Canadian Thanksgiving 🍗🤣| Gianmarco Soresi | Stand Up Comedy Crowd Work 

I wish you would have gotten to come to Utah! I can't believe the bad luck T__T I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year!

where are the links to find the tickets? would love to see you in miami!

My Thanksgiving involved my mom first going to visit my sister and then me. Usually it's that the parents are divorced and the kids go to different houses, but now it's that the kids are divorced and the parent goes to different houses. The divorce is due to domestic abuse, trespassing, and threats of myrder and arson. I am also an aspiring comedian, in case you couldn't tell from the lack of mention of a father 😊

But where are the Canadian fates. I need one in either Toronto or Calgary

it's not imaginary, a meal actually occurred

For real. The girls tried to make it a TED talk and he said no Im here to laugh.

​@@IHJello they gave the comedian some interesting and fucked up info to make jokes out of, don't act like they were trying to preach lmao

​@@IHJelloNo they didn't. Always this fucking misogynistic take, it's unnecessary

​@@cascharles3838 THIS!

@@IHJellothe girls did nothing wrong i don’t think you understand crowdwork

Synergy is the perfect word. I was trying to find a way to describe how satisfying the layers were

For real!! Insane

The crowd work is getting too good to the point where the crowd is now working for Gianmarco

​@@smartstuf1026 Every comedian needs to have a scandal eventually. Gianmarco's is the unpaid labor his audience is doing for his comedy 😆

This is just a conversation between me and my fellow eneurodivergents. It gets better when I've known them longer, but it can happen on the spot

Yeah that was a stupid "holiday". None of my Cree friends and family give a shit about it

Lol seriously truth and reconciliation day is just an excuse for government workers to have another holiday 🙄

Deadass. Truth and reconciliation should be an ongoing conversation led by the Indigenous people of the nation, the survivors of white supremacist brutality and genocide. Not some racist liberal.

The "pretty much" after that killed me lol

Nope bud Canada still screws natives and the trafficking ,kidnapping and abuse still happens today

He might be telling the truth. Next thing you know, a commercial pops up. "Don't miss this week's episode of Black and White: The Next Generation. Will we end all racism or get CANCELLED... AGAIN?!" 😅

yeaaaah OMG can't stop laughging at this he stole the show

He's a wakandian crime prodcuer

so are the natives :P

@@GreedyOrange native people are still alive it’s a myth that indigenous ppl are gone yk that right?

And for once it's not some crazy conspiracy theory right-wing nut bullshit, Trudeau actually did that and there's a photo of it and everything.

And she was succinct and got lots of points across, that’s a level of communication-on-the-spot I aspire.

Canadian Thanksgiving is agreed upon by most historians to predate American Thanksgiving, its based on two different things originally celebrated in the maratimes, the first being the harvest festival that was shared between the Mi'kmaq and the Acadians (which was a genuine annual occurrence, not a made up dinner), the second being a celebratory feast held in Newfoundland by a licensed pirate who pillaged French ships before making several attempts to find the Northwest Passage. Upon having the good sense to turn around and flee before freezing to death, he and his crew celebrated the fact that they got out alive with a feast. Also it originally did not center around turkey, you'd eat rabbit, deer, fish, goose, apples, pumpkins, lobster, generally whatever the hell you could gather together. It wasn't until the influx of American loyalists to Eastern Canada that turkey became less of an option and more of a requirement. Canada had their own very different Thanksgiving, (which again, very likely came first) now no one remembers why or what it was, and we sit around eating turkey, watching American football and talking about American politics. It's embarrassing.

@@elainea7734 The English had Harvest Festival back in the Middle Ages and probably before that. The English who went to Canada just took it with them. The tradition of celebrating harvest goes right back to the Old Testament.

@@annainspain5176 oh I'm not up in here saying the obvious and basic idea of a friggin *harvest festival* comes from Canada lol, It just drives me off my nut when people are like "CanaDA IS jusT TRyinG to BE AMEricA". Our "thanksgiving" doesn't come from America. Immigrants to North America brought their harvest festivals over from Europe, and Indigenous Canadians had *their* own harvest festivals. The Canadian version of that harvest festival is based specifically on the one shared between the Acadians and the Mi'kmaq, and it involves (or used to involve) its own traditions. People in America act like they invented the concept of every holiday, and people in Canada are so out of touch with their own culture that *they* act like we're just cheeky chums with no discernable history who stole those holidays *from America*.

@@elainea7734 I can't tell if you're disagreeing with me or just adding random (interesting but not related to my comment) info. Modern Canadian national identity in general (let alone thanksgiving) seems to be "genocide but then you say sorry after". Because of that I think it's hilarious that he landed on that description by adding thanksgiving and Canadian stereotypes together and not realizing how relevant to Canadian comedy his joke was. It had layers that I'm pretty sure he wasn't aware of.

