival in 2006.


Carl's got Australian accent but he's exageratting his accent to make it sound more different and funny.


 

Explanations

FLIP-FLOPS= Footwear similar to sandals (see picture). In Australia they're called THONGS.


THONG= A kind of minimal pantie worn by some women as underwear or as the bottom part of a bikini.


Half the video is talking about the confusion between his idea of "thongs" (flip-flops) and American's idea of "thong" (women's underwear).
