LoadingReadyRun: Canada is Sorry

[Weaver]

I think Canada is pretty awesome I visit once a year you guys are lucky, you bastards have TIM HORTONS

Ha, I'm sitting here with an ice cappuccino from Tim Horton's right this very second!
*slurp*

 

[Jakabus]

I take serious offence by this video. I demand some kind of appology from the creators... and try to make it as canadian as possible.

 

[Soushi]

Good one, i liked it, especially being from Canada.
We really have given the world some cool stuff. However, there is a mistake i thik that they made. So i will correct it, 'James cameron and his awesome cat person movie."

 

[V8 Ninja]

Wow...that was hilarious. =D

 

[Hulyen]

What could Rosco possibly be sorry for? He's a beacon of courage and steadfastness to us all!

 

[dalek sec]

As an American I must say you guys got our part wrong, there's usally a great deal of cursing and rude insults being thrown back and forth at one another. Please make sure you do more research next time. D:

Alright, silly postings behind I liked that, so I finally know where the word "Sorry" comes from, thanks for making a funny and fact filled episode!

 

[SquirrelPants]

Guys, I say we all band together and try to make #canada a trending topic on Twitter. EDIT: That's in reference to 4:23 in the video, in case you didn't catch the joke. But really, let's do that.

More to the point, I'm sorry that you are so sorry all the time, Canada. I think I finally get you guys now.

 

[Something Amyss]

Easily one of my favourites.

Especially apologising for James Cameron. >.>

 

[Aptspire]

I'm sorry for this great video

 

[3rds5]

as a canadian i endorse this PSA. im sorry if that sounds presumptuous, and i am truly sorry that such a PSA was made due to its thinking that the world is ignorant of such things. for this i am truly sorry. i am also sorry we won the most gold medals ever; we will try to do worse next time so as to not hurt your feelings.

Am I the only one who's sick of these lame-ass repetitive jokes? They even lifted a bit straight off of Jon Stewart.

Back in the War years, it was Japanese (but really any non-Middle Eastern or Indian looking person from Asia), Germans, and Italians who were "totally acceptable" targets, then it was the Russians and Chinese (again, really anybody from East of Burma), and now it's the Irish, Canadians, French, Americans (funny enough), and still East Asians.

This was not funny, nor has it been the 95 other times I've heard the exact same bits.
Learn some material that isn't old, unfunny, and offensive

given that we, as canadians, spent the entire video taking the piss out of ourselves, you can class this video squarely in the "self-depricating" category, rather than that of "attack based on nationalism"

yes, the ground is well trodden. such is life when having fun with stereotypes.

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it.

It doesn't matter if it's self-depreciating, in fact that makes it worse. Why would you want to perpetuate pathetically old "jokes" at your own expense? Many people use that bullshit excuse, but the Canadian nationality is so depreciated, it would have almost no resale value. Especially less than a week after Canada Day. Garbage like this is just like Blaxploitation: It reaffirms negative stereotypes, and it is willingly participated in by the people who should be outraged by it.

You've definately lost most of your real Canadian viewers.

*raised eyebrow*

You are aware that having fun at our own expense is rather a hallmark of canadian comedy the nation over, right?

edit: and that we at LRR have traditionally done such a video in recognition of canada day every year?

 

[Anarchemitis]

Canada also invented the Instant Replay [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_Night_in_Canada#Television], made popular by replaying rapid-processed footage of goals and other highlights before commercial breaks in the 1950s on Hockey Night in Canada.
Chew on that, American television.

 

[Graham_LRR]

You've definately lost most of your real Canadian viewers.

We actually have quite a large Canadian fanbase, and I object to the implication that they are any less Canadian than anyone else from Canada.

You're taking this far too seriously.

 

[MasterChief892039]

Wait, Justin Bieber is Canadian? I'm Canadian and I did not know that.

World, we are very, very sorry.

you bastards have TIM HORTONS

Easily the best part of being Canadian.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

This reminds me of several Hark a Vagrant comic strips. The ones about Canadian stereotypes, that is.

 

[Lord Hawkeye]

No one from Scotland?

I doubt that was the reason in 1869 or whatever, because at that time the relationship between us and the U.S.A. was alright.
Especially considering the fact we were the ones who sold Alaska.

The Russians sold Alaska, they wanted a bidding war between the UK and the USA, but only the USA was interested, no idea why. Maybe they had money hanging around. They weren't enemies with Russia at that point at all.

Edit: Hold on, that's what you just said.

There wasn't much value in Alaska at the time Russia tried to pawn it off. The UK was already raking in the gold thanks to BC. And if the UK really wanted Alaska they would have just taken it like the Russians feared they would. Hence why the Tsar wanted to sell the land, to at least gain some profit from the icy land. Funny fact, it took Russia almost 8 years to finally sell it to the US.
