Well here is a taste of the New Zealand accent.
Yes, they really do pronounce 'deck' like that.

Those out-takes at the end make reference to a squirrel being on the guy's deck. Firstly, I never ever saw a squirrel in New Zealand. As far as I know, New Zealand does not have squirrels. But squirrels are more well-known to the rest of the world (at least those in North America). If he said, "Hey, get that pukeko off my deck" there would be alot of head scratching and much of the humour might have been lost.
