LoadingReadyRun: Canada is Sorry

[Lady Kathleen]

Hey, our (New Zealand's) constant apologising stems from insecurity too! *And* we have that whole size issue ;-P How is that 'synthetic'? =D Loved that kiwi saying 'Bugger Off' though. Hilarious =)

Yessss! I drew those, and a dual citizen Canadian/Kiwi, I couldn't resist putting some NZ in the video!

 

[Revolutionary]

I love the american sorry.
The aussie sorry is like "crikey mate, watch out!"

 

[Yokai]

Canada doesn't have to be sorry, because they produced Scott Pilgrim, which absolves them of all sins.

Great as usual, guys.

 

[Weener]

gotta say, u kinda stole half of this from Catherine O'Haras monologue during the closing ceremonies of the 2010 olympics (Which canada owned by the way! Sorry that all you other countries suck at hockey!)

 

[pheipl]

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)

 

[Morayman]

its going to take more than just sorry to repair the damage justin beiber has done.

Every nation in the world has stereotypes associated with it, and it's funny when they are spoofed in a playful fashion.

What about Azerbaijan?

 

[jcm0791]

Graham, you forgot the most important thing that we are sorry for ...

... that other countries of the world can't also be Canada.

So, to the rest of the world, we are sorry that we are Canada and that you are not.

 

[jabrwock]

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?

 

[Sir Tyrin]

I am sorry, but I must inform you that LRR is actually Canadian. I am also sorry that this has not been cleared up to you beforehand.

 

[That One Six]

I... I never wanted to be a barber, anyway! I wanted to be... a lumberjack!

Monty Python references will never go out of style.

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

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.

Spoiler

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

Alaska only has three cities that are attached by road the rest you need a boat or plane to get to. Also many of the teenagers just go to white horse and call it the "big city" (i only know this because my cousins went to alaska a week ago) i am not quite sure why anyone would want it.

The american have buyed it lol...

The reason why? To keep a watch on the russian and have a place close to lauch a deffense

those Russians are still up to no good? i knew it!
I don't believe that America had gotten a good turn on their investment.

You tell me.

At least in Canada you can counter such things with moose & squirrel.

But seriously, what was the point to this video and did it really need 5 minutes to make one?

i guess it doesnt make us canadian then...

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

Wow... I guess you really are insecure.

Get over yourself. Nations don't have any special protection from being made fun of. Every nation in the world has stereotypes associated with it, and it's funny when they are spoofed in a playful fashion.

I'm sure it's not just you though. Every country has a few people that think their nation is special and can't be joked about. They just annoy the rest of their countrymen who are trying to enjoy the joke. I'm American and I enjoy the jokes about various American stereotypes.

If you can't laugh about it, then the jokes on you.

If you can't be bothered to read previous comments, it's not my fault.

My problem is with the fact that these "jokes" are terribly old, over-used, and have a negative impact on peoples' perception of Canada. And it's not the same for Americans, anyways. You have a home-grown sense of patriotism and nationalism that does not exist in Canada, so a great deal of Canadians are content to allow these things to continue. And they do continue. And continue. And continue! The only time I ever hear "Canada" nowadays is in reference to one of these stereotypes. There's nothing else in the international psyche with regards to Canada, just like the rather common conceptions about Ireland and Japan.

Jokes are fine, if they're balanced by a level of respect, which is lacking in most people who openly mock any nation. As an American, you don't have the same perspective. In fact, many Canadians don't either because they're totally absorbed into American media. It would be like White People viewing Black People as insecure for not liking the "Chicken & Watermelon" stereotype being thrown around.

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.
