Parody welcoming G20 delegates pokes fun at Brisbane

A hilarious parody video welcoming international G20 delegates to Brisbane has poked fun at the Queensland host city.

Comedy group Collective Noun posted the skit titled "G20 Introduction to Brisbane" overnight to spruik a side of the city that you won't be hearing from Premier Campbell Newman.

"You might be looking out your hotel window wondering, 'Is this it?' Yes," the opener reads.

"But before you judge our town, we'd like to let you know that we're actually the number one choice for retirement of women 66 to 67 years of age with family in the area. Impressed? I thought so."

Wanting to explore Brisbane? Why not hire one of the City Cycle bikes.

"Although they are four years old, they've been kept in such great condition. Look at this one, it looks like it's never been used before!" the presenter says.

Feeling adventurous? There's always Brisbane's iconic Storey Bridge.

"It's the second-best bridge climb in the country, of both available."

Then there's the Clem 7, "named after how many cars have used it", and the city's faulty WiFi services, "some of the best in the world".

The warts-and-all tour continues to divide opinion online.

One YouTube commenter cheekily described the video as: "The epitome of what Brisbanites feel about this weekend".
