The Super Dooper Canadian Thread (now with 47% more Canadian Bacon)

[LittleSin]

The only band that comes close is Nickelback

Rush?

 

[Gruebeard]

Rush?

They are probably the most successful Canadian band, even counting the Hip, sure. But apart from their Trailer Park Boys-powered resurgence, they are also probably less well-liked than even Nickelback by the country as a whole.

Or: Blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah.

Fred Penner

I've often suspected Fred Penner and Red Green are the same person.

 

[Adam]

Strange family connection: my in-laws have had Fred Penner over to their house repeatedly as a guest. The first time I went to their farm, it was definitely unexpected to see a picture of Mr "The Cat Came Back" singing with my wife and her sisters :-/

Well fuck.

The language police have now ruled fuck as a common word in Canada, no longer subject to censorship.

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

Fuck I need a link on that? I'm fucking curious about this.


Kinda fun I'll admit.

All fairness it's a limited ruling and only allows @Jay to say fuck with impunity right now. But Space TV did have the word fuck spoken twice on a recent Star Trek episode.

I wonder how that would play out in New Brunswick, given bilingual province.

What? We're just talking about seals.

Speaking of Canadian swearing, it was a great disappointment to me when I learned it was spelled "Tabarnak!" instead of "Tabarnaque!"

 

[PatrThom]

It will have to be translated as “fuque.”

Huh. I thought North of 60 used the word uncensored way back when.

Ya but for that to have tripped the censors, people would have to have watched that show.

Ha!

Although I really did like it.

A day late for Remembrance Day, but here's a Canadian hero.

I voted.

 

[Frank]

How, the fuck, is Traders beating Degrassi?

That's insane.[DOUBLEPOST=1510705117,1510705062][/DOUBLEPOST]Due South vs North of 60?

NO, I LOVED BOTH SHOWS! I shouldn't have to make these decisions in the first round of voting!

North of 60 is going to lose, so I throw my vote with the underdog.

Street Cents vs Wok with Yan?

YOU MONSTERS AGAIN!

 

[Soupy]

Those are some awfully heavy f'n choices. Polka Dot Door vs. Today's Special... god damn...

 

[HCGLNS]

Like 50% of the brackets are a Sophies Choice.

 

[Gruebeard]

How, the fuck, is Traders beating Degrassi?

That's insane.

I considered my vote for Traders as a second vote for Red Green. Well, for his nephew Harold.

 

[HCGLNS]

Well Traders was actually really good.

 

[Frank]

It's not as memorable as Degrassi. That's not even a contest.

 

[Gruebeard]

I've walked on Degrassi Street more often than I ever watched the show. And that was like once.

 

[HCGLNS]

I never watched the original Degrassi series.[DOUBLEPOST=1510773153,1510772925][/DOUBLEPOST]I just realized Ready or Not is missing! Boo!

 

[GasBandit]

You can't do that on television was Canadian?!!

...TIL.

(I only learned Are You Afraid Of The Dark was Canadian a couple years ago thanks to Jontron)

 

[Celt Z]

Hey, I've watched every incarnation of Degrassi and I'm not even Canadian!




I'm not proud, I'm just contributing.

 

[Gruebeard]

I voted in the next round.

In the first round, only a few of my picks won. In this round, none of them are going to.

I am looking forward to Sunday.

 

[HCGLNS]

Holy Shit! Traders vs Degrassi was hacked!

 

[Frank]

Alright, fuck the Littlest Hobo. Due South going down to that is worse than all cancer.

 

[HCGLNS]

Alright, fuck the Littlest Hobo. Due South going down to that is worse than all cancer.

I had to vote Hobo based on the 3rd Season actor switcheroo.

 

[Gruebeard]

Alright, fuck the Littlest Hobo. Due South going down to that is worse than all cancer.

Hey, I voted Due South this round.

It's bound to lose for that reason alone.
