Hundreds of thousands of people watch Brittlestar’s videos every week.
His comedic and family-friendly videos have been seen more than 500 MILLION times on various platforms. His recent KFC video campaign was the most popular branded video content in the world on Facebook for the summer of 2017.
With a global fanbase, an invitation to the White House, speaking engagements all over North America, a weekly panelist on CTV National News, starring in the Dreamworks TV show ‘Kid vs Parent’ with his youngest son, collaborations with celebs such as Gordon Ramsay and The Property Brothers, and meet-and-greets at PlaylistLive, Brittlestar is living the social media celebrity dream… not bad for a Dad from the suburbs.
Brittlestar, or Stewart Reynolds (as his mom calls him when he’s in trouble), is the father of two teen boys, Owen and Gregor (both well-known creators online). These three guys, along with Brittlestar’s wife, Shannon (co-star of their successful The Morning Show Thing live stream on Facebook), have created viral videos for a variety of brands and organizations such as Disney, ESPN, Subway, CBC, Walmart, and others.

@brittlestar pretty much everywhere
That was hysterical!!! This guy does stand-up, doesn't he? Rock on, Canada. We love you, too!
"our biggest export is 'raw smug' 😆 too funny
Very true video and great channel! I'm from Vermont and live 5-10 minutes drive away from the border. I have had the opportunity to work with the Canadian division of my company for the past few years. It's been one of best experiences of my life. Happy Thanksgiving!
As an American, I've often described it as that horrible trainwreck that you pass by on the road. You know you don't want to see how bad it is, but you can't help yourself, you have to look.
Brittlestar strikes again! Loved it! Keep up the great work, you are so funny, intelligent and talented!!! Thank you for making my night. Greetings from Bowmanville, ON.
As a US citizen and your neighbor, I can tell you, living in this huge house is not worth it. Help me and my family move to Canada and I will smuggle in all the whatchamacallits I can for you.
Wait for me Anna!
I truely would, if it were that simple! :)
Either that or bring all the ketchup chips and butter tarts down here!
Hey, aren't you my long-lost cousin ... ? ;)
Apparently this guy likes our health care system (among many other things) so much more than what they have in Canada, he'll be a paid propagandist for the US Deep State. Quite the Canadian, eh? Canada is probably very sorry for producing him. I mean, they're sorry about everything but you get the idea.
You just made me homesick, more than ever! ☺️ Your t-shirt is very cool. Love your vids - thanks so much!
True, so dam true! I can honestly say though, I've only been to that neighbours house twice, in 50 yrs!
me too, and only for a few hours
haha so true! :D And great drone shot at the end! Beautiful.
Amazing work! So grateful for what you do!
Can we come over to your house? It looks so peaceful over there. Sure, our house is grandiose, but it's really just for show. Everything is falling apart and everyone is angry with each other because nothing works right. It's so much more calm at your house. Pleeeeeease?
Yup. I get it. Come on over for a cuppa, a BeaverTail and a few Timbits. Love to share those Canadian treats with you. ❤
The last 4 years have definitely been a reality show.
That's how it might seem when viewed from the outside. But the truth is the media declared war on Donald Trump the moment he decided to run for President. The media in the United States is largely untrustworthy. They have a coordinated agenda, and they are shameless in promoting it. Truth be damned. Trump's actions have made the United States a much better place for its citizens. He's rewritten the bad trade deals, strengthened America's economy, and eliminated excessive over-regulation. And he has been fought and obstructed nearly every inch of the way by the Democrats and their political arm, the mainstream media.
In 2016, his opponent was an influence-peddling, corrupt Hillary Clinton who should have gone to jail for trafficking in national security secrets.
This time around, the opposition is a senile, corrupt Joe Biden who used his position to enrich himself and his son in both the Ukraine and China.
I don't think that's much of a choice. Trump has earned the respect and admiration of millions of Americans. He will be re-elected.
