I am SORRY I lost just over 5 minutes of my life on this peace of American bull**** (I am not Canadian, I'm European)
Okay... again: We. Are. Canadian.
We are mocking ourselves.
In retrospect, we probably should have mentioned both canada day, specifically, and maybe done something like a "being canadaian, and therefore experts on the subject, LRR presents:" at the beginning :|

-m
meh you know that nothing you do can be appreciated by 100% of the people who sees it. I think most people who saw that think it was funny.

I demand a government approved apology for watching that damned dancing at the end.
Also, I'd like my twenty seconds back.
Actually, make it thirty. Throw in the typing of this message.

Being stranded in Finland?
...How great would that be. The only danger is that you´ll probably never return home again, because this place is just so goshdarn neat.

Well, I guess Canada is pretty cool too. Thanks for this, folks.
Great, now I will never go back to Canada... CURSE YOU IBM!!!!
You didn´t really want to go back anyway, did you.
Just relax and enjoy your stay, forever and ever. You will find us mostly harmless.

Well, since we are on the subject of self-irony, here you go:
Dr. Tulp Introduces the Primitive Man (by YUP)

here we can see a primitive man from beside the Russia
from near the border they captured it
a civilized man can´t make out a word from its speech
the committee investigates its frequency

observe the poor teeth
bent back and large head
general apperance coarce-boned
if not even ugly
personality test determined our subject as
sulky and shy
in modern Europe
as a makeshift he may suffice
for sealing envelopes or to frontline

here we can see a primitive man from beside the Russia
from near the border they captured it
a civilized man can´t make out a word from its speech
the committee investigates its frequency

can´t speak even two words in French,
doesn´t know table manners
never touched a book
but with a pictorial it went to bathroom

its clothing ruins
the entire view of our streets
so I will lock it up
into a darkened hall for awhile
until I manage to formulate
a report for the HQ

here we can see a primitive man from beside the Russia
from near the border they captured it
a civilized man can´t make out a word from its speech
the committee investigates its frequency

so what does the symposium say?
into the central pit it goes!
trader Armán
shall bring his chalk,
a total of tonne!

here we can see a primitive man from beside the Russia
from near the border they captured it
a civilized man can´t make out a word from its speech
the committee investigates its frequency

here we can see a primitive man from beside the Russia
from near the border they captured it
now we just need to determine whether it´s "man" or "woman"
dogcatchers called it " Finn"

I apologize for any possible mistakes or mistranslations.

The clock being what it is right now I'm too tired to read through or even Ctrl + F this topic so I just ask and if it has been already asked, then I'm sorry. Really.

What is LRR's relation with Finland? It keeps popping around occassionaly and as finnish I'm interested.

And before I log out and go to sleep, good episode!

The country that produced Rush is aces in my book, and everyone else who ever picked up drum sticks book, too.

Seriously, Canada is one of those countries that seems to be universally liked. Australia too.

Can't remember hearing a cross word about either my entire life. Good people who seem to be liked the world over. That sense of poking fun at themselves is probably part of it.

Well, you still could have come up with something less stereotypical. I may be abrasive about things like this, but it's only because I'm constantly exposed to it, as a Canadian with Irish heritage and a great number of Asian (as in from Pakistan to the Philippines) friends.

You are rather funny people, but relying on these old stereotypes is beneath you.
I suppose you thought the Olympics closing ceremonies were trite and pathetic too, didn't you?

Were you the one person in the audience not pissing themselves laughing?
The closing ceremonies were pathetic and insulting to those of us with pride. People in RCMP uniforms rubbing up against Michael Buble? William Shatner talking about sex in a canoe? What an embarrasement, it's the olympics for crying out loud. Like Pheipl said: "I am SORRY I lost just over 5 minutes of my life on this peace of American bull**** (I am not Canadian, I'm European)"
It's gotten bad when people from outside you're borders have to remind you of you're pride.

I'm a French Canadian from Québec... and well I'm really not sorry... trought you can keep Celie Dion and Justien Biel (what is name exactelly) I don' want them around

And true... USA have Alaska
french Canadians are not realy Canadians im sorry you had to hear what they think
Quebecors are real men, and real Canadians. 77% describe themselves as Canadian nationalists. A nationalist means "my country, right or wrong" essentially. No wussy, reducing ones own existence jokes, no bullcrap. Just true, Canadian pride and honour. I'm from Alberta, and from those people I've met from Quebec, I can say we have one thing in common. We both have balls, and we both take Canada seriously, and love it with pride and passion. Can the same be said of people who make these lazy jokes? How long would it take them to take up arms in defence of Canada, if they were by themselves as compared to someone from Quebec? I would say much longer, if not at all. Quebecors would not hesitate. They would not have indecision. Can the same be said of you?

... leave them in Finland without a passport? Where the hell did that come from? :D

(Yes, I'm finnish)
Comes from the fact that Canada had tons of immigrants from Finland back in the old days. Well tons and tons, but compared to the population of Finland.

(Yes, I'm finnish too)

OT: Nice video. And I do like Canada. People are really sorry, I mean polite there. It is amazing. Compared to the finlands policy of not saying anything in any situation, I love the Canadian way to apologize.

The man made the Terminator and Aliens. Even if those moves are nearly three decades old it more or less excuses him from any wrongdoing in my book.
Almost three decades of dreck is hard to excuse, period.

That said, our mandate as comedy preformers is to entertain not educate, and the prime target for canadian humour that appeals to audiences outside of canada is national stereotypes. However, there's loads of territory left for us to cover, and we've touched on everything from the history of our national anthem to the canadian heritage minutes that used to air on TV in our canada day episodes, so who knows what we'll do when the time comes next year.
Playing with stereotypes can be fine. Though mostly I just wanted to say some of us American folks do enjoy Canadian humour. We just pretend not to so we don't get beat up as often. :D
