Being a Canadian that visits America often is fun. We’re the stealth minority in the US. Telling someone you’re from Canada usually either earns a “cool!” or a silly joke about Canada that just shows how little Americans know about our culture. Well finally someone has uploaded the show where one Canadian comic makes college professors, politicians, celebrities and ordinary Americans look silly for it.
Someone’s uploaded a segmented version of Rick Mercer’s CBC special, Talking to Americans. Talking to Americans was a segment on the uproariously funny “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” CBC news/commentary show, in which Rick Mercer would go to the USA and ask Americans whether they believed that Russia should given the Chechens in Saskatechwan their freedom, or for help defending our national igloo, or for congratulations on legalizing insulin. This show is a national institution, but it has never been aggressively marketed to Americans. You’d be hard pressed to get a funnier outside look into the USA. Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5
