It’s unclear whether they were in on the joke. 🧐 The alleged Americans seemed to have fun taking part in the absurdity of the skits. The only ones who seemed to truly believe what had been proposed were the people who signed the clipboards. They were committed 😮
2:45 '' Jean Crouton ? "" ....no. i only eat them, with French Onion soups.....or in roasted red-pepper soups....thank-you America, for being ' stoopid ''
Well they are just to niave and trusting assuming a Canadian wouldn't like to them just to laugh at them if you tell them there is a giant igloo they think that's possible sure tell them it's called the sky dome and people play baseball there then it has a bit of truth to it.
When I was a kid I'd occasionally watch shows like Jerry Springer and think it had to be scripted because there's no way a country could have enough idiots to fill a stage and an audience with new faces every week. I was wrong!
Rick Mercer unquestionably has a gift for finding the stupidest people within a 100 metre radius of where he his standing. That' a real gift! Go Rick!!!!
I am sure there are many funny Americans. What i was impressed with was during 911 when Gander and many other Eastern provinces took in so many Americans, the Americans and other nationalities were so thankful we never heard anything negative about the passengers.
Lucien Bouchard was a minister in Brian Mulroney's cabinet. The series was brilliant, and no doubt edited to pick out those overconfident Americans who couldn't say "I don't know" ! My favourite was when Rick got individuals on a university campus to sign a petition asking the Canadian government to stop putting their senior citizens out on ice flows.
We missed the set up part of every one of those clips. Rick can be a charmer and he took advantage of those people. And yet we wonder why they think we're backerds, All those people told two friends and those friends told two friends and now look at us. We're just like them, without the shiny hair.
This is America, to be honest. My parents lived there when I was about 10 years old, and, I kid you not, the teachers were writing "a lot" as one word. I begged and cried to come back. The teachers were horrid to me because they kept trying to force me to pledge allegiance to a flag that was not mine. I was also in a grade 5 class in Canada, and they placed me in a grade 7 class in the USA. The horror!
My Grade 6 teacher must have had a bad experience in the US then, because I specifically remember her drilling into all of our heads that it's "a lot," NOT "alot."
This is funny, but as an American with a taste for parody and satire-and who has been to all 10 provinces-I have to say I’ve played this same kind of trick on lots and lots of Canadians. Bottom line: most people (Probably 95%) aren’t actually good listeners-nor are they very good at processing information even if they are actually “hearing” what is being said to them. These examples do not-by any means-reflect a trait that is unique to Americans. It’s actually universal.
The thing about Amazon one needs to logon every day and that is just too much. Their login in procedure calls my cell phone 5 6 7 times to confirm its my accounts its irritating.
9 years later, and the answers today would have been worse. I remember a 22 Minutes segment Rick did on the Seniors on Ice Flows - much longer. Hilarious.
Ah man, I am cracking up. Sadly I talked to America's that really did not have a clue of outside the fence. 😂😊

and these fuckers are in charge now 😮😮😮😮
As if Canada is important enough for the world to know its story. It’s not ignorant to not know something that’s not important and not worth knowing.

I can’t believe Americans are this f&cking stupid

Huckabee is still an idiot. I guess the Harvard professor's stupidity is due to no windows in his ivory tower.
And we wonder why the world is a mess now hahahaha
Canada should get a national igloo .
Daily newspapers!!! Tim Hortons double double!!!! BRILLIANT!!! Tim Hortons should give you some free coffee for the plug!!!
3:43 what’s her @?
Jean Crouton 😂
I heard that Prime Minister Horton had a 69 with a honey cruller.
That people in the US referred to it as "Canada? They should bring that over to America" should tell you everything about their education.
nobody can do it better than Rick Mercer. Wonder if any of those nincompoops ever saw the broadcast they were on.
Long live Jean Cretong!
Pffff! U.S.people!😂
Lmao. Omg.
When I was a kid I'd occasionally watch shows like Jerry Springer and think it had to be scripted because there's no way a country could have enough idiots to fill a stage and an audience with new faces every week. I was wrong!
Proof positive that Huckabee is a moron. He shares that honor with his daughter.

😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
If I were Canada I would relocate. Very sad, but very telling. The war of independence didn't do the Americans any favours if this is the result.
OMG This is so sad on so many levels!
Wilford Brumley taught at Harvard?
This is what religion/spirituality causes
As an American always horrified how ignorant some can be… love Canadian humo(u)r!

How can you study political economy and think Tim Horton is the Prime Minister of Canada 😂
To funny long live canada 🇨🇦, all we have to do is get rid of Trudeau

But that is my retirement plan.
The real star is Rick Mercer. The looks on his face are priceless. He is a comedy genius. 😄

Rick Mercer is a comedy genius. So funny.
As an American I'm highly offended at the accurate portrayal of our general ignorance of anything outside of the US. Keep up the good work.
You kind of are...
Wow what an embarrassment to the Americans, how can they be so pathetically stupid!!
I miss you Rick.

Americans actually believe that Canada is covered with ice and snow. They are 50% right

I cant see any Canadian being this stupid or ignorant, well not yet that is.
As a naturalized American citizen (1977) I am in shock ! The education (higher halls of learning)is going great 🤪🤪🤪
It really was not worth the patents bribing people to get into those colleges and universities. So funny.
dumb liberals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it. Missed you. I'm hooked

we have national igloos?

Damn it, Rick! I damn near peed myself laughing 😂 🤣
How did Rick ever keep such a straight face?

OMG.