@Zack_Taylor I mean I wasn't disagreeing, but I think it was relevant, you said "his assessment of Canadian Thanksgiving" which is also the subject of the video. I'm saying that while you find his comment funny due to that assessment applying to Canada in general right now, I'm saying I find it *even more* funny that another aspect of Canada as a whole is that we've become a cultural wasteland and this audience member, along with many of the people in this comment section, seem to have no sweet clue what the history is behind their own holiday. I guess what I mean is, you say that his comment sums up Canadian identity, and I would argue we barely *have* an identity any more, which I think this video, and the multitude of confused Canadians commenting underneath it, is proof of lol

probably just a harvest thing. might have something to do with surviving a ships voyage cause one guy had a feast to celebrate that

hopefully you’ve googled it by now 😂

I have looked it up a few times and I still have no idea what the story is

@@tim.a.k.mertensi thought we just wanted to be different and special from america 😭

Canadian thanksgiving predates the American thanksgiving by 40 something years. It has to do with the explorers and safe travels.

Yeah his reactions are 100% "Really? tell me more! What happened next? Someone pass me the chips!"

At least they say sorry I guess?? T_T In the US most of us just go "ok, it happened but it nothing to do with us. can you get over it already? jeez. also we can't change it from columbus day to Indigenous people's day, that'd be erasing our history! not that you'd know anything about that. damn it's so hard being white in america"

@@mischr13LMAO that triggered so much anger in me because its literally so accurate 😭😭

She sounded young tho 😂 she wasn't there or anything it's been years since that lmao. Making it sound like it was last week hah 💀

​@@flamingarbre1284Trudeau isn't that old. She could have very easily been a student at that time.

Still do

No, that's just the crowd work part.

But he always know how to throw back whatever they're giving him.

It's got that theater kids cast party vibe

I like his crowd work better. His standup is great too, but they feel a little too rehearsed.

@@coroner2141 That's what standup is...rehearsed comedy.

Everyone deserves truth but blissful ignorance is indeed comfortable when the truth is not pretty.

⁠@@1day2dayme the indigenous people thing is just a USA thing in the thanksgiving. The rest of the world just celebrate the harvest. Normally very different dates and names.

There are primary sources and original letters that document several days of feasting between the original pilgrims and Native Americans. But American Thanksgiving today is more closely tied to when Abraham Lincoln took the advice of a famous housewife to make it a national holiday. He was also trying to use it during times of war and division to help the whole country be united in remembering what good things we shared with each other.

Canadian Thanksgiving is just a celebration that grew out of a harvest festival.(that being said her pretty much could just be referencing how terrible we treated the indigenous groups in general) The American story is made up, it appeared rather suddenly in a school book at one point. Historically there are letters talking about "feasts of thanksgiving" but that's because it used to be a fairly common practice in Christian tradition to have them for almost any reason you could think of.

A common story I did hear growing up in Canada, from even my concerningly right wing family members, was that the indigenious people welcomed the colonialists but they betrayed this trust and attacked the indigenious people. In vague terms this was sometimes tied to an American feast, which I gather now is their thanksgiving. The part that always varied was the Canadian propoganda in which Canada (better than the USA, of course) had "learned" from these mistakes and created residential schools, when in fact residential schools were merely another avenue of genocide. After that was recognized as wrong the propoganda became about "not all residential schools were bad" and "dont worry weve changed they're closed now (cough dont look at the one that closed in '97) and we said sorry". Which version of that story you'd get from school books or even people was a coin toss, but I dont recall it ever being attached to our thanksgiving. Im interested in whether others had this experience? Canadian history as I know it has long had an air of superiority about how nice their genocide was, and I find that impacts all of our culture. For every historical event there is propoganda about Canadians being "better" and "more humane", while in conflict also gaining a reputation for fighting dirty. There's always a scapegoat for our country's actions, and in that way I find we are just like the USA.

They did, it devolved tho.

Funny til it turns out he's Bruno from Black. White. 🤨🤨🤨

@@TwisterTornado CAN YOU JUST LET ME GO ALONG WITH THE JOKE FFS?

@@TwisterTornado doesn't matter if it was a joke or not stop being such a know-it-all on my comment

@@TwisterTornado The majority of my mom's race Native American And I take most of that from her. I have blonde hair and blue eyes from my biological father. I'm not pretending to be, I'm just saying genetically I am. My literal ancestors were Native American. What did I say about being a know-it-all?

@@TwisterTornadoyou’re fucked up, dude

Was it originally in October?

@@TheKillahKyla I don’t remember the date of the primary sources from the first fall festival between the pilgrims and native Americans. I’m fairly sure Lincoln made it a national holiday in November.

i wish you the absolute best in life, dear rat whisperer.
