The Great Australian Commentator of Death.

By: chris | December 15th, 2009

How often have we heard this happen? Once a weekend? The commentator, not knowing the magical powers he (or she) wields, stammers on endlessly about the brilliance of something, someone, and only succeeds in tempting the fates into providing us with the precise opposite. Even fans without superstitions have been guilty of firing objects across the room when the commentator shouts in the 80th, “as ______ take the three points today”.

If you ever hear this commentator come onto your feed, bolt to the nearest church and start striking matches furiously – it can’t possibly go well.

Wow that is some terrible football being played there. I had no idea the A league was that bad

I agree, Americans and Canadians do sound pretty similar. Especially if you're not used to hearing either. Also, isn't there an entire Flight of the Conchords episode about people thinking the two guys were Australian?

The real tragedy here is the "Kiwi Commentator" alliteration that Chris missed out on typing into the headline.

Canadians do sound the same as Americans. What are you talking aboot?

Get your damn facts straight before posting such a ridiculous article. Both the commentators in that clip are from New Zealand, they are not Australian. Saying Aussies speak the same as Kiwis is pretty much like saying Canadians sound the same as Americans, or everyone from England has the same accent.
