Jemaine Clement had the funniest and (hopefully) the last word on that Australian breaker
Australia’s Rachael Gunn – Raygun – may not have taken a medal away from the Olympics for her breaking – or even any points, for that matter – but she’s secured her legendary status online.
Here’s why.
This is Rachael Gunn, she has a PhD in cultural movement and convinced Australia to pay for her trip to the Paris Olympics.
She participated in break dancing and got 0 points.

We’d say there are no words, but there were lots and lots of words – mostly not very flattering.

I'm starting to get obsessed with how this lady scammed the Australian government to pay for her French holiday and all she had to do is pretend to breakdance pic.twitter.com/TjCjObnxnb

We doubt there are any jokes left to make about what those moves look like, but New Zealander and comedy genius Jemaine Clement had one very funny and very different take.
I've been to Australia. That was their best dancer.

Okay, some people appreciated the burn – but maybe not Australian people.

Dont undersell us. We also have a generation that commited to memory the Nutbush City Limits dance.

Dave Capewell had a theory.
While you were in Australia it’s likely you were the best dancer.
— David Capewell (@capewell_dave) August 13, 2024
It’s probably true. Or as Australians might say – It’s probably true?
