He's got to that stage where he laughs more at his jokes than the audience does. Mrs Billy ought to tell him, she knows a thing or two about that sort of thing.

Far from delusional... Many of the States' best comedians hail from Canada. Often they aren't listed as Canadians because they eventually change their nationality after achieving fame.

Jim Carrey
Phil Hartman
Terrance (South Park)
SCTV
The Kids in the Hall


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_​Canadian_​comedians

particle.physics.ucdavis.edu/​canadians/​comedians.html


Mind you, I'm not Canadian... and the above lists aren't at all complete. In the states it's a pretty well known joke that their best comedians are from Canada. The joke being that the Canadians are so frozen and bored, that comedy is a survival skill.

To whoever's holding the real Umbrella hostage and posting in his name:

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let Umbrella go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
