Babar Suhail Just because your ancestors came from a place doesn’t mean you can’t make fun of it. I have Canadian ancestry on both sides and I make fun of Canada all the time.
Robin Williams also had a great take on Canadian money. "Canadian money is also called the Looney. How can you take an economic crisis seriously? The Looney is down! Oh how sad for you. If there is a depression does Porkey Pig come out and say Hepd...Hepd...Hepd...That's all folks!"
The best part is American money is basically the only boring money. So many other currencies have coloured money which is much better imo for distinguishing value. Plus our money is waterproof
American 1: IDK what country you are from but weve probly either saved you or kicked your ass at some point American 2: i'm american, dumbass. American 1: Civil War, BOOM!
Just being associated is bad enough. The French make us Americans sound humble. We at least can back ourselves us by showing that we became the most powerful country in the world (following the fall of the Soviets, now it's kinda not so clear) in less time than it took for them to actually change their stalemate with England.
Random thought: why is it that people have never really thought of Britain when they think of Europe (and please don't say Brexit… I'm sick of that word)
The best Canada joke was not done on this show. The best Canada joke was done by the late great Robin Williams. "Canada is a loft apartment over a really great party. (Robin Williams stomps his foot on the ground three times.) Keep it down Eh!"
If you think its painful to hear canadian jokes,or insults,than here's two: the health care is more expensive,and (I think abortion is horrible so this truly disgust me)you guys allow disable people to be killed under them"not being able to truly experience life"if their care taker allows it,
Hardy Harhar how is trudeau more embarrassing then Trump who respects the president of hong kong. He is also tarnishing the long and friendship that both countries had by causing an unnecessary trade war with canada which by the way dies more damage to America then to canada. I hate Trump supporters like you because they are blinded. You neglect the fact that trump is racist and is one of the reasons why global warming is now worse then when Obama was president. Trudeau is much more respectable trump is a disgracful asswipe. It is a serious crime to even compare them to each other. Stfu
Canadian currency is something we could learn from, particularly their use of $1 and $2 coins. Most countries use them for a reason. Don't get me wrong, I love America and I generally prefer our way of doing things, but how many times have you tried to buy something from a vending machine, only to find that it refuses to take the only $1 bill in your wallet? Sometimes there isn't even anything wrong with it, the stupid machine just won't take it for whatever reason. You dig around in your pockets to see if you have enough coins to use instead. You find a nickel, two pennies, and insert cliche non-coin third item here. Nope. You're either gonna have to go get change somewhere, or if that $1 bill WAS messed up or whatever, try using a $5 bill. If the machine even accepts fives, you're stuck walking around with a pocket pull of quarters for the rest of the day. All of this for some M&Ms. Now, same scenario, but in a country that mints dollar coins. I visited Australia in 2006. While staying at one of my hotels, I decided that I wanted a Violet Crumble (an Australian candy bar that I had the opportunity to try in a History class a few years earlier), so I walked down to the vending machine. My mother had given my brother and I some walking around money, which mostly consisted of $1, $2, and $3 coins. I thought it was weird that they didn't have bills smaller than $5, but I soon discovered why. I put in my money, and made a selection. KLANG! Out came the Crumble, and then the change. I walked over the soda machine, and bought a Coca-Cola. KLANG! Out came the Coke, and the change. I collected everything, and took a couple steps back towards my room, when I paused. I looked at the small handful of change. I think maybe I got one or two coins from each purchase. I looked back at the machines. Then I realized that I at no point had to straighten out a bill, fold it in half longways, or offer a virgin sacrifice to the vending machine gods in hopes that I might actually get a cold drink on a hot day. I just thought to myself, "WHY THE HELL DON'T WE HAVE THESE?!"
Some people get upset when they hear jokes about Canada. It's like cheer up dude they don't actually hate us! Like bullying your younger brother for fun. It's all good, if shit hits the fan I'll be the first to sign up to defend either country.
How do you make these video/clips. Is there a website or something. Do you download the episode then cut out the clips you want to post? I want to do the same for this show and many other but dont know how.💚

0:19 Hoser or hose-head is both a slang term and a derogatory term, originating from Canada and used primarily by those imitating Canadians.[1] It is not often used by Canadians, but it is sometimes used as typical Canadian slang by others.[citation needed][dubious - discuss] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser
I love Barney and he's my favorite character but the Canadian jokes are irritating. I just don't understand his hate for Canada they did nothing wrong.
Here's another social experiment to try, just out of curiosity, instead of chanting the abbreviated "U.S.A" in a bar, see if you can get the same response chanting "United States of America". How many will chant that back versus reverting to U.S.A or just America?
The problem is that with the US right south of us telling everyone how amazing they are, people tend to overlook Canada. Of course, right now with the current problem people are trying to come north for easier testing and better care if you test positive. But really, it's because we get flak for things like this, stereotypes propagated by mostly the US, who, to elevate themselves, drag down almost every other country in the world. Sorry if I offended anyone.
The thing about the America vs Canada jokes in this show is that, Barney is actually pointing out how Americans are doing some wild, stupid and crazy things in America and he thinks it's cool, and how Canada is just a peaceful boring place which he thinks is lame. They did a great job of making sure that the jokes are not offensive. 👍
Justin Bieber and celion Deon came from Canada. And where do they live now?!?! America!!! Even Canadians want to be American. Jokes aside Canada you're a cool place, just get rid of the monopoly money and stick to what you're amazing at. Syrup and hockey. And ice.....
Heather Smith they all recently said they were never going to move. They just want attention. Hollywood's stock prices are falling significantly that actors will be like they were during the times of Shakespeare. Flat broke traveling the country to perform eating the food that they're hit with. This is solely based in an economic stand point. I have no affiliation with either party, but I support my Commander in Chief
They should've brought up the story of how during the reconstruction of the United States, a guy named Finian and 355 or so of his friends, while drunk and Irish, took over Canada
You know nice people like you barely even exist anymore. Thank you for the compliments. Canada is a great country. I hope you enjoy yourself here. And FYI the citizenship test here in canada is difficult. So good luck.
I hope I can visit Canada someday. I’m Turkish and I used to kind and warm-hearted people here. I would like to meet your people. I heard you’re so kind and sweet. And that’s the type of people I’m looking for :)
1:41 Best not come around the Midwest there Barney, talking shit about Curling is reserved for locals. We don't take kindly to folks shit talking curling, or as some of us locals know it as 'rock humping with brooms' or 'skipping stones on easy mode' or 'the sport that filters who can stand while drunk from those that can't' or 'What Assholes from Plymouth set up in their backyards to show off they are wealthy yet surprisingly never play because what I want in my neighbor's backyard is a fucking skating rink with flood lights that they never seem to turn off'
