Canadians are not the nice ones | Rob Bebenek 

Dude's face reminds me of Chris Pratt.

"We're not stupid, we know there's a good chance they're armed."

Canadian Chris Pratt seems quite funny.

"ever ask a Canadian what they think of an American..." everyone laughs and every Canadian know exactly what everyones thinking

The funniest joke is that someone would willingly go to Winnipeg

When he said delaying Canadians trips to a Target I flatlined.

As an American, the funny thing is, Canadians probably haven't said anything about America that we haven't said about ourselves LOL

"i'M tHe LaSt LiNe Of DeFeNcE!!" 😂😂😂😂😂

Canada for ever. I'm from New Zealand... Canada's cool cousin that you haven't seen in ages. :)

“We’re not stupid, there’s a good chance they’re armed.” That had me dying!(figuratively)

"We know there's a good chance they're armed." Lol!

I totally agree with the border thing. As a teenager I was going to a hockey tournament in Pittsburgh and when we got to the border crossing they asked our intentions in America and we told them. They then asked what we had with us and when we told them hockey bags they got all suspicious and started questioning us. When we held tight to our story/the truth and they finally relented, they said they were just being cautious as we could be smuggling six Mexicans in our hockey bags. Like yea, the Mexicans made it through the States, into Canada, and then were like "nope, too cold, let's go back to the States via a child's hockey bag."

I never understood this Canadians are nice thing until I left Toronto.

Bro, canadians don't go to target dude. Target Canada failed miserably

Hey, here's a tip for any Americans here just in case you ever go to Canada. Go to Manitoba, you can't be made fun of if you can't find anyone

The question is, have you ever asked an American what they think of an American

"Americans are benevolently ignorant about Canada, while Canadians are malevolently well informed about the United States. " ~J. Bartlett Brebner

We are not that nice. We just have basic social skills and politeness. Especially when traveling.

Went to Victoria, BC once. Loved every bit of that trip. Canadians, please stay Canadians!

Americans: We like you, we just don't pay much attention to you, because we're us. Canadians: We don't like you, but we still fixate on your culture and politics. Seems like a fair trade.

Don't confuse politeness with niceness Contrary to popular belief Canada does have standards

Just delaying Canadians getting to Target ...😂🤣😂🤣❤️🇨🇦

I'm Canadian, and I've always found it the opposite for border security lol. Crossing the Ambassador Bridge into Detroit, the Americans are like "So where ya heading today? Nice nice, how long are you planning to stay? Got anything to declare? Great have a good day" but going back home, man, its like a polite interrogation about your entire life story. Nothing beats the time where I was crossing into Detroit, sat in a car with my immediate family, and the guard like, leaned into the car, started intensely at me, and went "*Do you know these people*" like jesus christ mate that my mum

"You're just delaying the Canadians' trip to Target 😂😂😂😂"

Tip: If you want nice Canadians, don’t go to Toronto.

Crossing into Montreal we met a Québécois border guy who amusingly asked if we had anything to declare besides the “Noisy Terror Squirrel” (referring to my Pomeranian). We have referred to the dog that way ever since, mimicking his accent. Which was fabulous! 😂. I ❤️ Canada. They were great!

“Say hey to Gary for me” that part was spot on!!

Jesus, all their laughs are synchronized.....

I've never been more harshly greeted than by Canadian border cops.

Living in Windsor in the early 2000s, I went across for a concert, and when Americans found out we were Cdn during the show, we were asked about igloos and polar bears. I explained I literally lived 20m across the bridge due East, they gave me a dumbfounded look... I had to them explain our weather is identical, and igloos are in the north... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I found its opposite at the border for me. Going south, it was easy going! But coming up back home, I got GRILLED. Canadians are serious at the border.

omg the border is so damn true. I've pulled up to the border to come BACK into Canada and they just laugh--I've had one full on just standing outside of their booth and ask me for restaurant recs! I have to basically offer up my first born every time I go into the US!

