"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Like those Simpsons episodes about culture clash in Australia, you might enjoy the 1966 movie 'They're a Weird Mob'. Full movie on Youtube: https://youtu.be/21cdcYAk2nE
By the famous Michael Powell whose biggest successes were when he teamed with Pressburger in the 1940s. (Canterbury Tales, Black Narcissus, A Matter of Life and Death...)
It hits the ground running: "Australians live downunder. Like flies on the ceiling they don't fall off". Then there's some cringeworthy gun mishandling for which I apologise, but we didn't know better, then the main story gets going.
Canterbury Tales and Matter of Life and Death are partly about Americans stationed in UK during WW2. Matter has been showing regularly on TV here lately.

I gotta admit, that guy punching the glass had good stamina.
A weak punch, lousy judgment, and no anger control. But good stamina.
And rhythm. He had rhythm.

Potatoes, what's not to love.
I loved Powell's and Pressburger's The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Always been a big fan of Roger Livesey.
Thanks, incidentally, for the movie recommendation.
