LoadingReadyRun: Canada is Sorry

[RvLeshrac]

Great video, guys! It's a shame you are in the snobby west coast, and not the awesome, totally not stuck-up province of Ontario...except for Toronto. Toronto is a dirty hole. Nobody likes them, not even other Ontarians.

That's pretty much how we see Montréal in Québec

I'm sorry you live in Quebec.

 

[r0qu3]

Nice that struck me as very "Monty Pythoneske"...

...Great one this time.

 

[(whitty name here)]

I actually do feel sorry for Canada showing the world Celine Dion and Justin Beiber.
Mostly Justin Beiber, he should die.

 

[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.

Meh, wasn't a huge fan.

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?

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.