Say hi to Gary for me 🤣

"I'M THE LAST LINE OF DEFENCE!" Straight up snorted coffee out my nose.

I'm neither Canadian or American, I'm from all the way from Finland but I still find this really funny. 😂

True story My friend and I thought heading south for buffalo wings in Buffalo was a good idea ..we get to the border Where you guys headed ? Buffalo for dinner ...Really? for dinner why? Because we want to try real buffalo wings from Buffalo and look around ......At this point my friend ashes his smoke out the side of the window and it hits the pavement ...Sir I will remind you while your in the USA not to litter ...Ahh hmm OK? Im refuring to your cigarette ..oh ok ...Thanks? ...Oh you think your funny??? Sir let me ask you something..(She was about to give the I'm border patrol i can deny you from entering) ..Sir what do you do for a living ? ..I'm a Comic ...OK mister comic pull your car into Lane number 2 we shall see how funny you are ...We pull into lane 2 and 3 officers get us out and look at the car while a 4th starts to ask where who what why etc ...So why were you giving my officer a hard time ? Officer I was not giving your officer a hard time I answered all her questions to the best of my understanding ...Well when she asked you what you did for a living why did you tell her your a comic...Officer my name is on the rooster on the piece of paper with the name Yuk Yuk's comic act July 10th which is a comic show ..As i get paid to be there and stand on stage for 5 mins that would make me a comic It was your officer that got lippy All we want is wings ...Sees the flyer has a chuckle gets on the radio she comes walking over 10 mins later ...sir i apologize and walks away ...Supervisor says .. Every time shes in the booth we get a complaint This is going to end up being her last day boys ..enjoy your wings

"You're just delaying Canadian's trips to Target" LMFAO

tbh the American people at the border are so much nicer, the Canadians are so strict. I am a Canadian...

HILARIOUS, and as a Texan, "chances are they're armed" was the best line ever...😂

I just spent the day in Canada before driving back to NY and his description of the contrast between the Canadian and American border guards is on point.

"You got anything on you?" "Yeah, snacks! Get out of the doorway." Awesome! 😂😂😂

If I had a nickel for every hasty generalization comment made about whole swaths of diverse people in this comment section, I’d be a rich dude.

*you know you didn’t search for this video, but you clicked on it anyway*

Alberta’s nice although we have Karens here

In my experience as a Canadian who frequently travels to the US, mainly by road, US border guards are friendlier and treat me with more respect than their Canadian counterparts.

Personally, the Canadian side has always given me a hard time. The American side was chill

We love our American brothers and sisters, my forefathers came from USA. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸 and the rest of the world, we are all one. 👍👍👍👍

I figured Canadians were so nice because Americans are their first line of defense.

"Last line of defense?". . . . where's de' fence?

I'm not even Canadian but this was hilarious. This guy is great! Cheers from Sweden 😁

Damn Canadians be so cold.

As an American, finding out how Canadians actually feel about us is like finding out that your best friend since childhood secretly hates your guts and talks shit about you when you’re not around.

I mean, I’m American and even after hearing this, still love Canada.

I use to think Canadians are so polite and nice as everyone use to say. Until I watched Trailer Park Boys...

"You got anything on you?" "Yeah, snacks, get out of the doorway." 😂😂

As an American citizen, raised here my guy... I have Canadian family members and that's how I always knew that Canadians weren't nice... shit my cousins are devils and so are all their friends... maybe it's a Toronto thing?

I remember when crossing the border was no big deal and we used Canadian money interchangeably with American money.

Well that's how borders in the EU are (for EU citizens). I mean, in the few cases where you have to stop, the "border police" officer just waves their hand like "Go on already, i'm tired of you people.". In the other cases you're left guessing "Wait, are we still in Germany or is this the Netherlands already, somebody look at that sign over there!".

