Finding Rick Mercer funny

Alan2005

He's awesome in the Canadian sense. i.e. ok, but a bit mediocre really.

Oink

He's a knob, not in the remotest sense funny. Same goes for that little gnome like fellow that jumps up and down a lot.

How long you been here?

Mercer irritated the crap out me until two years ago - he hit the right note in Bon Cop, Bad Cop as the hockey pundit - he played an irritating git with a loud tie that hates Quebec and European players, not too hard to guess who it was based on.

Still not so sure on the hoppy gnome ...

Alan2005

I don't think he's that bad - kind of like jon stewart with a much lower hit rate. I can't say I ever watch his show or am even inclined to do so either. As for a gnome like fellow that jumps about a lot - never seen him but you make it sound almost funny in your description

In the same vein as canadian as inserting the word 'buddy' into all sorts of sentences.

i.e

So, I sees 'buddy' down there at the Tim Horton's and he's orderin' a double double which he donts usually dose, eh?

Oink

Apparently his name is Ron Jones.

Buddy!.....

Ron Jones is freakin' awesome! I seen him in Mon'real. He's freakin' funny as shit!

Just kidding - he's a wanker.

....or anyone of any age who does absolutely anything!!

OK - as Canadian as:

Calling a teabag in a cup of microwaved water tea!
Watering a baseball cap with fuzzy moose antlers.
Never tying your laces.
Calling jello with grated carrots in it a "salad dish"
Calling jello with instant whipped cream topping "trifle"
Mullets
Having a national sport that we can never win at (though that counts for the Brits too - except for the last eight games)

Alan2005

Calling jelly jello

Lemi

as Canadian as... any other North American.

rwin

As Welsh as... anyone else from England

Oops, wrong thread

If you're going to criticise the least you can do is get his name correct.

It's Ron JAMES.

Oink

Well it was someone with a girls name.
