Apparently

"Self-depreciation is a staple of Australian humour. They’ll call themselves all kinds of names, tell embarrassing stories and even act out impressions of their own worst selves. Australians are wary of ‘showing off’ and so this self-depreciation is a tactic to disarm others and prove that we don’t think a lot of ourselves.

Don’t be fooled, though. Just because they have a tendency to mock themselves, doesn’t mean that Australians actually think little of themselves. It’s simply a way of letting people know that they don’t think they’re extra special and that everyone is on the same level."

That's not far wrong.

That actually explains a lot. I'm a big fan of Australians, and people who are able to poke fun at themselves. Humourless narcissists should be put to the sword.

Being able to laugh at the absurdity of crying to Dixie Chicks is one of the best things about you. Respect. (but not for the initial crying)

Self deprecation is all old southern tactic of survival in a world controlled by our arrogant yankee oppressors. We play the Mark Twain/"simple country lawyer" routine to get them to let their guard down.
