As an Aussie I will say this, an ad played on American TV 30-40 years ago does not reflect Australian culture.
We don't eat shrimp, we eat prawns (it was changed to shrimp in the ad to avoid confusing Americans, which is a bit ironic).
Barbie is the shortened word for barbeque in Australia, but we don't even cook prawns on the barbie, we either boil them or fry them on a pan.
This has been a PSA from an Aussie who has heard Americans making this dumb boomer-esque joke for their whole life; please come up with fresh ways to dunk on us, that way we can both laugh.
That said the picture is pretty funny.
I'm not gonna listen to a PSA about a country that offers thongs and bottled water out of the same vending machine!
note for my fellow americans: thongs = flip flops.
Prawns? But those are the bald guys in chest. Why are you eating them?
Now now. No need to be rude. We don't actually think you do that.
We DO however think you lost a national war against a flock of emus, when you had guns.
Love the emu wars, but calling it a "national war" is a bit of a stretch. It was 3 blokes with 2 guns between them, an "incompetent war" is a better descriptor lol.
Had enough ammo to build a house out of it
We call a rifle a rifle here,
Because we actually understand them and we don't think they make our dicks magically bigger

Yeah we love to heart logical definitional explanations and such. Thanks
We had a very real effort to officially change the currency to the "dollarydoo"
I hope to see it happen in my lifetime
I'm not even Australian and I support this.
Funnier names for all funny money!
NOINE HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS?
We joke, but we're actually jealous that Aussies have elected representatives that listen to them.
Kid loves Bluey and my wife and I have started calling money dollarbucks. It's fun!
I normally like living in the land of euros but Bluey makes me wish I could use the term dollarbucks instead.
And now I've got Adam Buxton's sushi song in my head, cheers
Another.
Those are prawn not shrimp
They're the same thing. There's no real distinction.
Writing in 1980, L. B. Holthuis noted that the terms prawn and shrimp were used inconsistently "even within a single region", generalising that larger species fished commercially were generally called shrimp in the United States, and prawns in other English-speaking countries, although not without exceptions.[7]
And yet any Aussie can tell you they are shrimp.
Prawns, cunt
Yeah, nah.
You're PM of Australia now. No takebacks.
Strange plastic women laying around distributing shrimp is no basis for a system of government.

Is Barbie the source of Mar-a-lago Face or Is it the other way around?
I think it's more an expression of being wealthy enough for plastic surgery as the world is in decay rather than anything else.
It's a show of financial (and hence social) status, their version of claiming they have fuck you money.
