I don't do the Friday Funnies meme, but this is Friday, and these are funny . . . although also serious in a way. Note: if you are tired of political trauma, these are pretty well just fun although it is a bit of a message, especially in the second video. It's not hard to take, however.
More than a decade ago, there was a fun I Am Canadian commercial for Molson Canadian beer. It was carried off in the form of a rant, and was greatly loved. It's just over minute long.
In these troubled times, the guy, Jack, is back with with a We Are Canadian rant. This time it is not a commercial, and there is a message, but it is mostly fun. (length 1' 42")

I remember the Drink Canada Dry slogan, and a friend saying, well I'm trying to!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYes we are Canadian!
ReplyDeleteI like those kinds of memes. Canadians really invented yoga pants?
ReplyDeleteYes WE ARE CANADIAN! And staying that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost Canadian! I couldn't see the second video so thanks for the script.
ReplyDeleteThanks for lightening up the dismal times of tariffs that may or may not exist...but we're all cringing about. Loved that he changed his name for the second video!
ReplyDeleteWow! The second one choked me up. I'm so sorry that our asshole president has messed things us between our nations.
ReplyDeleteYou bet. Love both of them, but that second one has a real punch. Thank you for posting this; it has a lot more weight than my mad.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I wish I could be proud of the US.
ReplyDeleteI hug you.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were Canadian! Dang.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are Canadian and gonna stay that way! I saw this the other day (the new version) and loved it. Note line 19 should be "land that Terry ran the land that Gord sang about". If anyone asks you can tell them about those two Canadian heroes. Elbows up!
ReplyDeleteGood ones. I just got back from Mexico and proudly wore a hat with a maple leaf and everyone smiled when they realized I wasn't American.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these, AC!
ReplyDeleteThe current idjit in the White House will not last forever, and when he and his party are gone, I sincerely hope Canada & the US will once again be allies and good neighbors who rely upon one another.
I love these videos. I read on news that the tariffs gonna postpone til April
ReplyDeleteThe new rant is just the right amount of a (Canadian) dig, isn't it? Love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I posted the last one to my facebook. Hilarious. I saw a meme today that said Canada was readying its airforce, and then showed a large 'v' of geese.
ReplyDeleteThat last was not meant as a insult, btw. Cobra birds are a fearsome opponent and lord knows, we don't need any more shit down here.
Delete😆
DeleteExcellent.
ReplyDeleteI do like Kokanee beer.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Maybe Canada could take my state (WA) over. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love this. I know some Americans who would love to be Canadians right now. I know I'd love to stay in Canada for the next 4 years, but what would I be coming home to?
ReplyDeleteThere we have it. A country that can take pride in itself while we Americans are tossed about with lies and untruths each day to cause chaos.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. We in the States are not too proud of our country these days. And many of us don't feel at home here any more.
ReplyDelete