Hey😊. Im not a lumberjack or a furtrader... and i dont live in an igloo or eat blubber...or own a dogsled and i dont know jimmy sally or suzy from canada but im sure there really really nice😁. I have a prime minister not a president...i speak english and french...not american and i pronounce it about not a boot i can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack😊. I believe in peace keeping, not policing, diversity, not assimilation, And that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. A touqe is a hat a chesterfield is a couch and its pronounced "zed" not "zee". "Zed"!. Canada is the second largest landmass! The first nation of hockey! And the best of north america! My name is zeena! And i am canadian!😊😊

tbh I’m Canadian and 80% of people think bad of America because of Trump

Anyone who thinks Canadians are the nice ones have clearly never worked retail in Canada. You should see how angry Canadians can get over popcorn, it's ridiculous!

I drove from Nebraska to Alaska a couple years ago, so I had to cross the American/Canadian boarder multiple times in a short amount of time, and I found the Canadian boarder control bros to be way more uptight than the American ones.

good morning! have a lovely day! love from canada!

im aussie, had a canadian teacher for 12 months... best year of my life! wassup mr coombs ✌🏼

SO TRUE!

As a Canadian AND an American, this was hilarious

This was the complete opposite for me at the border going into Vancouver. I had a huge line and they made me get out of my vehicle and ran my complete background check and even brought up my juvenile record a brandishing a weapon however coming back in to America there was no line and they asked me one question which was whether or not I had alcohol or tobacco which I did and they said OK

Borrowing is a different concept in the US.. its called theft.

Fun fact: Vancouver, one of the so called “nicest” cities has a deep history of racism. There were numerous race riots in the previous century fuelled by anti-immigration sentiments, particularly against Japanese and Chinese. The city government enabled this action and provided the rioters with food. Japantown and China town had to literally barricade themselves to prevent bloodshed. Like the US, Canada was only recently a “nice” country.

Crossing into America they didn’t even check our car, going back to Canada they did a full search of a car with 4 kids and two parents

As a Canadian myself we are a very polite bunch of people we just don't like the unnecessary ignorant remarks from the Americans. And when Americans say the wrong thing to us Canadians we will stand up for ourselves 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Lol Im Nigerian Canadian and they're pretty nice and polite here...IN GENERAL. Jerks are everywhere no matter the country. When I went to Chicago (southside), I held open the door for people and they looked at me like I was so weird. Nobody did it for me or anyone else tho. Lol they knew I wasn't from there.

I am an American living at the border. Never have I met people so rude and socially inappropriate group of people as Canadians. I also work at a major store that they come down to shop at. Rude. However, not all Canadians are rude. Not all are bad drivers. What I can say is I met rude and hateful Canadian. I met pleasant and lovely Canadians. We're all people. That's it. Just people.

Im a candian and I dont think that we're really diffrent in terms of politeness from any other country I think its just because we're next to the americans

I ran away in in the seventies to Canada. Told them I was 18. Used my high school card (no photo) as ID. Hung out with them for a while then went and hitched a ride to Vancouver. Everyone was super nice!

As someone who was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and now lives in the deep South… The stereotype is real, and accurate, at that. 🇨🇦 ❤️

This bit was really good, didn't expect that

Guys this was true about the Canadian border back in the day, like the 1980's, 1990's. But times have really changed. Now if anything you will find the American side (depending on the person) a little less hassle. Years ago I worked a job that required me to cross the border every single day. So I would enter and exit at the same times. Most of the time I would hit the same folks. So my crossings would be "expedited" because they knew who I was. Given the added security now the last few times I have crossed have been a equal share hassle on both sides. With maybe the Canadian side being slightly worse. I can't imagine trying to cross daily now.

Dude sounds like Bill Burr's standard women impersonation

His third person voice reminds me of Bill Burr

Canadians are not as nice as the stereotype.

Americans are way more friendly, interactive, social. Simply who says the opposite hasn't experienced life somewhere else. passive cold polite is a thing and friendy is another thing. Also, Canadian criticize Americans much meanwhile Americans think Canadians are nice!

