Apparently no election is safe from baseless accusations, mudslinging and questions of voter fraud. The annual election for "Bird of the Year" in New Zealand had a dramatic year and frankly it's refreshing to see people be this hilariously petty over the decision of the best bird. For some other New Zealand drama, here's the time the whole nation was outraged at a single rude family of British tourists. Here are some more random funny tumblr gems to tumblr through.

The New Zealand Police are clearly the coolest police force around. These guys keep it hip with the fun wordplay and cheesy jokes on social media. 

This vacationing couple's expedition up what he's called the world's steepest street, is brimming with hysterical hyperventilating and fitful punches of wife fury. Considering the context he provided; it sounds like the journey was destined for this kind of climactic fallout. Dude, she doesn't like heights. You proceed to ascend a terribly steep hill? This is what happens. This TIFU story is entirely the husband's fault, and he knows it. 

Members of a certain British family have been classified as "worse than pigs," and they're in the process of being deported as we speak. The nation of New Zealand had enough. You don't dirty their beaches with reckless abandon. Auckland Mayor, Phil Goff, was quoted during his rage-riddled rant on a radio station, saying, "these guys are trash. They are leeches."

New Zealand's assistant general manager of immigration, Peter Devoy, provided the unsettled nation with the update they sorely needed to hear; and announced that they'd been issued a deportation notice on the grounds of "matters related to character." 

He was NOT ready for New Zealand's candy experience. 

Some of these are straight up bloodthirsty wild bloodthirsty lion-level savage. 

We've all been there, right? Do you, seal.