@@georgepandelios2853 All the best my friend ♥️
more like an out of control frat party, complete with dumpster diving
HAHAHAHAHAHA
@@georgepandelios2853 Well, so much for your prediction. Trump is a liar and a cheat and he makes fun of the handicapped and he poured derision on a hero. A great choice of yours and millions of other amorals, to support a bloody toad.
I am SO happy to be Canadian.
I love the self-deprecation elements in this video. I love Canada and it’s been very good to me.
I do get the feeling, watching and listening to Canadian media, that the States are a primary focus to take peoples minds off of what could be better in Canada and with Canada’s government.
Don’t get me wrong...every country has things that could be better on all levels. Nobodies perfect.
I just get the impression that the media’s message in how they cover the States is, “yeah, but it’s worse in the States so we’re ok in Canada”...instead of focusing energy on fixing what needs to be fixed here in Canada.
Just a personal observation and definitely not a judgement.
No offense, eh. I love you Canada!
You aren't wrong.
@@JBond-zf4dj But not quite right either. You see, in Canada, we have come to the understanding that compromises are actually a good thing to live in peace. Peace of course is easier to achieve without an uncontrolled access to firearms, so there's that too. We are not a gun country. Don't want to be smug about it.
@@elisabeth-vallee that's what some people in Canada think. You don't talk to very many if you think everyone is like that. The house fire at the neighbour's is catching on to our home.
nah, we know we have our own issues, working on it. but, the usa just baffles
True, but it's the same thing in other countries, as well. Australia has news stories about its own issues/happenings, yet covers the States' stuff, too. I've seen similar patterns in England, France, and Germany. People from other countries have mentioned it to me, also. I believe (might be wrong) that it's because the States, for so long, was the epicentre (for lack of a better word, at the moment) for most of the world - movies/music/other entertainment (look at how many artists left Canada to go to California or New York), internationally, money is compared to the US dollar, and availability of 'crap' (US ads that show stuff "not avail in Canada", store coupons, etc.). Just a few examples, off the top of my head.
On the other hand, it seems that CA is picking up a lot of US habits, good and bad, at an ever increasing speed. Before cable and later, the internet, and more international travel, Canada was mostly, pure Canada. Not so much anymore. So, watching the US news items might be like looking into a crystal ball for the future of Canadians, if not careful. Hope not! 🇨🇦 Just my thoughts, not meant to hurt or insult anyone.
this is so right on - I couldn't stop laughing.
This American craves for less flashy
I lived basically on the U.S. side of the Canadian (Quebec) border during the 60's and 70's when mailboxes were being blown up, political leaders kidnapped and anyone the spoke English were either hated or ignored. So I can imagine what it is like to be on the other side of that border. If Frump head is successful in his quest for complete control with no stops or safeguards Canada could be that place blocking our access to Alaska (land wise). He might want to just have a solid path up to it. Canada is in as much danger as we are. And I agree with Anna Beer, for the first time in my 72 years on this planet, I no longer want to live here or even let anyone know that I live here. I can never feel the same about us again. Fortunately, I am close to the end naturally, so what ever happens will not affect me for very long, but, I hope the youth all wake up and understand the seriousness of this problem.
Bravo rgfisher21 - I have lived in fear and anxiety for 4 years now.
This may be my favorite video on the entire internet. Its so true ♥️🇨🇦
I hope we can come over to your place again soon. Thanks for keeping an eye on us, you know, from over the hedge.
I'm a Canadian who has been living in the U.S. since 1996. I've enjoyed it except for the last four years. The country has really changed. The father in that 'big house' next door lost control and let hookers and criminals into the house and now everyone is on edge and lying to cover their butt.
Yeah I realized that too. Been travelling to USA almost every week end for 10 years and now they don’t even let me in!
Thank you. Nice to be noticed.
The upside to paying for our own bandaids is we don't have to wait several months to get them, nor does the government tell us if we don't like the guy who supplies our bandaids well too bad, he's the one they're paying for.
