  • 0:03 - 0:06
    Here with a pitch for Americans
    to move to Australia
  • 0:06 - 0:08
    are Bridgette and Paula Powers,
  • 0:08 - 0:11
    those Australian twins
    who talk in unison on the news.
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    -[ Together ] G'day, Colin.
  • 0:17 - 0:22
    It's so nice to be here
    in New York City.
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    -[ Laughs ] Yeah, so --
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    so why should Americans move
    to Australia?
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    -Australia is
    a gorgeous island nation,
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    and we have more Hemsworth
    than people.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    [ Laughing ]
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    That's a joke.
    Don't write that down.
  • 0:41 - 0:43
    -I wasn't going to.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    So you two
    are basically the same person?
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    -No, we're totally different
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    because her favorite food is
    Vegemite,
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    and I only date Black guys.
  • 0:54 - 0:56
    [ Laughter ]
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    -Wait, sorry.
    Who likes Vegemite?
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    -Her.
  • 1:00 - 1:01
    -And who only dates
    Black guys?
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    -I do!
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    -All right, well,
    I've learned nothing.
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    Can I ask, why do you talk
    at the same time?
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    -Well, we're very connected
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    because we were born
    at the exact same time.
  • 1:16 - 1:21
    The doctor was like, "Uh-oh,
    they're coming out together."
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    And our mum was like,
    "Get them out of me!"
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    And the man at the vending
    machine was like,
  • 1:29 - 1:30
    "Hmm.
  • 1:31 - 1:35
    I think I want Doritos.
  • 1:35 - 1:40
    But Doritos give me gas...
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    -...in my --
    -[ Imitates fart ]
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    -[ Imitates fart ]
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    [ Laughter ]
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    -Okay. I guess now I just want
    to kind of test this out.
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    Say the first word
    that comes to your mind.
  • 1:52 - 1:55
    -Colostomy.
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    -Okay. Three -- three dream
    dinner-party guests.
  • 1:59 - 2:02
    -Harry Potter, Nelly Furtado,
  • 2:02 - 2:06
    Ginny Weasley.
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    -So two "Harry Potter"
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    characters and the woman
    who sang "I'm Like a Bird."
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    -Dream blunt rotation.
  • 2:14 - 2:19
    That's a joke.
    Don't write that down.
  • 2:19 - 2:21
    -Pencil is nowhere
    near the paper.
  • 2:21 - 2:24
    [ Laughter ]
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    I'm not writing
    any of this down.
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    Yeah. What's going on?
  • 2:27 - 2:30
    -Look, Colin, the point is,
  • 2:30 - 2:34
    American should
    be stoked to move to Australia.
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    They're so similar.
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    They're even basically
    spelled the same.
  • 2:41 - 2:46
    A. O. R.
  • 2:46 - 2:48
    Me-me. P.
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    -Okay. You guys...
    -Q. R.
  • 2:51 - 2:52
    -You're just saying letters.
    -L.
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    -You're just saying letters.
    -T. L.
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    -You're not spelling anything.
    I think that you need to go.
  • 2:58 - 3:01
    -Wait, wait, Colin! Wait!
    -What?
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    -You haven't even met
    our brother, Liam.
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    -You have a brother?
  • 3:06 - 3:09
    -[ Together] Wow!
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    We love "SNL."
  • 3:11 - 3:15
    You know, in Australia,
    our "SNL"
  • 3:15 - 3:18
    is called an "LNS."
  • 3:18 - 3:19
    -That cannot be true.
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    -Yes, it is.
  • 3:22 - 3:29
    It stands for
    "Late Night from Sydney."
  • 3:29 - 3:35
    [ Speaking indistinctly ]
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    So now...
  • 3:38 - 3:42
    live from this toilet, it's...
  • 3:42 - 3:44
    [ Growling ]
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    -Really good, you guys.
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    From your accents, I can't tell
    which part of Australia
  • 3:48 - 3:50
    Liam is from.
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    The Australian triplets,
    everyone!
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    -Bye!
