TV Thank You, Canada
Posted by Will "the Intern" Radik on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 12:51 PM
Today is Canada Day! Now, to most of you ignorant Americans, Canadian culture and dress may seem enigmatic and primitive, but Canada actually has a rich and powerful culture. How do I know this? Well, you see, like any of you with any culture, whatsoever, I was suckled on the nourishing teat of pure Canadian brilliance!
More cute Canadians following the jump!
Hey, look. Skunks are both sustainable and local! Barth was 30 years ahead of us. No surprise there, he's got the look of an innovator.
So, thank you, Canada! For those of you who only understand Chinese, here is the Chinese version of the Canadian national anthem, sung by a fairly attractive young man.
(Wm. Steven Humphrey says he looks like a Nazi. I can't help but agree that he wouldn't look out of place as an extra in Das Boot or Salon Kitty.)
Showing 1-14 of 14
One of my all time favorite shows was the Red Green show. It was filmed in Canada and was hilarious, especially what he did with duct (not duck) tape. LMAO
Canadians are very innovative. I'll bet a Canadian could do things with a roll of duct tape that your average American would never dream of in his/her WILDEST IMAGININGS.
No SCTV?? It had profound influence and had the creme de la creamery of Canuck talent. You should really have done 1 more googling before posting this.
C'mon, Happy Canada Day? More like Happy New Fiscal Year!
@Abusive If I named every awesome Canadian TV show, it would take forever. I just wanted to pay a little tribute to You Can't Do That on Television, here. SCTV was awesome, of course. (<3 Dan Akroyd) Kids in the Hall, etc, etc.
LOL, thank you intern Will! Ahh the memories DAaahhhalister ... you know the brunette in this one is Alanis Morrisette too.
Thank you intern will! The brunette is Alanis Morisssette
That's true Will. Canada has given me some of my fondest and funniest memories and steal-able jokes. Martin Short, Neil Young, Michael J Fox. Do they have a magic fountain that squirts talent juice all over the whole country (that isn't french)????
Don't forget William effin' Shatner, man!

even referenced in an episode of Yacht Rock.
I was in love with Alistair. I wanted to give myself to him. Sexually.
I wanted to give him the gift of my glorious virginity.