And, just to set the record straight, you did burn down our house. Of course we burnt yours first, but you still set fire to our house. And then everyone was like "Let's just reset everything to the way it was before, except no more conscripting our sailors or arming the natives."
Touche' Ya, our health care system is going to hell in a handbasket. I'm a big fan of Brittlestar anyway. I live relatively near the border on the west coast. I really like what the Peace Arch says, "Sons of the Same (sane?) Mother" 👌 Incidentally, Our PM, Justin Trudeau was on the Stephen Colbert show the other night. Even pur PM made a smug remark about Canada's National Health Care. If I'd been in the viewing audience, I'd have shouted the above plus "what are you going to do about it Mr Trudeau?!" (as we are heading to a federal election as well.) 🙄
"and the kids have to pay for their own band-aids!" I see what you did there lol
A Canadian admits they can be a little judgmental, too? That’s a gross generalization, of course, but playing the accepting cousin has kinda become the country’s identity. Don’t get me wrong, I love (and really miss) my trips to Canada, but there have been many times I’ve been the only (anonymous) American in a group, and if America comes up, the conversations can be highly critical and mocking. Not that I mind usually, they’re not lying about anything, they’re just having honest conversations between friends about the neighbor who pours gasoline inside his house, throws a match, and wonders who called the firemen.
At least you have a good attitude aboot it. 😊
@@leebot558 I'm sorry, Mr Bot, are you starting a fight with me? Better skootch off, bud.
@@JBond-zf4dj well what the heck do ya mean, eh? easy there, bucko!
@@tinfoilhatter buddy / bot was deleted
@@JBond-zf4dj and if he was actually offended, his Canadian friends would simply say "We're sorry."
Canada gave Tom Macdonald to the world. Oh...and some of the funniest South Park Jokes! "Their not even a real country anyway!" Lmao
“If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan
Technically a Whatchamacallit is a Candy Bar. I learned recently that in the US, any chocolate product that contains oils in addition or instead of just cocoa butter cannot be called chocolate. It really makes you question weather or not you want to eat something that's full of hydrogenated palm oil instead of real cocoa butter doesn't it...
I love your contribution to the Mad Max World we live in!
I’m going to start using that whenever possible….biggest export? Raw smug!
This guy is a National Treasure. We want him.
Thank you for spelling neighbour with a U. Lol. Yep we do need to hose down the roof now and again.
Huge LOL!
And SOoooo bang on.
Sorry about those fires, eh. :)
You should have said about the house next door "and some times our kids have to go next door to get band aids when dad is rationing ours..."
I thought that Canada was like living over a big party. Sometimes you're happy that they're having a good time. Sometimes you wish you were invited. And sometimes you wish they'd shut the hell up!
I think of it as living next to a bully who never mows the lawn, plays their music to loud, has bad domestic fights and keeps an old car up on blocks. Entertaining at times but mostly you try and ignore the ugly bits because theres no way you can do anything to fix things. They have to.
Wow that’s just rude
Typical smug Canadian
It's not just Canada. America is the laughingstock of the world. It's time for American superior attitudes to die. America is hated in most of the world. It is a failed state and social experiment that couldn't meet the test of time and special interests.
Love your tshirt. Where did you get it from?
Pray for us.
Yup, so true! Now I think I know why Canadians apologize too much...because we have to apologize to the rest of the world for our loud neighbours and us having to deal with them lol I bet Canada didn’t put out a Craig’s List AD to seek a neighbour or volunteers to be a neighbour to America, but we love them anyways unconditionally
Boy howdy, isn't THIS still relevant! 😄
Like living next door to a drunk with a Pit Bull !
it will end in fire
Funny this is how western Canadians thinks of Ontario noisy neighbours
Sorta like the 70s and the Canadian flags on American backpacks...
Too true. I want to keep the relationship with our U.S.neighbours positive. After all, the Peace Arch between Surry and Bellingham states"Sons of the Same Mother". But gosh, I hope Trump doesnt think we eat their pets....yet.
