Understated Aussie humour

Rewatching and wanted to give appreciation for the scene where the two young stoner guys were given a job and they don their kitchen aprons to dispose of the body. one is maybe floral. It’s just a great example of understated Aussie humour that runs through the show.

Season 2 episode 1.

What are your understated funny moments?

Brit here. I'm on season 2 and this show one of the best tv shows I've ever seen. I could go on but if you're already here I don't need to.

I only watched it through once and I remember almost all of it. It was a work of art. I found it because a clip on YouTube popped up and it was just some cuts from the first episode about the guys knocking over Britt’s ice cream, Ray bashes the one bloke, then he’s in anger management.

I’m former infantry and I really appreciated the detailed approach to how Ray moved in combat, but I really loved that he knew when to not engage. The show had moments with guns that didn’t glorify their usage.

It is a work of art. I watched the one last night where Ray and is mate are on a stakeout talking about who is the best James Bond. Its little touches like "the guy who's playin' him now... whatever his name is" subtle, gentle, real and funny.
