Anyone foreigner who has ventured to Australia will, at some point, be forced to try Vegemite, which is basically a paste to put on crackers and bread. It is, to the initiated, a pretty terrible tasting food, and has been known to yield the same result as ingesting ipecac. Or, as Davey Wavey’s new native friend Mitch explains, “I told you, it’s an acquired taste.”
Now let’s count he number of metaphors you can generate from Mitch’s statement about, well, enjoying Davey Wavey.

HELP! PLEASE!
Can’t watch this or other videos without truly annoying Lysol commercials talking over the video. To tune out the Lysol commercials, I was turning the volume off; but to hear the videos, gotta turn the volume up/on.
I checked Safari preferences but could not find a switch to turn off hidden audio. Anyone? Ideas.
Thanks.

BUTTERFACE!

C’mon Queerts. You have given this chucklehead ’nuff exposure in 2009. What has he given back to Queerty? No more free publicity till he does a video full frontal………
Monsieur Wasabi
Everytime I see his videos I can’t help but ask myself, does this guy not own any clothes?
Dr.Parnassus
Again, what a moron!!! Did he choke? Did he die already? No? Oh well, back to the imaginarium.

@Monsieur Wasabi: If chucklehead had any clothes on you wouldn’t be viewing the videos to ask that question………….. : P

Mitch is so cute. If I wanted a taste of Australia I’d be sampling him instead.

This site is a porn-portal front. Look at what gets the clicks – soft porn! You’ve all been had and added to Viagra lists!

@Michael W.: Second that!

the other guy in this video is WAY hotter than Pasty-Davey-Wavey.

Why do you keep covering this guy on Queerty? Yes, he’s cute. But give it a rest. There are millions of other cute bloggers out there. And many other issues to cover. Each time I see Davey Wavey listed as a headline on your site, I get less and less inclined to want to come back to your site.

I find very little cute about some blithering bimbo attempting to provide an insightful look at Australian culture – why is Queerty dumbing down their content so much, there are plenty of sites that offer DW lookalikes (or his betters for that matter) who keep their mouths shut and their underwear off.

hey Vegemite is great stuff, I have it on hot toast with butter or cream cheese or avocado or tomato every morning, full of Vitamin B. Black yeasty salty goodness :o)

Aw, how cute, the twink can’t cope with vegemite! God only knows how he’d react to steak & kidney pie or haggis (mmmm, haggis…)
I pretty much grew up on marmite, which is like vegemite but British rather than Australian. There’s a constant battle over which one tastes better, but personally I like them both. They’re pretty good as a replacement for beef stock if you dilute them enough.
*noms marmite on toast*

Spiters are Quitters Davey!!

Queerty: i think you mean “to the UNinitiated, it is a pretty terrible tasting food.”

Davey proves that stereotypes exist for a reason, and at least six exist with him.

Vegemite is like meat without the bones….like Wavy Gravy!
JoeyB
what really is Vegemite? But, most importantly, what is a Davey Wavey?
Frank
Davey Wavey is great! thanks for promoting him. he is hilarious.
Johnny
vegemite is a yeast extract spread, really strong salty taste, delisho

@ JoeyB: Davey Wavey is this really insightful and important social commentator that we all wish would shut up and take off his pants.
Haggis!? Haggis!? I’m half Scots and haggis is the reason I won’t go to Scotland as many times as I’ve been to the UK because I have nightmares that some old aunt up there is going to tie me down and force feed it to me. Yuck !

Australians have got to stop pushing Vegemite on others or face the wrath or squirming adults behaving like children. It’s an acquired taste which most Aussie folk grew up on. It originated as an alternative to meat because it was high in protein when meat was shipped to the front line for fighting soldiers in World War 2. Putting the Vegetarian Yeast Extract on toast (sometimes with sliced cheese) or on a bagel with butter is standard fare Down Under but some people also use it as a boulion in soup or on brown rice. Warning, it’s really salty! Better Casual Australian fare are Pastries, Barbecue, Seafood and specifically Fish and Chips wrapped`to go and fun and`different candy chocolate bars and cakes. In general, their Supermarkets are healthier than in the U.S and Milk Bars are Delis or Snack Bars like 7/Eleven here. Of course, their beer is amazing and so is the Southeastern regional wines which were so cheap there from memory.
Hey, the Dutch dip their Fries in Mayonnaise!
