How long have you been in Canada?
Perhaps you are one of those 'arrogant' , know it alls , who give other Brits a bad name.
Jeez - get over yourself. This is the internet, all our opinions are worthless musings of bored idiots - unless of course you think posting on here is offering some great intellectual insight or something. If that's the case, please tell me what it is - I could do with a laugh.

Is that like I missed the Irony of russ abbot and benny hill? no wait, they are brits, bugger. Game Vader. I shall redouble my efforts to laugh at Canadian jokes - as they are clearly superior.

Alright already, mclean and mclean once made me laugh. Buddywasissname did so several times. It is possible for something Canadian to be funny, ok?

To me it doesn't it matter if 'they' find it funny or get it just as long as I do.

I'd say most Canadians have a great of humour - anyone seen The Tom Green Show?


Secondly - although my French is basically still dung after 30 odd lessons, I undurstood this piece of popular QC humour:

Ron James for starters. If you dont find him funny, there is something wrong with you.

If hes too wordy, then Rick Mercer has his moments?

Some people in the UK seemed to find Colin Mochre and Ryan Stiles funny when they were regulars on "Whos line is it anyway"...