House on fire hu? Whatever happened to the forest fire Canada had a few years back that made its way to the States? Oh that's right, us loud neighbors had to go and help. You're Welcome Canada 😁👍
NICE ONE!!! But please, no more cargo shorts.
🇨🇦 ❤️
Living next door to 'Murica is like living next door to a violent armed psychopath off their meds.
It’s funny to see how much sht has happened in Canada since
Excellent observation. We have a bunch of greedy corporate types whose eyes are looking north of the border. Take care.
Raw smug 😁😘👌
"The kids have to buy their own bandaides" We are going broke buying prescription drugs that cost twice as much as they do in Canada, and all we do is bicker about who is the party in charge. It's not fun
I'm sure the universal healthcare in Canada is spectacular 🙄 . Long wait times, a system that promotes reactive care instead of proactive care, and of course anything run by a government is surely ideal. There's a reason why thier wealthy citizens seek private healthcare options.
it's the tshirt for me
It IS because we are smarter!!!!
Take Ned Flanders. Subtract God. See Homer Simpson. Add God. Canada - US relations.
Do a video of u chugging syrup
Isn't there a national chug-a-thon every year on Moose Day?
Send help......PA, USA
Imagine paying for healthcare smh couldnt be me
lol
Raw Smug, eh.... lol
Nah, we're smarter. A lot of us actually aren't all that smart - just smarter than Americans.
THIS GUY SHOULD PRAY FOR THE USA THAT WE REMAIN FREE OR MOVE NEXT TO IRAN OR CHINA
nah, no need. there's lots of room on this continent for both our countries. we do pray for the USA, though not that you "remain free" whatever that means..
It's funny how you think you're free...
It's funny to me how some other countries talk trash about the US but at the same time they want the support and help from the US.
Like it or not we are a global family and the US needs other countries too. And a lot of countries could have not used any help from the US and it was kind of forced on them to accept that "help".
The USA has repeatedly forced its "help" upon countries who never wanted or needed it when it served The United States' own interests. When the Bush administration demanded France's participation in the invasion of Iraq, Jacques Chirac said: "This is a nation of thugs and bullies always claiming to be The Good Guys."
There's some trash talk!
Not really but what can you do when the US keeps telling you that only they know how to make it better bigger nosier etc. and frankly bully you into including them. The US always comes late to the party.WW1-2 for example but only when there was something in it for them and they wanted access. At this point in time and given the swamp that is your present "democracy" I don't think many "other countries" would even offer to hold back your hair while you are puking.
what's the last time the USA sincerely helped anyone?
Yep I hate anti Americanism
Funny stuff, however being smug in this manner is tantamount to being a jerk which is wholly un-Canadian. Were you aiming for Irony? If so, mission accomplished.
He's being funny. It's called dry humor, something else that is disappearing in this anxiety, hate filled American culture. Our comedy is cruel and profane for the most part. Can't get enough of Brittlestar.
technicaly we live in America...cause it is a continent not a contry! sory, you are funny tough

@@Simpleaffair1 so why there is no contry named america in your list.....you just made my point
@@verogoss It is in the list, look at bottom of the list: United States of America... that is its formal name... America.
@@Simpleaffair1 perfect retort.
I'm American and super proud. When people from other countries bash the US, I honestly think they are ignorant. Short memories.
They are
Unless it’s comedy
But can you blame us though? All your mainstream media bashes your own country, and president. The Democrats now say the USA is a patriarchal white supremacy, systemically racist and sexist (and probably hetero-centric and ciss-normative and transphobic). We read your papers, that's our window to your country. Most people I know think the New York Times is the absolure best reference as far as journalism goes to understand what's happening in the USA. Patriotism seems like a dirty word for you guys right now, your media tells us only white supremacists are proud of the USA.
@@elisabeth-vallee yes we can there are some stereotypes about shit you said and yeah there are some truth to it but if any one is going to classify a group of people because of the things they have seen they are just a ignorant jackass nothing more to it
