Fanny guy😂😂😂😂👏👏👏
Do the cassowary next, now that's terrifying.
Odd Emu, thanks for the history lesson.
Imma send this to my australian friend
Imagine if they were kangaroos instead
Glad I watched the video, I had no idea that Emus ever were a problem in Australia...
I love the thumbnail for this lol 😆
"Clever girl."
Only In Australia When Instead Of Using Animals As Clothing They Use You Ase Clothing.
I love this guy's videos, but I keep getting distracted by his accent. I used to think he was introducing himself as 'forty two'. He seems unable to pronounce 'th' and instead pronounces it as 'f' or 'v'. For example, he says 'fever' instead of feather. Instead of Meredith, he says Meredif. Instead of things, he says fings. Does anyone know where his accent comes from? It's obviously English, but from where more specifically?
All you need is a samurai sword! 🤔
This is emu-tional jokes
Yet another story telling the cruelities done by man on nature 🌿🍃 God!
Don't forget they also nuked the Emu Valley... out of spite.

Thoughty2 Arran-ged another weird topic to be emu-sed about...but we are not peckish too.
I'm guessing fences are a technology that the Australians did not discover at the time
Part 2: Rabbit army VS. Hooman army
i wish the emus has guns to shoot all those idiots away
I live in a Australia but every thing is exaggerated not everything will kill you but some things will
Can I just ask why they didn’t build fences around the crops instead?
australian army: BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS!! GET THE BOMBS!!! emus: *dont try me youll run out of amo you wussyes*
this video was emusing
Spiders the size of your head - LMAO BS. No where in Australia.
I want COD emu war
Thats because birds arent real and they are just drones
Don't have to cull all of them. Some can be recruited to sell insurance.
Too stupid to realize the value or emu meat and hides Harvesting would be a good control.
Ya gotta love it here in the land downunder
Why fight them and you can give them opium :)
They were peckish hahaha
This was very entertaining
Should have hired Americans we are great at hunting just let us bring high powered rifles. Pay us all in or just pay our way. How much bet would got job done?
Timesuck covered this
By reading some of the comment.person not Much Brain Them that Bird.
this video has beaked my interest. I'll be leaving now
Yes, we know. Please stop telling people
As an Australian, I am impressed how well you pronounced Australia. Also, the emu war is our biggest meme
We eat them now,giant chicken
It is shameful
You're making fun, but Emu are smart, fast, dangerous (yes, you read that right) birds, and in sufficient numbers, could easily disable or kill even large groups of humans.
when i read the tile i was immediately BRUH
Have to say, I'm an Aussie and have never heard about this
You're a slave to puntation.
Dont forget the extinct megelania snd land croc quincana
11:30 wtf is he writing...
We eat them now.
Is there ANY other story-teller out there who can EMUlate Thoughty?
Where are your sources? Seriously, do you expect people to take your word for it?

It happened, but it was nowhere near a war. More like 2 guys with machine guns and a Jeep
Lmao, in the end it was open season/free market that worked 😂
Crazy how we are the reason for the extinction if so many animals yet when we try to exterminate some species, we can't.
12:47 you subtracted an emu pun
All those edible creatures to hunt... and you Aussie's gave up your guns... shame Brothers, shame.
They lost against Emus and now Facebooks Zuckerberg.
I like ur videos but this one makes me mad this is not right
I think the emu had a spy in there with the humans and they didn't notice it because of the uniform and helmet that he was able to go into the armory and sabotage the Lewis guns.
Hmmmmm EMU pie & EMU burger, Yammm
Instead of farming wheat, people should have eaten those emus. Protein and fat is enough, carbs not essential for survival anyway
wars in europe: WW1 WW2 WW3 Apocalypse wars in australia:
Human is biggest animal in this world
i feel real bad for Emus
Protect the animals they said,the animals are your friends they said
Emu leader to other Emus: remember this day men. For it will be yours for all time! Aussie soldier: Emus! Lay down your weapons!
Before Avengers: infinity wars There was Aussies: Emu wars
Emus were *peckish*.... So did they peck their way and beat the Australian ex army men down? *peckish*
It be fair to us, emus are pretty much dinosaurs
The whole thing was a foul idea, it seemed they mainly tried to wing it but the that was eggaxctly to what these birds were emune.
Gov: WTF are you doing general!! General: it’s hard
War, war never changes.

This video was emusing!
9:44 Kamikazi emu made me pee a lil lol. Squish!
Man..this is quite fucked up when think about it..machine gunning a bird that has no offensive abilities because you need to cull them. how about making it a little less masochistic maybe, and introducing more of a natural predator, and let them do the trick? Just sounds like we could come up with a better system then EN MASSE machine gun bloodbath.Im sure its fun, but its fucked up for the bird. Seems like a very Nihilistic way to handle things. Whats the problem? Solution: meh..just load up the High DPS machine guns...uhhh...hmmm..U sure that's the only way?

You clearly don’t know about invasive species effects on ecosystems. Introducing a new species into the environment would just destroy it over time. Look at feral cats, dogs, foxes, cane toads and rabbits. On top of that, emus don’t have many natural predators considering they stand 5 feet high.
2:16 why hello there...* (do this in the tone of that one character from star wars to make it extremely funny)
If someone would have Air-Dropped 20 Emus into the middle of France, how long would it take for the French Military to concede defeat and summarily surrender!??
Just imagine if the bunny rabbits and Emus would have formed an alliance! The Aussies would have suffered massive losses and eventually capitulated because of the carnage and sheer horror!!
Emus are so powerful.
You could say this was a Australian civil war
Who was the bird brain here?
I'm an Ozzie and I just wanna say that in 2020 we have developed a new strategy against the Emus, but the blue and pink hair scares my men there crazy. Damned Birds if only we got the Nuclear weapons we asked for it would be finished now, but no the men are still dug in Foxholes and the rats and Roos and Poms and Irish their the worst they hold a grudge...
I .....I like Emus
History is weird.
Tom Hardy as an Emu! That's priceless!!
Hmm should have had snipers....
Its seems like since they of the bird species that they have a lot of air pockets in them unlike of other "denser" animals. Their wasn't enough meat in the bird for the fast moving bullets to do its work killing it. So in this case shot guns would've been better, maybe a "goose" gun ( 12ga with 32in barrel and full to extra full choke)to increase the range.
Emus would be jerky
This was so emutional.
"Budget Ostriches"
That lil bunny with the grenade is one of the most adorable things I have ever damn seen.
Australia could not defeat birdie group one
Oh, the good old times when people solved problems with giving more ammo to citizens, not taking their guns away...
Hilarious
An Emu's kick is so strong it can rip metal apart. So it would do a little more than just "kick your grandma to death."
The emus have large talons
"Your wheat sucks." -Rude Emu.
"Large flightless bird" *living dinosaurs
These birds make tasty burgers
Let me tell you of an interview with an old man Emu... 🤣
Australia now throws thousands of tonnes of 1080 poison baits to kill its native animals. Its Australia's dirty little secret. Google and watch what 1080 does to animals. New Zealand has thrown so much 1080 around its now detected in its honey. They tend to shoot the native animals before building the vast ponzi scheme of house building in some cases.
Emu is great real red meat that makes good jerky or even sausage but ya gota mix it with pork fat since its so lean.I lived in Kasnas in the US and they were farming them there for food.