Canadians are similar to Americans, just more down to earth and for the most part lacking the self importance

We aren't nice inside we just express our selves nice on the outside

I work everyday on being a good Canadian to spread the ideals of being a nice person. I may fall 1000 times but always rise 1001 times. Time to not view others as bad but rather Love everyone for who they are and the potential they have!

As a Canadian in Burlington Ontario I found going to winnipeg a great experience cause the people there are so much nicer. GTA is a little more like a city and while they’re alright, I find Americans can be a lot more warm hearted too ... I love that

As if what they’re doing to their indigenous population didn’t tell you that already.

Actually, going over the border to Canada is pretty stressful. They were very thorough and not very polite. And that was almost ten years ago.

The huge difference that I notice in Canada vs. America is that in Canada, if you're going to cross the road and you're a good 15 seconds away from the crosswalk, all of the cars will just.... stop. They'll wait for you and you'll do the whole 'you go' 'no you go' routine and then awkwardly jog across the road, feeling bad that you delayed about 15 cars. When I went to America maybe one car would stop for me the entire time I was walking, but all of the other cars would just keep going. Mind you I'm from the Maritimes, so out west might be different, but it was so weird to me.

I’m American and live in Michigan. People in Michigan go to Canada all the time for alcohol at the duty free, my mom went about a year ago with my little sister and they stopped to get a pie on there way back to America. When they reached the border a Mountie detainees them for 4 hours because they where trying to sneak fruit across the border.

Idk what this dude is talking about, Canada doesn’t exist.

My favorite part about being American is that you can't hurt my feelings when you make fun of me, I've heard it all.

Canadians aren't nice, they're mostly cold and indifferent in the major cities (Torontotians & to a lesser degree, Vancouverites) but what they're really good at is distant politeness and insincere but good manners.

Lol, as an American crossing the Canadian border is stressful. They search your vehicle, ask you a hundred questions, want your entire itinerary, and run everyone's criminal history.

as an american (michigander) i honestly hate canada. i just can't stand people who are passive aggressive like that. i literally told a canadian friend of mine that i'm from michigan, and she said "ew. oh sorry i just hate michigan i used to live near there and it was horrible." lmao, because of one awful city? grow up.

During a lunch break from business meeting in Canada, 3 Canadians were talking trash about the U.S., in front of several Americans, including how the U.S. was "stealing all of their Weather News Meteorologists". I have noticed that Canadians know much more about the U.S. than Americans know (or care to know) about Canada. They seem to be competitive and feel inferior, and will say things about what Canadians have invented and which celebrities are Canadian. It's so strange. So much for the theory that Canadians are so nice! By the way, as an American, I know that our country is a mess in many ways and that no country is perfect. I'm just being honest about my observations and personal experience.

My wife is Canadian, every couple of years we go back and I always think it’s funny if you ask any Canadian what they love about Canada, it is impossible for them to Answer without drawing some comparison to the United States. In most cases, they come right out of the box with it, “well, unlike our neighbors to the south…“ And then usually some bullshit about guns or free healthcare that has been regurgitated at least 50 billion times That Bit about crossing the Canadian border into Canada is completel BS. My wife was driving to her cousins wedding in Vancouver and the Canadian border patrol were merciless with her to the point she was crying. She was armed with a suitcase full of clothing and a camera. They were telling her her documents were fake, and she was not a Canadian citizen, she was only coming to take Canadian photographer jobs away and just totally beating her down emotionally. On her trip home, she came back via Victoria on the ferry over to Port Angeles and received no hassle at all

Hey CBC you've got to slow down on the ads guys. I watched the clip and hit the link to watch the rest of the show. 12 ads for 3 comedians then I gave up. Brutal. Do better.

Canada Me: smiles at random in public Them: =3 America Me: does the same thing Them: Hun I think someone’s trying to jump us....

thats how i feel. murica border cops. please just let me go to target
