where the fuck. I watched a couple on TV nice find. Ignorance is fnny to watch.

quality is quite poor though.


vcd not even oOo:

I downloaded them and then uploaded them to my site. Thats the best quality I could find. I actually found the whole thing which I am currently downloading, but its a little too big to fit on the 10mb Shaw gives me. Like 450mb too big.

And I don't want to start a flame war. Their just there for entertainment purposes.

why start a flame war ?

yeah-they are pretty funny eh??

Even though I don't aprove of the America bashing, I will admit they were kinda funny...but you know those were edited like a bitch to make it look like we're all idiots down here.

Good ol twenty two minutes, now if you will excuse me theres a moose outside my window, im gonna go get my snowshoes on and pelt him with timbits.

the BEST! ALL TIME BEST is when Rick goes to the guy

"Did you hear prime minister Tim Horton got a double double" TO GOOD!

Jay Walking is better

I like the one where they go to chicago and say that canada is changing there name to chicago. they are like "they cant have that, thats our name!" GOLD.

smells like bullshit, its made for tv, its not real

Your not helping.



-Congradulations Canada on Legalizing Staplers !!!! GOLD!!!

lol, and the oh-so classic, "i vow to never call a canadian an oompaloompa"

Where did you get the 450meg video and what is it called? I gots to get me
some of diss....

A place called kazaa lite. Took a while to find it, and it took a while to download, but it got up to 150kb/sec. Its not DVD quality, but its a shit load better than those videos.

I downloaded them all , the Bush one was chopped up and I couldn't see it but the rest came in fine.

I didn't think they were all that funny. Not because they had stupid people anwsering questions , or because they were Americans. It just didn't strike me.
I was pretty damned amazed these people fell for some of that though.

Perticulary , VCRs and staplers being banned , the electricity in Parlament , and of corse the whole igloo thing.

its because they were paid to say it...idiots

The best is when Mercer asks a lady how many states canada has
The lady has no fucking clue and just guesses. Then the next thing you know, her son pops up and says "Wait a second mom, Canada doesnt have states it has provinces!"
Stupid bitch.

ever watch jay leno? he does a segment called jay-walking, basically the same thing...

oh, and both these and the leno segments are barely funny. sleeping:

yeah i was about to make that post. its the same thing, they get a bunch of yahoos on the street and ask them questions that i bet jay wouldnt even know the answers to. i dont see the funny in this, im sure canada has produced as much less than bright people as much as we have.

[quote="Old Reliable":c3c2d]its because they were paid to say it...idiots[/quote:c3c2d]

Yeah, right, they paid off Bush too, eh? hake:

Old, just stop. No one was paid anything to say anything.

I find it very unlikely that the CBC would waste what little money they have to pay Americans, including Pres. Bush, to say stuff like that. hake:

Besides, you think Bush would really say something that could make him look so stupid on purpose?

[quote="Old Reliable":4278f]smells like bullshit, its made for tv, its not real[/quote:4278f]

Unfortunately, it's real.

I met Rick Mercer in St. John's once...nice fella. Shorter than I expected...heh heh.

then im pretty shocked people are that stupid....thats what you get when you have to pay to go to college annoy:

Well, stage a coup to try to install soviet era politics like they tried to do in 91.

the best was when rick goes to harvard, and even the profs are fooled... or when he tells them that canada just allowed irish-canadians to vote, too-funny...

I think the reason is that people are more willing to believe TV and reporters than to say that they are stupid. they're just gullible.

LOL

You are assuming that we care.

So just out of curiosity, how many?

How many provinces in Mexico while you are at it? Or Russia? Off the top of your head of course, with a camera and a mike shoved in your face.

But yeah, you can find plenty of dumb people in the states. Most of the ones where I live are transplanted yankees.

Granted, some things you may not know about Canada. Fair enough.

But, everyone in the States should know that Canada uses a 24-hr clock not a 20-hr clock. That's just fucking dumb.

There is no arguement for people like that, I agree. Look for these people on future darwin awards. biggrin:

heh heh...indeed. biggrin:

I think people that are that stupid are in a minority. Just a thought.

[quote="Old Reliable":afa71]smells like bullshit, its made for tv, its not real[/quote:afa71]

It is a TV show. I've seen it a few times. If it's not scripted, they seek out the dumbest people they can find. I'm sure you Canadians have your fairshare of dumbasses also.In fact, a few of them post here. the_finger:

even the harvard professors?

Damn right. Of course we do. this "Talking to Americans" is just comedy...no one takes it for a sweeping stereotype of ALL Americans. Well, none of us SMART Canadians anyway... biggrin:

We had a show recently were these Aussies had this world map set up on the streets
of New York and kept moving the place names around then quizzing passersby...
they changed Australia to North Korea and Tasmania (the little triangle shaped state just
south of the mainland) to South Korea...they asked people what they thought of the Korean
situation, and all these New Yorkers were like "OMG, North Korea is so much bigger than
South Korea...it don't seem fair" etc.
I realise they only showed the truely dumb ones but it was funny nonetheless. calmdown:

Hogman ,

That was really interesting , I really had no idea Canadians felt that way.
Truely informative. Thank you.

BAW HA HAHA "prime minister jean poutine" happy:
